    Wow, I just realized there's only a week left of February. I'm looking forward to seeing how many inches I've lost.
    Yesterday my husband after putting his hand on my leg ,while setting beside me, said to me, your leg feels tighter then it usually does. Plus he can see a difference in how I look, he's also brags to others how proud of me of how persistent I am.
    I am 5'2 and 298 lb. So it isn't always easy to do them, but I have done them everyday, at first modified, now am proud I can do more. Still modified on the push ups. And not able to do as many as is stated to do. But I keep adding and push myself. I've always been a determined person. My mom while she was here this past weekend, even said she could see a difference and was proud of me.
    well today exercises are about to be done have a great day everyone

    I think we're all as curious as you are to know your final result!

    No matter what, that's amazing work you've been doing!

    Not sure when I last posted...but I'm still working on the Fab February challenge. I've now completed up to Day 22, so only a little behind at this point. Of course, I don't think 30 day challenges are really meant to be done in one day, but I did do a massive catch up workout today (Day 9-22) by completing 125 Sit Ups, 125 Jumping Jacks, 125 Back Extensions, 125 Side Crunches, 280 Mountain Climbers. (Felt like I was back in the military with that kind of workout). Worked on them in 5 sets throughout the day. Going to be paying for it tomorrow...we'll see if can even move when I wake up.

    Thanks for the encouraging words! You're too sweet!

    Personally, I'm thinking it was incredibly stupid of me to put it off for so long, since I'm definitely feeling it today...and suspect the DOMS is only going to get worse before it gets better. But that's why you don't try to do a 28 day challenge in one day...it's supposed to build so you don't feel it too badly. C'est la vie. Maybe that'll teach me from being such a procrastinator.

    But I did get Days 23 and 24 done today (40 ea Sit Ups, Jumping Jacks, Back Extension, Side Crunches; and 170 Mountain Climbers since I wasn't sure my re-typed schedule was right, so did more to be sure I got them all done). I had to do them in two sets though since I'm so sore from yesterday. In my re-wickered schedule Days 25 and 26 are rest days...so....

    Fab Feb Challenge all caught up to Day 26. :smiley:

    Hidey Hi Campers!

    Not fallen off our pretty little planet, just been a bit manic.

    Day 27 fab abs, love handles and rake challenge done!

    Off topic, has anybody done 30 Day Shred? I think I may give it a go in March - as long as I survive the final day of this challenge!

    Since I have a super long paddle planned for tomorrow, and I suspect it will take everything out of me, I decided to front load the last day of the Fab Feb challenge and knock it out today (plus I was on a roll from the weekend). I think I may have done a few extra of some of them to keep the counts consistent. Had to break them up into 2 sets, but got them done.

    Day 27-28: Done Fab Feb Completed. :smiley:
    --- 50 ea Sit Ups, Jumping Jacks, Back Extensions, Side Crunches; 100 Mountain Climbers.

    Cleaning challenge continues to be deferred... :/
