Do something that makes you feel strong! A great workout where I end dripping with sweat, sore, pumped, and exhausted always, strangely, makes me feel more confident and happy.

Add me if you'd like! I've the same goal.

Not 'new' but restarting after about 18 months of life changes that assisted in gaining back every pound I'd lost plus 20. Looking for a simple way to ease back into healthy eating and needing to take it one day at a time. I love the idea of JFT. So JFT: 1. Log all meals 2. Stay at/under goals 3. Finish masters papers.

Oh I'm so glad you posted this. Just what I needed to see to make me focus again. I started about where you did (but I'm 5'5") and had lost 50 pounds and gained back about 8 over the last two months. So, like I said, those pictures reminded me of what I am looking forward to. Thanks!

Fantastic job! I got stuck in a downpour at my half-way point about two weeks ago. It was either turn around or finish, but at half-way, why not move forward? I got home soaked to the bone and ran straight for a much-deserved hot shower. It makes you feel so good to accomplish something like that! Keep it up!!

I agree with the above. Be very accurate in your measurements of food and exercise. Also, check your sodium intake - it is VERY high some days. Recommendations are 1500 mg and below - I know MFP sets you at 2500, but from the research I've done 1500 mg is recommended in most places. Lower amounts of processed foods and…

Going for 23.

I'm in!

I'm in.

And I'm done! Could definitely feel the knee raises in my glutes! Might have to add those in my leg days

I'm in for the super challenge!

Done! Did the standing workout plus crunches, reverse crunches and bicycle crunches. Ouchies!

I'm in!

I'm done. Used a 5# dumbbell - OUCH! Added in sidelying adductor/abductor raises in between sets of 10. I'm gonna feel that tomorrow.

I'm in!

In and DONE! Added in bicep curls, lateral raises, shoulder presses with the squats and am definitely feeling the burn! Hoping to do these challenges every day this week.

I gave up caffeine nearly 9 years ago. I still have the very occasional soda but usually I just drink water and sometimes decaf tea. I can't drink anything with a lot of caffeine because now it makes me hyperactive and shaky. I don't have "slumps" in the afternoon from lack of caffeine and I sleep very well at night. It…

Been needing an ab challenge - this should do it. I'm in!

I'm in!

Working on day 26 - only 50 down so far but I'll get it done after work.

Don't change anything from what you normally do before or during a training run. For example, if you normally eat breakfast do that, if not, don't eat. Be sure to hydrate but not too much. Race your pace, not anyone else's. Stretch beforehand and after. Be sure to arrive early (maybe an hour) if there is a packet to…

155 pushups and squats, 105 crunches, 3.1 miles! Done for the day!

Haven't checked in several days, but I've been doing the challenge! Working my way through 100 squats/pushups and 60 crunches right now. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Day 5 done! I'm loving this challenge.

Day 3 Done! I love squats but I'm ready to run tomorrow instead.

Day 3 Done!

I usually am careful but not strict when I'm on vacation. I pick my battles - if its going to be a great dinner place, I eat lighter the rest of the day. Everything in moderation! If you gain a bit, don't stress. It's gonna be okay! Have a great trip!!

Hi, I'm Whitney. Really looking forward to this challenge for the month - great motivation! Day 1 is done!

I considered starting a group on this too! So yes, I'm definitely in!

I walk - and run - outside 3-4 days a week. Strength train on my off days. But I find that if I go outside and I promise myself 1 mile (or 2...) then I find that after that 1 mile I have to go back home too. So I get two miles anyway. I know that seems stupid and just common sense, but if I "trick" myself into that first…
