Boy, I am really slacking on my gym time this week! I really need to make it there this evening (had a super short one this morning b/c i woke up late). This, despite the fact that it's sooo hot, i'm sooo tired, and i really really hate going to the gym in the evenings. I'll report back to let you know that i shook the…

Checking in for DILIH--3600 for the week.

C'mon DILIH--3 days left of the week! We DO NOT WANT TO POST THOSE PICTURES! :)

Up until recently, i had little problem getting my heart rate up so i'd be burning about 10 cals a minute (so 500-600 cals in an hour's workout). Recently, however, it's taken a lot more effort for that heart rate to get and stay up (hence the need for a longer workout). It doesn't help that his darn hip bursitis is…

So--just curious--anyone doing anything special or have any tips to reach the 3500 goal? I didn't think i'd have to do anything special but i'm finding that i'm just. not. getting. up. early enough to get that 600 cals at the gym (i really need to have one day off or i'll go crazy)...so to make up the difference i pack up…

Anyone taken too long a break between stages and come back to finish the program? Did you try and pick up where you left off or start all over? I left off btw phases 2 and 3 and am super frustrated b/c i hated 2 and don't want to do it again :).

Ok--got my 600 for a weekly total 3505

Off to burn my last 595 cals for the week. Come on DRILIHT (drop it like it's hot :))--we've got some catchin' up to do!

Not sure whether i'm team 1 or 2 :). Jbean's team? Friday 60 mins elliptical--630 cals Sunday 90 mins elliptical--870 cals (sometimes my polar f4 gives me those calories more quickly than others :)). total 1500 :). Had it not been for this challenge, i definitely wouldn't have gotten these minutes in this weekend. It was…

Ok...me too!

Sounds scary but exciting. Hmmm. :)

Target Net Calorie Goal: 1500 Weekend of 6/10--3 (d/n net more than 1500 cals all three weekend days) 6/17-- 6/24-- Total points to date--

Friday down and so far, (kind of) so good. 25 cals over net calorie goal. :)

Just finished phase 2! Thank goodness, i was not a fan of it :). I also let a couple of weeks lapse before the very last workout. Debated starting over but i was able to pick up at the point where i left off. At what point do you start over, i wonder?

I'm in--didn't do so well before but one of them has to stick :). Will weigh in tom.

Actually, my 20yr old body can stay where it is :). We're not identical but close. 5'4 34 yo CW 155 GW a smidge under 130 (just to see 128 even if for a day :)) Female body type: total apple. no muscle.

We're close-ish :). Haven't gone all the way back but the closest yet. 5'4 34 yo CW 155 GW a smidge under 130 (just to see 12? even if for a day :)) Female

I'm not really digging 2 either :). I feel like B specifically is too long and requires a lot of equipment shuffling. Halfway done though.

I know what you mean about the lateral flexion! Hmm...I kind of wish the exercises described the body parts that are targeted. Sometimes it's obvious. The lateral flexion is one where it isn't so much. Is it a stretch? :) Oh well. Sore today! Hope you feel better.

Let me know how that second workout goes. I have it tomorrow morning. Gotta make sure i'm there bright and early so no one sees me make a fool of myself :). I did that with the first workout of phase 2--that dumbell one point row? My balance is waaayy off. There's a point in the book where he says some folks worry too much…

Just did the first workout of phase 2...i'm scared of the B workout though! Someone mentioned logs--i found these great ones that a girl put online. I think you'll find it if you google new rules of lifting for women logs--she requires some passwords that are words off the actual book itself. It's not on the forum, it's…

One workout away from being done with stage 1. So far, ok. I love that it's less than 30 mins (maybe i fudge the rest periods a little)...other than the first few workouts though, not sore. Hmmm...gotta push myself more, i guess. I think I do. I just really really hate "the burn." :)

ugh...weekends kill me too. The only way i've been able to do ok is by having a nice long workout in the a.m. That hasn't happened too consistently though. Maybe i'll look for a "stick to your calories on weekends" group/challenge on the boards. :). My goal would be to weigh the same on monday as I do on friday. :)

Boy am I bad at math :D...up 2.4 from last week. so...yeah...

SW 158/CW 157 (up 1.6 from last week i think)...i figured this would be no progress week...keeping at it for next week!

4/1--158 4/8--156 4/15--155.6 :/ i was pretty good with the exercising and eating but that all probably went to offset last weekend. Hopefully things will even out by next week.
