Great Job Campers!!!!

One week down and five to go. Already some of you are upset that the weight isn't coming off. THere are a few possibilities for why this is happening. YOU ARE STILL EATING TO MUCH! Maybe not everyday, but your body and appetite are making up for deficit calories at some point. It might be that you are not weighing and measuring your food. If your body is burning more than you are eating... YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT! Even if you are gaining lean weight... you are still eating to much. The muscle you are gaining (weight) is still a gain. Muscle cant come from thin air. It comes from excess calories... even though it is protein... it is still excess. You may need to gain muscle, and in that case it is ok to gain some lean mass. But most of us need to lose fatty tissue as much as gain muscle. This is possible to do while losing weight. You need to lose more fat than gain muscle. If you will come to tomorrows diet talk, we will teach you how to do this. Please hang in there. Your hard work and dedication will pay off!!!!!!

Well, everyone, your first week is over. It may have been the hardest week your body has ever been through, but hang in there. You can do it and the good results are just around the corner if you do all that is being asked of you. I have been quietly observing and everyone looks like they are doing just great, a lot better than I was doing in my first week! I want to especially congratulate Gina, who I saw this morning after 8 am bootcamp with Paula. She came in and did almost the whole hi-lo aerobics class with us after a whole hour of grueling bootcamp and did a great job, too. First, she was going to watch, then decided to give it a try, then ended up staying until the last 10 minutes. Kudos to you, girl! You are doing so great and you have really got the spirit to make it work, Keep up the can do attitude and there will be no stopping you! I am happy to help you with anything you may need. Robin
