I just started this one. I am on day 3. I do all of them together. I go between doing traditional squats and sumo squats with a kettle bell. I think when the number starts getting into triple digits, I may split the squats into 2 sessions depending on how I feel. If you feel like joining me in two other challenges that I…

I will be starting this May 3rd. I am doing the 30 days of squats with 30 days of pushups and I feel like I wanted one more thing to round that regime out. I already did my workout for today and tomorrow is my rest day. I think in 30 days I am going to need one hell of a massage! Even though I am late to the party, I am…

Wow. It seems like you have a lot to deal with. My suggestion is to speak with a professional. There are some serious issues that you need to deal with. Even if you call Dr. Joy Browne and talk to her, it's better than nothing. I know advice of telling you to call in to a therapist call in show is a little strange, but she…

Chicken broccoli and rice. It sounds bland and yuck but I lurve it.

I am doing a kettlebell mixed with HIIT 3x a week and cardio 2x a week. Monday and Friday are my rest days.

Looking good!

Congratulations! It's the best feeling in the world to look in the mirror and see yourself take up less of it! Keep up the good work. I started seeing some significant results today. No more double chin and my skinny jeans no longer give me muffin top. They actually fit me and are flattering! The scale was a bit of an…

Are your exercising at all? Are you just limiting your caloric intake to 1200? I'm a little confused about your question. do you just want to "save up calories" for the ren fair? If so I don't think it works like that. But I am not a nutritionist.

If you consider it cheating then it may be cheating. Although if you are still in your calorie goal and you eat the foods that you consider cheat foods, it's not cheating and there is nothing to feel guilty about. Like Dopeitup said; just make room in your day for it. I have things I will not give up because depriving…

I am thinking about taking the elliptical out of my routine and replacing that with a HIIT workout and adding the kettlebells. I think that may kick my body's butt into gear. Also I'm going to try eating my workout calories for 2 weeks for a net of 1200 and see what that does for me. How often does everyone else change up…

If you took the time to read the entire initial post, you will see that I acknowledged that it is going to be a struggle and I know that it will continue to be a struggle. I am frustrated at this point, I don't need someone pointing out what I have already stated in a negative way. I was asking for pointers, advice, and a…

Thank you both so much, Lauren, I am going to watch the video as soon as I get home from work. (Taking a few minutes out of work to write a post is easier than watching a 30 minute video.) It's good to know that I am on the right track with the strength training.

If you are going to the 90's wear the dress (#1) I totally agree with the boots as well! Also Props for so many MPLS people!

This is so true. Keep telling yourself that you didn't gain the weight in one day and you won't loose it all in one day. It's ok for you to have slip ups once and a while. As long as you don't use it as an excuse everyday. Everyone has had slip ups and set backs. Don't get discouraged. Every day is a new day to prove to…

I have cut out fast food and non diet soda. Otherwise I just watch the amount of things I am eating. I want to have a healthier diet in the long run and I am changing the way I look at food. Now instead of grabbing chips and candy for a late night snack I go for the sugar free jello and pudding made with skim milk. I've…

I had a roommate that was bi-polar and refused to take medication for it. Once a week she would have "The worst day of her life' and walk around the house (stark naked) wailing about how her life is amounting to nothing. She would then retreat to her room and come out an hour or so later and ask me if I would like to smoke…

Your arms look FANTASTIC!

Did you happen to reset the scale with the empty cup on and then weigh the cereal? Otherwise your scale is weighing the amount of the measuring cup as well as the cereal.
