Good for you! I'm on week 4, closing it out. The first two weeks went well on the scale but now…..nothing or next to nothing. Since I'm not doing the gym thing I have nothing like that to track. I did manage 20 minutes today and the speed of “TikTok” lol. (it's a band geek thing….I walk more consistently-paced with music, and i MUST walk to the beat of it. simply cannot listen to music if I can't match the beat).

Wooohooo!

To answer your question, yes, I definitely look for other signs of progress, and have noticed I get more excited about those metrics now than whatever the scale says. That's partly because I've experienced the flip side, too: the scale showing I've lost a little weight, but I hadn't been pushing very hard for awhile so had lost some muscle mass and wasn't feeling as good/strong in general.

I remember when walking at 2.0 had me sweating, breathing hard, & thinking I was going to pass out. Love seeing your progress. Thanks for sharing with us! We're cheering along with you!

I am so impressed. Really. I'm going to keep track of my progress the same way, because I'm discouraged by my scale right now too.

Isn't it awesome to see the progression with the exercise!! Good for you! Funny, I am a great motivator with others and even my kids who are training for a 5K but I STINK at doing it myself!

Seeing improvements in one's physical ability is always impressive! It's truly amazing how quickly our bodies can adapt. Back in January I was dying just running 2 miles at 9 minute/mile pace. Two weeks ago I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) at under 7 minute/mile pace.
