    OK, HERE GOES: WEIGHT = 194 LBS., HEIGHT = 5'4", WAIST = 42.25", HIPS = 44", AGE = 44. I HAVE BEEN LOGGING FOOD INTAKE, KEEPING IT UNDER CONTROL, EXERCISING, (I NEVER USE TO), AND STILL HAVE NOT LOST ONE POUND NOR ONE INCH IN OVER 4 WEEKS! I'M VERY FRUSTRATED! IT'S HARD NOT TO GIVE UP AND EAT WHAT I FEEL LIKE AND AS MUCH AS I WANT OF IT. IT'S HARD TO SPEND MY TIME EXERCISING, WHEN THERE'S SO MANY OTHER THINGS I NEED TO DO AND WANT TO DO. I'M VERY DISCOURAGED, BUT I DON'T DARE QUIT. HOPING THIS CHALLENGE WILL MOTIVATE ME TO PUSH MYSELF HARDER AND TOTALLY CHANGE MY LIFESTYLE FOREVER!

    I've never posted on a message board or done a challenge but I'm bored with my routine and this might be fun! So I'd like to participate too. Is it too late? I'll post my stats tonight and complete the day's challenge. Worst case I get some extra workout in!

    Hi again,

    So I finished the exercises for today and 30 of my burpees. The only exercise I couldn't find was the "swimmers." Can you post a description of this exercise or a link to the youtube demo? Thank you! For today, I substituted push-ups for the sets of swimmers. I hope that is okay, otherwise I will add them in tomorrow. Also what is a bear walk? Sorry if these are
    dumb questions, but I am new to this and super excited, so I really want to do it right!

    Hope everyone had a great first day!

    Hi Coach!!

    Can you post links that explain some of the exercises you have on here? I've never heard of a mermaid, wood chop or swimmers exercise!

    Forgot one other thing...do you want us to report daily on the challenges or only on the check in date?

    Hi ClearVisions,
    I totally get your frustration!! I've a been there/done that on that one. I eventually went to a doctor and they said that with women it can take up to 6 weeks to start seeing results for all that hard work, frustrating, but don't give up - give it another few weeks and you should see some changes! - ladyskot
