Hi All, I'm currently working on the lower body. I'm doing 150 squats 50 lunges, 100 side leg raise, 50 donkey kicks and 150 crunches as an added bonus to my mid section. I will be doing this 5-7 days a week up until Valentines Day! If you have any suggestions feel free to add them below.

make sure once the lunges and squats get easy that you start holding some extra weights.
doing them will be great with body weight to start out, but increasing the weights as you go will improve your results.0 -

Sounds like a great workout. I am aiming to improve my arms, mid section, and lower body. I will try this as well!!0

This sounds great - but like alot of work (which isn't bad). However, I recommend doing some Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Bench presses, push-ups, and or chin-ups.
(or buy the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women by Lou Schuler for about $10 on Amazon). And eat a clean diet...
And then you will have amazing everything on your body (can't spot reduce) as the fat melts away!
Again, hope I didn't just burst your bubble. I just want to encourage all women everywhere to lift heavy weights!!!! You will look awesome if you do!0 -
do you space them out? cuz i can't even do 1/3rd of that. If not how long did it take you to get to that many?0

That is great!!! Have you heard of Dirty dogs? They are similar to donkey kicks. When you are down on all four, lift your leg to the side like a dog that is about to pee on the pole, once your leg is up, then extend your leg out to the side and then bring it back in without your knee touching the floor, then repeat. That really helps the top of the glute. It burns like crazy!!! I usually do 3 sets of 12 reps.Keep up the great work.0

those are all great suggestions! My husband and I recently joined a gym and I have a weight loss goal of 68 pounds over the next 6-12 months with the help of my Doctor too. Are there any suggestions you can offer me? And what the heck are donkey kicks?!!0

Great game plan!
If this seems like to much for the average MFP'er, split them up and do half in the morning and the other half before bedtime. =]0 -
Add some deadlifts, squat thrusts, and planks. The stronger your core, the stronger your legs will get.
I really like this workout too:
