    April 2012 will be 1 year since I am back on MFP. I would love to challenge myself to get the best loss I can by then.

    Lol I know right! Well today was supossed to be my rest day but of course I still worked out. I started a 6 week workout thing on my Wii so right now Im doing my 30Day Shred then doing my Wii workout right after and it's a little over an hour doing both right now. The further I get in my 6 week challenge the longer my workouts get. I was gonna try and start hitting the gym again too but not to sure yet how my schedule is gonnas work out.

    Great Job working out by the way! Keep up the good work!!!

    It seems do indeed, but it doesn't really matter...lol

    Did my 3 miles walk this am and 30 minutes jogging for a total of 78 minutes. Did my "wall push-ups" too...lol. Never got to do the jogging last evening. Dont know who I was fooling seeing that evening exercises are not my thing at all. I would really be forcing it.

    wow what a week... and it just wont end!! lol planned on going to the gym for a mega workout today since it's the one day i get off this week with no running around left to do but then the phone rang and had to go get a sick little boy from school so no gym for me today :( I'm so sad! but I guess that's why I have resistance bands and dumbells and dvds right?? oh well. won't be as long of workout as i wished but will be some. I just get so distracted being at home with all the animals making noise all day and MFP right at my fingertips since I cant get it on my phone but I'm off! gotta do something....oh, eat breakfast first! I have found new oatmeal at walmart called Oat Revolution and OatFit . they are little packs of oatmeal with flax seed 5 packs for $1!! and they're tasty!

    I don't have any special dates or occasions in April, however, I have a goal to lose at least four pounds a month, so by april, I would like to be 24 pounds lighter.

    Starting Weight: 232.8
    April Goal Weight: 202.8....real close to Onederland! Real close!

    Hey everyone! Well I had a bad lunch today but I made it up by workingout a lil harder this evening.... Well Im glad to see more ppl here! I'm hoping that these couple slip up's I had dont mess with my weigh in Friday! :devil: With only a .2 loss last week Im just hoping I lose at least a pound this week. I've been kicking my *kitten* and the first couple weeks here I was losinf 3-4 even 5lbs a week now my body is changing so I am trying to zig zag my calories and switching up my workouts. Im now doing the 30 Day Shred and a 6 week plan, and a walking plan that is 6 weeks long......So Im hoping by the end of Nov I lost another 5-7lbs....Wishful thinking I guess :laugh:

    So sorry! I flaked this challenge, but I'm back. I will be adding 24 "girly" pushups to my daily activities. I'm thinking 4 sets of 6, alternating with sets of leg lifts and bicycle kicks. I really need to get back in the habit of doing this daily, so perfect. I'll be sure to hop back on a update daily too. As far as cardio goes, I already do 60 minutes 3x a week, but this is good incentive to not skip out on my weekend gym trip :)
    Current Check-ins are (from Saturday...after the Halloween candy binge last night I'm scared to weigh in again)
    Weight is 202
    Waist is 36", Hips are 44"

    I am pumped. This sounds like a great challenge. 60 minutes 3 times a week is a lot for me right now, I am pushing to do 30 minutes three times, but I can work toward that by the end of the month. Today I started SouthBeach diet and am pretty excited about it because I felt like I ate a lot, but I'm just barely over my calories. Woot!

    Are we weighing in? Is anyone keeping tabs on that? I can't remember what was said in the original post.

    My birthday is in May and I would love to be at my goal weight by then. =) Unless it is too late to join?
    Is there something we have to do daily? or just lose weight?

    Hey, I'd like to jump on board with you guys too. I finish nursing school in April (convocation isn't until June) and would love to be healthier by then! :) I have 76lbs to lose until I'm at my goal weight although I might reevaluate that later down the road. I'm not sure what would be reasonable to lose by April? 40lbs?

    This morning my body felt like it was dragging. Still managed to put in 65 minutes cardio though and did some push-ups. Hopefully tomorrow will be much better.

    Good to see more persons have arrived. It was getting a bit lonely over here...lol.

    I did my pushups/leg lifts/bicycle legs today :)
    Upped my goal to 30 girly pushups, since I could do it. I will probably be adding more to that as I get further along, maybe even a real pushup! Hehe.

    I've had 2.5 L of water today and went swimming for the first time in years it was awesome.
    I now have a friend calling me in the morning so I can get weights done in the morning and cardio in at night.
    I'm hoping to do 30DS in the mornings, my trainers program in the afternoon 4x a week and then cardio at night 5x a week. I just want this weight off now. So tired of it.

    Maybe I should do this...I don't have much to lose but it's coming off VERY VERY slowly so maybe a date farther away might help...and my 20th birthday is April 28th. :D

    For exercise this month my plan is each week to do:
    - Insanity 3x (2 full length, 1 20 minute)
    - Jillian 2x (something with weights, mostly likely 30ds or ri30)
    - Yoga 2x
    - Abs 2x

    Wow. You guys are killin' it on the workouts. I must confess I have only hit the elliptical that one time and haven't made time for it since. But, I'm doing okay on the SouthBeach thing. It's really hard to think of something to have for breakfast when you can't eat carbs and you don't like eggs. I'll get the hang of it soon though. And, I promise to workout today, mainly because you all are showing me up so badly! :) Keep up the good work, it's inspiring.

    Did a 4 mile walk and 20 minutes jogging for a total of 76 minutes today. Haven't done any push-ups or squats yet but I am hoping the bug to do it will bite me sometime today. Keep going guys. I am not seeing any loss when I peak at the scale (in fact it keeps going up) but I am still keeping my motivation up because I know it will show on the scale one of these days. My body is crazy that way.

    Ugh i am having the same problem! My scale loves to go up but not down! I swear if I get on that thing tomorrow and it says i gained weight again I will have a fit and throw it out the window :laugh: Everyone keeps telling me that I look good and I must be losing fat and gaining muscle but how do I just lose fat? I like to gain muscle but not when the scale is showing Im gaining. I'd rather have a no loss then a gain...Weigh in in the morning and Im seriously terrified :sad:
