I REALLY hope I make it to my goal! I know its a big one and it will be tough but I am going to give it all I have. SO excited for this challenge group.

For our weekly mini-challenge I am going to try to do 50 push-ups, crunches, and jumping jacks each day in addition to my workouts. I am going to be so sore, but it will be worth it! Here we gooo!!!

For the weekly mini-challenge I am going to try to do 30 push-ups, 30 crunches, and 30 reverse crunches each day plus my workouts. Doesn't sound like a lot, but I use arm weights while doing those and during crunches I do leg movements too. Can't do jumping jacks currently, as I have a bad knee, which any jumping and bouncing affects.

Hello Everyone!! My name is Tammy and I hope I'm not too late for this challenge, I just stumbled on it and I think it sounds great!
My starting weight is 235 and I'd like to be in onederland by the Fourth of July! I know thats a big goal, 2.5 lbs a week. So in order for it to be challenging but not daunting I'm gonna set my goal for 1 1/2 lbs a week. For a goal of 21 lbs off (214). I will do the mini challenges as well, as best as I can. Crunches are no problem and neither are the jumping jacks but I was just looking into doing the 100 pushup challenge and found that it really hurts my right wrist to even do the girl ones (That is also why I dont do the Downward Dog in yoga). But I did read about wall push ups and I think I can start with those to see if I can strengthen my wrist. I'm not gonna risk doing any damage tho so we will see how it goes. Thanks for comming up with this!

I'm in! My name is Krissy and I am a school teacher from NJ. I have been on WW most of my adult life and I hate the new plan. I feel it is not strict enough for me. I need set guidelines. Found myfitnesspal and I am down 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I am getting it off this time for good. I am a 37 year old mother of 2. Job stress has really contributed to the scale going in the wrong direction this year. Also, my love of red wine doesn't help either.

My goal is to wear a two-piece bathing suit this summer and not run for the towel or cover-up. I haven't worn one in 3 years (I got thin after the birth of my son through running). I herniated discs in my neck last year and as a result fell off the exercise bandwagon. I jumped back on about 2 weeks ago. I would like to lose 15 pounds by July 4th. This is realistic because it averages out to about a pound a week.

I am trying something new this time. I was never really a red meat lover and have decided to just eat seafood, eggs, and dairy products for my protein sources. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks and haven't missed the meat. I actually think I feel better so we will see if it continues. Besides, I love all kinds of seafood so I have a lot of choices. I am not doing it for moral reasons or to save the environment. (those would be an added bonus) I am just not a fan of meat.
