Way to go specialisa and runner! I did my morning workout Couch to 5k on Saturday, it felt really good. Now I'm going to get on track with tracking my food and staying in my calorie range. I really want to make some progress~

Oh super bummer, went to bed too late last night, and no workout this morning! I guess next week is a new week. We can do this. Also I gained this week. Well the beginning weigh in was a bit of a fluke, because I had been making shakes for two meals a week last week. Last week, 153.6 - this week 155.8, up 2.2, sorry team!…

WordWhimsy: 155.8

So I worked out last night, then felt super lazy this morning. I guess tomorrow is the MORNING WORKOUT DAY!!!! YAY!! I have a treadmill in my basement, no excuses, tomorrow is the day!!!

bryannakay- I totally get needing to be a morning person. That is when I need to get my workouts done, or they just don't get done! Maybe we can be virtual morning workout partners? We can start with just trying to get 2 mornings a week, to sort of ease into it? This week, let's just try to get one morning a week. So we…

So that we have some introductions and goals, what are we doing to get this done? I'm going to start running again. Going to "restart" the Couch to 5K program, which is 3 days a week, running always works for me. I'm also going to do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution a couple days a week, and I also like to take a couple…

My goal for this challenge is to be back firmly in the mid 140s! I've been in the mid 150s for the past year or so. I feel best in the 130s, but that takes a LOT of hard work and exercise, and frankly, I don't know if I can maintain that and live a happy life. I also have a pair of pants from Banana Republic that I like…

WordWhimsy: 153.6 lbs.

HI Everyone! I'm Nicole, and I'm married, no kids, work full time, desk job (have a hard time getting my steps in during the day, but I do wear a fit bit) I'm also trying to get through Jillian Michaels Body Revolution before I have a Caribbean Cruise in October! Yay for a hot vacation body :) I also belong to a small…

I am re-starting week 2, I should really be on week 3, but I didn't do any of the dvd's last week. I did a couple exercise classes and a couple walks, but I need to restart. Here's to a great week 2!

I'm really not having a stellar start to week 2, ugh. I did my dance fitness class on Monday evening, then haven't worked out since! I MUST do a workout tonight to get back on track and just consider yesterday my rest day.

I did my Cardio Dance WERQ class last night, so fun! Then this morning I was supposed to get up to do DVD1, but I was tired. I will do it tonight, then do DVD2 tomorrow. I'm enjoying these dvd's and looking forward to losing some weight and getting some definition in my arms!

Just finished week 1, on to week 2, I like the workouts and I hope that gradually I will be ready once I get to the further weeks. I'm not doing the cardio dvd, because I like my cardio dance classes at a local studio. Tonight is WERQ, fun dance music!

Thanks Soapyskin, they gave my dad medication so he at least isn't in pain. However yesterday he started feeling some symptoms that were similar to when he had bladder cancer in 2002, and I'm kind of freaking out. Not a great start to my Friday. I did have fun last night at the Cider tasting, and because that wasn't…

I'm in, thanks for taking the lead!

Oh, and I'm DRINKING TON of WATER!!! No kidney stones for me. I found a super cute APP for my phone to track water consumption, it's called Plant Nanny, I just started but it looks like as you drink water, it feeds your little plant. Yes, I'm a kid at heart :laugh:

Wow, Life can really throw you a curve ball. Just when I was planning on getting a double workout in yesterday, my dad had to go to the ER. So first of all, thankfully he is OK, and was released around 8pm, and it was diagnosed that he has a kidney stone. No surgery needed thank goodness. However I didn't get any workout…

Soapyskin- Good idea on the cute glass to drink more water. I have a big plastic starbucks cup with straw that I should use. I just have to measure the oz of it. Yesterday I got 84 oz of water in, so I guess if I can get between 80-100 that will be good. I started my day with a big iced coffee, so I'm not doing great on…

I didn't think workout 1 was too bad either. But I'm sure it will be kicking my butt in no time! Actually I was almost a little surprised that it was over so soon, not that I'm complaining!

I totally agree with you! If I can get my workout done first, it sets the tone for my whole day, I eat healthier and feel better all day! Yeah for a morning workout buddy, even if it's a virtual buddy :flowerforyou:

So I meant to do the first workout on Monday evening, but then well, life happened! So I did workout 1 today, before work, as planned. Tomorrow I'm going to do workout 2 before work in the morning, then in the evening, I'm going to take a cardio class (to make up for the cardio dvd) then I figure I'll be back on track by…

Starting on MONDAY!

I just ordered the JMBR set off ebay for a nice price, so I am excited to have it delivered and to start. My cousin did JMBR last year, and she was looking quite fab, she is doing it again, she is also on MFP so maybe she will join this group too. She's a few weeks into this time around. I have a cruise planned in October,…

I started out strong, but then really got sick of the dvd, that happens with me, I was actually surprised I made it through 15 days, haha! Good job to all of you who completed! I think I'm going to try to get back to doing the dvd 2-3X per week for strength, but I don't think I could do it more than that. I'm just really…

I'll do Ripped in 30, but probably just 3 days a week. I got totally burned out on the 30DS.

I was really into 30DS for the first 10 days or so, and I was seeing results. However after taking a few days off, I realize I need more variety in my schedule. Yesterday I just wasn't feeling it, so I walked on the treadmill, which felt great! Then I did another 40 minutes on the treadmill this morning. I think the key is…

Once I'm done with 30DS I think I'm going to do the C25K too, I'm planning on alternating in the Jillian Michaels 6 weeks to a 6 pack. As for lifting, I do like how doing 30DS has tightened me up, so I want to continue to lift. Great job on losing 4# too! I have really gone up and down and up, and it's frustrating.…

Great job everyone! I've taken a few days off, so tonight I plan to do Level 2 - day 5, halfway for me, but I'm going to stick it out!

Today is going to be a planned rest for me. I stayed up late and watched Scandal, love that show! Plus I'm meeting friends for a night out tonight. Have a great weekend! So glad it's FRIDAY, is it 5 o'clock yet??!

I agree, I think I'm just more aware now, because of looking at the girls on the videos too. You're right Jade, we need to be proud of ourselves for what we are doing to make changes. MrsV, I'll have to check out that dvd.
