Not sure how it happened... but here I am, a mere month from my 39th birthday :) :flowerforyou:

Great article...thanks for posting :)

I've got another 60 or so to go... check in here several times a day :) Add me if you'd like!

When all my efforts seem so extremely minute when I step on the scale... these victories are so important. I have to be in front of a camera for work more often than I'd like, I'm afraid! Whether it's at an event, or receiving a cheque from a donor, there's the evil camera. Since I adjusted my lifestyle 6 weeks ago, I'm…

I got them done too Suzie. It does seem to be quiet, doesn't it? I missed the two strength training days, and the video the other day. I did manage to get 1/2 hour of cardio on each day. And yesterday, I walked for nearly 6 hours outlet shopping... that's GOTTA count for something :) Now to look up today's exercise! Happy…

I unfortunately lack anything to perform these on, except for the stairs... and well, my biggish feet get in the way! Did my daily cardio - 15 minutes on the elliptical, and 15 minutes on the treadmill. Even brought myself up to a run on several occasions :)

WTG!!!!!

564 by mfp standards - slightly higher with my hrm. Almost forgot, but got in a hard walk before calling it a day... Yippee!

I try to do this every day! Since I've made this shift in my lifestyle, cooking has become something I LOVE to do... the brighter the dish, the more delicious! :)

I did well on my meals - no prepared, freezer meals for lunch - but for the snacks... meh. Not so good! It takes a lot to eat everything fresh!!

No access to equipment today either :) Went for a hour's walk and enjoyed the weather today, unseasonably warm! Fantastic day :)

What a wonderful idea! Since starting the journey toward the new me, I've had to go recipe hunting. The old me cooked things that just weren't that good for you, and they tasted... well... bad! My husband tells me that my diet has made me into a better cook. I respond... this isn't a diet. this is a lifestyle change. Glad…

Thank you for letting me know there was such a thing as a beginner kind............. I was totally able to do them :)

Well... a little frustrated to say the very least! I performed 3 - and not very good ones at that! Having some mysterious issues with my left shoulder, and between my lack of fitness level and my sheer weight... burpees cannot reside in my menu of exercises right now. Perhaps when I'm a little lighter and a little…

Came home from work tonight to have my son's girlfriend ask... "so, what's today assignment?". Few minutes later, my son entered the room. "dinner smells good mom... have you done your exercise today?" My oldest daughter... "hey mom... let's do those squats together!" Squats. Done. I have the best children :)

60 second beginners plank done :P A whole lot harder than it looks that's for sure! Got in 1/2 hour of cardio on the elliptical and treadmill too. Great day!

Looking to lose around 70-80 pounds... feel free to add me if you'd like :) :happy:

Took me long enough to fit it in today, but it's done... now for a walk. I need to burn a few extra calories today - I had a snacky kind of day :(

Fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House :)

Walking done :)

Done - modified, definitely, but managed to get 3 sets of 10 in, plus one for good luck ;) Also got in 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the elliptical. Feeling pumped tonight for sure!

well... it's done. I had to break it down into 5 sets of 3 minutes, but they were pretty solid sets. I haven't exercised since high school. This just about killed me... I think I shall go find a rock, and climb under!! My 15 year old daughter was my lifeline for sure!!! She rooted me on through the whole thing :)

50 crunches done :D

March Challenge day 1 - jumping jacks. check! (Sorry! too busy yesterday to log them here!) March Challenge day 2 - 30 minutes cardio. check! Did 10 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes treadmill, 10 minutes stationary bike. Didn't feel like doing it after preparing and cooking for, then cleaning up after 70 people for…

I can indeed! Would love to hear from you. Thank you!

Amazing site! Thank you :)

Unfortunately the softer the surface, the worse it is. I'm great to sit on the floor, just not add any movement that would alter the position of the tail bone itself. Unfortunately the exercise ball is not my friend. I guess, yes, I would be looking for ab exercises that would require no sitting...

Hi, I'm Kelley :) I'm super excited to be starting on this journey! Just over a year ago, I quit smoking! The weight gain has been fast and furious since that first month smoke-free. The more weight I've gained the more pain I experience in my back, my knees... It's time for a change. I wasn't exactly sure how I was going…
