    I am ready for it to get a little warmer here so I can start hiking! I love doing that and I am sure it is great exercise. Anything to help me get in the mood. I gotta get my butt back on my treadmill and elliptical machine. I tried on a smaller pair of pants last night and they fit! Just one pair but it's one more pair that I can wear now. Yay!! But I have tons more in a smaller size that I am aiming for! Anyway now to figure out how to get rid of that muffin top! It just hangs there and won't dissolve. Any good suggestions?? I hope everyone does great here! Good luck to us all!

    GO SUMMER CHALLENGE!!!

    I am doing great with the water...thus far. :happy: Trying new foods. This might be a shocker to most people but I have just tried kiwi for the first time! I love it and so does my 7 year old. I'm trying to open myself up to more fruits and vegetables.

    Hope everyone else is doing well! Keep on challenging yourself!!

    Hello everyone, glad to see everyone is doing so will with their challenges, however this weekend wasn't great start for me. Friday I was just off the charts with my calories and yesturday wasn't that much better, BUT I managed to drink all my water. In regards to exercise, does cleaning the house count??? Tonight, I disovered a website for quick workouts I did the 6 abs routine in 10 minutes. The link is below..

    Keep up with all your good work....see you on Thursday for our first weigh in.:happy:

    HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!

    how is everyone doing?

    so i am doing well with the water challenge, manage to get in my 2 litres every day, want to keep this up, trying really hard

    i tried something called 'hazlett' on Sunday, but not sure how healthy it is, its a type of sausage meat that kind of has a taste like stuffing, hubby loved it, i wasnt too keen, but at least i tried it!

    i am still doing my elliptical this week, am so boring with my exercise, tho i went bowling on Sunday, and today did some aerobics from the website in the message above this one, forgot the name of the link, thanks for sharing! lol :flowerforyou:

    anyone else out there this week, where are you all gone! lol :drinker: :heart:

    After a disastrous Friday and Saturday I started fresh on Sunday (and joined this group :tongue: )

    ... today i stayed within my calories and did an hour work-out. I got a new dvd from woman's health..its called "wedding workout" (a mix of strength training and cardio)...i'm not getting married but I figure looking good in a white dress and looking good in a white bikini are similar enough :happy:

    The dvd only runs 40 minutes so i did 20 extra cardio minutes on my wii fit.

    Tomorrow I'm gonna buy a heart rate monitor..i'm worried I over estimate calories burned (wishful thinking...)..so I want to get one to accurately measure calories burned.

    excited to work out tomorrow to see how much I'm really burning :smile:

    Hey everyone! So I have been doing great with the water... so I am trying the new exercise and food challenge. I am normally a cardio person so I am doing more strength training and definitely more situps. I went grocery shopping last week and found a lot of new healthy snacks to try.

    So i'm proud of the way this week is going and I look forward to Thursdays weigh-in.
