Hey everyone! So I've heard a lot about the 30 Day Push challenge. It is something that I have decided to do this month, personally! Starting today (5/1). If anyone else is interested, the guidelines are as follows:
From 5/1-5/30, those participating:
-Push to eat a healthy and balanced diet... This includes PLENTY of water and of course protein!!!! And limit that sugar!!!!!
-Push yourself to workout HARD, and to do better with those workouts every day!
-STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!!! Weigh in once on 5/1 and log, and then weigh in again on 5/30 after the challenge is complete.
-Take DAILY pictures of your progress. These can be shared, or they can be kept to yourself.
So....

I would love to join but It will be hard not to check the scale but this will be a great push to NOT check the scale because I need to get out of that habit.. So I will give that part a try but as for the rest of the challenge I know I can do it.. NEED to lose 10 lbs this month and I reach my first goal.. Then another 5 will be at my ULTIMATE goal but for now reaching my main goal ..10lbs has to go. WHOOT WHOOT..0

I'm in! I start my vacation May 24th as well, so I'll weigh before and after just to get an idea of how bad I did while away. I don't have a problem not weighing lol I just hate breaking it to myself everytime. Good luck!!0

I'll give it a try!! Staying off the scale will prob be the hardest LOL! I am constantly stepping on it.
I know horrible! But IM IN!0 -
I am in! Kinda screwed up with the healthy eating thing already today (yes, by 9:42 a.m. What can I say? Boo to cravings!). But rest of the day is still ahead of me, so here goes! :-}0

I have problems with checking the scale too, sometimes. I weighed in today at 190.... then I hid my scale in the back of one of my cupboards and am going to try my hardest to not weigh myself (I have been weighing myself twice a day for the past MONTH! So this will be a tough one!). WE CAN ALL DO THIS! 0 -
Should we have a daily check in?
SURE! Maybe we should log our calories burned / any calisthenics time, and log your likes and dislikes about your diet for the day. 0 -

Haha that's in a day.
I have a tendency to have an extreme amount of energy when I get to the gym. I feel the only way I can truly wipe myself out is with extreme weight lifting or of course, running.. but the elliptical, uphill walking, etc makes me sweat but only gives me MORE energy. Crazy, huh? I felt I could have done more today, honestly... but I go to school and work full time, so that's not really the option. There is also the deal that I am really trying to push myself with this 30 Day Push... I designed a program for myself (Monday through Saturday exercise plans 2-4 hours long) to do throughout the month. Hopefully I can do it all! 0 -

Hi! I'm so going to join you guys. Yesterday i was around 237, but since i've already eaten today i will weigh myself tomorrow.
Are there any good tips for taking measurements? I've been here 3 months and I still don't know how to do it right.0 -
I guess I don't get it. This is what I do everyday.0

Hey! & Welcome!
To answer your measurements question...
Bust: Don't squish yourself -- measure all the way around your bust and back right at your nipple line, and make sure the tape measure is not lower.
Chest: Measure under your breasts but as high up as you can go, keeping the tape measure parallel to this line when you reach it around your back.
Waist: Measure wherever it is the smallest (if you have "no waist" go around yourself right at the navel line).
Hips: Measure at the very biggest part -- even if that is so low that you are almost on the top of your thighs.
Thighs: Measure wherever they are the biggest.
Knees: Measure right above the knee.
Calves: Measure wherever they are the biggest.
Upper arm: Measure wherever they are biggest above your elbows.
Forearms: Measure wherever they are biggest below your elbows.0 -

good for you!
i always feel that I can do a little more, but stop because of time etc. or not wanting to try new routines. sooooo........ here I am 0 -

Makes sense then. I think if I pushed any harder I'd have a heart attack.0
