Weigh In:
The “week 2 slump” found a few challengers in week 3! A few of our weight loss leaders used the same crazy concepts (hard work and clean nutrition) they used in the first 2 weeks but posted ½ pound or 1 pound losses that pale in comparison to the first weeks. On the flip side, John continued his tear with a 5# loss and was followed strongly by Ted (4#) Dianne (4#) Stephanie (3#) and Christine (3#).
All in all, the challengers totaled 37.8# this week for a total of 172# of weight loss through 3 weeks. Our trainers are a bit upset since they expect 42# or more every week, but Jason took a pass this week and insider reports indicate that he was going to pull the missing 4.2 pounds that were missing.
Education:
Dr. Nick graced the Saturday program with a presentation on injury prevention and rehabilitation. He covered a wide array of topics but some of his big take home points were:
Exercise:
Does Dr. Nick beep? Seriously… every time anyone saw Dr. Nick this week he was beeping. Now, we know that those heart rate monitors beep if they go above a certain BPM, but no matter who he was with, Dr. Nick was beeping all week. Well… whatever it was, we’re thinking about getting Tom and Courtney a beeping device because Triple Threat is still kicking butt! They have lost 63# already and are all safe on the Track 1 board.
Nutrition:
What kind of teacher shows you how to cheat on his test? Well, Tom did just that this week. He weighed in at 9am and then again after the group workout. In just 1 hour he lost 4.6 pounds! How is that possible? “I’m a heavy sweater and I worked out really hard for 60 minutes. On the scale, 74 oz of sweat loss equated to 4.6#, but the moral of the story is that if I had to weigh in weekly, that 4.6# is going to bite me in the butt because it was ‘false weight.’
Anyone in the program can cheat the scale 1 week and post a big number, but the next week they’ll be in trouble. Likewise, if I had a lot of salt intake last night and drank 4 cups of coffee this morning I would probably retain a pound or so of water, plus have 2# of coffee in my stomach and the scale would show +3.
What it all comes down to is that weekly weights are usually +/- 1 pound and the only way to consistently lose weight over the course of a month or year is to reduce body fat. AND THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. Let’s stop talking about what happens in 7 days and start focusing on what really matters—hitting your goal weight and never looking back!”

Education:
Dr. Nick graced the Saturday program with a presentation on injury prevention and rehabilitation. He covered a wide array of topics but some of his big take home points were:
- Normal muscle pain goes away in 2-3 days. Pain at rest that lasts more than 3 days is pathology (meaning it needs to be addressed)
- If something does need treatment, the quicker you get treated, the quicker it will heal. Don’t let aches and pains turn in to injuries. When it doubt… get checked out!
