Week 1
Exercise Challenge(7/20-7/27):
Cardio: Get out those strollers Ladies!! (if your kids are to big for a stroller, have them come along if they can keep up).
Walk 2.5- 3.0mph 4 times this week for 45 min. ( I notice alot of you are doing workout videos and if you would rather do those that is okay, just make sure it is 4 times this week to count your point)

Emotional Challenge(7/20-7/27):
Post 1 reason you believe you have carried this extra weight around. (try to limit it to just one reason, something that you may need to just get out, it helps to release our emotional baggage along with our weight)

    Well a little about myself.

    I'm a stay at home mom of 2 - My son is 4, my daughter is 6 . I'm 25 years old. I've had weight problems since i had my daughter back in 2005.
    The reason i started this lifestyle is because i want to become healthy and be a rolemodel for my kids and family to want to be healthy . Not only do i wanna be healthy i wanna look great in anything i wear.
    I will be working really hard on this challenge and hope that everyone else does. My main goal is to lose my belly fat and tone my thighs.

    Well good luck to you all and lets see some weight in's !!! ( Get your running shoes one) Let's get started Ladies!!!! :)

    Starting MFP Weight 177 (My heighest weight was 223 when starting in my journey in September, 2010)
    Starting SAHMU Weight 141
    Week 1 Weight 141
    Goal Weight 120

    Here's some info. about me.
    I'm a SAHM to my sons, who are 7 and 2. I woke up one morning and just decided "this is it." I started by just wanting to lose some weight, but now it's not only the weight, but I want to feel good (and of course look good), but I want to be healthy. My sons need a good role model and for once in my life, I feel like I actually am one! I still don't eat super healthy, but it's a HUGE improvement compared to the crap I used to eat.

    Morning Ladies!!

    Starting MFP Weight : 157
    Starting SAHMU Weight : 154
    Week 1 Weight : 154
    Goal Weight : 135

    Ok something about me...
    I'm 23, and a SAHM mom to a 2 year old boy, Lucas. Ever since I quit preprofessional ballet at 16, I've had bad weight problems (I even was somewhat overweight while dancing, but in much better shape!) I was really heavy towards the end of highschool, then thinned out a bit. When I got pregnant with my son was when things got really bad, I was 200 when I delivered him, and when he was 9 months old and I decided to make a change I was still 195! Last year from Jan-March I went from 195-155, then this year I made it down to 142... but I let bad habits creep back in, and surprise surprise I was 158 when I stepped on the scale last week!! I want to make this change. I've never actually been "thin" and I am dying to know how that feels!! My birthday is right towards the end of this challenge and I would LOVE to be 145ish by then!

    Squats are done for today, gotta get a workout in!

    I will hit my goal by October 12th (my son's 3rd birthday). No excuses.

    - did a 3 mile walk pushing a stoller today.
    - did my daily squats

    I am a 26 yr old SAHM of two amazing boys (who will probably never fully know the magnitude of how much they have changed my life for the better), Vincent who is 2 &1/2, and Benjamin who is 15 months old.

    I was always an emotional eater. Happy, sad, pissy, no matter what the emotion... I would eat. My heaviest weight on record was 201 on the day my 1st son was born. However, I was heavier in high school than I was at my son's birth, but I was too scared to step on a scale and put an actual number to my shame. My reason for being an emotional eater, I can tie back to my childhood. My parents were constantly dealing with my drug addicted older bother (by 7 years), and I was always put on the "back burner", no matter what my question was. Too busy focusing on his "issues" and all of the heartache and chaos that came with it, but without them ever actually coming out an admitting that he might have a problem. I am 26 now, this started when I was 10, and my parents just recently came forward an acknowledged the problem (he's still using). Don't worry... I turned out pretty well considering. Nontheless, it was hard to deal, or should I say not deal with this at home, and then go to school and be picked on and beat up everyday for being the fat, scrubby kid. I internalized everything, and food was my only comfort. Looking back on it, I had no confidence and so easily allowed others to influence me, and was always seeking other's approval without considering how I would feel no matter the consequences. That's all changed. Thank goodness I met my husband 8 years ago (after a bout of being a gym-a-holic and losing 75 lbs., I weighed 125 and had never looked so good.) He's changed my life for the better. He's helped me regain my confidence, see me for who I really am and the person that I want to be. Sorry for the rant, but I feel better actually having put it into words for the world to see. Yes, I've been through hell, but I'm back and life couldn't be better. :)
