I go by Deeno. I've been out of college for a few years and I'm married. I want to get back into Irish Dance for the first time since I graduated High School. I've been trying to do stretches and exercises every day to get back into shape since I've gained 100 lbs. I just completed a 30 day challenge for losing 10 lbs and want a new short term goal. I'm going to try the planks. I'm so excited!0

My name's Jessee and I'm 23. Looking to get healthy and go into the military, but with my weight as it is, it's holding me back. I'm going to do the push ups and crunch challenges (why not have some extra challenge haha) Best of luck everyone!0

Hi, I'm Marie - 28, married (military spouse) and currently a stay-at-home mom to an 8 month old (I do have my college degree though!). Trying to get healthy for my family; plus we just found out the Army is sending us to a post near the ocean, so I have to finish getting bikini ready. :laugh:
I'm definitely doing the squat challenge, and probably the plank. Going back and forth over the push up challenge, since I injured my chest while in the military. I'm thinking that would be a good way to work on strengthening everything back up.
Good luck to everyone! :flowerforyou:0 -
My name is Marsha and I am going to do the plank, crunches, pushups, and squats challenges. I am about half way through a 90-day workout and I am feeling the strongest I have ever felt in my life. I want to keep challenging myself more and more to see what I can do and see my own progress over time. I am trying to get fit, my goal is 16% body fat. I have a long way to go, but I know I am on the right track with the clean eating, protein and amino acids supplements, and weights. I am seeing real results and that is all the motivation I need. I am going to start tomorrow! Nice to meet you all.

My name is Wafa and I am 23. I am going to do the easy push up and the plank challenge. I recently tried to do Jillian Micheals 30 day shred and would get migraines from just how intense it was so I think my body needs to work up to that level of fitness. I am also on week 3 of C25K so I am getting some cardio in as well. I just want to be healthier and clothes to fit better, there is nothing more frustrating then not being able to fit into clothes because your busty.0

Alright then, my name 's Laurence (not a guy, though), I'm 38, and I teach kids with autism. I plan on doing the plank, easy push ups, and squats challenges. I've been doing sport again for over a month and have seen some cool changes in my body, so why not do those challenges, too! Thank you for creating this group.0

Hi
I am Naomi, I am 37 and a mum, work part time, study part time and volunteer as part of my studies. My youngest is 3 and a half and I have been struggling with my weight since he was born, I did really well for a while but I have put on 21lbs in the last year and a half. As well as losing weight I need to strengthen my upper body and core. I am trying to using Davina Intense and 30 Day Shred depending on how much time I have but always 'phone it in' on the press ups and planks so going to attempt those challenges.
Good luck everyone 0 -

Me too! Well I can do 30 seconds of plank with a lot of pain and struggles, but I still can't do a push up! I'm not sure what my push ups will look like during the challenge...
Good luck to you, too.0 -
I can't even do 30 seconds on a plank and I am never sure if my positioning right on either
Got to find a video somewhere that shows the correct positions from all angles. I am determined to do it even if it kills me! 0 -
Sorry cell phone decided to post mid sentence so I started over.0

Hi I'm Bri, im 26 and have an executive position/desk job that keeps me sedentary most of the day... Already do 30 to 80 minutes of cardio most days of the week and looking to add in a challenge to make things a little more interesting. I am in for the squats and planks challenges... May even attempt the burgers challenge but haven't decided quite yet. Best of luck to everyone! We can do this!0

Hi I'm Judy - thanks for the invite I was going to give some of these a try on my own but this will be more fun. I work at a jail and have worked shift work for about 15 yrs which contributed to my gradual weight gain. I have recently taken a steady days Monday through Friday assignment so that I can take a break from shift work and work on myself for a change. I am going to start with the plank and the "easy" push up challenge (it's been about 16 yrs since I have done a push up :indifferent: ).
Looking forward to adding something new to my not so strenuous routine. Good luck everyone! Yay us!! :drinker:0 -
My name is Stacey and I'm a 42 year old working mom. I want to lose 15-25 pounds by the summer so that I can feel good about my body again. It has gotten so hard to motivate myself to be active and lose the weight I have put on over the past 10 years. I always used to be small but then becoming a mom and working full time hasn't left me much time for myself and when I get time to myself, I don't feel like exercising, but I really want to get back in the habit of exercising and making it part of my life again.0

I am Marie and am 56 years old. Over the last year I have gone from being the heaviest in my life to being at a comfortable weight...with a loss of 25 pounds. My goal is to keep it off! I am walking, counting calories, and using DailyBurn to build strength and flexibility. Have not looked at the challenges yet, but am headed that way.0

But then it's a lot harder to find the right plank's position if you're dead.0 -
I have decided on the crunch and push-up challenges! Here we go!!0

I'm so excited to see that 19 more have joined the group~!
This will be a lot of fun 0 -

Hi! I'm Deena and I'm a 36 year old school psychologist. I work full time and am taking classes to become a principal. I know how hard life and hectic life can get! I have about 53 pounds to lose...I have not always been consistent on this weight-loss journey, but this time I am going to do it! I will do the squat and plank challenges:) Please feel free to add me so we can support each other!0

My name is Luke. I'm a third-year college student. I really just want to do what I can to get in shape. I'm around 230 and I feel like I've been here for far too long, so I've set a long-term goal to get under 200 through reddit's 90 Days Goals. In the 90DG program, they have "sprint goals," for every 30 days. These are absolutely perfect for those :]0

Hi all! My name is Christine, I'm 39 and I work for the Department of the Navy. I am a happily married mother of 3 (2 boys- 8 and 7 and 1 girl-4). In addition to working full time I have my own business and help my husband coach our children's sports teams. I'd like to lose 15-20lbs before summer but if nothing else I need to tone up and strengthen my neglected muscles. I'm going full force with this so in addition to T25 I'd like to participate in the easy push up, burpee, squat and plank challenges. Thank you and best of luck to everyone:)0

Hi everybody, I'm 26 and a happily married momma to two wonderful babies - a 20 month old boy and a 3.5 month old baby girl. I am working really hard to lose weight, I am the heaviest I've ever been after having two babies back to back. I have about 45 pounds to lose to be where I want to be. I'm doing the squat challenge!0

Hi, im 27. Im a mom of a 2 year old daughter and 6 mth old boy/girl twins. Im doing the plank and crunch challenge on top of my weekly workout and eating healthy. I need the extra motivation to get these last few pounds off and tone up. Good luck everyone!0

Hi I'm Kadi. I'm 31, married with 2 kids. I work and study part-time. My job is mostly standing and walking. I walk up and down the stairs several times a day! I work in a lab and only sit down when doing paperwork or looking in the microscope. At the moment weare very low on staff so I'm exhausted by the end of the day so it will be a challenge to keep up with the motivation.0
