Thanks for your post. I recently began Bikram (about three weeks ago).
I went 19 of the past 21 days.
This past weekend i just crashed. I have been absolutely exhausted. I can barely convince myself to go tonight. Also i got on the scale and have gained 7 pounds!!!! I was an avid runner and have not ran at all the past 3 weeks. My clothes are definitely tighter in my thighs but my waist is smaller. Im trying to focus on all the positive benefits but i really need to loose weight not gain. Im wondering if i made a rash decision to quit the gym and sign up for one year of Bikram.
I keep reading how my metabolism and food cravings can change with Bikram. I dont want to give up but i am discouraged. I think i should give it at least 30 days to have a chance to make a difference. Perhaps i should just do hot yoga 3 times a week and run the rest; however, i was told by the instructors that to get the real benefits it would be best to go as much as I can. How quickly does it usually take a person body to really start changing?
