  • I skipped yesterday as I walked a 5K for Breast Cancer--what a wonderful event! I"m thinking of running it next year . . . I took today as a rest day as I think I'm coming down with something. Going to try to take it easy and jump back in tomorrow. I hope you are all doing well today and feeling good about the positive…
  • Did Level 2 today for the first time. I'm on day 13 and it felt pretty good. I did have to take a couple of breaks but did pretty well. I had wrist surgery last year and so the plank jacks had me a bit worried, but I was careful and it seemed fine. Looking forward to hitting that 2 week mark tomorrow, feeling good, wishing…
  • Didn't lose :( But also didn't gain :) Working out still going well, I'm sticking with the 30 DS, I'm on day 11. I've also added in some power walking/jogging a couple of evenings and feel really great afterwards, go I'm going to try to do that more often. It really is amazing how much more energy I have when I work our…
  • **** SPARTANS! **** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ==== DAY SEVEN CHALLENGE ==== ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well, for my review I'm pretty pleased with myself. I stayed under my calories (just slightly) most days and did the 30 day shred everyday as per my goal :) I'm feeling really good, lots of energy even though the…
  • just finished L1day10! Phew! Definitely getting easier to get up and with the time change, I have a quiet house to myself as I got up at the regular time :) I hit a plateau this week and was getting discouraged that I hadn't lost anything. But I redid my measurements and realized I have lost an inch of my waist in the last…
  • hanging in there, still doing the 30DS everyday, I'm on day 10 :) Getting easier every day to get up in the morning! Trying to decide when to move up to level 2, not quite sure I'm ready yet. Stuck at a bit of a plateau which was bumming me out, until I re did my measurements and realized I have lost an inch off my waist…
  • I'm doing this too :) I started early as I wanted to just get to it so I am on day 7. It is definitely getting easier, I don't feel like I'm going to die when I am done, though it is still tough to get up the stairs! Good luck all! Stay with it, my body is already changing after a week of doing it :)
  • worked out again this morning, day 7 of the 30DS and day 5 of getting up at 5:30 am to do it. It is getting easier to get up :) I didn't finish all of my calf raises either, got home and completely spaced it so I will be playing catch up too-will finish today. feeling good, I ate a little too much last night, I didn't go…
  • Day 1 was good for me :) Got most of that water in--that was a lot! I did the 30DS yesterday and today and it is getting better, I started a little early so I'm technically on day 6 ;) I wouldn't say easier, but better! I'll definitely do calf raises, I work in an office, so I will try to do them in 10 increments…
  • Love the extra challenge too, especially this one as it is one of the things I am better at :) I did my shred today and have done pretty well so far--I haven't posted my measurements on the check in thread yet but I will tonight. I noted them last night, but forgot to bring the post it to work :) I am so excited to be a…
  • I stayed the same :( but I have been doing strength and cardio, so I am hoping that I just gained some muscle. And my clothes are fitting better so that may be true :)
  • Happy Halloween everyone! I have been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for the last 4 days--whew! It is a good workout packed into a short period of time. I am feeling good, I am going to try to do it every day in November, but if I miss a couple (will likely miss Thanksgiving day) of days I'm not going to get down on…
  • I lost a pound last week too. had a rough weekend though, with family in from out of town, didn't eat as well as I should have. Back on the wagon and hoping for better this week :) good luck all!
  • Ooh--I may amend mine as well--I saw the comment about doing the 30 day shred--that is a great idea! Also with the time change (Nov 6th, I think) I will also keep getting up at the same time to work out--that is a great plan!
  • Love this! I would love to join. I have been doing well on the eating portion of being healthy, but the moving portion has been hit or miss. I would love to get myself moving this month! Name: Julie Goal: 8 lbs and to move everyday with a challenging workout 4 days a week Start Weight: now at 193, will update on the 1st…
  • I did two things I have never done--last night I tried doing the plank while I was doing push ups and situps. That is difficult! And this morning, after meaning to do it for the last week, I got up and worked out to the yoga dvd I have had for 4 years and never opened! And it was fun! I just did the quick 20 min part, but…
  • I am wearing an outfit today that I haven't been able to fit into in a year! So excited about it :) I hope you each have one motivating thing that happens for you today to remind you what all this work is for!
  • I'm down 2 lbs this week :) Slowly but surely! I hope everyone is having a good Thursday!
  • Are we supposed to weigh in today? I did, and I'm down 2 lbs :) slowly but surely . . . how is everyone doing this week?
  • Staying in :) Had dinner out last night with my book club and I was so proud--ate within my calories available, really healthy and only had one small slice of the amazing cornbread they serve to every table :) Restaurants have always been a danger zone for me but the last month since I've been working at this have been a…
  • oh, so should I delete my post? Just saw that you closed it . . . not really sure of the rules. thanks, Julie
  • I would love to try this, I think I have everything in my signature now--took me awhile to figure it out :) Currently at 195, I would like to be 174 by Christmas :)
  • Don't cry--we all start somewhere and I started (and still am) higher than you :) I did okay last week, 2 lbs lost which brings me to 15 total since I started 9/19. Hanging in there, adding cardio to my plan this week. Thinking of doing couch to 5k . . . how is everyone else doing?
  • Not sure if I'm supposed to post here or the other one, so I'll post in both :) I'm in too :) I'm on day 11 of a 21 day cleanse--I've essentially gone vegan, gluten free, no alcohol, no sugar. It is pretty hardcore, but has been a good jump start for me. I plan to add dairy and fish back in, eggs too but I will stay gluten…

  • New to the site but I would love to join the challenge!
