    Question of the week: What's your favorite move for sculpting hot legs or a beach bum?
    My favorite move is a bowler's lunge with some 25lbs weights in each hand! Really targets the outer thigh and bum!! Like this, but GO SLOW and use weights!!! And really push up through your front heel. :Dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fhGEDRBjBk

    What's your workout schedule look like this week?
    Monday: yardwork (installing a flagstone patio & moving sod!)
    Tuesday: rest day (I've got a stupid cold)
    Wednesday: ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 3, run & abs
    Thursday: ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 1
    Friday, ChaLEAN Burn Circuit 2 (really hoping TurboFire arrives!)
    Saturday: EcoTrek (super fun, it's like an outdoor bootcamp)
    Sunday: probably more yardwork

    Yesterday was still a Holiday so we will cut you a break :-)

    Current Weight: 153.6 I lost another .6 lbs for a total of 1.2 lbs since the beginning. (not counting the 4 I gained and then lost)

    QOTW: Favorite move would be leg raises with a sculpting band. Not only does it work the butt but also the thighs!

    Workout this week: ChaLean Push phase workouts + cardio workouts, zumba, pilates, core and maybe another run if my foot is feeling better.

    I ate like crap over the weekend. I haven't weighed myself in days, I'm a little scared to do so now. My regular weigh in day is Monday, so I'll just weigh in tomorrow.

    I'm doing 30DS Level 2 this week, as well as 30 min Leslie Sansone videos every day.

    Hi ladies! I'm pretty sure I drank my body weight in beer this weekend so I wasn't really expecting to see a loss. I maintained this week- not too bad. It's June and for me June is all about consistency.

    Fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats and daily exercise.

    Current weight: 165.4
    Total pounds lost since the start: 2
    Question of the week: What's your favorite move for sculpting hot legs or a beach bum? Leg lifts from a side-lunge position. Ouch!

    Well, I had a terrible week last week. Lost half a pound and got so excited that I binged for four days. So...
    Scale said 123.5 this morning but know that I was 123 last week some time! I didn't want to weigh in this week at all, but its the first of June! So I had to! Goal is to lose 3.5-4.5 more pounds by July :D Which means I have to stop binging..

    Current weight: 123.5

    Weight lost since the start: 3.5 pounds (only half a pound off track from my goal of 1 pound a week)

    I like to use the cycle for my thighs and the cross trainer for all muscles pertaining to my butt.

    I don't have a work out schedule this week. I'm trying to take it easy since I work so much. If there is a day where I feel like "yeah, I've got the energy to get there" then I'll get there. Otherwise I'm getting back to the gym next week.
