  • So our starting weight that we posted Mon/Tues is still right, we are "weighing-in" by Sat night for week 1 results right?!
    we will be weighing in on Tuesdays

    OK, and do we private message our results to you? Sorry if I am asking the same questions that have already been answered elsewhere!

    My 30DS came in the mail yesterday, so I will be starting that this evening (assuming the teething monster will let me put him down - I'm not sure that I could do jumping jacks with him strapped to my chest). I love the challenges so far. I will add a 10 minute run at the end of my workout tonight.
    I love the enthusiam we have! We are all gonna kill it on Tuesday!!!

    I have enough pictures from Christmas celebrations that will remind me how bad it was. This was my son's first Christmas and I determined to have better pictures next year!

    I tried it for the first time yesterday.. its pretty good! It has an energy meter which gives you points so its fun to push yourself harder with it and it counts down and gives you breaks for water! :) I like it. I got "Zumba Pro" level last night... If you can try to rent it from a video store before purchasing it!! OR if you have an eb games try to get it used!

    I know its only Thursday, but are you guys ready for the weekend? Do you workout on the weekends? The weekends are very difficult for me, because my husband and the girls are home, so we end up eating something bad for us. I am going to do my best and continue what I am doing. I would love to exercise all 7 days, make Saturday and Sunday an activity the whole family can do. But I think the key is planning my weekend out, so there are no bumps in my road, especially with weigh ins being Tuesdays.

    I like this idea of planning the weekend out. It's always a free for all on the weekends. Chinese take-out is my downfall....

    Sorry about that... ^ didn't know how to do it...anyways... When I fall for the Chinese take out I order the happy family which is mixed vegetables.... It's way better than eating the lo mein or the fried rice!

    I usually do ok on the weekends i eat the same way I mean. I never eat out so I don't too much( I live too far from anything to eat out haha) So I tend to take the weekends off, but if I do really bad during the day I exercise to make up for it.

    Oh yeah that's how I work too. My wife an I share a plate of chicken & Broccoli with brown rice and steamed dumplings for a side. It usually does the trick. :)

    HI Black team....just checking in.....I am not really a regular poster...so I am going to try and do better with that....So I have stuck to my workouts and added 10 mins to my cardio....minus yesterday as it was just pilates.....I am also doing the water challenge and usually get in 9 glasses...which is three of my new pink water bottle my hubby got me for x-mas! I had an AWESOME run today...so over due. This weekend I am off for a girls weekend away...I will not be logging my calories...but luckily my girls are really healthy and fitness orientated so hopefully it won't be too bad....we are planning some ice skating, snow shoeing and hopefully a few long walks.....lots of hot tubing and gossip as well (why can't those burn calories). Anyways Happy Thursday to everyone :)

    Thanks for this challenge. I'm making an effort to add exercise even when I don't feel like it.
    I'm shooting for 7 days a week now, even if it's only 10-15 minutes of recumbent biking while my son plays a game or something.

    I haven't felt well or like myself the past few days... (I've been SO tired in the evening) but I've worked out! YAY!

    Thanks for the support Jomom! I wouldn't call it "running" maybe more of a brisk jog with a stroller in front of me but I'll do my best! Thanks for cheering me on! Anyone else have some good plans for the weekend?
