Ahhhhhhhh, wish I could but that puts too much pressure on my knees.:ohwell: Thanks anyway.

Wow, pretty then, pretty now! :happy: You look fantastic...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Wow, no one is using a specific food plan? Oh well, I thought I'd be getting support here. Have a great day and good luck to you all.

The chocolate with the peanut butter is wonderful. However, to cut calories and fat I use PB2 . I also use the chocolate Shakeology.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I haven't really given this much thought, but it seems that setting goals is a positive thing to do in ALL areas of our lives so why not here. I'm going to do it for every 10lbs that I lose but will have to give some thought to what the rewards will be. I love the idea of the bracelet but love the idea of…

Wow, what a wonderful accomplishment!!!! You should be so very proud of yourself and a wonderful role model for your children. Keep up the good work and thanks for being an inspiration to others.

Credit where credit is due! 40 lbs is NOTHING to sneeze at. Job well done!!!

Good for you!!!!!! You should not let the scale determine your success. You are doing great!

Wow, congrats!!!! You look like the younger brother of the guy in the first pic!!!!!!! :happy: You must be so proud of yourself! Keep up the good work.

I, too, see so many children who are overweight and/or obese and many times it is not b/c of health problems! Unfortunately, too many parents have forgotten that they are the parents and allow the children to rule the household. The children yell at them and tell them what they will and will not eat and the parents go…

I'm in!!!!

Wow, great job. You look great!

Sounds good, I'm in. I'll do them when I get home from work.

I'm in. This is just the challenge that I need. SW - 209.5 CW - 209.5 GW - 199.5 8/1/12 - 209.5 8/8/12 - 8/15/12 8/22/12 8/29/12 So if, no, when I reach my goal for Aug. I will be in "Onederland"!!! WooHoo!!!!! Good luck everyone!

I'm a picky eater so when I saw the topic "Greek Yogurt..." I said no way. Then I decided that I really need to venture out so I tried it. OMG, it is absolutely delicious!!!! Great taste and the chicken is so tender. Thanks so much. It will become a staple in my house. Hope that I don't OD on it! :laugh:

I'm with you! I'm a morning person and I, too, am up at 4:00 to get my workout in before heading off to work. #1, it really helps me start my day feeling great. #2, when I get home I USUALLY find a reason NOT to work out and last, but not least, IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS WHAT I DO OR WHEN I DO IT!!!! Have a great day everyone…

What a GREAT challenge! I'm in. I'll start with a goal of 180min. so that I can feel the rush of success and then I'll go from there. Just started the 10 min. Trainer program and I do 3 of the exercises daily. Wk 1 - Wk of July 30th Mon. Total Body,Cardio, Lower - 30 min. Tues. Body Weight 15 min. (Women's Health) Hip Hop…

Khenderson, Don't like to cook much so these ideas are right down my alley! :wink: What are Panko crumbs?

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions and your encouragement! Have a great day!:smile:

He may or may not be trying to sabbatage your success BUT, when all is said and done, you are in control. This is about you and what you are doing for yourself. You go girl, do your thing! It's all about you. He can support you or not, you will succeed!!!!!!

Great job, you look FANTASTIC!!!!!

So far, so good: 10/3 - 45 min. (30 min WATP, 15 min. walking dog) 10/4 - 45 min. (30 min. WATP, 15 min. walking dog) 10/5 - 45 min. (30 min., WATP, 15 min. walking dog) 10/6 - 15 min. - walking dog 10/7 - 10/8

Soooooooo, the 1st week, weight wise, was a bust. I actually gained 1.5lbs. Ate all that I shouldn't have!!! Ok, no-brainer, next week I have to get it in gear. The good thing is that I got my walking in (8 miles), and most of my push ups. Got to work on my water. Have a great week end!

I've done 2 miles per day on Sat., Mon., and today. Sun. is my rest day. I'm working on those pushups. Getting the water in is the most difficult for me. :( Hope everyone is doing well.

Good way to start the fall season. I'm in! I'm shooting for 30 min. (or more) a day for this week. Mon - 40 min., Tues. - 40 min.

I am so excited about this challenge. 10lbs would be great so I really need the motivation. I'm going to do my walk now, my knees can't handle jogging. :( And I'll get those push ups in. Will the push ups help me to get Michelle Obama arms? lol

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, who doesn't love a good challenge?!? I'm in. I'll PM you and send my weight in on Fri., the 16th. Thanks for starting this!
