    I don't know who's my biggest inspiration but seeing my mom lose a lot of weight after being diagnosed with diabetes and turning things around is a BIG motivation for me. I used to be skinnier than her and now it's the other way around!! Living as long as possible to be with my gf is another big motivator. And then there's me and my own vanity ;)

    Hmmmm....ME, really. I've always excelled intellectually, but now I want to excel physically. And, my son: I don't want him to know me as a fat mom. I want us to have a fun, full life together.

    1. I love the challenges but I probably won't get to them until I get home. I'm visiting Denmark right now and I'm exercising quite a bit but have no routine about it.
    2. Please add me, if you already haven't. These threads tend to get taken down quickly. In the event that happens, we can still stay connected.
    3. My gf and I have been doing this for at least a year, together, so she helps motivate me when I'm not. Motivated. My family inspires me and finally, I'm really doing this for me bc I happen to like me and want to live a long and active life.
    4. I like the banner idea :)

    Best,
    Debbie

    Whoa! Number One Motivation for me - me and my girlfriend. And swag of Heather Morris and Chachi.
    I love my goal. I love my way to be cute and healthy. It's a true motivation.

    My number one motivation person for getting fit is...........Myself....

    My family, friends, and bf love me to pieces. However, I'm having problems loving myself. I was a lean 125 pound girl only a couple short years ago. A lot has happened since then and I want to love my body as much now as I did back then.

    How bout a mini challenge? This is my first time to do one.

    Since im new to this lets start things off slow...

    Lets see:

    20 squats, 20 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, and run in place for 20 seconds.
    Do everyday for the week of July 24- July 31.

    You can do it all at once or one at a time throughout the day. If your in, let me know that way we can post each day. Feel free to do more if you like. Come on people we can do this. This wont even take but 5 to 10 min out of your day. Lets get healthy together! :smile:

    When I get home from dinner (yeah, Im jam packed today till after then), I will do this after my 30 DS video ;) We shall see about those push-ups though...They can be the "girly" kind right? Not even Jillian Michaels has been able to get me to do push ups very well haha

    Lol yes they sure can. We are starting off slow. girly push-ups is what I had in mind also. There is no way these arms can lift this body at this point. :) Lets do this!

    Happy Sunday Rainbow Warriors!! How's it going? I'm entering an emotional period in that I'm starting to tell people that I'm moving. The next couple of months will no doubt be a roller coaster of a trip! I'm so dreading the whole packing thing...at least this time I'll be counting how many calories are burning! Ha! And then I have no idea how to move my things and my two cats half way across the states!! Any ideas???

    Hope you are all staying cool on this hot summer day!!

    Rainbow Warriors: Love it. :)

    Hi, my name is Angella, I'm 25 years old and live in Columbiana, OH and need to lose 100+ pounds. Not sure what my final goal should be since I've never been skinny so I'll aim for 100 first then reevaluate my body, my health, and how happy I am with my body image.

    I'll have to agree with many other posts and say my number 1 person for motivation is myself. I want to be happy and healthy for myself but also for my wonderful boyfriend. He quit smoking after 15 years so I can quit fat. =) Also, my dad has lost 64 pounds and he's my hero.

    As for the mini challege I will start Monday since I just got back from my parents where we were celebrating my sister's graduation and all I want to do right now is sleep. And laundry.

    Good Morning (and good afternoon to some! lol) Rainbow Warriors!

    My apologies for not being around yesterday, I was out on a tube in a creek (no more canoes or kayaks left!), which turned into a workout - water hiking! Yeah, the water level was so low, half the time we had to walk - and drag an inner tube, AND carry the coolers (they had a little raft). I'm kind of surprised our group of 12 only popped 1 inner tube! lol Then when the water *was* deep enough, it was so stagnant that we went nowhere! So I was exhausted last night when I finally got home!

    Needless to say, I did not get around to our mini-challenge yesterday! :frown: BUT, I will try to work it into my day today. And, of course, I brought my lunch as always. In the 3 months since I started this job, I've only been out to lunch once - and it was just taco bell fresco menu for me!

    RE: push-ups, you also have the option to do wall push-ups! I will probably use my desk.

    Let's make it a HEALTHY Monday! :drinker:

    I always make my lunch the night before, usually leftovers from dinner. That way I know I'm all set and don't have to worry about it! :flowerforyou:

    the problem is that Lunch for us is the main meal as for you is dinner , so at work all i can do is having snacks until i get home from work & have the big meal & dinner for us usually is like breakfast food , so some days when i' work late i have to eat something more filling or a big meal so i make an order or eat out :)) i know it's so confusing :)))

    i want to have another suggestion is that we have a list of all our names & starting weight at certain date & keep track of what we do , so every week for example we weight our selves along with the mini challenges every week .

    hopefully I'm not to annoying :))

    I stopped by the store this morning for lunch: a little tray of veggies w/ ranch (140 cals) and a hummus and prezel tray (250 cals). But, now someone won a lunch here and there's a yummy salad included, so I may switch my lunches around :) Yum. I need the veggies for sure!

    lol your not annoying! But any suggestion is a good one. You can put that in your signature that way the whole group can see. Or would you rather one person keep track of it and post at the end of the week?
