I plan to start the 30 day squat challenge this evening after my usual workout. I am currently on day 8 of 30DS. I will be using the squat challenge from fitsugar.com.

Anyone want to join me on this butt kicking 30 day journey?? I'd love to have the support and feedback a challenge group offers!

    I was planning on just doing basic squats but I think anyone that wants to use extra weight for resistance should be welcome to do so. Here is a link to the plan I will be following:

    First post ever D:

    I just started that this morning. Over the course of several years I have lost about 45 lbs, the last 15 all thanks to MFP :). Now that I'm at my goal weight I want to start some sort of strength training....the booty I used to have has sort of "pancaked" if you will, lol, so I'm hoping this will at least help somewhat! We shall see....

    i am finishing up a 30 day body weight squat challenge on Sunday. it was super fun (and challenging!).....i highly recommend it. for ME, it was more about proving to myself (at close to 300 lbs) that i really COULD do it and stick with it!

    you guys can do it!

    Haha I am at the beginning of my journey but pancake butt has always plagued me! Hopefully this will help!

    Thanks for the motivation! I keep reminding myself that I am doing all of this for ME, no one else. And I think that's why I feel more empowered now!

    One thing I was wondering..I've only recently reached maintenance weight so I'm still eating at a deficit while in the process of gradually increasing up to maintenance calories. While doing a challenge like this, should I keep doing what I'm doing or just bump up to maintenance calories now? Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked a bajillion times, I'm just a fitness noob T.T

    Great question! I wish I had an answer but being a fitness noob myself, I'm not so sure...

    Okay Y'all .. I"m starting this with you! I love the fact that it is different types of squats as opposed to the same one over and over .. definitely think the booty will be in better shape!! :)

    I've just started this squat challenge. I'm hoping to finish it, even if it does take me a little longer than 30 days. I like the look of the fitsugar squat challenge as it mixes it up a little.

    How's every doing so far? I'll be honest...I was sick all weekend (still fighting it today, ugh!) so I didn't start this until yesterday. But two days behind is better than never, right? The sumo squats (from fitsugar.com) were killer for me!

    I started 30DS over a month ago and had a weekend off and never started it again....

    I need to get back on track, I DO NOT WANT TO BE CHUNKY FOR CHRISTMAS! So I am going to start this tonight, hope you don't mind me joining late..... :)

    Started my 30 day challenge today. I like nice straightforward easy to understand routines like this to supplement other exercise.

    I started my 30DS yesterday! I plan to do bodyweight for the first 30 days and go from there.
