    I'm concentrating on cardio as well this month and I have to tell you about something that I did for the first time yesterday! I pulled up some Tae Bo videos online and worked out for a whole hour! It may actually be the most INTENSE cardio that I've ever done. I had heard about them and really wanted to try it out before I went out and invested in the program. I must have burned anywhere from 600-700 calories (according to MFP)! It was amazing and I'll definitely be doing more of it. :bigsmile:
    I love taebo!! That's how I've been getting my cardio in!! Of course I am so out of shape that my Favorite Taebo is still sitting on the shelf. I couldn't finish the workout. UGH!! But I did find a "Believers Workout Taebo" on netflix and I am loving it. He really pushes you to finish the workout!!!

    He really does, doesn't he?! I did the Abs bootcamp yesterday and whoaaa...it was amazing! I get so pumped up just thinking about the workouts - lol, is that weird?! Oh well, so be it. :laugh:

    Good morning everyone! I haven't posted at all this week. Just read through some of the posts and it sounds like everyone is doing a great job so far! Keep up the good work!

    I've lost 3 lbs since I started this challenge and I'm pretty excited about it! I've been trying very hard to get this stubborn weight off!

    Welcome to our summer challange kvcarden, johnsjackie, Doitforbaby120808, JenUB, vanimami, magglett, Susanhs6, musicisluvxo, bcdavis! Good luck on your weight loss journey! I wish you the best :happy:

    Are you guys gearing up for the third weigh in tomorrow???? I love and dread Fridays at the same time.
    My week so far has been going great even it's TTOTM I don't think I've gained any, maybe a little water weight.
    Happy to report my workouts are steady and I'm being so vigilent with my diet.
    Have the biggest blister on my heel, KILLS when I'm on the treadmill sigh!

    What's new with you guys???:tongue:

    Worried about weigh in tommorrow. Had a root canal done yesterday so I didn't much! I hope I can get the motivation to do some cardio tonight. I really want to have at least lost 1.5 lbs!!! Im going to florida July 9th for a vacation and want to look great in the photos on the beach in my Post Baby Body! I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN

    Checking-in. My weight this week is 203.4. I lost only .2 pound from last week. I exercised for a total of 650 minutes this week (June 5-11). I am going to be out of town for the next 3 weeks. I hope to still make check in each Friday. It is going to be hard for me to get my exercise in since going to the gym helps me stay on track.

    Missed the weigh in last week (but had a good reason, got whisked away on a 5 year wedding anniversary trip :love: ). Unfortunately, my scale is refusing to budge.

    Starting Weight (06/01/09): 176
    Current Weight: 171
    Challenge Goal Weight: 156
    Final Goal Weight: 145
    Age: 31
    Work Out Total: 331 min

    So because of our trip, last week was a wash. No one's fault but my own, I'll take the ownership. Back on track this week, eating well and getting my exercise in. Maybe I'll see something positive on the scale next week...

    I just stated today and I am in. I weighed myself this morning and was floored. So I am back to my yogard, fruit, veggies and all that is good for me.

    Hi... the challenge was designed to last for 10 weeks, that's a healthy weight loss at 2lbs per week if you're maintaining a vigorous exercise routine and eating clean. I know it sounds like a lot but I believe we can do it.
    Sometimes drastic times mean taking aggressive steps towards reaching your healthy goal weight. It's certainly different for us all.
    Me? I'd be delighted with a 15lb weight loss, but hey- you never know right?
    We're already in week three- it can be done.
    You have to believe it can:flowerforyou:
