    i will TRY!!! Do I need to do anything besides reply? I am not sure about how everything works in this program. Please let me know.

    I weigh on Thursday's and trying to stay 1000 cal a day. Walk 3 miles 7 days a week. And plan on starting doing a Wii workout 3 times a week (haven't started that yet - suppose to start today (Wednesday - Sept. 19).

    Once again please let me know what else I am suppose to do in keeping up with your game plan. I am going to send you a friend request with this posting.

    Thanks and hope to see big changes in everybody !!!!

    Hi Nancy
    basically you have to check in here EVERYDAY to say how well or not your doing. the rules are right at the top if you need any help. Pick a day to weigh yourself, lets know your starting weight and every 7 days post your new weight or inches, whichever suits you. i'm doing 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength training but you do what you can and follow the rules as it works for your lifestyle. Try and eat CLEAN foods. so nothing processed or with sugar. so no sugary drinks or snacks. have one to two portions of fruit a day and fill up on veggies and good healthy carbs!
    hope i've answered your questions.
    send me a message or write on here if you need more help and will answer soon as i can!

    Yes, not eating sugar will be hard for me too :-/ I'd like to know if I should be doing something else too.
    hiya!!! Not sure what you mean about doing something else. I would have some clean carbs though as it helps the transition from sugar to no sugar. good carbs like sweet potatoes, plantain etc. (no white potatoes.... those are lethal) and good fats like coconut oil, nuts etc will help make the sugar cravings easier to handle. cutting out all carbs completely might be a bit too hardcore and unsustainable.
    feel free to send me messages if you're unclear about the rules.
    for exercise aim to do 4-6days a week. at least 2 days of weight training!
    good luck you guys!!
    and thanks for joining in!!!

    did a 30 mins body rock yesterday and sunday i had about 45 mins of tonique(alot of squats and lunges) so today was my rest day exercise wise!!
    diet going really well touch wood(this is where i struggle the most so a bit happy but still very cautious)

    Ok, so I have failed the first couple days, but yesterday and today I am back on track. Did my c25k week 2 program yesterday, and tonight plan on weight lifting and maybe 30 minutes light cardio on my bike. Tomorrow is weigh in. The weekends are the hardest for me to not give in to temptation.

    I'm happy, happy, happy.......I'm only .6 lbs away from losing 10 lbs. I know it sounds like such a small number, but its a great accomplishment for me. It's the jump start that I needed to keep me motivated. I cant wait to see my progress at the end of this 30 day challenge.....wish me luck!!!

    Have you tried bodyrock.tv? their workouts are only 12 mins long and very intense and effective. also fitness blender is another good exercise site. with foods, you can google healthy CLEAN recipes and find some. there are tonnes. if you're struggling a bit, pm me and i can send you some ideas!

    Today was girl day out of the office. We went to Olive Garden....I checked the website to see what fit my calorie intake. Minestrone Soup (1 bowl) and Salad dry the first time around and with dressing the second time around ugh! I left feeling more hungry than I would if I had had my meal replacement with almond silk milk after a mid-afternoon workout! I can't stand it, so I did a workout when I got home. AHHHHHHH! Have a great weekend everyone! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
