So... I am a TERRIBLE exercise slacker. I ordered a hrm from amazon, and it will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get it!! I'm hoping that between that and my curiosity for how it works will help keep me motivated.

Am I too late?

poeticpurl

I tired to think of some things I could work out on at the office. I did not come up with much. I have a 8 hr shift and I sit for most of it. I have done knee bends and calf raises at my desk. I swilvel in my chair from side to side with my feet flat on the floor, It kind of makes my coworker a little motion sick. I figure every time she gets up I can get a mini min to try it out.

This is harder for me to think of things to do.

Welcome DTM820.

When I worked in an office for long days where a lot of the work was at a desk, I would find excuses to get up every so often, I also traded my chair for a big balance ball, lol. There's always the thighmaster as well :-)

Sorry I'm a little behind on my posting guys - I was terribly busy the past two days.

DTM820 - you're not too late to join in on the challenges and support, the more the merrier! We are almost a month in though, so I would say strive for 24lbs or so by St Patty's Day just so you don't end up feeling burned out or anything! Anything after that is a bonus

ymamyma - let me know what you think of the HRM, I've been pondering one!

mbodine - GOOD JOB!!! That's awesome!!!

If you have a resistance band, you can do some arm exercises

I am starting this challenge at 152 pounds. I waited until I lost the 5 pounds I regained during Christmas weekend, and I successfully did. I am setting my goal from my lowest weight.

esorcel good to see you here!!! You are so motivated. One of my friends has purposely been packing on the pounds so he has a better chance of winning a biggest loser challange at his work that starts weighing in Jan 3rd. He's such a cheater!!

Cassandra1219

Alrighty, here's what I've got for this week - you'll notice the initial number was your starting number, followed by current number (I'm not putting every week on, just start and current). I'm not doing any removals for people that didn't weigh in yesterday, since this is a holiday weekend, but I'll remove next week for people that joined and then never updated/haven't been active at all.

We're all doing amazing - especially with the holidays here! Great work!

hi there im now at 234just wondering will we srsrt a new thread on jan 01

mrmarler

Hope that it is not too late to join. I'm Raeschel I'm 30 and was recently told that I was fat, by a coward behind a fake profile on facebook. Needless to say this pissed me off. So I decided to channel this into me losing they weight I have needed to get off for a while! My SW 173 Id like to be down to 160 by St. Patricks day! I recently just quit my job (long story) So I am a stay at home girlfriend. I look forward to my runs everyday so that I get out of the house! My challenge is not to eat everything in my house while I am at home.

klwa

158.5 this morning! I'm so excited to be below 160. It's been awhile! This is the time in the past when I have slipped because my weight's been down a little. I have to remind myself that this is a journey, and that "slow and steady" is the way to make this permanent. So. Off to the gym today to get in an hour of cardio, and watch the calories!

margie_77

209 for the end of the month. See ya'll next year!

poeticpurl

I am a 223 today.

My abs are killing me I have been doing Jillian Michaels six week six pack. It is free on my tv right now. My knee is bothering me other wise I would be sticking with my new dance wii games. Which are a lot of fun.

Have a happy new year all!

velvetechos
