Hi, I am Cindy. I am 46 years old. I am going through menopause and it is so tough to lose every pound. My weight has been up and down my whole life. Now it is up...way, way up. I have two boys and a step son. All are older 25,21 and 16. I have three grand children 2 girls and one boy. I want to get healthy so I can be around for a long time to see them grow. I also want to feel better and be able to do all the things I love to do (golf, ski, hiking). I am motivated but my body is fighting me or something weird. I started in January logging on MFP religiously and going to gym three days a week but have only taken off about 10 pounds but I know I have lost inches but I haven't measured which I need to do before this challenge. I find I do better when I have to be accountable. I am happy to be on this team. I am not a runner but I do the elliptical at the gym and weight training. Let's do this!!
Hi Cindy!! Welcome to the Big Butt Theory. We're glad to have you. Feel free to post your workouts here. I've decided to have Thursdays and Sundays as my 2 rest days. How often do you go to the gym?0 -

I used my heart rate monitor to determine my calories burned then I created and added C25K under My Exercise.0 -

I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. 25 minutes on Elliptical, 20 min treadmill and 10 min bike. I went last night (Monday Night) I am going tonight. Exercise is a stress reliever for me. I go after work because I am no where near a morning person. I could never get up early to go to gym. I enjoy going after work. I have a workout buddy and that helps me so much!!0 -
C25k day 1 complete! It's been a while, my legs feel like jello, lol!0

Hi all, Im Monet, 29. I have a 5year old and 1 year old. Ive been back and forth to MFP many times since I first joined. This is day 23 for me. This time will be my last time starting over. I am doing this so I can be around for my children. I already have HBP and probably diabetes but my goal is to be medication free. Since re-starting I have lost 8 Lbs!!! I am currently 210.0. My total goal is to get down eventually to 120. I'm only 5'2" so that's ok for me.
My diet and exercise plans for this challenge beginning Apr 1st...
(1) 30Day Shred and NerdFitness
(2) Diet: Stay within my calorie allowance 1400 a day
(3) Water: 10 cups, 80oz a day
My weight loss goal for this challenge: Get into OneUnderLand!!! 1990 -

Great job EmilyM8705!! I know the feeling, my legs, especially my calves were killing me yesterday. I thought I'd wake up sore this morning but surprisingly didn't.

No worries sliminby60, life happens. I completely understand. If this month's challenge is successful I plan on running it monthly. Keep your eye out for us next month.

Everyone who's doing the C25K, YOU CAN DO THIS If I can run so can you too, I'm looking forward to the rain stopping, here in Washington State. There's gorgous trails everywhere plus fablous parks with lakes.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. Goooooo Team The Big Butt Theory!!!

I'm so with you, menopause, hasn't been nice to me either. I eat a candy bar a gain a pound.0 -
Checking in Today I completed my strenght training routine and manage to lift heavier on a couple of exercises (I'm still super weak but every little bit makes me happy!) I'm also participating on this step challenge with a couple of friends and so far I've managed to take 36k steps since Monday (it's Wed here today), which is higher than my "goal" of 10k steps per day, so that also makes me happy 0
