    I am going to run at least 3 days a week, swim on my off days. Additionally, I'm going to start strength training.

    My plan is to finally (hopefully!) complete the C25K program I've started twice before, but never completed due to illness or lack of ambition. (That last one is embarassing!) I'm on week 5 with the program and it's at the kicking my butt stage, but I keep at it. On the days I don't do the C25K, I'm on the elliptical machine at my gym and alternate programs each week, as well as doing intervals on the machine, so my body won't get used to what I'm doing. I just started to use weight machines today in hopes of building more firmness and muscle to help burn the fat off. Last week I exercised 6 days. I want to take a day off to let my body recover.

    My plan and hopefully it works, is to run with a weighted vest of 10lbs. Interval training up to 2.5 miles per day

    I plan on riding my bike minimum of 30 minutes per day, but goal is to ride 60 minutes per day, for at least 5 days of the week.

    I'm going to go to Zumba twice a week, cardio and weights at the gym three times a week and get the bike out as well hopefully. Everybody else seems to have really great plans for how to lose the weight and so much more motivated than I thought I was

    My plan is to do 30 Day Shred and TurboFire every other day. I know it's supposed to be an everyday kind of thing and I will do that eventually but right now I'm just starting out and I'm already sore so I'm giving a day in between where I'll let my body rest and focus on strength training rather than cardio.

    Thursday - Rest day/yoga/light walking
    Friday - Cardio 30 minutes & Upper body

    Something like that(: I'll definitely have to switch it up after a few weeks though

    I am working my way up to finishing these MMS conditioning DVDs I have. They are BRUTAL, but the movements are fun and make me feel powerful. Also speed walking 1 mile, 2x a day.

    Found a decent free app, Workout Trainer. Tons of free workouts, different levels. I've only done some strength training with it, but it looks like there are some decent cardiovascular routines.

    Been weighing myself on Fridays, so to officially start the challenge:

    Today's weight: 210 lb
    Sept 4 Goal weight: 180

    Happy moving, gang!

    I'm working my way through a walking program that is for 52 weeks. I'm on week 8, plus the 4 weeks that I did to get in enough shape to start the program. It includes walking 6 days a week. Each day is a little different amount of time, but all is working towards walking 45 minutes.

    I joined a four week bootcamp that meets three days a week. I really want 20 pounds gone by the end of summer.
