Weight lost since starting the challenge

Hi Everyone from a very sore 30 day challenger
I have only lost 2lbs or 1kg since I started the challenge 15 days ago. I thought I would loose more -I am eating healthly cut out snacks and the infamous chocolate and cakes. How is everyone else doing with loosing weight. I feel better but have very sore knees. I am quite overweight.
Thanks everyone
Pam |||I just got to the half-way point of the 30-day challenge yesterday, and I haven't lost any weight. I started on easy, did that for a week. Then did medium for another week, and I am finally on the hard setting, but I haven't noticed much of a change. I also use a stronger resistance band. I am giving Active 110% every workout and I have cut my calorie intake as well. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but that doesn't mean much when you step on the scale and there is no change. I do have fun working out with Active, so that's good. I guess that I am getting a little frustrated.
I am going to keep on working out. I just hope that I will start to see some results soon.|||well I'm on day 12 and down 13lbs! I was quite shocked to be honest but I'm at my lowest now since having my son 9 months ago. I've been doign the hard setting all along though, watching what I eat, and drinking tons and tons of water.|||What setting is the program automatically on? Cause I didn't know you could change it. (How do you do that by the way?)
And I myself have decided not to weigh myself until I finished the 30 day program. If I lose weight, great. If I don't, then at least I'll get in shape, and it will be easier to go to the gym and get rid of the extra weight. Try to not focus on it too much. You are doing something great, and you should be proud of that. Weight loss is just a bonus, and this program will just lead you in the right direction. Keep it up !!|||Let's agree not to get discouraged by the scale. I'm feeling stronger and stronger with each workout. I've done as many as 6 of the 9 tricks in in-line skating - I think I need to emphasize that kind of scorekeeping for myself rather than weight. 12 days in, I'm still finding the "easy" setting to be challenging. Maybe as we build more stamina we can work more vigorously and get more results.|||Well, I'm gaining weight, even with the exercise and following WW. It is discouraging, but I won't stop the workouts. I know it's important to get stronger, healthier and I feel GREAT after doing them. I'm just counting on it all working out in the long term. I am finally starting to notice some changes in my body, though still not feeling like my clothes are looser.|||In order to get weight loss its simply a matter of burning more calories than you consume. However, it turns out its really not quite that simple.
First, the body has to consume a certain amount of calories to maintain efficiency. Eating too little puts the body in starvation mode it it tends to hold on to all the fat. Ever notice how some days you eat a HEALTHY amount of food and the next day you lost weight?
Second, drink lots of water, when the body has lots of water it functions better and the body tends NOT to store it when it believes there is plenty more a coming. Also a lot of water assist with the digestive system and helps move waste through the body quicker
Third, forget the scale. Start measuring your chest, waist, arms thigh. At a certain point the fat in your body is going to turn into muscle. Muscle is denser and heavier than fat.
Fourth, Just stick with the program. I recently completed P90X, one of the most intense DVD exercise programs in the world. EA active is no way near as intense but it is clearly in the same league as far as total overall fitness.|||Our bodies can be very strange when it comes to weight loss.
First, you have to make sure you're eating enough. That will be a minimum of 1200 calories a day. Much less than that, and you metabolism will slow to the point that you can actually GAIN weight eating less. Been there, done that!
I've found the best way to figure how much you should eat for efficient weight loss is to calculate how much you should eat if you were at your ideal weight. I use the daily needs calculator at Nutrition Data http://www.nutritiondata.com/tools/calories-burned You can input your daily workouts, your height, etc, and it'll come back with how many calories you would need to consume.
For my current weight, to maintain, I'd need to consume 2948 calories a day. So if I eat any less than that, I'll lose weight. The amount I eat determines how fast I'll lose the weight, and for how long I'll continue to lose weight.
For my goal weight, I'd need to consume 2239 calories a day for my activity level, which is pretty intense. I workout 3 to 4 hours a day. If I didn't workout at all, I'd need to consume right around 1800 calories.
So after figuring that out, I eat about 500 calories less than my goal weight calories, so around 1700 to 1800 calories a day.
And when I hit that goal? My loss ranges between 2 and 5 pounds a week. The average is about 3 pounds a week, which is what my doctor has recommended because of how much weight I have to lose.
But there are weeks when I hit that calorie goal everyday, and I don't lose at all, or I even gain.
So I take my measurements every week as well, and even in the weeks that I've gained, there is a drop in my inches. So I'm losing fat, but I'm gaining muscle. 5lbs of muscle takes up much less space than 5lbs of fat, so I'm okay with gaining as long as the inches are coming off.
I plan on investing in a scale that also measures body fat, because that's a much better indicator of how you are progressing in healthy weight loss. You could lose 5lbs, but if it's 5lbs of muscle, you aren't losing in a healthy way! Whereas if you gain 5lbs, but your body fat percentage drops, that means you're building muscle and doing it right!|||I am so glad someone posted on this topic. I am a week into the challenge and putting everything I have into each workout. The scale hasn't moved, but I FEEL better! I enjoy the workouts and look forward to the next day. I have never found a workout I like so much! I am hoping once the 30 day challenge is up, I will notice a difference in my clothes and on the scale.
So, my frustrations are right there with ya, but let's keep going and know that our body's definitely thanking us for it! |||I'm down 3.5 lbs and feel absolutely great.|||I've finished my first week today of the challenge. I did a Curves workout on one rest day and the Sport Day workout on Easy on the second rest day. I've gained .6 lbs! A bit of a bummer in the numbers but I'm 90% convinced it's muscle. I've been eating well and I work up a sweat with every workout. On the up side, I think I can actually see my arms a bit more toned! I've got an extra muscle bump where there wasn't one last week. I'm so glad I can finally see a change in the mirror. It's very motivating (unlike the scale some days!) Also I've noticed that the squats are much easier to do than there were a week ago.|||I'm at day 15 of my 30 day challenge. I've lost 8 lbs so far. My clothes are so loose I thought I was going to lose my shorts the other day! I'm thrilled! I started on medium intensity and today changed it to high but then the video came on saying it was going to automatically increase the intensity so I'm not sure what that means.
My goal is 25 lbs at a time (I have quite a bit of weight to lose). I'm hoping to reach this in 4 months but at the rate I'm going so far that should come sooner.
On my rest days I walk during my break at work about a half a mile.
I also take a supplement called Fucoxanthin, made from Seaweed that promotes energy and a metabolic boost. Between these two I am definately feeling the difference!
I purchased the biggest loser scale that shows my % of fat, bone weight, muscle weight, the number of calories I should consume to lose weight and the number of calories I should eat to maintain. I weigh in once a week. I'm not sure how accurate it is, though, because it says I've lost 8 lbs total body weight but 20 lbs muscle. I don't like that at all.
The leg strap is uncomfortable and doesn't work right so I hold the nunchuk but I almost decapitated myself when doing the shoulder presses so I bought a wireless nunchuck but now I can't do the lower body excercises because it doesn't pick up my movement, even though it's the same as before.|||Okay for all you people who haven't lost weight have you taken you measurements waist, hips, thigh, and calves.... you may be the same but the measurements may be decreasing.... check... take you measurements and check them once a week... you may be shocked!|||Well I started May 19th and am on the last week of the challenge now. Down 18 lbs and drooped from "obese" bmi to "Overweight" now that does not sound so great but DAMN do I feel good. 20 more lbs and I will be in the "Normal" BMI This product works so damn fabulous I am so happy about it front to back!
I ended up buying myself a Wii fit so I could have the balance board 3 days ago because that drooped me to below the weight limit and so far its fun but I don't think its totally worth it for the long run. no harder a workout I find.
Thank you EA!
6'2" 226 lbs and so damn glad about it XD|||

Okay for all you people who haven't lost weight have you taken you measurements waist, hips, thigh, and calves.... you may be the same but the measurements may be decreasing.... check... take you measurements and check them once a week... you may be shocked!

I checked my measurements last night and the only thing that has changed seems to be my thigh measurement- down 1/2". Everything else is the same- measurement and weight wise.
