I'm doing great on my exercise goal and my goal of just drinking water/natural fruit juices. However - gotta get back on track with my eating. Haven't been eating any fast food but I've been snacking on unhealthy stuff. Gotta get back to my fish, chicken, lean meats and vegetables again. You can't out-exercise a bad diet, so I know my nutrition is super important. 64 days and I'm still in it!0

I'm still in!!! I've been doing pretty good with my 3things except I had a fruit and nut bar instead of cheesecake that was drooling over. We are doing great. Already 64days in, wow its flying by. Let's keep pushing and go hard till the end

Ah Man....I forgot to list how I was doing....
My 3 things to give up were: Sweet Tea, Eating after 730pm, and Alcohol beverages....
I have TOTALLY NOT HAD any Sweet Tea:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
The eating after 730p.m: Has been my biggest challenge....with doing P90x w/Van after work I feel a little hungry and drink a protein shake....last night was the first night I hadn't.....
Alcohol: I have had it 3x out of this challenge so far....most time celebration of something...last time was the WARRIOR's DASH...
I can so overall I am very proud...I am seeing results like no other!!! I know I can do this..0 -
Good morning beautiful ladies!
I am DEFINITELY still in it!!! I want results and THEY WILL NOT come if I don't work for them!!! I am committed to this challenge and EVEN more committed to meeting my goals before summer. With that said, my 3 things are 1) Workout 5 days per week--- I have been doing that---sometimes including doubles! 2) Eliminate excess sugar--- I have also been doing that (minus a few days where I couldn't control myself:( But that was in the past, the future is looking bright! 4) Incorporate more REST DAYS--- I'm still working on this one- believe it or not, it's my hardest challenge but I am determined to create a balanced schedule and STICK to it!!! I have also not been worried about the scale- I've been tracking my measurements and BF% and loving what I am seeing! lol
Congrats ladies for sticking to your goals!!! It's hard but the results are SO WORTH IT!!!
Thank you Steph! Love the Idea of the Check in!
Staying focused---patiently awaiting my results AND SUMMER TIME!!! I'm READY!0 -
Steph, in my opinion you shouldn't drop your post workout protein shakes from your regimen--- it helps with recovery and it's very good to drink before bed because it gives your body something to "live off of" while you sleep; it helps preserve the muscle! I MUST have my protein shake after lifting- otherwise, I'd be sore for days!0

Thanks SIS....I was totally thinking that to.... I am making that an exception to my rule...oh and the birthday events outing...Life continues right!! Love ya
EVERYONE glad you guys are still doing this...0 -
Hey yall, i'm still in the game, been a little sick this week so no workouts this week. I'm sticking to the water goals, alcohol is still at 1 day a week, normally friday. Monday Marks 60 days until summer, so i will be in full affect.0

I am still in it to win it! I have picked up some great new pals with this challenge that really push me. I have not stuck to my one Coca Cola every two weeks goal. I have atleast kept it to only the weekends and only one per weekend. THAT'S PROGRESS. I have began to add more strength training to my workouts and I am even going to continue with yoga to stretch my muscles mid week. I am sticking to my water goals most of the time.
I am just going to continue to try different things so that I don't get bored. I have determined that this is why I never finish a DVD series, I get bored with one thing and move on to something else. Atleast my body will not get use to one thing.
have a great day crew!0 -
I'm all up in this THANG, spinning around in it! LOL
Today I have body assessment at my gym so I'll have trainer help me create a plan to help me with my short term and long term goals. I KNOW it will be helpful to get the professional, outside opinion. It helps put things in perspective and it allows you to approach your New Found Life in a different way.
Check - In
(1) Water Intake: My water has been a little shaky this past week or so but I'm straightening up! I was knocking it out before so let me get back up to bat.
(2) Forgetfulness and (3) Lack of Appreciation: I have accepted the fact that I am not the Big Girl I used to be but I am forever grateful for her and I thank her for having the drive, will and determination to get me where I am today and for not giving up. I find something positive everyday to be thankful for. Even if it's as small as, "Thank you, God, for allowing me to be able to WALK from point A to point B. A lot of people just don't have the opportunity (I think about those marathon runners in Boston who may have lost their legs!) So it's important to me to be thankful for the small things, physical and not.
(4) Fast Food Frequency: I have had NO fast food all month and I feel great! I did have Subway but I wouldn't count that as fast food, It wasn't greasy or fried and I worked out that day and had my water.
(5) Workout Schedule: I finally joined a gym! I'm a Gold's Gal now. I have added weight training 2-3x a week to my workout regimen (I can tell because the next day, I am on third world starve!) And I feel so much stronger and I generally feel better. I welcomed the change in my routine and I love it. I can tell my body is trying to tighten up and I stopped worrying about the scale. It is still under my bed and I could care less what it has to say.
I am working my white outfit for the white party next month and I plan to be FIERCE in it!
It's Day 36. Over 1/3 of this trip is over. Where are you at and where are you going? (And if it's a fun place, can I go too? LOL)

