    I've been slacking super hard these past few weeks with traveling and finals. I fell behind on the challenges but my caloric intake has remained the same, so luckily I haven't gained much weight. I'll be starting up the challenges again tomorrow. You ladies are awesome and your posts are keeping me in check and keeping me going. You guys rock!

    I'm back (mostly) but since I hadn't been keeping up with the challenge I had to modify my reps a little.
    Completed day 24 yesterday and day 25 today!
    I've been running a lot lately. I finally don't hate it and have been trying to make time for longer outdoor runs which has limited my keeping up with the challenge.
    Congrats to all of you ladies who have kept pushing through everyday! You are my motivation!

    I must get organized. Before next month I have to figure out how I want to incorporate the Shred, running, T25 and lifting and the other challenge plus get rest days :s I decided I wanted to workout every other day this week to give myself rest and to allow for other stuff to be done ... errands, housework, cooking, etc; but I miss days on the challenges when I do this. Idk. Next month I just plan to NOT wing it. Maybe, idk. Suggestions needed...PLEASE

    I would suggest running as a warm up for the shred. I'm not sure what T25 is but I would suggest alternating that and lifting every other day. Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you!

    THANK YOU Renee!!!!! This is a GREATTTTTTT suggestion :) Oh and T25 is a Beachbody program from Shaun T .... the one who did Insanity, Cize, Hip Hop Abs...it's 25 minutes of cardio basically. I appreciate your feedback.

    T25 is probably similar to Shred in how it works. They are both under 30 minutes, so you could in theory do them back to back and get in a long workout . How many days are you planning on running?

    Definitely havent abandoned you guys...this week I only wanted to workout MWF and take off my two days and see how the scale responds to that. Also, I have started back running since the weather is better is and I have gotten on the treadmill some days a well. Today I actually did do 5 sets of bicep curls...5 reps...15 lb dumbbells. I know its not the FW or LBD challenge though :open_mouth: I am going to spend this weekend figuring out how I want to workout next month. I believe I may be stuck at this weight so I may need to start lifting heavy weights are I may get a scale (uh! really would prefer not to get that deep) to weigh my food. We shall see.

    Ya'll have a good weekend!!! :#

    Jessica, it could be that you're not eating enough calories. Mfp doesn't add in the activity factor when it calculates your calories
