    Congrats Monica!

    Sorry Wantabe - I forgot to respond about an "oblique crunch"... basically any crunch that targets the obliques (sides) so you can do a crunch with one ankle on the other knee, and then your crunch up to the opposite side. Or you can do a regular crunch, and just crunch it off to the side.

    Hope that helps!

    Check in time.

    I am still at 100 to 150 crunches a day and I do almost 80 lunges. Having a hard time with the pushups, my back hurts doing even the girl ones. :( Anyways lost 3 more pounds and 1 inch. So I am officially in the 140's (148 to be exact) and 37 inches. YEAH ME! How is everyone else a doing?

    OK, so may join but wondering-(newbie here) if I have to worry about the calories burned doing that and having to add them to my "net calorie" intake every day? Thanks!

    Sinnette - GREAT work! :flowerforyou:

    Goofball... I figured 80 calories was fair (using internet searches and estimating) for 50 lunges, 20 push ups, and 400 crunches... I get's me my evening snack!
    :smile:

    No change on my waist - 28" but I lost 2 lbs! I'm pushing on...
    Good luck to everyone!

    Welcome and good luck to the new people!

    Mary 24 - 2 lbs is great! I find that if my waist doesn't change the scale does, and vice versa - moving in the right direction!

    Eriny - you go girl! 200 crunches & 100 push ups!!! :tongue:

    kipper - Mondays we check in. I do them at night, when I feel like I want to snack! It is a great diversion, and I find it really gives me an energy boost!

    mygirls0507 - tell me about this pregnancy/waist issue! I'm not budging at 28" and the skin is definitely not taut and smooth... lots of talk on here about tummy tucks... it might be looking that way for me! :wink: (btw - I also have two babes '05 and '07 - keeps us busy):smile:
