yeah I really messed up by not doing the complete 5 minutes, I only walked about 3.....you can bet I do the whole 5 minutes next time though!!!

Its getting alot better! I have never ever been a runner, I have no endurance so starting out even running the 60 seconds has been tough! Last night I never thought I would make it through the 3rd run interval, but I walked 2 minutes after that, and the last 3 or 4 runs were alot easier! the last time, I ran until I…

I've been WAY behind on posting this week! BUt I have been doing the challenges and have walked/ran at least a mile every single day this week! I started c25k this week, so that helped, but my legs are sooo terrible sore now! Glad its Friday so I can go a little easier on my workouts and just do my walking/running and be…

FINALLY!!!! After almost 2 weeks of no loss, I got on the scales this morning, right after bootcamp, and had lost 2.5 lbs!!! I figured probably more than that truly, since I had just finished a workout! It was just the kick in the rear I needed to get me more motivated to lose! 4 more lbs and I get my first new outfit!

Well I got up and started the run tonight, and I was really disappointed with myself!! By my third run interval, I thought I was going to absolutely DIE! I had to walk through the fourth one, but then I finished out and ended up running a minute and a half my last run! I guess maybe I shoulda walked the whole 5 minute warm…

Hi All! Glad everybody isdoing sooo well this week!! I have been busy with work and haven't been able to get on much this week, and I have SERIOUSLY missed it!! I have refrained from weighing since monday even though I am REALLY hoping the scales have come down some....I've done my bootcamp at the Y every single day this…

I'm so excited to start this now!! :bigsmile:

wow leeslim4life, you have got the best quads I have ever seen! I AM VERY envious!!! :bigsmile:

bump....i'm looking into doing this, wanna be able to find this thread when I do!

I wall planked for 1 minute this morning, and then did 30 sec side planks on each side!!!! My best yet! I did a wall sit for well over a minute last night but not sure how long, I was watching tv and forgot what I was doing! :happy:

well guys its first of the month so I am REALLY busy at work, but wanted to drop in quickly and say congrats to all the losers :happy: ! and to give my weigh in.....I stayed at 197 this week....which sucks cause I have worked out really hard all week long and have counted every bite in my mouth! but theres always next…

I confess I woked my butt off this morning, but I didn't push myself quite as hard as I could have cause I was tired!

Milk grapes chocolate

Too bad there are such RUDE people in this world! I have ran into old classmates from Highschool and some have said, gosh girl how many kids have you had, you have gotten sooo big! I haven't had ANY! even if I had though that's still so RUDE!

thanks for the encouragement! I won't give up I love my new lifestyle!! :happy:

sounds good to me! exercize challenges lunges (50 per day) squats (50 per day) planks (build up to a minute) wall sits (build to 1 minute) 100 crunches daily 100 mountain climbers daily run/walk (at least) 1 mile daily food eat extra serving of fruit a day instead of meat or dairy same with veggies water cant think of…

mine has been WAY over also, due to the milk and grapes...even fat free milk has 12 gr of sugar! Com'on banks tell us eager learners what to do!

I confess I had 2 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, (SMALL ONES) last night with supper, but they were within my calories, and STILL gained 2 lbs when I got on the scales this morning! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

if I had money riding on it everytime I could probably do more, maybe I should try that! lol

My skin has improved TONS since I changed my lifestyle! I have been drinking lots and lots of water which has cured my dry skin and under eye circles completely! Also i have always had problems of breaking out really bad the week before my TOM, which would be this week for me, and I don't have the first pimple,zit, or…

Good morning all and welcome new challengers! Hope everybody gets all their water in today! It has gotten easier and easier for me over the week!

thanks banks very informative as always!

congrats on the accomplishment! I know that just made your day!!!

thank god I work in an office all by my lonesome and don't have to worry about anybody, talkin smack about my food or eating my food! There's nobody here to tempt me with luncheons, or doughnuts or cake, its my own fault if I screw up during the day!

good luck!!! Your gonna ReALLY feel it tomorrow but you'll appreciate them awesome abs in a few months!

way to go.....i know building up stamina to run is sooo hard....i could only run about 30 seconds at the time when I first started jogging, now I can go almost 5 straight.....which is nothing compared to some people that run miles and hours at the time, but for me its a HUGE accomplishment! don't give up, keep going!

you lay down on your stomache and lift up and balance on your toes and elbows...your supposed to be straight like a plank from your head to your feet, some people poke their butts up slightly, but correctly you should be straight................

hows everybody doing on the Wall sit challenge?? I broke my time this morning, I am up to 45 sec now....which is still low compared to some, but its grown dramatically!

Congrats on the loss!!! I know you are sooo proud and I can' t wait to reach a milestone so I can celebrate too!!! I am so happy for you!

already gotten 2.5 in today, so I have set the right pace for the rest of the day! can't wait to hear from everybody this morning! GOOD LUCK! We can do this! :wink:
