    I almost went into complete panic mode when asked to be in a high school friend's wedding in April. I should not have to feel like that. Time to focus on myself for awhile!

    What kind of workout routine is everybody in? How many days a week?

    I run 4-5 days a week, usually at the end of my run I do a 10-12 circuit from bodyrock.tv.. those are tough but they (along with adding veggies, have helped break a 6 month plateau, right now I am doing Chalean Xtreme 2 days a week with a friend and we are in the Lean phase with 2 more weeks to go, once that's over we are moving on to two days of hybrid P90x and Supreme 90.

    I am going to try to start walking 45 minutes a day to ease into it the first couple weeks. I work 16 hour days so I have to figure out where to squeeze it in. That has been the biggest challenge for me.

    I am going to try 30 min walking a day. Working 2 jobs so I also am time short!

    Ok slamminsammy.....let's make an agreement that we will both FIND time to walk every day! I am going to try to schedule it in just like I would anything else. Block off the time. Let's do it!

    I get my running (or dvd's on non run days) in at 4:30am otherwise it may not get done:) with my schedule once I am at work there is no telling when I will get home so as hard as it is, for me its just best for me to get up early and get it over with, plus I do a bootcamp workout in the park on Saturday mornings at 6:30am and my long runs when there is no class.

    I wish I could get up early. I work until 1 am and have to be at my other job by 8:30 am. It's really hard for me to get up any earlier. I have to figure out when to squeeze it in. I have a 2 hour break for 2-4 pm. I think I am going to have to try to squeeze it in there instead of my daily nap. Now.....if I can just quit drinking diet coke. I am a true addict.

    That sounds like a very busy schedule; I hope you do fit the walk in, it'll make reenergize you and make you feel so much better :)

    I go to the gym 5 day/week for an hour (30 min walking on treadmill, 30 min cycling) and an aerobics/zumba class twice a week. My big challenge will be fitting in enough exercise once I'm back at university, but I'm promising myself to get at least 45min/day.

    I will aim for dropping 40lbs for the new year.

    Good luck, ladies!

    I'm in for the 2012 challenge! I'm a SAHM, so my workout is basically whatever I can fit in between taking care of the kids (2 1/2 yrs and 3 1/2 months). I really enjoy Pilates and used to do the Wii Fit a lot. I try and work out for at least 20 minutes every day; some days more, some days less. I also enjoy belly dancing and I do some of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred moves. I have about 25 lbs to lose; I'd like to lose them by my bday in February!
