http://mfpchallenges.blogspot.com/ This is Gary6030's blog that has the exercises and the videos. Let me know if you have any questions!!

hmmm.. my upper legs hurt in the front from the squats and stuff.. lol. But that's all so far :)

today is day one :) we should start the exercises this week. ALSO - the weekly challenge this week is everyone must log in every day, not go over target calories, and log at least 64 oz of water each day. That will earn us 5 bonus points at the end of this week :)

and Liz890...lol. I saw your name in the post and didn't put it in my msg :)

I will check with the organizer and see if he knows. Id probably log it under circuit training.

As far as team members, I have JsGordita, Junebug1010, cbear215, theburnetts1, sschey1514, mizducky4, and danyelepalmer. I have a few that haven't responded back yet :(

I would add to the "has kids/wants kids"...has to love my kids as their own. My kiddos happines is first and foremost

These all sound so good!!

now that does sound good :)

They have these fabulous spice packets by McCormick in the packaged gravy isle. My two favorites are Baja Citrus and Hawaiian Luau.. both taste absolutely awesome on salmon. Soak the piece of salmon in the mixture for a little while ( I try to do an hour or so). Place in one of the oven bags by Ziploc with a little of the…

Take small steps.. don't try to change everything all at once or you are setting yourself up for failure!!! Start with diet, then add in exercise, etc..

Absolutely!! If you like to have fun in your exercise, this is the best way...especially if you have a good teacher. Zumba is one of my favorite workouts. You might have coordination issues the first time but if you keep going, you will have it down no problem!! Have fun!!

AMEN!!!! I can give up soda, drink more water, give up snacks.. but I have YET to EVER give up my coffee trying to lose weight..lol :)

Congratulations! That must have been an awesome feeling :) Be super proud of yourself!!!!!

I would say the previous day since you didn't actually "sleep" and start a new day of calories.

Loved loved loved the art of racing in the rain...anything by Nicolas Sparks, Heather Graham, or James Patterson..

Oh yeah - and add me as a friend.. I'll keep you motivated :)

This is my third week and I've "quit" at least 5 times..lol. When I get to the point that I feel like I want to give in and have a big, fat cheeseburger, I think of my jeans I bought last year and how pi$$ed off I am that they do not fit anymore. I KNOW I can do this and so can you!! Honestly, this website has helped me…

Thanks so much!! The skinnytaste one kinda looks close to the TGIFriday's so I think I'm gonna try :)

Thanks.. I thought maybe that was so but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something :)

I already have a dumb question..lol. When I am sending a message to my team, can I do a mass message or do I have to do them individually? I tried putting a comma in between and it just didn't work.

They actually make a device that looks like bike pedals for under a desk so you can "bike" for as long as you want..you look funny sometimes but it burns some calories. I walk on my breaks and lunch too so I'm getting some movement.

that's quite close to me..54 and 145...soooo only 190 calories?? Holy hannah..I feel worse than that...lol

You can definitely see the progress.. great job!!!!

I bought this video myself - waiting for it to come in the mail. I'm hoping to see some better results than me doing my own workouts at home!!

So I should be doing the ab work first, then the cardio basically? Or should I be working ALL muscles?

I agree! My kids go along with me on my power walks and when my three year old just "cant take it" anymore, she gets a piggy back ride to add resistance to my walk. We also do the Just Dance games on the wii - there is a just sweat area that tracks your goals- I sweat, they dance, and we all are happy at the end of the…

DONT GIVE UP!!! I definitely feel the same way sometimes :) I've wanted to "quit" about 6 times since I started two weeks ago but I know the only way I'm going to be happy with myself is if I really give this a total shot. Try to drink water when you are feeling super hungry like that, go outside and "play", clean,…
