Today was the final weigh-in at work. I can say, I'm not very happy with my results. At one point I was up to 21 lbs lost and this morning I was only at 16 lbs lost. With that I have a few ways to look at it. I could throw in the towel and accept nothing works for me. I can keep trying and assume that the fluctuation in weight was actually building muscle. I can change my workout routine to incorporate a variety of things.
I love Bikram. I know that my body is changing. I know that my mind is growing. I have more strength then I remember ever having. I am finding the flexibility I once had as a dancer. I will not change that. I will keep to a 5 day per week Bikram class schedule. I am going to add to that 2-3 days a week of a strict cardio routine. Walking, running, something. I need to shed this fat. It's in my way!
Although I am not happy with my final weigh-in results, I know it is a great accomplishment. I have lost and kept off 1 lb per week. That is good steady weight loss. That is the kind of weight loss that is permanent and shows a change in lifestyle - not the results of a fad diet.
Thank you for continuing to support me and I look for any advice you may have!

Amber, I would not worry about the weight numbers ! Seriously, those numbers do not mean anything. It could be water weight it could be muscle weight. It is just a number. You are feeling good an you are looking good and your body keeps changing ! Keep up your Bikram Practice and you will see the change. The doubles help out as well. All I do is Bikram Yoga and my body has transformed so much in the past few years. IT takes time ! be patient
I wish you all the best on your path
