:flowerforyou: Go Aly!! Going to do my calf lifts right now!!!

Mare, what type of workouts do you do at the gym? I've been told that it's best to do cardio to get rid of tummy flab (and that's my WORST area!) Also diet plays a factor, I just signed up on prevention.com's virtual belly flattener to see what I could look like, lol, you just have to upload a pic of you sideways and they…

almarest, great idea!!! Starting Sunday the new challenge will be calf raises...I forgot about that part of the leg :tongue:

Okay, I've been slacking too, my 8 month old is sick and my 2 year old isn't dealing well with less attention, :explode: so I was going through the On Demand fitness videos and there's one called "cheerleader legs" which is a combination move of lunges and squats that I thought would mix it up a little bit! Let's see if I…

Welcome! I'm also from the Seattle area and I totally understand having kids and gaining weight! It's hard to eat healthy when everyone around you is eating whatever they want. The food diary is really helping me keep track of calories and to decide which foods I can fit in each day without going overboard! Good luck!

Wow!! I'm feeling behind the curve here! lol, I can only do 10 pushups at a time so I've started doing them at different times of the day!! I got in 30 pushups today total, 50 squats and 50 crunches...but my shoulders are killing me! Thanks for the comment Joanna! :happy: Meez are fun!

Oooh, hope you don't mind Joanna, I'm going to copy the meez idea for my icon! Such a great idea!

Tammy, I'll take my measurements on Sunday, I'm really hoping that they've changed since I haven't lost any weight this week yet! Of course it's picture time on Sunday too...we've got to post this week!! I guess I should get off the computer and do my pushups, those are my least favorite but I need them! Steph~ Welcome!…

Alright, sounds like Push-ups are the new challenge! Mina, I'm in the same boat you are, I would love to be able to do a "real" pushup and not just the girly kind!! :blushing:

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days! We had a big winter storm here this weekend, crazy weather!! Does anyone have any suggestions for a new challenge??? We've done crunches and squats so far...maybe pushups or lunges?? I hope everyone had a good week, I lost another pound, YAY!!!

Thanks Amanda! I can't wait to see my model shrink :)

Welcome Mina! The more girls we have motivating each other the better we'll do! I did my crunches and squats for today plus a Firm workout on cable :) My 2 year old attempted to follow along as well, too funny! I weighed myself at 147 this last weigh-in, down 5 pounds from Jan 1st!! My first goal is 135lbs since I haven't…

Are you still enjoying this site?? I love using the food diary to keep me in line on how many calories/carbs/fats/proteins I'm taking in, plus it updates your calorie intake based on your exercise!! :) Since I started this site I've lost 5 pounds, not bad for a little under a month! Good luck!

Last weeks challenge was 50 crunches, and this weeks challenge is 50 squats...so it's up to you if you want to continue the first weeks challenge and add on or replace it with squats...my goal is to build upon each challenge to create more of a habit so I can stay in shape!!!

Alright, I didn't get in my crunches everyday :( I did make it 5 /7 days though, so not horrible...this week we're adding a new challenge though!! This week is squats! I'm actually not sure how many I can even do so I don't know how many to set for the challenge!! I guess we can tentatively set it at 50 and if that's way…

This week seems to be taking forevor! I'm doing good with my crunches and diet, but having a hard time getting motivated to get back on the elliptical!! How's everyone else doing?

Yep!! Crunches are this weeks challenge which runs through Saturday...then next week we already have the suggestion for squats!! :)

Welcome! I'm also from Washington :) I've only joined a week ago and so far I love this site, I hope we can keep you motivated!

Alright, I got in 25minutes on the elliptical last night and 50 crunches (that was hard for me!) But I'm excited because I lost weight this week!! :happy: Original weight: 152lbs 1/6/08: 150 1/13/08: 148.5!!! I'm doing pretty good with keeping right around 1200cal and I didn't drink a single soda!! (this was my original…

Joanna, good idea! My thighs could definitely use those!! :tongue:

Hey girls, here's where we can post our stats and challenges and keep each other motivated!!! This weeks challenge is to do 50 crunche each day!!! And don't forget to post your weekly picture tomorrow on flickr and if you haven't already done so, post your measurements! :) Good luck!!!
