    Wow I haven't posted in a while! Oops. :/
    Well, update on me, I'm feeling a lot less depressed and am jumping right back on track. Healthy eating and as much exercise as I can. I'm also starting weights in hopes of toning and jacking up my metabolism. Gonna try my best to get these last 15 lbs off before my bday! It's only 7 weeks so it's kind of a stretch, but if I could get within 5 lbs I would be STOKED.

    How's everyone else?

    Lori - look at that new pic! You're teeny!!

    That's awesome that you're at least trying! That's what these challenges are for. Pushing yourself! Keep up the great work!

    That's awesome! :)


    Not gonna lie, this challenge is killing my butt and thighs!
    (ETA: NSV: During this workout I was able to do 5 full good form push-ups on the floor!! the other 25 I had to do on my knees but that is definitely progress! When I started this site at the end of last december I couldn't even do one that wasn't on my knees!)

    On a side note, my friend is getting married tonight and I'm bought a new dress and am going all out for it :) Can't wait to post some pics for you guys!

    Hhhhhiiieeee! :)

    So i've been looking at a bunch of different challenge ideas, but does anyone have anything they wanna work on specifically? I.e. abs, butt, etc?

    Just let me know, otherwise i'll be posting next week's challenge, tomorrow!

    I'm looking to focus on thighs, abs, and upper arms now that I've pretty much met my GW. :) But I am open to other challenges as well! :)

    Ok, I will admit I didn't get the challenge done 5 times this week. Hell, I am still sore from last time I did it!! I will do again tomorrow but I did get on the treadmill today and managed to do a faster walking pace for longer, a faster run pace for 2 1/2 min each (x5 or 6... I can 't remember.Let me tell ya... as a big girl, that made me pretty proud! A new time record for me for length of run times)

    I pretty much need to work on everything... many times just need more motivation to get off my *kitten* in general.

    I am feeling pretty sassy today with the weight loss this week. Not what I hoped for but at least just over 30 lbs total lost now. Headed for my lowest weight in ??? years in another 6.6 lbs. (I lost 50 lbs about 6 years ago and slowly gained most of it back when I stopped walking with the girls. My nemesis weight approaches as I couldn't get below it no matter how much I exercised (but didn't count calories then..))

    ETA-can I have the link to the new pic? I seem to still have all of the original names on mine.

    awesome loss and progress!! I'm in a similar boat as you are... i'm about 5lbs away from being below my lowest weight, from when I had lost weight a few years back but slowly started gaining again :( .... but go us! we are definitely moving in the right direction now! :D

    @Szimba-Thanks! And yes, we are going in the right direction with the right tools for me this time. I am not anxious, per se, about the nemesis weight but it is in my mind that it's coming up.

    I had a lovely NSV last night as my mother was very excited about the weight I have lost and is very supportive of my new lifestyle especially now she sees some results. It was great to hear her give so many compliments. I am hoping that seeing my success that she will start to look at her diet etc and make some changes. Guess we'll have to see! I won't push her. Goodness knows we all have to come to this point on our own!

    It's Sunday pretty ladies, and you know what that means....
    NEW CHALLENGE! :)

    I figured since the team challenge was so fun last time, let's do something like that again! There's 12 of us (Jenny is back, and actually needs to be put on the banner!) so I think I'm going to break us up in to 3 groups of 4. I wrote down everyone's names and drew them at random, so the groups are totally mixed up!

    Team Seafoam (sorry Ashley :wink: )
    -Me
    -Emma
    -Rebecca
    -Martina

    Team Turquoise
    -Melanie
    -Ashley
    -Jenny
    -Sam

    Team Lavender
    -Amanda
    -Maxie
    -Lori
    -Sarah

    So, now that you know the teams, I guess you'd like to know the actual challenge..
    It's not hard, but it's a numbers game. Whatever team can do the most push ups, crunches, and squats wins! No cheating! ;)
    Just report how many of each you do and i'll keep track of them for you!
    Any questions? Just let me know! The challenge starts tomorrow, so get on it!

    I am STOKED!! This exactly the motivation I needed to do these types of exercises. Good luck everyone! :)

    Is it going to be the most of all of them combined or most of each workout individually?

    Lets go Team Turquoise!
