OK I am in!!! I would like to lose 8lbs this month also and I would like to get 3 Curves workout in everyweek. Another mini goal I would like to do this month is to start walking the dogs. We live out in the country and the last time I went walking a kid try to run me down in this car and I was 7 months pregnant, so I haven't walked since:( The dogs just run in the field, so I would like to start walking without getting run over by these people who think it is ok to drive 100 mph down country roads! Good luck to you:)0

Down to 37.5 miles to go!! Csouto, glad to see you joined me on this quest!! I too live in the country, but we are on a dead end road with family land so no one comes out here...lol! I have just been walking the treadmill which is level and we are a bit hilly out here and I'm not sure I am ready for that yet...LOL!! :laugh: I am really ready for summer because we put a pool in last year and I am ready to swim some laps, play water basketball, throw football and do a little water aerobics. Good luck with your eight pound loss. How many pounds are you trying to lose total???? I am shooting for 134 pounds gone and I've lost 19 so far SO i have 115 more to go... I will get there!! I am definitely having to make these as lifechanges, not just a diet. Have a great week. My weigh in day is Thursday...so I will post again then with my weight loss and I'll be posting my miles down everyday. I am walking daily, usually at 5:00 a.m.0

Ok...here we go....I am shooting for 10 pounds this month and plan to walk at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. Because we live in a subdivision walking is nice....permitting the weather is nice
otherwise we are members at the rec center and I will go there. My total weight loss goal is 127 pounds.....wow can't believe I just admitted that! Good luck to all!! 0 -
Yeah I'm glad you joined us MelWilson!! Good luck with a big 10 pound goal!! I tried that last month and fell shy so I decided to lower it, but up the exercise! I am loving my treadmill and I've been walking my tail off everyday for about 10 days. I've even increased my speed and today I even RAN *(just a little!!). I'm sure that would've been a sight for sore eyes if anybody had seen it...LOL:blushing: I look forward to motivating each other this month!! 0

Hello All!
I am so excited for this challenge!
My goals this month are the following:
Drink at least 100 oz of water a day
Go to at least 1 Zumba Class a week
Walk at least 30 minutes a day
and puchase a bicyle so that I can start riding my bike to work in April
I didn't put a weight loss goal. However I would like to drop 10 lbs in March. Last week I dropped 4 lbs (a record for me), however I had changed my goals, lifestyle and my calorie intake changed on MFP. I think that this is what triggered the big swing.
So far, I have kept up the 100 oz H2O a day, walked my pooches for at least 1/2 hour everyday AND made it to 1 Zumba Class. I am also hoping to finish the 30DS.
Good Luck everyone!0 -
Ok, Here goes......
Goals
1. Lose 5 pounds this month. I have slowed down on loss lately so I feel I need to set something reasonable.
2. Get back to doing at least 15 minutes of activity 3 times a week. I have used my childrens' activity schedule as an excuse.
3. Log in on weekends! This is difficult during wrestling season. I do not have internet on my phone and we put in long days at meets, but I need to do it.0 -
I am in!!
Goals:
1. Lose 8 pounds this month. 2 pounds a week
2. Complete my workout scheduled using the 10 minute trainer from beach body. (I have been doing this since March 1st, it is tough)
3. Begin walking at least 3 times per week. (I haven't started yet.)
4. Continue to give up Diet Coke. (I usually drink about 6 per day but I have been diet coke free for one week.)
Current Weight - 214
Goal weight for this challenge: 206
Summer Goal weight: 189 (25 pounds before June 1st)
Good luck everybody!!!0 -
Oh I just saw this and was so hoping wed have another, I didnt quite make 10 pounds last month but 5 or 6 was ok I guess but so much of that was I fell off halfway through the month.
This month I would like to get down to 140.00 which is about 6 pounds, Im up now on my time of the month so probably close to 5 pounds.
Im horrible for excercise but I will try to do the following
I will try to walk/run 26 loops around my neighborhood, which is about a mile and I say 26 so one for every day of the month left
I will try to do 260 minutes of abs work (10 minutes a day)
I will try to do 780 minutes of felxibility/yoga work, 30 minutes a day
Also I am try the super hydration concept so for the next week I am trying to hard to drink a gallon of water or diet tea in addition to any coffee or stuff.
Im a bit anti on pills but I have a 2 week boot camp set that I was given to try and review and its just so many pills that idk, I will post about that later, I am thinking of trying it, its like 6 pills a day though and I dislike pills.
I also post much more frequently than weekly and I think a big part of last months failure was after 2 years with my scale the battery finally died so I couldnt weigh myself like normal.0 -
Yes, I will...
Goals: Lose 8lbs in March ( Did really good in Feb. lost my 10 but I think it was beginner's luck. So Im gonna chicken down to 8, playing it safe :blushing:
Walk 30 mins. every day (weather permitting)
Exercise 1 hr. every day
Keeping up with my 8 cups of water every day
Current Weight - 265
Challenge Goal Weight - 257
GOOD LUCK ALL !!! 0 -

