This is something for everyone to keep in mind as you start. It's also why I did such a long term gauntlet. Let's take a moment to look at the important things to remember from Jon_Snow, Credaholic, and me.
My weight has been hovering around 190 lbs for weeks now. [...] my weight hasn't budged much.
[...]
I took my measurements today for the first time since starting T25. Everything is the same :-/ Don't have a scale, so not sure if weight has budged yet. [...]
We are only a week in, and while the nature of having measurable goals is something that helps with the motivation, and gives us an unequivocal way of defining success, the body adapts, and adapts quickly. This means that weight and body fat varies day to day. You will very rarely find a solid line that perfectly represents the trend. That has a tendency to get some people down, since they focus on the numbers, but I will say that I don't think anyone needs to worry about that, at least not in the short term. Think of the daily market fluctuations. Those can be a bit intimidating, but as Mustachians, it's not really a concern, since we are all about the long term results. So the actual metric that measures success will let us know when we have arrived at our goal, but there is something a touch more important for monitoring the journey:
[...] it feels and looks like my body fat % is going down[...]
[...] I feel stronger and more toned though!
The fact that you are treating your body better, and the fact that there is more that you feel like you can do today than you could yesterday, that slight burn in the muscles as you push them (or in the case of my spinal muscles during bridges, use them), and that slight endorphin rush as you use your body to do things it revels in, all of these things are indicators along the journey. And it looks like everyone who checked in so far is doing awesome!
Getting past the mental hangups is another good sign of a successful journey. I always called it my auto-pilot, the stuff I mindlessly do. It looks like tmac is also getting into a routine, and feeling more comfortable with consistency, even if there is room to improve.
So mad props everyone, and don't forget that everyone here is rooting for you!! You've got this.
