I was hoping for a CCIF group discussion, soon! I was wondering how everyone is going about reaching their goals, what types of fitness they do, etc. I was even thinking maybe our group wants their own little fitness challenge – maybe we have a weekly intense workout challenge as a way to stay motivated (or something) and compare our workout times to see which one of us does the most working out.
For me, this challenge is coming at a great time. I have been working an extra 8 hours/week, which has cut into my workout time. But, I will be stopping that and am now prepped for getting up extra early to get into work. That will be a good chunk of time for me to up my workouts, again.
I mainly workout at home to dvd’s – mostly Cathe Friedrich. She is very intense, with a bunch of new high intensity workouts that just came out. I log them on her workout challenge (Race Across America), which is kind of fun. I also run abit.
I am also thinking about doing Ani Phyo’s Fat Blast for a few days. I have done it before and it really is a decent cleansing type of thing.

Hello teammates!!
I'm Bridget. I'm glad to be a part of this group. I like the idea of doing our own fitness challenges to help keep us on track and motivated. I love working out. I am up to running 4 miles a day but I'm not a winter person so I only run when the weather is nice. Today I was able to run because it was a beautiful day. I also have many workout dvd's. One of my favorite is Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds. She has many dvd's. I also have and love Turbo Fire. I have the whole set. My work schedule is very flexible so I can pretty much participate in any challenge we decide to do. I do so much better when I have a challenge before me. It helps me stay accountable.
Also, I just purchased an elliptical machine since I don't run in the winter months. I will be adding it to my workout routine.
Merry Christmas!!0 -
Hey ladies, I'm glad to see that we 3 (or more) are committed to this challenge. I don't know who is in charge, if anyone, or if we need to come up with our own fitness challenges. I am up for that!
I prefer walking or biking when the weather permits but also have an elliptical that I use when it's just too cold or rainy. I am not a big fan of exercise DVD's but will use HITT apps to set up my own workouts. I also have an array of equipment such as weights, 2 lb hula hoop, yoga ball....... etc. I'm looking forward to starting this challenge the first of the year!0 -
Hello Teammates!!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I'm so excited about this group. I'm ready!!0 -
Linda,
Thank you for starting the thread for your group!
I've let the leaders know to start team discussion threads, but with the holidays people may not be logging on.
Your scheduled leaders are: sue_stef and TLCPharmD.
I'm glad you're all here, and I'm a little jealous! I like intense fitness, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do!0 -
I thought that I'd say hello to my fellow teammates and mention how much I'm really looking forward to this challenge. I used to exercise quite regularly but have been slacking as of late so I'm hoping that this challenge will give me some motivation.
Anyone. please feel free to add me as a friend :-)
Hope to speak soon,

Sonia, you are so very welcome!! Thanks for accepting my friend request.0 -
Sonia, I noticed on the spreadsheet, you're signed up for the calorie counting & smart carb group. Is this an error? Were you entered in the wrong group?0

Hi everyone! I'd like to be in this group. I will add my name to the weigh in spreadsheet and I am all over the fitness challenges! It definitely keeps me going!!
I workout at home. I want to start the New Rules of Lifting program for Women. I bought the book as a Christmas present to me! I only have dumbbells though, so it will be a modified version. I will also add cardio to the program.

Ugh New Years Day weigh-in done. I have gained 5.5 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years. I started MFP 2 years ago and did great but this past year I have done up 1/4 pound at a time and then this holiday I failed big time. Boy am I glad for the New Year and a new start. My goal for this challenge is as close to 10 pounds as possible. My final goal is to be down 15 pounds. 0