I am definitely still in!! I have had some set back, but pushing through it. I have had some personal challenges over the last couple of weeks which have made it more challenging staying on track at times, but overall am doing alright. I will definitely need to tighten things up a bit more with my eating.
I have been doing good only having one serving of my beloved coconut cashew, but eating late has been getting me.
Anyway, I will continue to work on my progress and looking forward to the end result.
Keep pushing forward, friends!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hi challenge pals Yes I'm still in it! Work has been crazy, taking up my log in time!, LOL!! ( thankful for my job!)
Getting back to logging food today! Sticking to no meals after 8pm!
Cardio workouts are down to a 30 minute walk. I'm behind a day of lifting!! YIKES!!
Back to my lifting tomorrow! Next week will be much better!
64 days till summer, time waits for no one! We can do this!0 -
checking in
1. No sweets and chocolate.
Well I did that for the first two weeks. lol Its so hard but I am limiting my sweets compared to before having treats like every hour. I think I am done to once just for dessert every other day. :laugh:
2. Keep eating healthy and stick within my macros.
Yup, definitely doing it but on weekends not so great. I need to focus on trying on weekends or just cheat meal. lol
3. Drink water.
I am doing great on this. I am getting 15 cups of water now. yay, aiming for 18 cups today. :drinker:
4. Complete insanity round 2
I am on schedule starting week 3 now.
5. Lift weights 3x/week.
Doing P90x now, I think I have kept with it.0 -
Hey Hun I'm still here on this journey. I have been finding my groove with my workouts. I don't have a set program I am finding is so much more easy to deal with. I am however back at my gym on my weight training program. I have to set up with my trainer which machines will bring about a complete workout. I may need adjust my eating time to say don't eat after 8:00pm just because my schedule is so off in the evening. I also had to get a grip on going to the Restuarant two weekends in a row. I'm back on track with that. I think we can do this. Lets Go0

I'm still in! Though the last couple of weeks have been rough for me while I was dealing with some family issues and a 4-day migraine, my fire is still burning! Granted, it may not be as bright as it was in the beginning, but it is still burning. At first I was mad with myself for allowing my problems to knock me off path for almost 2 weeks, knowing that I couldn't get that time back, but instead of the negative energy, I decided to find the positive in the situation and that is---I got back up! I have to remind myself why I began this journey in the first place and use that to fuel my efforts. Nothing but good will come from this lifestyle, so despite how many times I falter, I will always get back up!
On another note, I am looking forward to going to ATL this weekend with a friend for the Black Girls RUN! Preserve the Sexy Tour! I'm sure there will be lots of useful tips and information there, and just to be in a physical environment with women striving for a healthier life should be refreshing!
So for anyone whose fire got a little dim, let's REVIVE, RECHARGE, AND RENEW our spirit, mind, and body!!! Have a wonderful day!!0 -
Hey beautiful fit fam!
I'm still in it and am a work in progress! My three things are working out a minimum of four days per week which I've done!!! Woop Woop!!! Turning off my Ipad, laptop, cell phone for surfing the web purposes @ 10:00 so that I can get more rest: I started off well with this but it's been a struggle here lately. My house was broke into so I don't have some of the distractions keeping me up late now.
but I'm still working on it! Last but not least limiting my sweets to a minimum of two times per week. I have cut down on my sweets considerably! However, I'm certain I can do better because I haven't stuck to the goal of twice per week. I will say I'm proud of myself because all of the little debbie's, candy bars and ice cream are where they need to be...which is not in my house.
Steph, you are truly appreciated for putting together this great challenge and correlating the whole movement to keep us all in shape! Hugs and love to you girl!
Anyone interested feel free to befriend me as we can all use the support! Now let's go get it!!!! 0 -
I didnt even realize that I wasnt apart of the group so I couldn't respond LOL Anyhoooo----YES, I'm still in it!
1. 100 ounces of water -- I'm pretty good about this & working out in the am REALLY helps becasue I drink 50 ounces righ tthere.
2. Exercise 6 days/week --- On point with this as well.
3. Stay within calories --- Here is where things get sketchy...I'm working on what my calories I need to lose. So I'm still playing around with what this number needs to be inorder for me to lose the next 20 pounds. In general I am doing good at staying under the number I set.
Thank you ALL for your honesty and inspiration on this journey 0 -
So for anyone whose fire got a little dim, let's REVIVE, RECHARGE, AND RENEW our spirit, mind, and body!!! Have a wonderful day!!

