Hey y'all! I'm Sarah, 6 days away from turning 30 (is it weird that I'm excited about that?), married, and mother to 3 of the best kiddos EVER (ages 13, 8, and 3 - all of the 4-legged variety). I live on the MS coast and have a great job as an environmental scientist. Most of my days are spent sitting in front of the computer, so my lifestyle is pretty sedentary. I'm trying to lose 22 lbs (ultimate goal is probably 27 but let's be realistic!) for many reasons, including ME, my HOT-TIE husband, ME, and prepping for the 2 leg kind of kids. I'm having a really hard time with the weight loss, which is why I joined MFP a few weeks ago. Like, hard time as in I spent months training for then ran a 1/2 marathon earlier this year and went from 150 to 145. That's it - 5 frickin' pounds! All of which I put back on post-marathon. I usually work out 4-5 times a week. I am a member at a group fitness gym, so it's all classes. I go to kickboxing, step aerobics, BodyCombat, etc. If I can't make it to one of the classes on any day, then I try to make sure I get a quick run in - usually around 3 miles. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what Gary is talking about for the Killer side of the workouts, but I'm super excited to see what they entail! GO SAS!!0

Dawn, we won't be offended!! I appreciate honestyI am pretty quiet, but like trimom63, I have a very sarcastic personality. That is why I usually don't get involved in many conversations on-line. I am worried that what I say will be taken wrong.

Yes, you can do a combo of the extreme and regular, that shouldn't be a problem.
Once we get closer to September I will start a new thread with our new team name as the topic, it will probably be the last week of August.
What does everyone do for the normal work out routine?
Right now I am doing the ChaLean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid. I also have started running, I run a 3 mile block around my house but there is a massive hill that I cannot run up or down yet (I live out in the country). When I am not up to running the block I walk it. I usually work out 6 days a week.
I haven't had a regular -formal work out routine for a long time. My w/o consist of painting, sealing floors and moving furniture, taming the grass in our yard as of late. I do wear a pedometer and track my steps/miles. I love cardio kick boxing and weight training. I did the 1st month of Chalean Extreme and loved it!!! I'm wanting to start again soon. So I will be doing the regular to start. I'm looking forward to getting back to working out (me time)..... everyday!0 -

I am also sarcastic! Ha this ought to be great! I meant that with no sarcasm. Please don't shy away if you are sarcastic, or not sarcastic. If I say something to anyone and I am just being an *kitten* I will try to make sure that I post *sarcasm* next to it or something like that.0

I know this was a few days ago but what about a team name of Pinup Girls?....shoot if I reach my goal I sure would be a pinup girl (with stretch marks)...LMAO!! Well just a thought...I am too excited ladies you guys are a mess and I love it!! Mess in a great way!! I was so trying to keep my comments screened, but since everyone else is sarcastic looks like I don't have to anymore.0

I currently workout at least twice a day at my job. I work for Bank of America and they have a gym at our facility and it is so nice!! They have trainers and instructor lead classes. We are also doing the Biggest Loser for prizes and with the grand prize being $500 I am so determined to win. Do you like the Turbo fire?? There is a room in the gym where we can do videos if we want to and I usually will do Insanity but would like a change.0 -
Hi, I'm Sarah too, or three or four.... No really my name is Mary. I live in the "Waterpark Capital of the World", Wisconsin Dells. My husband and I have 4 children - one married and expecting, two boom-a-rangs (they recently graduated from college, no jobs yet; so they are back home) and one in college. I am 54 and recently retired from teaching. I had worked in a hospital/university setting for years. I think I have all the vices you have commented. I just into things without looking, I can never do anything half way, I hate to lose (except weight). Currently I am approaching my maintenance weight. I need to learn how to stay there. I always joke that because it it so cold here, I have to add insulation in winter (this takes the form of 10 pounds or so). My weaknesses are chocolate, salty foods, and wine. We have a well stocked wine cellar that I frequent.
Good luck to all on this tribal journey.0 -
does it work for us?0 -
Whilst I'm on summer vacation, my exercise is mainly walking, running, hiking & Wii Fit Plus!
I am looking forward to going back to work - just so that I can use the gym again!!!
I have taken part in Boot-camps too - which is where I rediscovered my love for exercising. I especially like tabata, or the military style assault courses!!

Um yes!!!!! I love it!
Yes I love Turbo Fire, the music is awesome!0 -

climbers, 10 globe jumps, 10 Squat Kicks, 10 ZigZag Hops! These are a little different. IF YOU ARE ABLE
AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed

Wednesday - REST BECAUSE THURSDAY ITS GOING TaaaaaRIBALLLLL!!!!!!!!
Weekly Team Challenge
4000 team crunches, 4000 Jumping Jacks and 100 extra miles! This equals about 200 per team for
crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last
part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next
month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking
back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to
exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep
it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!0 -

Hi! I'm glad to be part of the team!! Thanks for letting me join!
A little about me...I'm Stacey, mom to 3 kids--ages 5, 3 and 1. My husband is Army National Guard, and he's deploying in just over 3 weeks. So September would be a GREAT month for me to have a challenge to focus on. I've been overweight pretty much since high school. I don't remember the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds. I've used food as a way to cover up my emotions, and the last 2 times my husband deployed, I gained weight both times. I weigh about 60 pounds more than I did when we got married. But I've decided no more (I have a blog here, if you really want to read more about my story).
I am totally committed to changing my ways this time. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since I committed to my new life, and I'm feeling great! I work out at least 30 minutes everyday--either on the elliptical, Walk Away the Pounds DVD or walking/jogging outside. I'll be joining the YMCA soon, too, to add some strength training to my routine.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and doing this challenge together! Thanks again for adding me to the team!0 -
I will put out an updated team roster later today....work is killing me right now so please bear with me!0
