Hi Everyone!
Welcome back to another weekly challenge!! We are continuing on a conservative pace to account for new members so everyone should be able to get on board.
We have a leader board!!!
Alana :flowerforyou:
Deanna
Completed last week with flying colors! Good job! Alana also earned the flower for trying something new!
Don't forget to report your progress to be included in the leader board either on this board or private message me.
Let's get things moving!
This week's goal:
160 minutes of cardio
5 days in the green (staying under in calories)
8 cups of water 5 days
2 servings of fruits and vegetables 5 days
For a bonus ** Try an exercise you've never done before or haven't done recently for one of your workouts. For example if you are a walker try a stationary bike or a Zumba class. If you love Zumba try a kickboxing or elliptical. Anything you'd like!
If you are new jump right in! We report our results on this strain every Sunday night to be included on the leader board for the following week.
Welcome to the newbies take a minute to introduce yourself to each other.
My name is Melissa and I look forward to meeting you all! We can do this!!

Hi again, I do hatha yoga in a class at the YMCA. It was intimidating at first, since all but a handful of people are super trim/healthy looking. I have to adapt some of the poses, and some I just can not do at all. The instructor is awesome, and helps me find things I can do. I have arthritis in my spine, a skin disorder where my hands and feet, crack and are very painful, and a hip that is beginning to dislocate. Plus, I started when I weighed 320 lbs, and I always leave class feeling so alive, open, and hopeful. I love yoga
and I want to be just like the 70 year olds in my class, who are so flexible and serene looking. :flowerforyou: PS: was able to clasp my hands behind my back for the first time on weds. Remember yoga is a personal practice and each person has their own limitations If you're thinking about it give it a try 0 -
