I made it into an mp3 file and now I do it at the gym. It may sound weird but I will more likely get through the whole thing if I think people are watching and therefore judging me.

I used 3lb weights because while they're manageable at the beginning it gets very hard in the end, so I stick to that weight. Also, I hate planks. That is all.

I hate planks! I have yet to have good form because I always end up with sore wrists, although I try. I have a weak core I guess...it's a work in progress, by day 10 I'll get it!

I like how reassuring she is, and I love her because I've seen several seasons of The Biggest Loser and you can tell she REALLY cares. She posted this on FB the other day, and it's amazing advice that I used today :) Fitness Tip: All it takes to torch 15% more calories on the treadmill is adding a little incline. Even just…

Thanks for the motivation, I know it is a long term thing so I think you are right it is a good idea to take photos every month because with my body it takes time to see the difference. You did an amazing job!

I can't see the photos :( but amazing weightloss! That's motivation enough without the pics!

Done day two! I also went to the gym and got my fitness assessment done today, can't wait til day 30 for our hard work to pay off!

cant wait to see the difference! i took some before pics 2 days ago!

finished! i used 3lb weights :) did level one and two for an extra burn and i was feeling up for it.

Awesome! great minds think alike :)

I walk at 3.5 and run at 5.5-6

That's amazing!

Thanks all!

Is it just my phone or is the app REALLY slow compared to Andriod and iphone?

No we don't have a circuit area specifically dedicated but I think I plan a circuit and work along it, wow I totally forgot about circuit training and now that you mention it, I see you are right!

Thank you for your posts! Yes I do realize I can't spot reduce but I meant something to target more, because I do way more running than anything else at the gym. I used to play football (soccer) and the running kept my body fit, but it was likely a combination of the running and kicking, plus stopping, it's not just one…

Wow! Amazing work, keep doing what you're doing! What's the time between the first and second pic?

Thanks! So is it better to keep cardio on one day and strength training on another?

Thanks so much Kim! I've already volunteered at a fundraiser and will definitely do more in the future, I'm surprisingly getting inquires for Montreal more than here! It's a pleasure to be here and can't wait to see more of this city :)

I only have two, this is based on my years at the university gym and my current new gym which is actually huge so I dont have problems with crowding 1. People who talk in the steam room/sauna 2. Women walking around undressed for way too long and then have conversations. I am very uncomfortable with that.

I feel like I wrote this post myself, except for the part where the weight started coming off. It is the complete embodiment of what I feel now and how I wish I could feel. I have never been "that girl" and I still cannot see it even though I understand that long term weight loss goals and lifestyle changes are essential.…

Hello! I've just moved to Ottawa after growing up in Toronto and I find it to be quite the change. For one thing it is way quieter here in Ottawa, but I am learning to love it. I've finally settled in a little more, my husband is studying his PhD at Carleton and I've just graduated so no more school for me! I might go…

I just joined Athletic Club because I was looking for an all women's gym. It's the one at Train Yards and I love it so far. The facility is super clean and there are so many machines you never ever have to wait to use anything. I haven't tried group fitness yet but I will because it is included in my membership. Also…

Just graduated ! You're totally right, we should start our "real lives in the real world" the way we've always wanted to! Healthy :D

Hot pair of jeans!

I'm 21 and I have 50 pounds to lose, add me if you like :)

Toronto, but moving to Ottawa soon!
