I would love to join also if it's not to late. I love the red hair, it makes me think of Valentines day. I weigh 180, my goal is 170 by Valentine's Day.

skinnywithin

EMancia

I would like to join your group if possible current Weight - 206lbs by 2/14 - 196lbs

CombatVet_Armywife

Love the title & idea of this challenge....hoping I didn't catch it too late to join! I've been stuck at a plateau for over a month, but just started the P90X program.......so between that & this challenge, maybe I'll be able to break through it!!

CSW: 170
VGW: 160

(I know my ticker doesn't convey my current weight after gaining a bit back, but afraid if I change it, I'll lose motivation!)

Good morning all! A quick post prior to the start of my morning meeting. Today I completed the Fire 45 EZ dvd from the Turbo Fire program. This is another really good dvd but I struggled with some of the moves so I had to improvise but nonetheless I ROCKED THIS OUT and BURNED 536 calories in 45 minutes.

My supervisor has just called the meeting to order so I must go. Have a great day everyone!


I'll will participate in the water and rainbow challenge today.....

I'm well on my way w/the water challenge and because I'm having a salad for dinner I think I can cover the rainbow.

we've kind of decided as a group to weigh in on whatever day you normally weigh in and Margie will update the grid when you record your new weight. I like this way better because if you are already used to weighing on a certain day of the week, you don't have to change up your M.O.

TeamLeela

Good morning all! A quick post prior to the start of my morning meeting. Today I completed the Fire 45 EZ dvd from the Turbo Fire program. This is another really good dvd but I struggled with some of the moves so I had to improvise but nonetheless I ROCKED THIS OUT and BURNED 536 calories in 45 minutes..

you are simply marvelous!!

***UPDATE***

Rainbow Challenge:

Red - strawberries, tomatoes, red pepper
Green - spinach, (5) olives, green pepper
Yellow - banana, fat-free shredded cheese, yellow pepper
Orange - orange sweet pepper
Purple - Grapes
Blue - blueberries

The salad was awesome especially w/the 4 oz of grilled steak added on the top.

Team Leela: Thank for the compliment and support. I'm hoping I can stay the course and see some real results w/this program but have decided to take it day by day.

I hope that by reading these posts I will actually become motivated to MOVE. Althought sitting in front of this computer is not much exercise. But some of the challenges and then people saying they MET them are making me say, "Oh, maybe I can do that" (especially something during commercials). That sounds totally doable and not like your tied to the dreaded treadmill..... Why am I so exercise phobic?

Here's a list of the "equipment" I have downstars is my work out area:
1) Treadmill (bought about 1 year ago, used 6 times, last time used, February 2010)
2) Fluidity Fitness Bar (bought about 4 years ago, did intro dvd once, it kicked my butt, haven't tried it since in 4 years)
3) Thick padded exercise floor mat for situps, etc (1 year old, never used once)
4) Body Balance Ball (bought about 6 years ago -- used a few times, but not in about 3 years)
5) Mini-Trampoline (bought 2 years ago this Christmas, used it about 5 times first week, haven't used it since).
6) Miscellaneous dumbell weights.

My work out area is not a dungeon or a basement, it has tons of windows and sunlight, is fully mirrored on one wall, and also has a 42" flat screen tv there. I also own an MP3 player w/headphones.

So, why oh, why, can't I go and just work out! WHY?!?!?!?!

Sorry for whining. I'm really asking myself this question. Where is my motivation? Has anyone felt like this? What do you suggest I do. I feel overwhelmed.

You definately have enough stuff to make your workout interesting.
Try mixing things up. Treadmill for 5 minutes, ball sit ups for 20 count, different strength exercises, then keep going back to the treadmill for 5 minute increments. Before ya know it you will have done a great workout. 30 minutes of straight treadmill can get boring! Good luck

wrg! great job, you motivate me. I can't wait to step on the scale tomorrow!

margie_77

scmajm22~ Of course you're on the list!!! You started this group

iawierz~ I didn't know if I should add 100 to your starting and goal or subtract 100 from your weigh in? I didn't want to assume wrong, so I just left it as was for now... let me know what I need to fix. Either way, congrats on the loss!!

esorcel
