SUMMER DOLLS CHALLENGE!! (Closed Group)

OMG, I just did the plank (beginner's version) and I almost couldn't make it! I thought it was going to be easy, heck no! How are you ladies doing?

:laugh: When I looked up "beginner plank" on YouTube... the first video that came up was a pole dancing move. :laugh: I may have to try and master that one too. LOL!

Planks today were no joke at all. I couldn't do them all, but i'm determined to get them done. :explode:

Geez those puppies are hard! I haven't done planks since before I had my c-section (2 1/2 years ago)! I completed the full 2 minutes by doing 20 second intervals. My abs were super sore from starting 30 Day Shred yesterday and today. I'm sure they'll get easier soon enough Good job ladies!!!

If it's not too late to join, may I also be added?

Weight loss goal: 40 lbs

Non Scale Goal: Purchase a bra at a department store, not a specialty shop

I am 27, married, and work full time. I am looking to get fit and healthy. I am working towards my black belt in karate and would love for that to be a little easier by losing this weight. It makes it very hard for me to do what is asked of me because almost everything they ask hurts me to do it. I have not been able to purchase a bra at a regular store for about 7 years now and that would make me so happy to achieve!

i'll accept you to the challenge as i have the other two but i need your starting weight & goal weight to put you on the spreadsheet! thanks!

My starting weight is 212.2
My goal weight is 173

Thank you for adding me!

My information looks good. Planks-argh! I will master them! ;-D

I've never tried planks before so this was an entirely new experience for me. I'll definitely be fitting this into my usual work-out routine.

Hi, I know you said you closed the group, but I only joined MFP on Sunday and just saw this on my search from another user I made friends with. Is it too late to join the fun? If so, I understand and will look for another. Thanks for considering! Good luck with your goals!

Name: Ivy
Starting Weight: 153 (originally started at 195)
Goal Weight: 125
Non Scale Goal: To be able to run a mile with a good pace, and to have a flat stomach.

Intro: I am a wife and mother of two boys (5 & 7). I teach music and drama privately, as workshops, and in a school. I have diabetes and a year ago was refused refills on my medication because we lost our insurance and couldn't afford the testing the doctor wanted done. So I needed to do something drastic. I went on a diet (The 17 Day Diet) to restructure my eating habits and lifestyle. I also started doing the WII Fit every day to add to this new lifestyle. Since last April, I have gone from 195 to 153. I was using Loseit.com, but my cousin got me to switch to here on Sunday. I Love It! Looking forward to meeting new friends and encouraging all. Happy Challenge!

The planks are killing me too. Also I need to do it when my girls are in bed. My two year old likes to get on my back and drop me down to the ground!

Did 1min of planking this morning before my busy, busy day. Off to do another minute now... I WILL finish this challenge.

My 3 year old tried to jump on my back as well!
