I just finished the January challenge with some great results and I'm so happy to have found a new one for February! I tend to get frustrated when my weight doesn't decrease, so I'm aiming low and will be focusing more on my measurements. I'm on my second half of Les Mills combat and hoping to keep the motivation up so I can finish

I do combat it's fantastic, can't get enough of that and pump.

I love it! I don't dread it like I do normal workouts because you get to punch and kick most of the time. They always fly by, even the 60 minute ones! I've been looking into Pump - that has different instructors, right? Is there a good mix of cardio in that, or would you mix it with some Combat videos?

Struggles/successes this week: Thank you so much for the February challenge. I did succeed in January with my challenge goal. This truly helps hold me accountable with practicing portion control. Although, my biggest struggle for this week will be applying portion control skills. I have had such a sweet tooth. My personal goals are to work out more strenuously and to be more mindful of what I eat.

I'm joining you! I lost a significant amount of weight before I met my husband but as our relationship blossomed so did we. Here's to hoping this helps me get a start!

I do about the same of each class, pump you use weights with lots of reps, but still gets you're heart rate up. I really feel a difference with it. I think a good mix if the 2 is perfect as you then get lots or cardio and some strength and toning work. Good luck.
