    Alright, I got in 25minutes on the elliptical last night and 50 crunches (that was hard for me!) But I'm excited because I lost weight this week!! :happy:

    Original weight: 152lbs
    1/6/08: 150
    1/13/08: 148.5!!!

    I'm doing pretty good with keeping right around 1200cal and I didn't drink a single soda!! (this was my original challenge) So hopefully I can get in my 50 crunches each day!

    My butt is sore from all the squats.

    I'll get in my 60 crunches soon(3 sets of 20-regular & both sides)

    Lost 1 lb this week, so I'm down to 149. Put in 20 min of cardio and my 50 crunches. I haven't seen much difference on the scale yet, but I can see the difference on my legs and rear.

    Original weight :152lbs
    1/7/08: 150
    1/13/08: 149

    I'm on the same kick as Heather, staying right around 1200cal a day. I'm planning on stepping my workouts up this week to see more results. Keep up the good work Heather!

    I'll do 50 a day. I need some thing like this to keep me on target. I've been on for about 15 days. Down almost 10 pounds and 2in in my waste. 1 in on my hips. No way will I post any pictures until I've dropped more.

    This week seems to be taking forevor! I'm doing good with my crunches and diet, but having a hard time getting motivated to get back on the elliptical!! How's everyone else doing?

    Alright, I didn't get in my crunches everyday :( I did make it 5 /7 days though, so not horrible...this week we're adding a new challenge though!! This week is squats! I'm actually not sure how many I can even do so I don't know how many to set for the challenge!! I guess we can tentatively set it at 50 and if that's way too many we'll lower it! I hope everyone had a good weekend, I only lost half a pound this week but my measurements all went down 1/2" - 1" from 2 weeks ago, whoohoo!! :)

    I'm in on the challenge, I love it! although I just took steps this week to start losing weight (finally) and since I am not in shape I will be the "bound for" 50 (but won't make it yet!) :happy:

    Hey Heather....so what will next week's challenge be?

    Last weeks challenge was 50 crunches, and this weeks challenge is 50 squats...so it's up to you if you want to continue the first weeks challenge and add on or replace it with squats...my goal is to build upon each challenge to create more of a habit so I can stay in shape!!!

    50 squats is killing me. lol I have been on stress overload this last week and haven't lost a single pound. But next week is a whole new week.

    This is what I need!! The "blah to babe" fits my thoughts to a tee !

    I have seriously slacked off in recent months - getting 'soft' and noticing the lbs creeping back on....So here goes...

    "Weighed myself on Tuesday and don't want to again right now" weight: 145 lbs

    "Been there so I know it's do-able" weight: 123 lbs

    "Would love to be this so will see if do-able" weight: 116 lbs

    Hitting the gym at the weekend and going for the squats!

    Welcome Mina! The more girls we have motivating each other the better we'll do! I did my crunches and squats for today plus a Firm workout on cable :) My 2 year old attempted to follow along as well, too funny! I weighed myself at 147 this last weigh-in, down 5 pounds from Jan 1st!! My first goal is 135lbs since I haven't been at that weight for at least 4 years, then I'll try for 125 after that since that's what I used to weigh when I was in the best shape :) At this rate I should be able to wear a swimsuit by summer without being totally mortified! :happy:
