The end of summer marked the end of our very first Results Lab. As you can see, it was an incredibly productive 3-month journey!
Some of the amazing things the labsters ACCOMPLISHED:
- Lost 6 pounds
- Gained a group of fitness support people in my life
- Able to do a handstand against wall for 5 breaths
- Had some great bike commutes to work during heat of summer
- Lost over 20 pounds
- Made new friends that are very supportive of my goals
- Track my food daily on My Fitness Pal
- Swam 2-3 miles each week
- Can lift arm gracefully without pain
- Lost 5 pounds
- I am stronger and have more energy
- I am sleeping nearly 7 hours each night
- Lost 4 pounds
- Walked an average of 3.5 miles each day
Some of the helpful things they LEARNED:
- To bring my scale with me when I travel
- To do something every day – either walk or gym
- When stuck, I try to go for 80% instead of 100%. 80% is a total WIN!
- Process oriented goals are better than outcome goals
- Food tracking makes a HUGE difference
- Weightlifters can be cool people and they are not as scary as they look on TV (my personal favorite)
- My Fitness Pal gave me helpful knowledge that Weight Watchers didn’t
- It’s possible to make exercise a priority even when I am super-busy at work
- Consistency is the key
- To reach out to people for support… and to give support
Thank you, Susan, for being the most awesome facilitator imaginable, and thanks to the Labsters for filling the gym with laughter and warmth every other Saturday! And congratulations on your RESULTS!
