Hi ladies and gentlemen,
After the Christmas Cookie Catastrophe (for me, anyway) of the past few days, and how much better I feel after working out this a.m. . . .
Is anyone up for Valentine's as our next milestone?
my goals are to continue what I'm doing.
which is 20 minutes weight training 3x a week
3 days heavy cardio (45-60 minutes spinning)
3 days light cardio (30 minutes moderate walking)
and
3 days yoga.
Onward and upward! (or maybe downward!)

I'll join ya! I'm not sure what to do...do we have a check in every week or something?
I'm joining a gym in January and will be doing:
Weights (approx 45 min) 2x a week
Heavy Cardio (90 min) 2x a week
Light Cardio (45 min) 2x a week
I also will, starting tomorrow :blushing: , stay WITHIN my calorie allotment!
I'd love to lose 15 lbs by Valentines' Day0 -
Ok I'm comitting to:
3x week strength training with video
4x week cardio (not sure if light or heavy, snowshoeing)
if weather doesn't permit:
4x week cardio by video
I'm not setting a weight loss goal. What I lose is what I lose, I think I will do better without the stress of trying to make a number happen. It's more about feeling healthier for me. So I'll just weigh in when I normally do.0 -
Sounds like a good idea I am going to from mon start a vigorous routine of
3x week core exercise with dvd
5x week 30 - 40 mins moderate to heavy cardio (elliptical trainer)
6x week 1hr brisk walk (pushing my kids in the pushchair combined weight of 50lbs)
I would really like to have past my halfway point so thats about 18 1/2 lbs but anything is better than nothing.
Also I am not going to touch chocolate and chips till I reach halfway.
I will be eating healthy food (with the exception of our new years eve chinese takaway) from now on.
Good luck everyone 2008 is going to be a good year.
We can do it!!!!!!

Hi,
Great! I think 15 lbs by Valentine's day would be absolutely wonderful. I would like to lose at least 8 aby Jan 25 when I am going away for a week. Wonder if I can do that? It really shouldn't be too hard I hope. Thanks for the challenge..

Hi there! I just wanted to say thanks for your idea about the Valentine's Day challenge. After reading it and committing to it I actually got up and did 30 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. I had slacked off a bit over the holidays but this Valentine's Day Challenge has ramped up my motivation again! :flowerforyou:0 -
I am totally in. I have lost 56lbs and I have another 29 to go. SO I would like to lose another 10-15lbs by then. 15 would be awesome, that would been only another 15 more to go. :happy: :bigsmile:
I also had to share that today I went shopping for new jeans b/c the ones I have are getting baggy. I bought 10s!!!!! I went from a size 18/20 to a size 10, and one pair of jeans I bought said 9/10s
Can you believe it, single numbers!!! I can see the size 6's I will get there.0 -
I'm up to it...
I want to lose 10 lbs and i want to start going to the gym on Jan 1st0 -
Awesome everybody! . .
What we did for Thanksgiving and Christmas was check in with a new thread everyday.
Any morning people want to volunteer to start it up every a.m.? I'd be glad to start it, but I am not an early riser.
(musician/student=late to bed, late to rise.)
:flowerforyou:0 -
:laugh: i can start it if 8:00 a.m isnt to late and what do we say every day just if we lost or what ?? let me know0
-
what we've done is check in after our workout, summing up the day. I've really enjoyed seeing what others are up to. I imagine we could include any weight lost as well.
I've found it's really helpful to promise others that I'll workout. Especially when I don't want to.0 -
