    I'd love to join too - looks like I'm starting a day later than most? Starting weight is 169 pounds. I definitely need some motivation, not doing so well on the exercise front!


    It doesn't matter when you start, so you are just fine! We could all use some motivation so I really hope this challenge is effective for most.:-) I added you to the list!!

    I'm definitely in. I don't have a lot of support at home as far as motivation so this will be great. : ) Starting weight 208.

    Aww, I'm really sorry to hear that. You can come here anytime, there are so many strong supporters here and you can talk to me anytime. Hope you enjoy this months challenge.=)

    Well that was killer. Especially since I already played tennis this evening. But I loved the challenge. I would have never gotten in that extra workout if it weren't for this. Thanks.

    Great job everyone that did Thursdays challenge! Hope you make time for a 3 mile run/walk today and have a great weekend!

    I did the ab moves last night- incorporated some from the 30 day shred and did other ones as well. Will be doing the 3 miles tonight when I get home. :-)

    morning everyone, just tried to do some of todays squats whilst at work to get them out of a way and we almost had a casualty! my work trousers! they are a bit on the snug side (one of my motivators for losing weight are these trousers as we struggle to get replacement uniform) and almost split straight up the middle so my tally today sofar is half a squat, guess i'll just do them all later on

    Well I was gonna post Saturday but got too lazy. I was unable to do the 3 mile walk/run friday so I made up for it on Saturday and did a 5 mile run, then went and did some swimming. It was really a great work out cause the pool had a climbing wall in it too. Excellent work out!!

    I will post later today when todays challenges are done :)

    i failed yesterday. my other halfs man flu has mutated into something girlies can catch, so despite me being up for it in the morning whilst i was at work by the time i got home in the afternoon all i wanted to do was curl under a duvet and sleep, it was a miricle i actually cooked yesterday the fish and chip shop was sounding so tempting, after dinner we curled up with our tissues and watched a film by which time i had totally forgotten about the challenge.

    on the plus side i did lose 0.8lb this week

    i had a nice walk round my local garden centre and its show gardens which according to my pedometer and my maths was just under 2 miles i then walked to the shops and back later which is roughly half a mile, i've not logged it as i'm full of cold so it was more of an amble than exercise. on the plus side i feel much better this morning so todays task should be doable

    well wednesday was a bit of a bust cos i forgot to take my hrm to the gym, but in the hour i'm there i normally burn 600 cals and i did and extra 15 mins of cardio so i think i was about there for that one.

    i also did my crunches last night. am currently hoping the weather holds off for my walk later as its been horrid here the past couple of days
