    Since the challenge is officially started, what are some of the ways you plan to stick to the things you're doing? What are you all doing?

    I plan to continue my diet changes; no sugar, no fruit and no grains. Grass fed meats, antibiotic free chicken, grass fed cheeses, protein shakes every morning.

    Exercise wise continue the high intensity metabolic conditioning daily, continue my twice daily back strengthening exercises, twice daily hip therapy exercises and walking at night.

    [/quote]No problem! Modify away! The SW and GW were meant to be starting and goal for this challenge.[/quote]

    So then SW and your weight on 5/30 would be the same?

    Good point. Just fixed mine. My original SW in the spreadsheet was when I signed up for the challenge. All better now :)

    Right! SW is for this challenge only.

    The link should prompt you to download the app if you don't have it, otherwise I believe it's Google doc or Google documents.

    I plane to eat more of Gods foods! (food in there first from and organic)

    I will not eat carb at dinner vary often. So dinner is going to lots of veggies.

    For my workout routine o will be doing some of the beach body programs that I have until I think it's next week and then I will be doing probably mostly p90x2. I really like all the balance in it! While I will be doing that I am going to do some Brazil butt lift and sometime switch up the workouts with body beast ones.
    If you have any questions about my
    routine or eating you can just ask me :-)

    Also feel free to add me as a friend :)

    My plans include continuing to get up at 540 and walk or do the 22 min hard Corp workouts. Keeping my nutrition on point and staying active through the day

    I plan to eat all the foods I want that are within my macro ratios and eat at a calorie deficit each week (was so glad to find this system and add bacon and whole fat cheese back into my diet after being 'low fat' for many years - so tired of depriving myself of foods I love).

    I have joined a 24 hour / month workout challenge thread for June, and since that is more than I worked out last month, I plan to keep up with that. I hope to put more 'play' into my cardio so it is more fun than feeling like a chore. I have a goal of at least 4 cardio sessions and 1-2 strength training sessions a week. I also have joined a plank challenge thread, so I'm also working on my core with planks.

    Wow, Planks are rough sometimes! There's a move in one of my core work outs called a plank speed kick, where you're in plank and then kicking your feet up and down. Good for the core!

    Yea, I'm only up to 60 seconds (day 10 of a 30 day challenge) and it's already kicking my butt. I'm not really sure I'll be able to do some of the times as they build up in one set, but I will try - worst case, it takes me 2-3 sets to get through them. My paddleboarding requires a LOT of core, so I'm hoping the planks will help with that, and that the paddleboarding will help with the planks. ;)

    There is no way I could add a kick to it too...good on you for being able to do that!! I had one of my friends tell me about reverse planks, where you lean back on your elbows with your belly up...those are even worse than regular ones (if that is possible)!! It's amazing to me the various exercises these days...stuff we would have never dreamed of doing 20-30 years ago.

    Since I'm a Friday recorder (I actually weigh in daily), here's my stats. I've updated the spreadsheet, but since there is no room for measurements, I'm also posting here to track them since I have yet to find the group that was supposed to be formed...

    51 yo female; 5'3"
    Starting Weight (5/20/2016): 149 lbs
    Starting Measurements (Chest/Waist/Hips): 36"/31"/40.5"

    May 27: 146.2 lbs C/W/H: 35.5"/30"/40"
    June 3: 145.2 lbs C/W/H: 35"/30.25"/40.25"

    Challenge GW: 130
    GW: 120

    I'm glad to see it went in the right direction since last week; however, I have been in the 145's multiple times this week, so was really hoping to see 144's. But a pound is better than nothing and right on target!!

    Can this challenge be created as a group instead of a thread so that they spreadsheet could be at the top, or is there an easier way to find the spreadsheet link instead of having to go through the thread each week to find it.

    The OP said they were creating a group, but didn't provide a pointer/URL to it. So don't know if it has been created or not. Also, if you want to get to the spreadsheet easily, you can bookmark it in your browser.

    (And congrats on the great weight loss this week @typeitdaily! Wow!)

    Here it is for those looking for it:

    Someone should just make a group.

    I have to do them leaning against something, like a bench! No way I could do a standard plank on the floor or something and add kicks. Paddleboarding sounds fun!
