Thank you for having this group! I’ll be 57 in September and would sure like to walk off some weight and not get so winded with every darn walk. I took my dogs on a walk today. Only .75 mile and we were all exhausted afterward! Would love to be able to walk them once a day (one of them is quite pudgy like me) and do a…

I’m counting on the first week being the hardest. Bet it gets better from here on out!

March 1 starting weight: 163.4 8: 162.1 15: 22: 29: April 5: 12: 19: 26: May 1 final weigh in: Down a little. I would’ve liked more. Guess it’s better than gaining tho.

I did log all of my food today. Often I try to fool myself thinking I won’t log it and maybe it won’t count. Ridiculous! I did do a Leslie Sansone walk video this afternoon. 1 mile in 15 mins. That’s so minimal for many, but wouldn’t you know my right hip was hurting and also my left knee. Not terrible but enough for me to…

March 1 starting weight: 163.4 8: 15: 22: 29: April 5: 12: 19: 26: May 1 final weigh in: Have had kids & grandkids here all weekend. Everyone leaves this morning. Hope to get on the treadmill or walk the dogs for at least 30 mins this afternoon. Counting on this being a successful challenge for us all! Good luck!

Yes please! My husband is retiring April 30th and we have a trip (racetrack and then the beach) in the middle of May. Would love to hear what everyone is doing to try to lose that weight! Today was my first “lower carb” day. Not great, but less carbs than normal, after a polite lecture by my doc this morning. Other than…

I went to the doc yesterday and turns out I have the flu. :( I did get the flu shot and I guess that’s the only reason I’m not much sicker. But still pretty weak. Will resume working on burpees in a few days. Love seeing y’alls posts!

Good job you SammyDee! I didn’t get anything in. Kept my grandson last week when he had a fever and was sick, and in the night I woke up with a sore throat and congestion. :(. I’ve been taking maximum amounts of airborne. Counting on tomorrow being better. Awesome that you’re making memories with your grandaughter!

Did 3 pretty pathetic burpees today. Did yoga and 8 mins on the treadmill. My body is sore but at least it has reason to be. Sure looking forward to when I feel stronger and not so pathetic. 😉. I’m pumped that I haven’t given up! Thanks for doing this group or I wouldn’t have even tried to do burpees today.

Jan 2: 2 “almost” burpees. I can’t hop them like I used to. Mostly big steps back and up again. I did 6 mins on the treadmill at 2.9 mph, up from 3 mins yesterday. My husband and I did an online yoga class. First one ever! I have sissy wrists and had to make adjustments. I do feel good tho, that I did something instead of…

I’m in! I hope to do 1 burpee a day too. Would be wonderful if I could surprise myself by doing more! I hope to gain strength to get up off the floor once I get down to play with grandkids. It’s terrible to have to depend on some stable furniture nearby to help me up. :( Thanks for starting this challenge!

Annie - I’d love to join! I like seeing your progression. I keep thinking if I just start and then add a little bit each day it would add up. I’m terrible at saying “I’ll start tomorrow” tho, and it doesn’t happen. So happy to see this group! Thank you for starting it! I’m currently almost 5’1” and 167 lbs. we are having…

Thanks for posting this! It’s been good encouragement to me.

I’m not sure how you figure your starting weight. I was 185 a few years ago at my highest. My current weight is 167.9. I’d LOVE to actually be down by 20 lbs by Dec 1! So I guess my goal weight is 147. I’m only 5’ tall so it’s not like I carry it well. One of my big problems is like I can get down on the floor to play with…

I’m in! Thanks for setting this up!
