Just a bump in to say hello so I can find this on Jan 1st =) I'll update my stats then!

Here was some of our 'homework' over the 2 week break between bootcamp (pasting this from our bootcamp director's email): Tabatas: 20 seconds on 10 seconds rest....repeat 7 more times for a total of 4 minutes of high intensity, metabolism boosting exercise. You could do 2 of these a day 4-5 days a week during our 2 week…

This is what we follow at my bootcamp The original Tabata Protocol requires the following: •5 minutes of warm-up •8 intervals of 20 seconds all-out intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest •2 minutes cool-down But, we do SEVERAL tabatas. We do them as PART of a 60 minute bootcamp.

Freaking LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing Tabatas. We do Tabata style workouts for at least part of the hour at each of my bootcamps. We use lots of different exercises - jumping stars (think combo of deep squats and jumping out to a jumping jack), burpees, push ups, jumping rope, etc. It's all about INTENSITY in bursts with tiny…

Definitely!!! Your face, waist, legs...you look younger and happier!!! And can I just say you have BEAUTIFUL hair!!! Way to go, girl!!!

Mmmmm that sounds YUMMMMMMMY! Thanks for sharing!

Exactly what this person said. WORK all your muscles! Get that metabolism revving. Stronger core, stronger body, better metabolism!

What an amazing transformation in 16 weeks! This is SOOOO inspiring!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! LOVE your new cut/color, too. You look so happy and full of life in your new pics. You will rock your new goals too!!!!

Welcome! That's what I'm working on...in fact, that's one of my running/workout tunes...HA!!!

Oh YES! I love how much flatter my tummy feels first thing in the AM!

YES! Chewing gum = bloat!

You NEED to look at your ticker, lady!!!! FORTY THREE POUNDS!!!!!! FLOOOOOD yourself with water and move that body and you'll be back to adding MORE lbs LOST to that ticker in no time. Applaud yourself for how FAR you've come. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

Agreed!!! I am going to ROCK a bikini this summer. I AM GOING TO DO IT!!! Bikini photos are my motivation =) Looking awesome in skimpy VS stuff would ROCK, too!!! =) =)

Drumming up the courage to sign up for a bootcamp. It was 4 weeks long - 5 days a week. It gave me a great jumpstart and I learned so much about exercises I could do without a gym membership. I also got some great nutrition tips (instructors are a husband/wife pair - she is a registered dietician and he is a certified…

NOPE! You aren't going to *hope* you WILL :) :) ) Let's DO IT!!!

I did, too. But, life goes on and today is a NEW day! Your body will forgive you - give it lots of water, exercise and whole foods within your calories and it will bounce back. That's what I'm counting on ;-).

Awesome!!! WAY TO GO!! That is a big WIN!!!

I average losing about a 1/2 pound a week. Three pounds a week is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! The constestants on TBL workout hours upon hours a day. You are doing GREAT!!!

Oops..double post

Well, I bundled up and went out for a run outside in 26 F weather with light snow. Confession - I did not run 3.1 miles (5k). I ran 2.16 miles. Started wheezing from the cold air (mild asthma). BUT, I ran at a good pace. My garmin gave me an average pace of 9:53/mile. Not lightning quick, but not too shabby. Especially…

NICE!!! Looking hot! I especially love the view of your back - love handles/back fat ***GONE*** Ta dow!!! Nice job!!!!

Doing my run early this afternoon! Looking forward to it!!!

I plan on just doing what I did on Thanksgiving. Enjoy the foods, but eat MINDFULLY. If I am full, I will stop. If it's not something I really like, I'm not going to eat it and waste the calories. And I will alternate water with the cabernet ;-). I am cooking tonight and the menu is beef tenderloin w/ cabernet sauce,…

These are GREAT ideas - all good and FILLING foods! Greek yogurt, oatmeal and apples are amongst my mainstay FILLING snack items!!!

If I get into chips or pizza I CANNOT STOP. I know, everything in moderation...but, I also have accepted certain foods are like CRACK to me and I lose all self control. I have this stuff around me having elementary school kids and going to school, cub scouts, etc. functions and I just have to pump the brakes and AVOID it.…

I last MAINTAINED for a long time my goal weight in 2000....10 years ago. I last GOT to that weight for a millisecond using a the idiotic (IMHO) Atkins diet in 2007.

Well, that is a random menu - HA! I would stick to some sushi and drink a lot of water all day to counteract the salt of the soy sauce and keep you from being tempted by the pizza. Stay away from the everclear...OMG that brings back BAD memories of underage drinking.

Just sent you a request. Welcome!

I request people for different reasons - they're motivational, they have a positive attitude, they have similar stats, I can learn from them, we have things in common in our lives, they're fun, etc., etc., etc.

I'm in!!!! Great idea!
