I thought I'd start a new discussion topic where people can discuss their progress and motivate each other to continue on this 90 day challenge!

Oh great idea! what did everybody choose for Day 3 Cardio? I am pretty sore today so I'm happy we are doing cardio... It's a nice run for me today!0
-
To help with soreness, add a 1/2" slice of ginger to a smoothie. It really helps! : )0
-
I did the HIIT video because I didn't have time to go to the gym (it's really cold here in Canada). It killed me though! Felt great stretching after though.0

Great to know about the ginger0
-
I just got back on MFP, and so glad to see a group for this program!!
Thanks for the tip about the ginger, I will try that. as i'm feeling pretty sore all over.
I did the HIIT too, probably will every time cause time is precious to me.
Have any of you ladies done this challenge before? does the soreness go away?0 -
I also did the HIIT. It felt like an awesome workout. I'm super sore all over now!0
-
I've never done the challenge however, after Day 4 I feel less sore.. but probably going to regret saying that after Day 5 :S0

I started about a week and a half late, so I did Day 3 today. I did the HIIT because I'm not ready to commit to a gym membership and also our weather has been ridiculous here in Northern Alberta, our streets and walkways are pure ice and I'm not even exaggerating! Also, I suck at running so it will probably always be HIIT for me.
Glad I found this group!0 -
ate terrible yesterday!!! What do you do when you are super treatie? or out where you cannot control what you eat?
but had a great workout. (Day 9) Did an old Cathe Step video... I'm nervous to try the HIIT!
question- When we have the 10 minute workout days, do you do something else as well? I just don't see how only working out for 10 minutes is going to help me lose weight.0 -
Check out other youtube 20 min HIIT videos. There are tons out there. I changed it up for the running stairs and only rested for 30 seconds instead of 1 minute in between reps.0

I have been doing about 30 mins of cardio as well! I think if you are beginning working out then it would be ideal, so you don't wear yourself out, but if you have been working out for a long time and don't think it'll wear you out then I would do extra!0 -
Did anyone weigh in and do their measurements today? What was your progress? I'm on schedule with Day 15, but nervous about taking updating and not seeing any change. I haven't weighed in but plan to do that tomorrow morning. I'll take my measurements tonight afterwork. I completed the Day 15 work out with about 10 min. of warm up and cool down on the Treadmill on either end. Overall it felt good!0

I have lost 7.4 lbs and 7 inches total, so far. Pretty amazing results for two weeks!!!0 -

WOW! Great job! I did my weigh in this morning and lost 3lbs. Will be doing my measurements and photos after work0 -
Wow that is amazing. I'm weighing in tomorrow...not feeling optimistic but I know I'm feeling stronger.0
-
I never measured...but I have lost 4.6 pounds total. Feeling stronger though0
-
oh wow you all have done SO great!
I lost 2.5 lbs. Which is awesome for me! Lately I have only been losing .5 lbs a week or so. AND I lost 2 inches off of my waist! 1 inch off of my hips. I am very shocked that I lost 2 inches off of my waist. I feel so much more stronger in my core, which is something that I have struggled with after my c-section. I will post pictures as soon as I get them on my PC!
Edit for spelling.0 -
I finally weighed in and took measurements. Lost some inches but only .4 lbs. Hopefully I'll see more weight loss on day 30. I always struggle with how many calories to eat. MFP says 1300 before the addition of the calories from working out. I've had a dietician in the past tell me I need 1700! How are you all managing the food aspect? What are your calories? Is anyone using the BBM diet?
Thanks!0 -

I eat 1650 calories a day and I am on my feet for.. I would day 50%-70% of my day and I eat my exercise calories back. For me, the more I eat, the faster I lose. I would try eating a higher amount of calories for 2 weeks or so and see if you notice more loss.
However, I will say that inches matter SO MUCH MORE than lbs lost. Because if you lost inches, you obviously lost fat and gained muscle. Which is what you want!0 -
Since I'm behind I'm weighing in on Sunday and taking pictures. You girls weigh and inches loss is fantastic!
I am using the MFP calories but my goal is only to lose .5 pounds a week because if I don't eat enough calories I get pretty cranky, frustrated, depressed... my intake ranges from 1600- 2000 a day. I cook daily and use a lot of Cooking Light recipes. good luck!0
