Great idea :) I'm giving outdoor running a second chance through C25K and it's slow going but I can do it! Best of luck to everyone!

165 this week. Definitely not headed in the right direction! Up 2lbs :( Had family visiting from out of town so I had four days of restaurant food lunch and dinner and no time to hit the gym. Hopefully I can get back on track :) Congrats to everyone, you're doing great!

Partners! :) I will contact you via PM tomorrow :) Feel free to contact me any time!

Just completed L1D10! Tomorrow I start L2! :) Best of luck to all you shredders!

I log it as circuit training and give myself 195 calories for it. I figured that was high enough to be close to accurate and low enough that I'm not overestimating.

Happy August 1 everyone! I am pleased to see the scale at its lowest in my entire teenage/adult life :) 162-163lbs I'm ready to work my *kitten* off to see that number get lower! Great job to everyone else as well :) We're all in this together!

I haven't taken a rest day yet. I'm aiming to do the full 30 days without rest. I figured it's only 20 minutes a day so I might as well. :) Listen to your body though. If you feel like you need a rest day take a rest day.

8 :)

I'm 162 looking to get down to 145 :) My mini goal is 155 by September 1. Feel free to add me!

@1RareJewel I definitely see a difference in your before and after pictures. i would probably attribute the gained weight to muscle because you look tighter and more toned :)

I'm 5'10 with hips and thighs that are determined to stick around. Currently able to fit into a 12 but still wearing my 15s :)

Spicy Garlic Shrimp 2 tsp light spreadables butter 1 clove garlic diced 1.5 tsp chili powder 1.5 tsp crushed chilies 8 shrimp (I used ready to eat) Melt the butter in a frying pan: add diced garlic, chili powder and chilies. Wait until butter has melted before adding shrimp. Cook till desired tenderness. This is a super…

Day three I was excruciatingly stiff. It's gotten better since then. I've noticed after each session my calves are tighter than..something really tight..(Yes, I am indeed an English Lit major) so I add calf stretches into the cooldown. I haven't taken any measurements, but I plan to take a before, during, and after photo :)

Hey guys :) I've tried to add as many of you to the group as possible! Send me a message if I've missed you - the group's name is the same as the topic (Back to School 10lb Challenge) so feel free to join!

Weather permitting of course :) Vancouver has been known to turn on its residents without notice so fingers crossed for a good week here!

Congratulations on your weight loss so far :) You will definitely reach your goal! It's slow going in the beginning but it gets easier as time goes on. :)

L1D4 today and feeling battered! Love this program to death though. I'm not someone who incorporates strength training into work outs so this DVD is a godsend :) Planning to take pictures of my progress (Day 1, Day 15 and Day 30) and post them to my profile. Can't wait to move up to level 2!

Count me in :) CW: 163 GW: 157 July 30th -- August 6th -- August 13th -- August 20th --

I agree with those saying turn exercise into therapy. I did that after I broke up with my boyfriend of three years (not the same, I know) and even though I'd still feel crushed having an hour to just channel all the emotions into a physical activity really helped. Maybe join a fitness class where you don't have to be alone…

I feel like a nice alternative to money would be putting folded up slips of paper with fun activities written on them in a jar. Things like: dinner out, new book, new outfit, trip to an art gallery etc (can also include things that don't cost dinero0 Once you reach..say 30 days of exercise you pick a slip and reward…

I get that from time to time. I chalk it up to either an ingrown hair or some sort of infection. I give it a week before I plan to go to the doctor. So far it's never been doctor worthy for me, but I'd say if it persists get thee to a doctor.

You look fantastic :) Congratulations!

@OhLibra Yes :) You look like a happy person!

Stand up and stand out :) A little reminder for myself :)

I turned to fitness as a way to manage my emotions after a particularly nasty break-up. I began to associate fitness with happiness (no matter how temporary). As I got better emotionally I tried to find other ways to keep motivated. My newest motivation is reading. I don't do enough of it at home surrounded by all my…

Hey :) I'm Melissa. I'm 22 and have recently gotten serious about getting healthy. I'm 5'10 and my starting weight was 225lbs. I'm currently 167lbs and aiming for 135-145lbs. I try to get to the gym 4-6 times a week and aim to burn 600-800 calories each time. I'm usually online for a few minutes every day to offer…

Check out my diary for Monday (or even yesterday) I almost didn't update it I felt so awful and embarrassed. But these things happen and being accountable for them helps in that you accept them and you can change them :) One or two (or three or four) bad days are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Find something…

You look amazing :) Beautiful at your starting weight, gorgeous at your current weight!

Great eyes :)
