Oh, I'm jealous! I've been wanting to get Insanity but it's just so expensive! As for me, I've been taking it easy for the last few days for finals at school and then I went away for the weekend with my boyfriend, so I've been doing some yoga, pilates, and walking just to keep up the habit. I'm trying to build some…

Eh, you can do it however you want :) Just whatever makes most sense to you!

Woohoo! Well, even though it seems like I'm the only one participating (or maybe I'm the only one that knows about this) I'll just keep tracking my workouts here anyways :) Today I did 30-minutes of cardio work using a 10-Minute Solutions DVD called "Carb Killer" I did 10-minutes of "Slow and Steady Burn" (low jmpact…

I started today, and hope more of you are doing this as well :) Today I did a 40-minute fitness DVD - "Crunch: Pilates Burn and Firm" and took my dog out for an extra 20-minute walk. Feels great!

That's a great idea! Without accountability there are so many ways to "cheat", we should be able to look out for one another. If someone is comfortable making their diary public, they can always add a few friends from the challenge and make their diary viewable to friends only.

Yeah, that's a perfect idea. I guess I can start the threads now and we can begin the 30-days on March 12th and end on April 10th. EDIT: I started the 3 threads and randomly chose a challenge for each, except good nutrition. If you think a different challenge would be better just let me know and I can edit it! We've got…

Aww, that's no way to think about it! We're all here to make positive changes and support each other in our goals. Just stick with it and if you really want to make it happen you totally can!

A no weighing challenge sounds like a great idea! I haven't owned a scale since mine one broke last year, so I guess that'd be super easy for me :) Unfortunately I don't think that there is a tool to use on MFP, so I guess it'd just have to be a forum that we all check-in with, which I suppose means we could even have…

When a new 24-hour Fitness opened up in my city they had free access to classes for 7 days. I tried functional training, strength training, and boot camp classes. My favorite by far was the boot camp, it just felt like the best workout ever! a close second was functional training, it was fun and helped build agility and…

What if we did something like an "Hours Exercised" type of challenge? That way not everybody would have to do the same things, but we could all have something to work for? So for example, I could set a personal goal to workout 30 hours in 30 days, but someone else could pick a completely different number of hours. So we're…

I think all of those sound like great ideas! Maybe we could do like a 30-day challenge? And I think it would help everyone if they could friend people with similar goals or routines, which was one aim of the "Introductions" thread.

Diet Coke doesn't have any calories, so I don't think it will prevent weight loss. Some people say that the aspartame can make you gain weight or give you cancer, but I've yet to see any credible sources that validate those claims. Also, I have heard that using diet drinks or candy to satiate a craving for sugar is not…

Oooh I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but its so expensive to do in a gym and I don't live near anywhere that I can try it "in the wild". Good luck with the cardio, I'm the complete opposite (prefer cardio, find weights boring) so I have to start trying to add more strength/weights into my routine.

Hello all! My name is Sara, I'm 5'10" tall, 21 y/o and looking to drop about 5lbs (from 135-130) and increase my strength and flexibility. I've never been in very good shape AT ALL so I'm really just looking to make some positive changes in my life :)

Hello! I'm Sara :) 21 year old college student (Biology major) and part-time volunteer at several local charities. Right now I'm at 135lbs with a goal of 130lbs, but my biggest goal is to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle. I live in the Pacific Northwest (USA) and mostly workout at home or in the small gym at my…
