What are hack squats???

Hey folks!!! I've been doing well this week, except yesterday because my knee wouldn't let me do it. I felt bad but that's okay. I'm going to try to do 2 workouts tonight (yoga & shoulders, arms) as long as my knee is doing pretty good. I'm signing up for my free gym membership this weekend so that on any day that my knee…

Finished my first full week of p90x on sat (did kenpo). It was a tough week but I feel very accomplished and I start it all over again today (chest and back). Last week I could do the ab ripper after the workouts but this week I will!! So i fully expect for my stomach muscles to be very sore tomorrow since I can always…

team jacob all the way!!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!! Keep pushing play people!!!

I did shoulders and arms yesterday. Today is yoga. I'm pushing through this week but I'm finding that I'm getting sore late in the day the day after my workout. For example, Monday was plyo but my legs and butt and abs didn't feel sore until Tuesday evening about an hour or two before I did Shoulders and Arms. I wonder why…

CHest and back on Sunday; Plyo yesterday; and Shoulders and Arms w/Ab ripper today!! I hope to post before and after pics to but we will see after the first round!! :laugh: Plyo really hurt my knees so I'm going to take some Advil and I'm very thankful that today is Shoulders and Arms to give my knees a break. Good job…

me too!!!

At the ER most of the day today. No p90x today maybe not tomorrow either. Please keep pushing play for me for the next couple of days. I'll catch up with ya!!! Great job guys!!!

Hey!! Today will be a great day!! I have Kenpo tonight. If I'm feeling good afterward then I will try to to do Ab ripper x too. My goal this week is to stay within my calorie allotment all week!! Have a great week!!!

Hey folks!! I gained this week (257 today), but I'm not too bummed about it becasue I was expecting it. THis is the week before TOM and I totally pigged out!!! Although I did get in 3 days of tough workouts in this week (p90x) and I'll work out today and tomorrow for a total of 5 tough workouts this week. That's pretty…

Hey!! I did Shoulders and Arms plus Ab ripper x yesterday. It was a great workout!! I did lite weights and more reps since it was my first time doing the workout. I'm going to increase the weights next time so I can feel even more burn. I have another workout today, I can't remember which one it is (i think its yoga x).…

Hey folks!!! I missed my workout yesterday (family emergency - hospital all night), but I will definitely do it tonight. I'm pretty sore but I know its because these are exercises that I've never done or don't do often. I'm enjoying it so far and I'm trying to get the rest of my family to do it with me so far my oldest…

Hello!! I just started p90x monday and it is everything I thought it would be. I'm following the lean program. I did core syng. monday and cardio yesterday. I don't remember what's for today. I don't have a pull up bar and I don't remember what the suggestion is for people who don't?? I guess I'll find out when I get to…

Hello ladies!!! Thanks for all of the encouraging words. I'm still plugging along. I did day 2 of my workout yesterday and I'm really excited because it was a 45 min workout. Plus my niece helped keep me motivated through the workout be doing it with me yesterday. She said she really liked it. Boy am I feeling it today…

I'm doing okay this week. I just started on some new meds so I'm hoping that will help me out as far as the pain goes. I did just start a new workout program and so far so good. I made it through day 1 and that is fantastic!! THanks for the encouraging words!!!

I just wanted to pop on here for a moment to share with you guys that I just did my first day of P90x and it was hard as HECK!!!!! I really didn't want to do because I was tired all day from my medicine that I have to take but I did it anyway. I don't feel great (I haven't gotten to the point where working out kicks up…

Weight stayed the same on Friday (255), I'll be happy because at least it wasn't a gain.

Thaks for the chart!! After my horrible weigh in on Friday I weighed myself again on Monday and I'm back down to 253.4! So I'm hoping the increase was water weight and that by increasing my water it will stay away. I haven't been doing the exercise challenge because I've been having these spasms in my back. So I'm going to…

AAAAWWWWW!!!! I gained this week!!! :cry: :sad: I'm up 2lbs (I'm 255 this week, I was 253 last week)!!!! I'm extremely frustrated, but I refuse to be discouraged. I'm really excited about the exercise challenge and I will start that today, after I go see Percy Jackson and the Olympians first:blushing: . Congrats to…

Hello!! I'm all for an exercise challenge. I am really struggling in that area right now. I've been off the exercise wagon for a couple of months now and I'm trying to get back on. I did workout yesterday but I didn't do my p90x I did a dance workout (Bollywood). It was fun!! I'm going to do a bootcamp workout for 30 mins…

Hello!! I've been doing pretty well getting my water in each day. I'm only at 48 oz right now but I have a 20 oz bottle sitting right next to me that I'm working on. My p90x just came in the mail yesterday but I'm a little afraid to try it. I know it will be very challenging!!! But I will throw caution to the wind and try…

Hello folks!! Just checking in to see how all is going. THis weekend wasn't too bad. I got most of my water in which is great because I usually never get any water in. I will weigh again on Friday (hopefully I will have gone down a pound). My weight loss has been pretty stagnant and I've tweaked and prodded all that I can.…

Hello, I would like to join this group. I've been off the site for quite sometime now and I'm coming back. I weighed today and my weight was 253.2. Have a great day!

Not to "poo poo" the ladies who are saying that working out helps during that time of the month because alot of times it does, but I'm unfortuntately one of those people who it doesn't help. My cramps are soooo bad that I usually have to take a Lortab or something along those lines to break the pain (which ofcourse puts me…

Hey I know I got some serious steps in yesterday (don't remember how many) because I was all over Walmart, etc for hours doing my shopping. Today will likely be a repeat of yesterday but today I have on my pedo so I'll know how many steps I took. Great job everyone!!!

Hey folks!!!! I don't have much time but I wanted to pop in and say hey to all of the newbies in the group!!!!! Plus tell everyone hello and to keep up the good work. Even if you have a bad day you are still doing good because you are aware that it was a bad day. so many times we overate unconscienously and before we know…

Hello!! I'm still hanging in there and things are starting to get better. I'm getting my water back to the level it was before last week. Although I will admit that I succumbed to a 1/2 of donut today at breakfast. It was soooo tasty!!!! But I stopped at 1/2 so I'm proud of that. But I'm off to do more shopping at lunch.…

Choco - YOU GO GIRL!!!!! I'm so glad for you. I don't know what it is about when we feel that we don't look our best men think we look great. Either way, I hope you go out and have a great time!! I know what you mean about men saying you look unapproachable because you look mean, I've gotten that a lot in my life too.…
