49 year old mom of three, step mom of three more. All teenagers. I need to take better care of myself and look forward to accountability from you fine folks. This week's goal. 30 minutes a day of some form of activity. I sit at a desk all day so this may be a challenge but I'm up for it. I don't care if I lose any weight,…

Wait till the teenaged years!! :-)

Make your tuna or chicken salad with greek yogurt instead of mayo. It keeps better. pitas and wraps are good. bread in sandwiches tend to get soggy in a cooler. (yes I live in Texas). like CurvyToFit said, fruit. Watermelon and other choices are good to freeze the night before. I also make a mash out of cannellini beans…

Hahaha!! Got day two of the 30 day squat challenge done. Drink water like a camel today!!

Nice big family, tonedby46. I too have a big family. I have 12 year old boy/girl twins and a 17 year old son, my husband has 17 year old boy/girl twins and a 23 year old daughter. We are the new Brady's (I need an Alice). They are all MY kids. the younger steptwins are at my house 1/2 of the time as they share a true 50/50…

Hey Charlie003. I use my lunch hour and right after the kids go to bed. There are tons of short but effective workouts out there to try. I have just started to take the time for myself as well. I walk the dog with my daughter after dinner. It gives us time to do something one on one and then some form of exercise after…

Welcome catjan! Day 1 of the squat challenge done!! Feeling good!

Even with Mother's Day treats I am down .4 on the scale. Hubby and I are starting the 30 day squat challenge today. I'm looking forward to doing something good for my body and getting my husband involved.

Same here, Mike. My kids complain that my iced tea isn't sweet enough. I don't do soda either, and rarely alcohol of any kind.

Jennifer Aniston, she's only 3 years younger than me.

Awesome!! Thank you for this. Sun is shining today.. I'm taking a walk during my lunch break.

I lost a pound this past week. I think that is terrific! My life is pretty stressful right now and a loss is a loss!!

Add me!

Needs a "like" button. Congratulations!

Sun is shining today, so today's goal is to ramp up water and walk on my lunch break.

Mom of 3, stepmom of 3. add me. I've started on a new fitness quest. Making time for ourselves is the hardest but one of the most important things we can do for our kids.

this challenge gave me a 2 pound loss. I'm still in for April. Feeling motivated!!

I spent the weekend at a B & B with the hubby. Gained 2 pounds but I'm not letting that discourage me. No regrets. Loved the alone time with my sweet husband, but getting my focus back this week. Look out world, here I come!!

Exactly what I was going to say. Blast out the negative thoughts with awesome music and drown them in sweat!!

This is me to a T. I am 48, 5'3 and 130 Lbs. Since getting married I have slowly put on weight. Even though my husband loves me the way I am, I know I will feel better about myself if I lose 10 pounds and build some muscle. I have started an office fitness challenge and the other participants give me grief about my…

Got home last evening, fixed dinner for the family, did two loads of laundry, set up and performed my own circuit workout. Chased my son up the stairs for laughing at me. I feel energized today!! the office challenge is going well. Today I have challenged the other ladies to laps around the building during lunch. Weather…

Count me in. I've started a fitness challenge at the office. I MUST win!! Looking to lose 15 lbs.

Can I still join?

Please add me. I'm 48, 5'3" and need to drop about 15 pounds. More than the lower number on the scale I need to get back into weight training. I just want to be healthy again. I have young (12 year old twins and a 17 year old) children and want to be active for them. I need all the help I can get. Husband has naturally…

I love the lunch time workout. I too use that time. I can get a solid 30 minutes in. I have mastered the 5 minute shower. Eat at my desk when I get back. No time taken away from the family in the evenings.

I found a gym close to work and go during my "lunch time". I can get there, change, slam out a 30-35 minute workout, take a quick shower and back to the office in an hour. Then just eat at my desk.

Add me, I'm 48 and just getting started on this journey.