Hey there 100 Day Challengers!!!! I have been down but not out due to IBS which is causing some stomach pain. I'll bounce back soon enough I am sure. I am stil in this thing and I know that a lot can be done in these last 60+ days. Seems like yesterday we started this journey and we are already on day 64. Let's keep uplifting each other and lets get this done. I am doing pretty good on my three except the water cause it make my belly bloated and it feels uncomfortable. I get some water in but not my 8 glasses for sure. I'm ready to turn this corner and get back to working out. I am also off the scale until 5/3 but I am thinking of going further. The scale doesn't mean as much to me as it once did. I tried on a size 8 last night and that was a better feeling than seeing the scale read 160...lol Woop Woop!!! Ok enough rambling. Talk to you guys later.0

Hey there everyone! I am still here as well! Been having ups and downs but today I have set my mind! I always say I hate to look down at my saggy belly when I workout but I dont buckle down on my diet so I am taking an aim to eating as clean as I can and making sure I get my 100 oz water a day! LETS DO THIS!0
-
Yep. Still in it!! Having to regroup though 0
-
Sorry sis I am still in! I just do the mobile app, but I just recently started the 24 Advocare challenge with my trainer from my fitness Bootcamp. I am still doing my workouts sometimes twice a day. I have started drinking way more water, I have go get better with preparing my meals, but sometimes time gets away from me.0
-
I'm still i!!! I don't always have access to the website during the day due to my employers tight handle on internet surfing, but I am here! I am taking each day for what it is...one day at a time. I am determined and focused and I am hoping by the end of this 100 day challenge, I will hopefully have learned more about myself and my body and the challenges I've faced, overcome and conquered.
My goals are:
1)no longer Eating after 7pm: Doing fine with this, sometimes 730, but that's as late as it gets
2) add a 5th workout day to my 4-day regimen: I'm doing great with this, I even did a double workout day Wednesday!!! That was a first.
3) NO fried foods- #fail-there has been 2 occasions including yesterday, where my job provided free food and fried fish was included. I ate the fish both times. Although I didn't have anything else and I definitely logged it, I still feel bad about it....one day at a time.
Have a great week!!!0 -
I'm still in it!! I've had a few slip ups with late night eating
I've been consistent with my protein and water. Today I got carried away with eating cookies. Fresh start tomorrow.... more focus for the remainder of the challenge.0 -
Still in it. Hitting roadblocks lately. But not giving up, pushing harder..0

Hi all!! I'm in but I forget to come to this group page my bad...when I'm busy at work I catch up at night before bed but no excuse ill do better...I re amped mine to less bread instead of no bread I'm getting back to workn out..my sis had surgery so I was helping her..lets get it going we got this!0
-
I'm 100% in this!
My goals were water, Gym 5 days and sweets..
The more I workout the less I crave sweets or the damage it'll do
to my body! I either workout before work or after work it's a nice break
from the kids... My struggle is water... The ladies room at my job is
NOT as clean as I prefer so I tend to not drink to avoid the restroom! My
plan is bring some gloves and bottle of bleach and clean the bathroom
myself!
If you want it bad enough there are NO excuses! Just do it!0 -
I am in it. 0

Just wanted to say great job and a post workout protein from what I have been reading lately is the right thing to do!!! No matter when the workout it's the best time to refuel those muscles, so drink it!! And goooo VAN!!! Hahah you guys r too much!!Ah Man....I forgot to list how I was doing....
My 3 things to give up were: Sweet Tea, Eating after 730pm, and Alcohol beverages....
