Chips and dip are so my weakness too. We are grilling hamburgers, I will eat one without a bun. We will have some foods i will need to steer clear of, so i am also cutting up carrots and celery to eat with fat free dressing. No company is coming over, just the hubby and the daughter, so I hope to be good, if not, it's no…

I go, I really like it. My neighbor just joined and we go at least 3 nights a week. More if we can. You can't beat the price.

Sorry, I can't help you. I am 54 and also concerned if I lose a lot of weight, is my fat just going to sag. I have seen this on women, and even though they have lots tons of weight, it sometimes doesn't appear that way, because they have to cloth all the saggy hanging fat. I really do worry about that for me. You saying it…

Here I am, in the same boat as many of you. I am 53, and have been doing the diet yoyo for years. I really am serious this year, hopefully with your help I can do it.

I am going to give it a whirl, I need to dig my mat out from the garage. I usually do most of my challenges at the gym. You did not mention, but should we split it up throughout the day, or do it all at once. You all have a great day and workout.,

Well, it didn't go so well, I did about 6 ladies styles, then a friend told me about wall pushups. Not much to it, but it was movement, and I did 90 of those. I know I really cheated on this challenge, but I just started exercising 2 weeks ago, I am really overweight and out of shape. I do my best.

Never been any good at pushups, but I am going to give it a try. Will check back in tonight.

My first challenge, love that you are posting these daily. I did 80 on each leg. Much easier than yesterdays that I didn't see until 11:00. Looking forward to tomorrows challenge. Thanks

Hi Manibal_mf, I went to a health class offered by my Chiropractors office, they said it is recommended that you drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water. For me that's a lot of water. She said it should only be water, not flavored with any of those packets. I know water is boring, and I need a little flavor as well.…

I feel as though it gives me credit for more than I deserve too, at least compared to the machine. I too want to get one of those gadgets that you wear and it counts for you. Maybe I will ask for that for Valentines Day rather than chocolates. I record my exercise, because I want it in my records, but I have yet needed to…

Sounds like a plan. Good luck to you today. Already had a good breakfast, on to some housework.

I can't be much help to you, but I am always over what my target heart rate should be. I do my workouts at Planet Fitness, and when on the treadmill, and elliptical I am always over my target. If I stay in my targeted zone, I can talk to others, and don't feel as exerted as I think I should. If I am with my friend, I pace…

NC, Very close to the SC Border.

Thanks, I will look into that. great job on your weight loss.

I am 54, and looking too lose 80+ . I know it's a long road, but I am going to do it with the help of all of you. LET'S DO THIS. Add me.

Yeah ladies, It's so good to hear from you. I think if we can offer support to each other and encouragement that will be wonderful. I did make it to the gym today, 70 minutes. 20, elliptical, 20 treadmill and 30 minutes on the weight machines. I am going to have to get the names of the machines so I can add my exercises in…

Awesome, Thanks for the slide show of your progress. I hope to do that as well.

Today is my first day at the site. I started going to the gym in Jan 2011. Took some time out in May for vacation, then started to slack off. Upon returning from my vacation in July, I pretty much stopped going. I did lose 13 lbs in 2011, and have not put it back on. My neighbor has now joined the gym as well. We plan to…
