    Hi I've just startwd. Today is day two of my diet and I feel like such a failure. Pizza and McDonald's already. I'm hoping this group will help me stay motivated and disciplined.
    Starting weight 67kg 147lb
    Goal for end of August 62kg 137lb
    Challenge: record food on tracker, stick to goal calories, exercise at least 4 times a week. (in starting with 40min walks) I hate exercise so this will be the biggest challenge for me.

    Forgot to mention that I am so full of energy and determination that I had a great 1st day!!! I did 30 min on treadmill and 30 on eliptical!! Plus I stayed within my calories.

    Today I did 50 min on the treadmill and danced for 30 min.

    Does anyone do the Zumba..have been thinking about buying it.

    My downfall.....I dont drink enough water. I need to go fill my cup now..
    :laugh:

    Great job!!!!

    I do Zumba and I love it! My abs are still sore from my Sunday class. My Zumba instructor even said that if we didn't feel it in our abs the next day, we didn't do it right. I guess I did it right! LOL

    So far, I've exercised every day! (I'm counting since Friday because that is my "weigh in" day) I'm anxious to weigh Friday and update you guys on my progress and see everyone else's progress!

    Stay motivated guys! A little determination goes a long way! Hope everyone has a wonderful week! :)

    I think I did okay today. I didn't drink as much water as I should have...I was stuck in a 3hr long meeting at work with no restroom nearby, so I didn't want to fill up lol! But I got in my P90X workout...plyometrics today. That one is a killer!! Glad to see others did well today also :)

    I did Day 2 Level 1 of the 30 DS today. I actually did a mile of walking before I did the Shred video and I think it helped. Seems to make it feel easier if I start the video with muscles that are already good and warm. It also helped with the caloric burn...went from 278 to 393.

    I made it through day 2 without a soda also. YEAH!

    Hope everyone has a great day 3 tomorrow! It is date night for me and hubby, so day off from exercising!

    Goal is to make sure to stick with Insanity. I am halfway though week 3. I have been losing over 2 pounds a week so far. Hopefully it will keep coming off and I will not plateau. Good luck everyone!

    Starting weigiht: 135
    Monthly goal weight: 130 -- I fear I might fail at this though...doesn't matter how hard I try I just can't seem to knock this weight...
    Goal: workout at least five days a week doing ChaLEAN Xtreme, Jillian or Insanity (so my swimming and walking with friends are extra work outs)

    Maybe to try to get to my goal weight I should have some better goals sooo...
    Week 1 - No candy of any sort...except ONE little piece of dark chocolate
    Week 2 - Do 4 cardio videos and 2 weight based videos
    Week 3 - Eat no pasta or white bread
    Week 4 - Do 4 cardio videos and 4 weight videos
