Alright ladies! Let's get this challenge started!

First off, please introduce yourselves.

FemmeRides - Hi! My name is Tabitha and I'm a stay at home mom with two lovely kids. My daughter is 3 and my son is 1 1/2. They keep me busy! My highest weight was in February of 2007 when I peaked at 252.8lbs. I got down to 180.8lbs in June 2007 and then got pregnant in October 2007 with my daughter. I gained every ounce back. :laugh: Then I got back to 185lbs in June of 2009 on my daughter's first birthday, only to find out I was 4 weeks pregnant. :laugh: :sad: Fast forward to March 2010, I am back up to 240lbs and my son is already a few weeks old. I think I got down to 230lbs but stayed there for quite some time. This past May, I finally decided I needed to get my *kitten* back in gear. So May 1st, I weighed in at 220.8lbs and a 40.5inch waist. As of today, I am 182.1lbs and have a 33 inch waist. YAY! I still have about 20lbs to lose so that's what you guys are for! HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT!!! :flowerforyou:

Good luck ladies! Can't wait to meet you all!

kirstyfromscotland

femmerides

nice job! that's what i'm talking about! now, give us some of your details. why did you choose this challenge?

femmerides

alright ladies. here is our challenge for the day.

1. Drink 100 ounces of water a day, everyday
2. Wednesdays physical challenge: 75 jumping jacks, 40 sit-ups, 30 squats, and 10 push-ups .

Let's keep each other motivated!

My plan for today is to do both 1 and 2 and then i'm also going to do an hour of Turbo Kick. I'm going to start my day with some yummy oatmeal to fuel my body.

What are your plans for the day?

Hi my name is Kirsty, i live in North East Scotland and live on my own...well apart from the cat 'Figaro' ! i love living by myself as i can do as i please, which is usually only work and working out! I am a zumba adict and started about 6 months ago and i now go 3 times a week, i would go more if i could afford all the classes, i recently started power walking 3.5 miles home from work at 5 mph everyday and i have seen and felt a big difference in my muscles :bigsmile: . I joined this group because i love exersize, i have suffered with mild depression :sad: in the past and it very occassionally flares up and gets me down but since working out so much i have noticed a big difference, i get such a buzz :happy: from working out. My starting weight when i joined here was 157 lbs and i am now 126, its taken a lot of willpower somedays as i love my food :blushing: but now i only have the odd bad day. I am on another challenge too and my goal is to b 120 lbs for xmas, i am on track but on hols the end of nxt week so have to b carefull not to b 2 bad! :bigsmile:

kirstyfromscotland

Tomorrow's exercise is in! Here is what I was sent for tomorrow's challenge.

"I am totally using the upper body workout from a challenge I did in September so if you have done Gary's challenges before these should be nothing new. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE VIDEOS THAT GO WITH EACH EXERCISE! Even if you think you know what the exercise it I want to make sure everyone is doing the same thing.

2 Sets of 15 swimmers press, 2 sets of 15 wood chops, 2 sets of 21's and 2 sets of 15 tricep kickbacks

Video:
