I think we should check in here to just say how the process is going, how we're getting on with our challenges, workouts, if we're having a bad day, etc. What do you think?

Hello! Didn't make it to the gym today, since my oldest son came down with puking crud last night. But, he should be able to go to school tomorrow, so back at it! Ate pretty well today. Currently looking at the jamie eason live fit trainer on bodybuilding.com.0

Feeling strong today! I braved the snow (we got about 8 inches of it last night) and made it to the gym today and really pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I'm exhausted now, but I'm proud of myself. I was thinking about bagging the gym idea and doing a video at home, but I knew I wouldn't work as hard if I did that.
The diet is going well too. I'm very happy with how things are going so far.
Onward!0 -
@klem - I heard great things about the Jamie Eason program. I might try it one of these days.
No snow or cold for me, it's hot here in Jamaica, as usual.
As for me, went to the gym and got a workout in. My eating wasn't bad either except that I was way below my calorie and protein goal, and didn't drink enough water, hope to do much better tomorrow. But I've been doing well with the "no sweet" challenge. Didn't even have juice today. And my sugar intake was the lowest it's been in a while.0 -
Today was awful! I was blessed with a sinus infection - just as this starts and i want to start the C25K. On a positive note, that means I was still under my calorie goal. I'm hoping it vanishes soon! I was unable to stick to the week 1 challenge.....it's next to impossible for me. Hope everyone else is having a good start of the week!0

Feeling strong and motivated so far this week! I stayed under my calories by almost 300! I drank 6 cups of water, so close to 8! So far no sweets, let's hope I can go all week. I'm pretty sure I can do it tho. I got confidence in myself!! I wasn't able to work out today, though. My dad got discharged from the hospital today, so I had to help around with things. Hopefully, I can do it tomorrow, depending on how my day goes. Tomorrow will be a good day, I can feel it. (:0

@changingforth im in n. Texas and yes, it was cold this morning! tomorrow they're calling for storms, hail, tornadoes and floods. Lol....March in January!
worked all day, paid bills and went to Wal-Mart (why do I torture myself like that?). after cooking dinner and cleaning up I didn't feel like working out but I did it anyway..day 5 of 30DS! totally went over on sodium, but I drank 16 glasses of water so I'm hoping it dilutes it!0 -
I've been a little bummed today (got a new scale and it weighs me higher than my old one - my progress on my MFP tracker all faded magically away <sigh>), but tomorrow is a new day. Not a sprint but a marathon, right?0
-
I believe I did great today. Got hungry this evening so I had a small banana and 10 almonds. I actually feel great. :happy:0
-
Monday was a good day - went well until the portion of apple and rhubarb crumble sent me over my limit - sigh! However, I'm feeling motivated and on track and have lost 1.8lbs since the start of the year so I'm feeling good! Got to maintain progress through the week.
Happy Tuesday everyone!0 -
Today went well. I'm just a little under my calorie goal, right at my protein goal (yea!) and just a little over my carbs goal (double yea). I had peanut butter and honey today which brought me past my sugar goal
. Went to the gym and did my workout, now I'm about to do my meal planning for tomorrow. Overall, I'd call today a win. 0 -
I'm feeling really motivated this week....hopefully I can get this "halt" of weight loss in gear. Today I walked 1.5 miles and then did a cardio workout I rented on TV.... feeling good.0
-
I am down 0.2 pounds this week, I need to see if this is a pattern of slow weight loss or I am just going to "whooosh" next week.0

Great idea!
I had such an amazing morning today with both a victory on the scale & off of it! I lost 2 pounds, making my total (since I started) 38.5 pounds lost! The cherry on the cake though was when I tried on a pair of jeans my mom gave me quite a while ago. I could barely fit them up my legs, let alone my waist... and this morning when I tried them on, they fit WITH extra room. I was shocked and ecstatic! I'm officially down four (maybe more?) pants sizes since I started. Such an amazing feeling. 0 -
Hiya guys, feeling so motivated but listening to my body. Kinda working out hard in the gym and body said this morning "please rest me" So i'm going to listen till about 4.00pm if it will let me I'm going to do a workout.0

I've been doing pretty good this week. Nailing all my scheduled workouts so far and staying within my calorie limit. I'm just a little tired from lack of sleep. Need to cut some things out of my schedule in the evening so I can get more rest at night. I also need to go grocery shopping... Hard to make good choices when I don't have the good stuff around!0

Well. .wait! We're measuring progress.. just figure out the difference in the two scales and up your starting weight by that amount!0 -

Word of advice. Eat BEFORE you go to the grocery! lol.. .0 -

Good Morning everyone, So far this week I have been doing well I have excerise everyday and I am slowly getting my water intake up I am trying to get in 100 oz a day and right now I am around 60 oz a day hope by next week I am drinking 100 oz a day. I think it helped my to make a plan for what to cook for dinner each night and for the most part I have stuck with it only changed last night sincemy daughter had ringette practice and I had to feed her and her brother early. Luckily I had some homemade spagetti sauce at home so we still had a nutrious meal.0

I did good yesterday. . I came home from work and got all screwed up on my timing and showed up an hour early to pick up my kid from gymnastics and it's a 20 minutes drive to my house and so I missed my chance to workout. . right? Well. I sucked it up and drove home, put on my workout clothes, then drove BACK to the his gym and picked him up and went to MY gym (with only a half-hour before the kidz-club closed). . But hey. .I got in a good 30 minutes of lifting (but no time for cardio ). .
Still. . I even did abs! I HATE abs!. .0 -
I'm doig good so far this week. I've been getting over 10,000 steps a day and doig an average of 7 minutes of ab workout. I would e doing 10 minutes but something always happens when I'm trying to do it. Drinking a ton more water than I usually do.0

I have had a bit of a rough start. Came down with strep throat then had to have scopes done.:sick: Due to being sick my calorie intake has been very low dragging down my energy levels. I am back feeling better though and has soon as the energy comes back up I will be back at it! Best of luck to all of you!! :bigsmile:0
-
Doing alright myself. I haven't been able to exercise for three days for some reason or another. But I'm finally good for tonight!0
-

Hi All!
I have been doing OK but not GREAT! I started 30 day shred Saturday and did it 3 days in a row, but both my kids got sick on Monday so all my attention has been on them. Today I feel like I am cathcing their flu, but I still hope I can workout, although I am so so soooooo WEAK! Maybe I will just walk the dog!0 -
Doing well overall with food and exercise, but I am failing on the sweets
But even though I have had some, it is still way less than before. So I a, happy about that, but still annoyed with myself.0 -
I am failing in general this week, got to turn it around and get back in gear....going to walk the dogs to the vet tonight to get myself moving....will be forcing myself out of bed in the morning to get back into my daily runs, up till today was at least going every other day (which is slacking for me) and then I missed this morning.....2 days off in a row :sad: not good for me.
I will get back in gear and step it up....I can not allow myself to waste all the progress that I have made in the last 6 months!0 -
Hello,
Things are going very well. Had been frustrated as I was sick for the past week and the exercise trick was very limited. Today is the first day back full strength. Wooohooooo! Hope everyone is doing well.....
