Each week, I'll create a new check-in for everyone to write down where they are. We can discuss progress, what we've done, what we're doing to get there. It will be a great way to motivate one another, congratulate members, and maybe pick-up some tips along the way!
I did not stand on the scale or take my measurements today but please, for those of you who have or are ready to add your information, this is for you!

Name: Meredith
Age: 31
Height: 5'7"
Date: 04/30/2013
Chest (breasts): 34.5
Waist (belly button): 31.5
Hips: 40
Thigh (largest part): 22.5
Calf (Largest part): 16
Bicep: 10.5
Forearm: 9.5
Goals:
Short-term: To lose 6 lbs. by the end of the month/or shrink by 6 inches.
Long-term: To be 135 by summer and 130 by the end of summer. I would like to have a body fat % of 25 or lower.
I am doing a couple of different things for May. I am doing three 30 day challenges: abs, pushups and squats. Then trying to fit in two walks during the work day (about 1.5 miles a trip). I am also doing my daily workout whether it's cardio/HIT/strength/yoga. Plus of course watching what I eat and trying to stay within my calories each day. I DO eat back my workout calories.
My work is doing a physical activity tracker through June so that is helping with my motivation. I would love to see everyone's workout schedules and how they help them. I am constantly trying to get other ideas on how to stay active too. Good luck everyone!!0 -

As of 04-30-13 smoking: 7 cigs, 1 snus, no e-cig cartridge (blasted batteries have dissapeared on me. They are around here SOMEwhere!)
Goals for the summer:
Continue weight loss - not sure where that will put me, because it's slowing down some right now FINALLY
Stop smoking - at least fully transition to e-cigs and snus, will work down from there
Push the swim intensity up to 800 m in each stroke, prefer complete swim to be finished in an hour (currently at 1000 m breast stroke, 400 m butterfly, 200 m freestyle, 200 m back stroke OR 400 m each stroke finishing in 65 mins. Hopefully this won't push the burns up any higher!)0 -

I do not just want to lose weight, but also tone up and feel better overall. If I can improve my energy and sleeping patterns by July 1, 2013 that would be perfect!0 -

OK, so I weighed in and took measurements this morning. Oh my! 158.8 (5'2"). Chest 40, waist 33, hips 44, right below belly button (peri-menopause belly fat) 41, right thigh 23.75, right calf 14.75. It has been a long time since I have measured myself so it was a little bit of an eye opener but that is ok. Need to know from where I am starting so I can get to the finish line!
Good morning all and Happy May.0 -

I was about 255 and losing steadily when I got pregnant. Now 10 months post partum I am trying to get back down and keep going. My immediate goal is to lose 2 lbs a week until our vacation at the end of July which would put me at a 22 lb loss. I just joined a group who are not going to weigh in for the month of May. I work full-time so time is tight. Right now I jump on the Stairmaster for 30 minutes in the mornings MWF and walk for 20 minutes during my lunch M-F. On the weekends I try to stay active with my family through walking or hiking. I will also try to fit in another cardio session on the Stairmaster if time permits. I will start a calisthenics routine three days a week starting tomorrow and will do that TThSat. I also started a squat challenge with a FB group and will be doing that for the next 30 days.
Whew. Good luck everyone!0 -

Goals: 172 by the end of June when my parents come to visit. They have NO idea how well I have been doing with my weight loss. I would love to show them a huge difference. I was over 200lbs the last time they saw me.
I am also trying to tone up to. I have no idea how quickly i can lose inches because never really paid attention to it before so I will say I would like to lose 4 inches by the end of June as well.
I currently am doing JM 30DS and C25K On days I don't work I do both in one day and alternate one or the other on work days. I try and get in a few long walks when I have time. I also am starting a challenge with a friend today that combines the 30 day squat/plank/crunch challenge.
LET'S DO THIS!!!!!0 -
