    Hello!! I have been "off and on" MFP since late last year....been kinda bouncing my weight around within 10lbs or so....I am only 5' 1" so 10 lbs is allot!!! and weighing 160 is even more!!! I got serious about my healthy lifestyle and MFP about a couple months ago....I started walking and jogging.....eating clean....all that....and saw zero results.....so I did a little reserach on my body type etc....and decided I was doing things all wrong...I started the Jillian Michaels 30DS on July 31st and have already lost over 12" total all over my body. I also do zumba at least 2 times a week and yoga once to twice a week....the results are blowing my mind!!! I cannot wait to start this challenge and take my arms to the next level!!!

    Hi Anne here. I'll give this challenge a go. I tried the Ab one and failed miserably, only got to day 4.

    I hope to do better with this one :happy:

    Hello! I'm so excited for this challenge. My arms have always been a little flabby, even when I was a thin teenager. I'd love to give them some toning, especially since I have a wedding coming up and my dress is sleeveless.

    One roadblock for me may be grad school. I would love to think of doing exercise as something relaxing to do as a break from my studies. Hopefully, I can actually commit to this in practice and not just in theory :-)

    Plugging week 1's exercises into my calendar now!

    hey don't get discouraged. So you are not able to do more than day 4. maybe for now you should try you stay with day 4 until you are able to do day 5. You will then call it a "x-day abs challenge". sounds good,no?

    I don't know where i got that from. but it is in my profil pictures and often i look at the pictures. So there are my inspiration quotes to go on.

    Hi Im Kathryn,
    I have only just joined MFP, but am looking forward to changing my life and love the idea of these groups. It also makes it easier to do at home, as i am studying and spend most of my day writing up assignments this semester. I have about 15kgs to lose (don't know what that is in pounds). looking forward to being skinny for summer (in New Zealand).

    Hi, my name's Kate. I'm super excited to start this challenge! I've been running for quite awhile but I keep finding that my right shoulder keeps cramping up while on longer runs. I'm hoping that strengthening my arms (and working on my core on my own) will help solve this problem. Here's to working on overall strength improvement and therefore faster running!

    Hello! I'm Jessica! I'm excited to participate in this challenge. My arms are definitely something I can improve upon, and with a strapless bridesmaid dress hanging in my closet to be worn in December, I'd love to get a head start on looking as fabulous as possible.

    Hello all! My name is Tanya. I am 41 years old and live in Central Florida. I am down almost 20 lbs this year but am shooting for some quicker weight loss by October 24th (20-30 lbs)....Going on a Cruise! This challenge is perfect as it will complement my other workouts and will hopefully tone up my arms for all those tank tops I want to wear on the cruise.

    Looking forward to Sept 1st with all of you!

    I'm really looking forward to this. "Use it or lose it" is so true, especially after 40, and I am so self-concious of my arms and wearing sleeveless shirts. Thanks for starting the challenge!
