No really, I am! Aren't you a scientist if you make up & do random experiments? So, I'm a scientist.
I have been having a HARD time the last couple months. I have been at a plateau and getting discouraged. I know that at this point my weight loss is SUPPOSED to SLOW down, I WAS NOT prepared for it to STOP altogether!
Okay, not STOP, I have been losing 2-3 lbs here and there. And then gaining it back (I must've MISSED it, you see) only to lose it again a week or so later.
So here is the experiment. I am not going to do ANYTHING to assist my weight loss other than attend boot camp. I am not going to track my food (OHHHH), I'm not adding in any extra cardio (ooohhhh) and I'm not going to step on the scale (YIKES!). I am not going completely off the deep end. I still want to feel good and eating all the junk & "bad" food that got me where I was in the first place leaves me feeling like BARF.
I will live this way for the next 2 weeks.
On June 12th I will weigh, measure and refocus. I will PURGE every nasty, carb loaded, calorie packed food item in my house (at least the ones that are REALLY tempting, some of the stuff Mark & the kids like just doesn't turn my head anymore). I will take pictures of myself AND the scale to post here. I will be 100% up front with the results of this experiment.
For those who "want" to know, I've been hovering right around 180 lbs for about 2 months now. This morning I weighed 180.4 I am currently wearing a size 12 in jeans/pants/skirts. I have 2 pairs of size 14 shorts that are comfortably loose and one pair of size 12 shorts that fit SOOO perfectly.
That is where I am starting out. We'll see where I stand in 16 days!

I'm very interested to see how this experiment turns out. As they say: a watched pot never boils...
Hope the experiment goes well.
Do you think that you're getting enough variation in your workouts? Maybe it's a muscle memory issue as to why you plateaued? I'm starting P90X on Monday. Wish me luck! I'm at 160 and hoping to go down to 140- if I get to 130, I will be ecstatically happy!
