This morning I took my measurements for my Lean1 weight-loss blogsperiment. It’s been six days rather than a full week since my last measurements, because today I drove down to Sonoma for a 5 day training trip and didn’t want to cart my scale and measuring tape around with me! Here are today’s numbers:
Left Quad: 53 cm
Waist: 64 cm
Weight: 116 lb
So, lost 1 lb, 1 cm of waist, and gained .5 cm of quad. But since this is an at-home experiment there were of course a few variables: I got 9 inches of hair removed from my head yesterday, and I did an hour of leg strength-training at the gym last night. Which might mean that I am even with last week, I am not sure – either way I am really enjoying my daily Lean1 shake and feeling great about my training, I couldn’t ask for much more than that!

just for the record, I am NOT in support of this experiment. It may be very entertaining for the readers in the safety of their homes and offices, but I am the one who has to deal with a million “Do my legs look fat?” and “I’m hungry, what should I do?” questions ever since this experiment started.
you are both falsifying AND exaggerating.
I have a LEan1 in the late morning – then it helps me from having a massive lunch. If I’m training in the AM, then I simply have my Lean1 around 3pm and I feel so much fuller with a small dinner. In the evening if I’m craving sweets – I grab the Sleep1 which helps curb the sweet-tooth and gives me that extra water!
My legs look fat when I put my leg warmers on. The fat gets pinched and sticks out. I’ll ask Greg his opinion next time I see him.
You need to show your data in a week over week format and ideally accompanied by a chart. Lastly, you should note your %water and bodyfat if you’ve got one of those scales. Not sure what the % error is but I assume if you control for hydration that will help.
Other things you should note: energy? mood? eagerness to train? any other qualitative items?

I hate the leg warmer effect…I call it the sausage effect. Ugh. Damn legs.
simple solution to leg warmers… DON”T WEAR THEM. I just wear running tights that go all the way up to the top of my bike shorts. No sauge effecrt and far more comfortable.
