in Motivation and Support
I'm looking for a group that's not too big and sticks together. The few I've joined have had little postings sadly. Soon I'll just have to start my own!

One of the big reasons I'm doing this is because my 20s have sucked. Between being diagnosed with depression, PCOS and being morbidly obese I've had a terrie 20s. I refuse to let my 30s be like that! I'm 28 now and in July 2013 I turn 30. I will be at my goal weight by then! I'm achieving this by using Jenny Craig (halfway then switching to my own food) and exercise. I want to be HEALTHY! I want to be happy. I want to look at myself and not cry!

Anyone in with me?

    I'm in (July 2013 too!) I'm under no illusions that I will lose weight quickly and aim to be at my goal weight going into my 30s :)

    This is being done from my iPhone so can't type too well but I think one rule should be posting at least once every 3 days. Not sure otherwise, suggestions welcomened!

    Challenges I think we need to set both an exercise challenge and a Christmas challenge. Xmas Challenge we set out own goals but exercise I was thinking something like we all aim for a set of exercises each night? (I'm thinking 50 sit ups, 20 push ups and 5 burpees and 30 seconds on plank?) we don't want to make it too difficult for the members who might not be as fit but still make it a workout. Thoughts on that challenge?

    I will be 30 in October 2013, count me in!
    I think challenges or a daily/weekly exercise is a great idea

    Happy monday all :)
    Day one
    50 sit-ups - was struggling at 30 but got there!
    20 push ups- finished but defiantly the hardest thing for me
    5 burpees - check
    30 seconds of plank- check

    Great start but I'm excited to see when things start not being so hard and I don't have to break up the 20 pushups into sets of five:)
    Enjoy your day everyone!

    Can I join in? I'll be 30 in February 2014. I am not sure exactly where my ultimate goal is, but it will be somewhere between 130-140lbs.

    Lozze-Are you a pitcher? I used to catch in high school, aside from a brief stint as short stop. My coach thought he was a really comedian putting a lefty at short, but it didn't work out so well.

    Yes I'm a pitcher :) Have been pitching for about ten years. We play fastpitch a lot older here (you don't stop after high school :) ) LOVE the game. Playing my 25th season now.

    And of course you can join!
