    Thanks for starting this group! I'm psyched for the challenges - anything to make this journey more interesting...

    Today's 30 minutes will get folded into my weekly softball game. This weekend should be easy to get 30 minutes in each day, as I'm going on a trip with family and will be walking all day starting tomorrow through Sunday.

    Just not sure how I'm going to squeeze 30 minutes in on a daily basis once I get back into my "real life". I work full time and have a 3 year old daughter who clings to me as soon as I get home every day. Honestly, that's the best part of my day, so I don't want to give up the time we have together.

    Maybe I'll try walking for 30 minutes as soon as I get home. I can tell the little one that if she wants to hang out with Mommy, she can hop in her stroller and we can tour the neighborhood together. Wonder if I could pull that off...

    I've been doing 30 Day Shred since June 1. Today is day 7 and I will be completing it tonight before bed. Since it is only a 20 min program, I will add some calisthenics at the end.
  • Hi, I am glad I came across this group and challenge. I struggle with sticking to any one thing for an extended period, so I hope this will help me to build a new habit. 30 minutes everyday... Yesterday I did the video... Start walking at home 3 miles with Leslie Sansone and today I did the 2 mile walk which was 30 minutes. If anyone is interested in doing the video, its on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBgB_cqDiXs&feature=BFa&list=PLFC10D62CB1871C8F.

    I feel great after exercising and I am motivated to eating healthy the rest of the so that I don't cancel the gains of my hard work. I want to lose between 24 and 30 pounds over the next 3 months, so my aim is to lose a minimum of 2lbs per week. I think I have to work harder, but we will see how I do with 30 minutes a day. I think I will monitor between the rest of this week and complete next week and decide if I need to add more to the workout.

    Thanks again and good luck to all!!

    Hey!!! I hope we are accomplishing the challenge today. I am ready for the next 1. :happy:
  • I have been looking for something to get me back on track. Daily is just what I need. Looking at the big picture has been keeping me on the sidelines. Maybe if I only look at one day at a time I can achieve something worth being proud of.:flowerforyou:

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for starting this chanllenge!!!! I only joined MFP on Tuesday and I'm doing great with logging my food, but today I was just looking around the sight when I came across this fantastic motivator!!! I did my 30 minute challenge by doing Wii Gold's Gym Dance Workout in two 15 sessions. The second workout really had sweat running down my face and back at the end. Loved it!!! :love:

    Again, Thank you!! And everyone keep up the great work!!

    a walk with your Daughter is a fantastic idea, I enjoy including my boys in my walk it is great bonding time and they keep me entertained with the things they say during the walk, I even get some running in as they thnk it is fun to be pushed fast lol

    Hi, I'm new to this, just started on tuesday. I need to lose 53 lbs. I'm not much of a techno, never used the commie this much but am really looking forward to seeing and doing these challenges. I can walk for quite a long time, so that's not a challenge to me so Im going to try to walk/jog for 20 mins and 10 mins on my exercise bike tomorrow. I also need to work on my low cal diet and start weighing things. Up til now I've just been coasting but from tomorrow - i'll be getting my head on. I'm expecting to lose 1-2lb per week. My goal is to be Fit, Fab and Fifty by 15 Jan.2013. I've got a lot of work to do but I'm sure, with all this support, I WILL do it. Looking forward to meeting members

    90 YEAH!
    phew...not easy after seeing my trainer for the first time in weeks yesterday and basically had to drive to work using my teeth today (you know, because my arms aren't working, yeah). It was hard to motivate myself to do ANYTHING today much less work out, but I wanted to be successful in this 1st challenge :wink:

    Just finish my work out!! Did 1 hour at the gym treadmill and weight training..
  • YAY!!!! GOOD JOB EVERYONE! REMEMBER all challenges will benefit you! Your body will tell you to stop but you have to push through it! They wont be easy thats why they are called "Challenges". We didnt get Fluffy over night, so getting Firm will take a while to, but if you really want it, YOU can make it happen. :)

    Hi! I know I'm responding to an old post, but I just joined MFP yesterday, & this group looked like a good place to begin changing my habits. So I went to the gym & did the recumbant bike for 30 minutes. Definitely worked up a sweat, but it wasn't anything too overwhelming. I feel like this is something I could stick with over the long haul, unlike other exercise programs I've tried in the past, which made me feel like I was gonna die or pass out. Now I will check out the second challenge. Thanks for starting this group!:smile:
