    Although, I am two days late I will start the challenge TODAY!!! I am hoping that since I have this app downloaded to my Blackberry, that it will be easier to stick to this challenge. Cutting calories (1230 a day) and sweating it out on the treadmill (5x's a week).

    6/22/11 - CW 194
    9/05/11 - GW 165
    NSV - New outfit

    Wow, I can't believe how many people have joined this challenge! This might be our biggest start up yet! Stick with us, you won't find a better group...this is my 4th (I think) challenge with several of you and we keep getting new friends along the way, love it!!!!!! :heart:

    Today I am chugging back the water...one of my NSVs was to get in 10 glasses anyways...sometimes I struggle with 8 but water is magical so all the more reason to do it!
    Have been doing weights for the challenge as well, doing the 30 Day Shred every other day and cardio the rest...I love the shred, it is sooo good for strength training. I've had the dvd for 2 years and haven't even got all the way through it but I will, I will, I will! Doing it everyday burns me out I've found but changing it up with other workouts is the way to go for me!
    Glad everyone is getting off to a great start! :flowerforyou:

    Whew, all this water is making me spend my workout time running to the bathroom... LOL. I feel like if I put on my ankle weights it would count as exercise! :-) For real though, just by getting my water up for the past 2 days I feel alot better and less hungry. Getting ready to do Day 2 on level 2 of the 30DS. Hope everyone has a great day!

    Sorry you're not doing so great today, but hope that it gets better. Hopefully after it gets pulled you'll be feeling a WHOLE lot better!
    Also, looks like we're looking for pretty similar goals...I'm trying to get to 132 by the end of the challenge...it's pushing it though, I haven't been at that weight since middle school.
    Also, struggling with exercise because I have an ankle injury I have to nurture at least about 2 months, hopefully after that it'll get better. Thanks everyone on here for the support...doing good on drinking water, and as for weights, I do "baby-wearing" when I go walking, so it adds 17 pounds :)

    well the weights have been easier for me than that water. I like strength training so thats no biggie for me, but I went from drinking one or two glasses of water the first day to 10 the second day! im at 4 today and I know I'll drink 4 more working out so i should reach the goal today :)

    weights 2/7 so far
    water 1/7 so far

    i really need to motivate myself tonight tho cuz i waitressed 7am-4pm and am exhausted. im giving myself an hour to recuperate then ill workout.

    I am struggling today with the water intake. Ugh! But there's still time. I will push myself. I do find that I am wanting more to drink with this increased amount of water. I also seem to sweat more during my work out. Anyone else notice this?

    I sweat a TON more during my work out :smile: I drink tons of water a day (seriously between 10 and 20 cups a day). But sweating is a good thing. It helps filter the sodium out of your system.

    I'm only had 8 so far today, but its only 2pm and I have not done my workout yet today :bigsmile:

    was today your first day of L2? If so, your body will get used to the work out.. eventually... ha.. but L2 is my favorite, I feel it the most during the workout. L3 will step it up a bit more, but to me (and maybe I'm a freak) its more doable than some parts of L2. Good Luck and you can do it! Just stick with it!

    Doing great with the water this week. I'm up to 18 glasses for today. I've noticed with the warmer weather I drink a LOT more. It wasn't always easy for me to drink this much water so anyone out there having problems chugging that much, it just takes time until it becomes habit. I so crave it now!! I just worked out on the elliptical and that machine dehydrates me. I'm doing my strength training on the total gym later. Great job everyone so far this week:) Happy hump day!

    thats where I think I'm a freak.. I don't think L3 is much harder than level 2. YES it exercises different parts of your body than L2, YES I think some of the exercises are tougher, but I can get through L3 easier than I can L2 (circuit 3 of L2 KILLS me.. I seriously feel like I'm going to die doing the strength portion of it.).
