Round 2 has ended! It's time to submit your official weigh-in for this round so you can start collecting cash if you win.

That means we're into Round 3! Keep yourself accountable by weighing in unofficially or by submitting progress weigh-ins through Membership. To reward players for consistency each Wednesday we’ll randomly reward an exciting progress prize to one or more players who submitted a Progress weigh-in during the 7 days leading up to the drawing. The next drawing is on Jun 27.. Any official weigh-in’s submitted within the 7-day Progress weigh-in window will automatically apply as the weeks Progress weigh-in. Remember, that only official, Referee-verified weigh-ins determine who wins. Your goal for Round 3 is 8% of your initial weight. Good luck!

Question: if I don’t make my Round 2 goal, do the goals for subsequent rounds get adjusted, or stay the same?

I was put on a two-week course of prednisone for a painful condition in my ear; anyone who’s ever taken it or a similar glucocorticoid knows it wreaks havoc (stimulates appetite, interferes with sleep, causes water retention) and I am no exception. I won’t be able to make my Round 2 goal; I’m guessing I’ll have to step it up for subsequent rounds.

Just a tip for those of you traveling over the summer, beware of water weight. Obviously you all know not to go bonkers on junk food and to stay active at your destination, but it's extremely important to stay hydrated and move often during travel. Especially if your travel is very close to weigh-in time, get up and move around as frequently as possible. Sitting in a car or plane for hours at a time will decrease circulation and cause you to bloat a bit. It'll come off quickly if it happens (couple days usually), but more movement during the travel period will help it not be a problem should you need to do a weigh-in shortly after.

What happens if I’m out of town for the next weigh in? Can I use a different scale?

Which do you prefer: cardio or strength?

For me I get better results from strength training, but I got so out of shape that I struggle to get started sometimes and end up just doing cardio because it's "easier." I do enjoy a good pump after a weight training session, though.

So good and bad happened today. Bad is that I nearly screwed up my weigh-in. Good is that without thinking, I woke up, chugged about 16 ounces of water, took my dog out, and drank another 8-10 ounces of water to take my supplements all before panic set in when I remembered I was supposed to do my weigh-in lol. Good habits taking over, but note to self: have alarms set for next month

Grateful for the 2 day weigh in period because I needed that extra day! On to round 2!

How many of us reached our Round 1 goals? I did. High Fives!

For anyone who didn't, you CAN do this! Never take not meeting your goal as a failure. When you treat it instead as if you are learning, then you've learned a path that doesn't work for you. Also High Fives! Change gears and try something else! You've got this!
