Please as everyone joins up come in and introduce yourself. If you want people to add you as friends feel free to say so. I'm Lauren, I'm 27 from SoCal and I've been on MFP since January of this year. I've lost 18 lbs, but am looking to get toned now. I did squats in July, abs in August, and am excited to work on my bingo arms in September. Being in SoCal, I won't always be up super early so anyone please feel free to start a new topic to check in for the day, or create a mini challenge.

    Hi, I'm Sherry. I'm looking forward to strengthening my arms and hopefully removing my batwings in the process!

    I am in! I spend alot of time working on my lower body, this is the prefect challenge to follow the squat challenge I am doing now.

    I am a CA girl (though in NorCal). Everyone else always seems to wake up earlier than us Lauren! Nice to be in the same time zone ;-)

    I'm looking forward to this challenge! Romey

    Good afternoon all!

    What a great idea! Thank you Lauren. I am brand new to MFP and look forward to the encouragement and support from everyone (and of course, fabulously sexy arms!).

    Hi my friends call me AWTY. I sure could use some arm exercises and encouragement to get started on it again!

    Thanks for having me.

    I started about 5 years ago, lost 35 pounds and got into the best shape of my life. I had a mini stroke, heart surgery and a divorce and just quit exercising.

    Gained back about 15 pounds, which I have lost again.

    Now I am on my way to losing the last 15 or 20 pounds, but more than that I want to be in SHAPE!!

    If it pleases, I believe I shall start tomorrow. (I just did lawn work today and used an edger. My arms are like jello right now! :laugh: 0

    Thank You for this wonderful challenge!:drinker:

    I am in the group Calisthenics for beginners. I brought in a 4 lb weight while I am doing crunches, lunges, etc. I think that the arm calendar will be a great addition to what I am doing now. Thanks for this.

    I'd been thinking I needed something to do after the ab challenge is finished, so this is perfect!

    Hi, I'm Terrie

    I'm doing the 30 day squat challenge for this month and was trying to decide between the abs or arms for Sept. Thanks for deciding for me. I've had an unsuccessful shoulder surgery, so I'lll be doing severly modified push-ups and may have to modify the dips or replace them with something else and I'll be using 5lb. weights. Woohoo, I'm excited!!! I'm waving good-bye to my waving arms!!!

    Looking forward to this challenge! My arms are lunch lady flabby and they are also one of my most self conscious spots. I can't wait to see the change and to gain some strength!!

    Hi all I am laura 36 SAHM to 2 kids and a wife. I am doing the Jm 30ds right now till the end of this month. I would love to work on my arms and say good bye to the underarm flab. You can feel free to add me only if your going to do this everyday. I think for each day the topic should be how many of each then we can just type that we did it. That way you will know what to do each day.

    I am thrilled to be doing this challenge. I have been doing the ab challenge, even though I don't check in everyday. Sorry about that.

    Anyway, I am 42, and am adjusting to a semi-empty nest. There are many things my husband and I want to do with our new freedom, and so much of it can't really be done in this shape of body. I need to be not only smaller, but stronger.

    Thanks again everyone.