I already feel more focused, I mentioned on the last challenge how I liked the shorter time than the 3-4 month challenge I had finished (lost 15 of the 30 I set out to, got bored with it), I have done well today with food, did 20/30 of my yoga, did my 10 for abs, am leaving in like 5 minutes for my dog walk and pick up my son and then its just left to do 10 more min yoga and watch what I eat but seeing as I had a protien cookie for lunch Id have to f up pretty bad for today to be bad.
My main concern with this challenge instead of having just a weight goal that if I fall off o n my others Ill giveu p entirely, which is why I said a total amount instad of doing something every day, so if I dont walk today all I have to do is walk two tomorrow to be on track.0 -
I know how you feel about using your kids activities as an excuse... I did that last summer and I refuse to do that again this year!! I have 2 boys who play baseball with one being a travel league. I am going to make sure this year I don't just sit in my chair for hours and watch! I will walk around the fence while still watching the game! I am also going to have to pack my own snacks and look up nutritional values at fast food places like steak and shake and chick fil-a because we seemed to frequent those last season!
I have also started getting up at 5:00 to walk so at least I have my exercise in early! I want to continue that habit into the summer and during baseball season! Good luck in your endeavors!!0 -
I dont understand the using kids as an exscuse? I dont mean to sound mean or anything but I just got in from a walk with my son and dog and we play a game, he picks if we walk run or jump?
I dont get how kids would lead to less activity?0 -
@tkhhwatkins I would like to lose a total of 120lbs all together. I am down 26 lbs since January 4th so I am off to a great start! I have 2 boys 6 and 7 and they keep me very busy unfortantly I love to eat. I have always played sports and have been very active all my life but I have always been a big girl too. I looked my best and felt my best at 165 so that is where I want to be again. I know it is a lot higher than what most people would like to weigh but I am very musclur(my body fat is at 42% and most people that weight 280 are over 50%) I want to be that mom that my boys have to keep up with not me keeping up with them:) I do walk when they are at practice for baseball, soccer, wrestling and now football but I do go home and eat lots of vegs and 3times more carbs then needed:( I will do this and love all the support I am getting from this page. Thanks 0

@lookpretty... That's all it is ... an excuse!! We are going to work on NOTdoing that anymore!! Unfortunately in the past, I would take my kids to their ballgames or practices and park my tushy on the bleachers or on my big comfy chair, instead of moving myself too! To be honest, at my highest weight I was 274...it's hard to do much, even walking outside when you are that size! I would get out of breath and have shin splints,so I just did a lot of sitting. I feel I've been very lazy and sedentary! I am working hard to make those positive changes so I can be more active with my boys. This week alone I have played "Horse" basketball with them 3 days in a row and that is just with losing 21 pounds. I look forward to the day I am back down towards the 140's so I can play and be active with them. I'm getting there one day at a time and one pound at a time, and it IS time for no more excuses to be lazy!! I love my 3 boys and I want to be a better role model for them!! 0

Goals for March:
Lose7 pounds
Keep exercise routine to at least 5 hours of cardio a week0 -
Soooo happy today, these challenges always get me back on track, and given my age there is no exscuse for being overweight since it has the potential to come off so easily. But I am back down to 145.6 from 148 yesterday. I doubt I will make the whole month I just dont have that sort of attention span, but I am trying0

I am super excited! This morning I tried on a pair of pants that are 3 sizes less than the pants I was wearing in December and they fit. I am actually wearing them right now! It's the little things in life! :bigsmile:0

Ok, I actualy walked a mile yesterday.

WHAT A NIGHT....Antone Davis, last years biggest loser finalist, came to town and did a biggest loser style workout with anyone wishing to join him....I went and boy were my eyes opened to just how bad off I am....It was a very humiliating workout and I'm so glad that I went. I have no idea what to call this workout to log it into my exercise :laugh: I am more determined than ever to shed all these pounds and get in shape.0
