I am so excited to see so many of you ladies, seriously...I'm geeking out about it! haha I have a SERIOUS goal to work towards at the end of June...my husband is coming home from a VERY long, very lonely 9 month deployment in Afghanistan not long after the 30th and I wanna be smokinnnnnn for him :D Woo! Is it Sunday yet? I…

Feel free to check in as often as you'd like, but try to check in at least weekly! I wanna see progress, ya'll! No excuses, no slacking...commit yourselves to do this program and we will ALL finish it strong and look fabulous for it!!! I am so excited for ALL of us! :glasses: :flowerforyou: :wink:

Hey, as close as you guys can get is good enough for me! So glad to have all of you join! What size weights are all of you going to be using? I am hoping to really tone up my arms...I've lost 45 pounds, but my arm fat still doesn't quit waving when I do...yikes! I am using 3lb weights because I don't have a whole lot of…

Great! Good to see some fellow shredders-to-be :drinker:

Anything Gaga and Tik Tok by Ke$ha...Kanye's Workout Plan is a good one too haha! Anything with a good fast thumping beat gets me goin! :drinker:

I'm loving reading how all of you have changed your habits! GREAT job! I'm so proud of each and every one of you both for what you have accomplished and what you are accomplishing now! :flowerforyou:

Skinny Wednesday went well here today! Didn't double my exercise, but I did double my water intake and exercised some serious willpower! I ALSO ordered the 30 Day Shred and a Polar F6 HRM (thanks for the inspiration, Sebastiansmommy!) and some hand weights. Toned up body, here I come! See you all on Saturday for the SSC :)…

Checking in...again. Haven't worked out yet! The little one is taking her nap then she and mommy are headed to the gym! Gonna push myself on the elliptical today AND do some strength training to tone up these flabby muscles of mine :grumble: Had almost 2 quarts of water today so far...shooting for a gallon today, maybe…

Ditto on the grocery shopping! I am a very discerning shopper now lol

I agree! This is another thing I have learned. Calories were of no consequence to me as well, I ate as I pleased and then wondered why in God's name I was gaining all this darned weight! I also measure, and my friends tease me for it but I like to know exactly what my serving sizes are and how much I get for so many…

Good morning all! I got to sleep in today and now I am off to eat a yummy breakfast! Gonna double that water intake today...I've got my 1/2 gallon water jug all filled up and ready to be emptied twice today! Gonna go and workout like a crazy person at the gym! Gonna be a good girl and eat my exercise calories today but NOT…

I am in! I didn't get a chance to hit the gym today and I wasn't so good with the water intake, so I need to double up tomorrow! Thanks again for this Fab :)

Doing well here! Drinking at least 2 quarts of water today, almost done with that and it's only 5:30! Willpower has seen better days as I had some Cinnabon minis today (and they were goooood :bigsmile: ) but I picked out the ones with the least calories and ate them as my "lunch" and then went and worked them off at the…

SO glad to find this post! I just purchased some Special K Protein Shakes today to recharge after a workout. I noticed that several people asked a question that I didn't notice get answered: If I am doing more cardio than weight training, are protein shakes still necessary? If I missed this answer, sorry! So much info to…

That is fantastic! Congrats!!!

I am in! What are the goal, same as last SSC? Double water = you got it! Double willpower = No problem! Double exercise = Sounds great!

Shoot...my pictures aren't working! Why not??? :(

I would definitely skip it...I was in your position a few weeks ago and I just skipped my weigh-in altogether that week. Then when I weighed myself the next week I felt like I had a HUGE loss, it was fun :laugh:

Healthy Choice Complete Meals! Easy, quick, and a whole meal. Yeah yeah, they're frozen. But you're looking for something quick and easy and small, and these work :happy:

This is exactly why said mutual friend and I don't talk much. I'd say it's more of a mutual person we both happen to know :wink:

Jess - Glad this was motivating for you! Don't lose hope! You can doo eeeeeeet :happy: :flowerforyou: So far so good on Skinny Wednesday...I had to skip my run today (muscles were MUCH too sore) but I went for a 2.2 mile walk with the little one today! I'll do another one after dinner to stick to the challenge. As far as…

Jdelot - You nailed her right on the head...she certainly is that type! I knew her long enough/well enough to know that she likes to put others down. Thanks guys...I feel just fine about what she said. I know I've done well and lost 40lbs and am full of willpower! Go me! :laugh:

I have taken to running outside while visiting my in-laws (which is where I'm at now) but when I'm at home I have my 14 month old to take with me, and I HATE to push a jogging stroller. I run on the treadmill at home (my husband is deployed, so there's nobody to watch her EVER so I can go run outside, which is a bummer)…

Skinny Wednesday off to a good start so far! Just woke up (it's 7:30 am here in California) and haven't eaten breakfast yet. Weighed myself and I've lost 0.8lbs since my last weigh-in! I'm resolving to drink 4 cups of water before every meal today :) Good luck everyone!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I am a C25k graduate...stick with it, everybody! This program really works! I was never a runner before I started C25k and I just finished a 5k a week or so ago. I'm now running half an hour outdoors almost every day that I can get out! It's AWESOME! Good luck everyone!

I'm in! Double water Double exercise Double willpower!!! Let's do this :D

I am 5'4" medium bone structure and my goal weight is 130. My current weight is 138 so I'm almost there :)

Girl you KNOW I was thinking the same damn thing when I saw that picture! You can come and build something in my front yard shirtless anytime you'd like....just don't tell my husband :laugh:

That is so exciting!!! Good for you and congratulations!

I can't say exactly for security reasons, but we'll say mid-summer :D
