    Well done you for getting back up and doing them! I'm not sure if have had that motivation!!

    Well today is day 1! Off to a good start, I went to a bootcamp style class this morning which almost killed me a few times! I can't quite remember exactly how many squats we did, I'd say atleast 70 add in the lunges and step ups and burpee's and explosive squats I recken I've got the legwork covered for today lol
    I'm also trying my best to minimise binging as it's a bad thing I fo, so far no urge so yay! Altho having all three boys around today means lots of temptation!
    I've had 6 glasses already today and will definatly get another 6 in for sure!

    Good luck ladies! Happy October! :)
    Great job with bootcamp!!! Your off to a great start with the water too!! I'll check in later!!

    Today is my off day and I'm going to take advantage! Yesterday was my "cheat" day (I have 1 a week) so I'll be good today! Lots of water to flush out the pig out! :)

    Made it to 75 squats today......whew! My butt is TIRED! My thighs are sore but don't seem so tired like my butt does, lol. Tomorrow....I think I'll aim for 75 again, then see how I feel. I am sore enough I'm afraid to say I'll go beyond that!

    How did you do, Proudmama?

    It's seem a little tough, but I am willing to give it a try. I will do the challenges for this week and weigh in next Friday. Thanks for the challenge.

    Is their room for one more? I would love to join you all, I need accountability in my life. I exercise a lot, but I don't seem to have my diet figured out which makes me THE yo yo queen! I pretty much maintain my weight. I want to get to my goal weight and keep the weight off. :)

    When did you all start?

    My starting weight: 156
    My goal weight: 135-140

    Eeeeeaaaakkkk I have about 20 pounds to loose!!!!

    My height: 5'8"

    hugs

    We do indeed have room for you!! This is only our second week..Fridays are weigh in days and the start of the new challenge week. Welcome to the group & Good Luck!! Is your diary open? Maybe we could all help you with that! I know I need to work on my diet as well...too many carbs:)

    Yay, I am so excited! I just made my food diary open. :) Food is very hard for me, I looooove food. BUT... and it's a HUGE but...Food trumps Exercise! I have to remember I am not 16 anymore and can eat anything I want, just because I am working out! I've always been an athlete so this mindset is hard for me. On that note...

    I just did my 100 squats for today and I am half way through my first quart of water. :)

    Happy Sunday!

    Wow, didn't make any squats today! My quads are soooo sore, and my butt and back are so tired that when I try to bend my knees, they just want to drop me!

    I think I'll start back at a saner level tomorrow - like 20 lol - and see about working my way up TO 100 over time.

    I want to follow along with you gals. I can't do the squats due to a knee injury, but I can drink water and do other exercises. Besides, I'm down to a size 12, but I have to be a size 10 by Christmas to wear the new bathing suit I bought for a Christmas cruise. That's my goal!

    Didn't post yesterday's info, but I completed over half of my squats, definitely drank 10 glasses of water and I did 40 minutes of walking as well as 40 minutes of yoga :)

    As for today, no squats for this girl. In waaay too much pain from walking 50 minutes up and down hill, pushing a stroller today. Whew! I've drank probably 10-12 glasses of water.

    Another day tomorrow! :)

    Don't worry your not alone I didn't squat there was no way it was going to happen! Even this morning I'm still aching! Lesson learnt I'll not be deviating from exercise for a month EVER again! Lol
    Well yesterday I did 1 squat and nearly cried so thought it best to stop! I did however spend around 4 hours in the garden and only logged just over half.
    I drank 12 glasses of water and again managed to be within cals! I'm not choosing the healthiest of 'snacks' but once the bad stuff is gone I'll be back on track 100%! also I'm quite glad some of it is still there tbh, it means I hadn't eaten the whole lot in one sitting just so it's not there anymore! :)

    Got a busy day visiting friends with my little one, I'll try squatting, my legs hurt a little less today so may get some in!

    Hey all! I did kind of poorly over the weekend, just started doing the squats today. I've got 50 done so far today. Back on track with the food this week too. Looks like the rain we had this morning has stopped so I'm going to head out for a nice walk on my lunchbreak today. :)

    Didn't do a very good job logging this weekend! 75 squats on Saturday, no squats but a 2 mile run on Sunday. Okay on water, but not quite 10 either day I don't think. I will do better on water today since I am back to work. Always easier there since we have a water cooler!

    Hey everyone! Well I started this challenge yesterday,so once I joined I did the 100 squats,i will do them soon today,for me its easier to do them all at once with short breaks because then I won't come back to them,lol.I also did the 30 day shred today,im on day 2,im also doing Insanity,was very hard for me..i was able to do only 30 mins before I stopped,but ima keep doing it til I get it done..Getting enough water down has been hard for me,so I will try to get better at that.My weight right now is at 193,so by xmas im wanting to be at the 170s.Even if its 179.9! So this challenge will be a big help! Hope yall are having a great day!
