    Hi all! Uh..........I got discouraged and stopped coming on here.....and working out for that matter. But I've kept up with getting off the soda, and drinking more water!! I think I've had more water in the last few weeks than I had all last year :laugh: :laugh: J/K.
    I missed the squat challenge and the jog in place. I think I'll just try those this week as my 'pick your own challenge'. Maybe I'll throw the pushups in too. Last week and yesterday, I've been doing my elliptical, which I love.....but I think I'm ready to add more to my workout.
    Are we still weighing in....on Fridays, was it?

    Yep 50!! You have to push yourself to do it.This is something I want so badly for myself that I have overcome so many things that I wasn't able to do before that I can do so much better now.I stay focused,dedicated and committed to my goals.Do I have bad days?Sure I do but I ddon't let them consume me.I work it back off if I overate and then I learn my lesson not to do that again.It takes time but you will learn to control the things that used to consume your life .Like for me and most people here its FOOD:mad: You can do this just aim for the stars.:flowerforyou:

    Still 100 is great! I used to do them like that until my DH, he lifts a lot, showed me form, it's taken sometime to get up there. I started with 10 lb dumb bells.

    Push ups are a great idea!

    GREAT JOB EVERYONE! :drinker:
    I love logging on and seeing what everyone has accomplished. It pushes me to do better.

    Plus I like lifting simple exercise ideas, as walking is about as creative as I get.

    This week I"m trying to tone up my mid section. If anyone is interested there is a great video on youtube put up by SparkPeople. Just type in "ab work out" and its the first one to come up. It's about 14 minutes long and I didn't know how useful it really was until I woke up sore all over this morning! It's very simple, quick and most importantly effective!

    Have a great day!:smile:

    Hi Ladies! I'd like to join you if you don't mind... I'm currently at 271. I'll start the push up thing tomorrow... I think I'll be doing the wall push ups as well - I know I'm not strong enough to do real push ups and my knees are not ready for "girl push ups" LOL

    So, in reading through this thread I read at least one poster did 2 hours of cardio? How do you do it? I'm so proud of myself for doing an hour today... Do you do 2 hours at once or at 2 different times of the day?

    Welcome to the group:flowerforyou: And yes I do 2 hours of cardio straight no breaks.It works for me because if I didn't do the 2 hours straight I wouldn't get it done because of my 2 toddler girls.You should be proud of yourself for getting 1 hour in everyday.Pat yourself on the back thats an accomplishment.I didn't always do 2 hours in fact when I first started here I could only do 15 minutes of exercise in one day.Now I am doing wwayyyy more than what I ever imagined I would be able to do.I push my self to reach for the stars because I know I can reach them and losing weight is one of my stars to grab and I 'm doing it and so can you.:flowerforyou:

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Checking in here... Today I walked at 3.5 mph for 20 minutes at a medium incline on the treadmill. That felt so good that 2 hours later I did 20 more at a low incline at 3.0 mph. Then I did 20 girl push ups (bent knee), 10 crunches, 10 leg lifts and 10 pelvic tilts. I haven't gotten down on the floor willingly in a long time... it was too hard to get up... it was no problem today. I'll probably do more push ups and crunches later... but wanted to log in what I've done before I forget!
