    Hi girls, glad I've found this group. I started BBG about 6-7 weeks ago, but took 3 weeks off, had a holiday and last week I was just too tired. I've completed the beginner weeks, so my plan is to do BBG week 1 starting tomorrow. Do you all have the equipment that you're supposed to use? I don't have a bench or a medicine ball, am thinking hand weights will be fine, but wondering if I should invest in a bench?
    @PIQUEABOO hope you can start again soon

    And I'm BACK!!

    Week 1 | Day 1 | DONE! (I'm restarting for obvious reasons)

    Welcome @mrssunshine78 it's great to have you! Maybe you'll start with me today! FYI, I have none of the equipment other than a yoga mat, I lift this beanbag I have the weighs 5kg, and I step onto my sofa - I'm kinda refusing to invest any money in my weightloss to prove that it can be done without equipment or a gym, but I'm stubborn as a donkey!

    Hey @Piqueaboo I did day 1 week 1 too, legs for me, very much hard work!! I just use my outside step, think I'll stick with that for now. Hope you feel ok after your workout

    Yay for starting you two!! I have weights and used a stair for a long time but ended up treating myself to a bench because I'm an equipment junkie.

    Yesterday was weigh in day and I'm down 4 lbs over the last month and almost 11 total. Still a ways to go but I'm liking this pace because I'm not feeling deprived except I could use some more wine...

    @muffinsandcakes do you mean you keep starting then stopping? How long have you been doing it?

    Arms and abs for me tonight, it was hard work, my upper body strength is very poor.

    Week 1 | Day 2 | DONE!

    @pupsalot - Amazing!! That's a fantastic loss!

    @muffinsandcakes - don't worry, I've restarted this program like 4 times at this point? Not made it past week 5 yet, let's see if it'll work this time.

    @mrssunshine78 - Same, I have strong legs, but my upper body strength is practically non-existent!

    What other workouts do you do if any? This week I'm doing 3 BBG workouts and maybe a run or a T25 workout.

    This evening I'll be doing total body BBG, still aching from other workouts so I know it will be tough!

    Hey all!! I went on vacation last week (I should have known BBG/runs weren't going to happen haha). I ran last night just because I felt gross from vacation. Doing last Friday's BBG tonight to get in the groove for tomorrow to start week 4!

    @Piqueaboo YAY!! So glad you waited and started killing it again :)

    @pupsalot I'm so impressed! I can only imagine how awesome you look and feel. Keep it up, you're my inspo to get my *kitten* back on track!

    @mrssunshine78 Hey and welcome! I found this group about a month ago and it's been really awesome to stay up to date with everyone. I have a yoga mat, medicine ball (10lbs), and dumbells (5lbs). When I have to do skipping I just pretend I have one haha!

    @muffinsandcakes It's a huge mind game, I will start convincing myself why I should skip the day when I feel unmotivated. "I'm so tired" "I have no time today". I'm telling myself, I can complain about not being the weight I want OR I can complain about being tired or not making time. Either way, I'll complain but at least one of the options lets me feel awesome!! Hope this helps :)

    LET'S ALL KILL THIS WEEK!

    Hello everyone! Week 10 Legs this morning was rough but I got it done. Last week wasn't my best nutrition wise but trying to get back to it today.

    Welcome back Emily!

    Mrssunshine, congrats on week 2. Legs are always killer workouts.

    End of my second proper week, I've done total body today, I did struggle as I had a slight hangover.
