    Hope everyone is doing well on thier 10 lb challenge. I lost another 1.8 lbs for a total of 4.8 so far. I am confident with my 3 lbs loss last week that I will achieve my 10 lb goal. I have been really working on eating whole foods and avoiding all processed stuff. works most of the time although I have had a couple slips here and there. So far so good, though. 23 lbs gone since January. Just hoping I can stay focused and actually reach and maintain a healthy weight this time. Good luck to you all!

    Good job on the weight loss!! Question: What is Chalean Extreme? I don't think I ever heard of it before?

    It's a workout program from Beachbody. It's for 90 days and you're supposed to be able to melt some serious fat with it! Here's the link to it if you want to know more:

    So far it seems to be pretty serious with the weights! I don't think it incorporates enough cardio though.. I'll be adding that in myself.

    Thank you Blondie925...I will definitely need to go check that out. I don't do a lot of weight training, so this will help me out. LOVE ME SOME CARDIO!!
    This week is not going to be so great for me. I have a major cold and can't breath :ohwell: , which means it's really hard to work out right now...as long as I don't gain anything this week, I'll be happy.

    Have a great week everyone!!! :happy:

Soooooooo Glad to see that everyone is doing so great, hey if you fall off the barrel, just get up, dust yourself off and get right back on it. I have a tendency to once a week, I will eat whatever I want. no matter what it is, just to kind of trick your metabolism......it seems to work for me...........This morning I weighed myself, and I was thrilled to see that I was UNDER the 200 mark.....I haven't been under 200lbs in over 3 years............YEAH!!!! Have a glorious day everyone and get that weight OFF!! :flowerforyou: Oh and lets not forget.......Happy March and its not long til SPRING will be here!!

    since deciding to do this challenge I have added to my exercise plan, the 200 sit-up challenge, the 100 push-ups, and the 200 squats. I hope that will help me lose more weight. I completed my 5k training program and started my 10 K yesterday. Here's hoping for good results come Friday for my weigh in.

    I upped my exercise too. I'm still doing cardio, but I'm trying to add in some of my workout DVDs (I did L1D1 of the Shred last night). I'm just really hoping that it doesn't have the OPPOSITE effect short-term.

    Great job to all of you!!! I have 8 more pounds to go to get off by the end of March..............I know I can, I know I can.........I haven't increased anything but I continue to do Zumba and weight training........and I have noticed a difference at the gym. The first day I worked with a trainer, and did elevated leg extensions..........I was only able to do 8 reps, out of 15.......haha, I can now do the full 20 reps, then 15 reps.......with a slightly higher weight...........it felt sooooooooooo good to be able to do it!! Keep up the good job all of you!!!
