    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:

    Hi Everyone!

    I kind of fell off the posting wagon a couple weeks ago, so i'm trying to get back at it. I've been doig pretty well with my workouts and food and am progressing little by little. I am in my second week of P90X. Today is pushups and pullups day, so I'll report back later.

    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!

    i really suck at the regular push-ups so i decided to check out the wall ones... here is a very good video that explains them (at the end of the video), it also has 3 other easy excercises for your arms, you can use pantyhose if you don't have a rubber band... pilates rocks! :drinker:

    I'd like to join please?! I am at 236.6 as of Wednesday. I can easily change my weigh in days to Friday morning though! What's this weeks challenge?? I think my husband might join too.

    We are at the Gym every other day, so adding an extra exercise we can do together will be nice!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Nothing wrong with that question. It is not set in stone that you have to do a certain # per set, However, 10 per set seems to be a good amount and seems to be the one most used. By the way Welcome:flowerforyou:

    wow, how do you come with these ideas, awest :smile: i didn't even know jumping jacks exist... this last week was very short, only like 3-4 days since i got my last challenge, i only did like 10 push-ups and i was going to try the wall ones and back to the real ones and now week is over... anyway i will still do it cos i hate feeling so useless at some kind of exercise :angry: now let's try these jumping jacks...

    Hello everyone. Just checking in. I don't know how else to check in so I'm guessing this is the right way.

    I didn't weigh in this morning so, I'll post my weight tomorrow. My first goal in the next 4 weeks is to lose AT LEAST 4-5 pounds. We'll see how it goes. I'll also post how many Jumping Jacks tonight. Talk to everyone soon. Hope everyone is doing well!!
