1. Eat what you enjoy 2. The whole point of dieting is so that when you do eat too much, it’s not an egregious mistake. 3. Don’t let missing a day or three of exercise derail you.

36 in SoCal. Been trying to get back on track. Lost five pounds recently and ready to lose five more. Yay! Have to be totes adorbs lol

Hey! How’s it going? Good luck on your journey to fitness! I’m just getting restarted myself.

Getting married in a few months and I want some friends to help motivate me to get fit for the wedding.

Oh my good gracious!! Week 6, Day 1 - why not just take in the back and shoot me now!? Today was definitely killer. I had to create two extra sets for the pushups I couldn't complete in the other sets... and I STILL couldn't do all of them... but I almost did, and almost totally counts when it comes to this (at least in my…

Week 5, Day 2 Gotta tell ya... when I saw the workout list for today it seemed a little more than daunting... BUT I DID IT!!! Even the last set of 25!! I officially have done 100 pushups!!!

I hear ya... I get days like that too.

Week 5, Day 1 Set 1: 17 Set 2: 19 Set 3: 15 Set 4: 15 Set 5: 20 I think I figured out I need more than simply a minute between the later sets... This sure does work my arms to the point of exhaustion, I tell you what!

and I just wanna say I'm so proud of us for doing this and following through and seeing results!! I really am very proud of us!

Week 4, Day 3 Set 1: 16 Set 2: 18 Set 3: 13 Set 4: 13 Set 5: 20 Total: 80 Holy crap I did it!! I BARELY did it... but I did it nonetheless!!

Week 4 Day 2 Set 1: 14 Set 2: 16 Set 3: 12 Set 4: 12 Max Set: 10 I was supposed to do 18 in the last set, but my arms just couldn't do it... they actually buckled and I went down for the count... But I tried... I did the best I could to the point of exhaustion and I'm fine with that.

holy crap cmelrun!! you're like... ripping this challenge apart!!

Havent tried doing that before... #inspired

Week 4, Day 1 Wow! I actually did it!! Set 1: 12 Set 2: 14 Set 3: 11 Set 4: 10 Set 5: 16 In my head I broke them down into halves, so I would count to 5 or 7 or 8 and then count to 5,7, or 8 again. Seemed to make it a tad easier.

Finally decided to do an exhaustion test... I can do 25! For me that's a big gain considering 3 weeks ago I could only do 5! lol that's like a 400% increase, right? And I'm starting to see some chest and shoulder development as well... which is nice because I have broad shoulders anyway.

Week 3 Day 3 11/13/9/9/13 This seems to be getting more difficult to do... it's definitely a challenge... but the fact that I complete it is such a boost!

Week 3 Day 2 Holy crap! Today was easier than Tuesday, but still difficult... I think warming up longer helped... 10/12/8/8/max12

Week 3 Day 1 - 10/12/7/7/9 Max set: 9 Today was super tough for some reason! Maybe I wasn't warmed up enough, I don't know... the first two sets were okay enough... the the last three really made me have to work.

Week 2 Day 3, final set: 20 I CAN DO 20 PUSHUPS IN A ROW!!!

I rarely ever get flirted with in person. And that's okay because most guys who are at clubs aren't worth my attention anyway. I am a strong, self-sufficient hottie in my own right. When I go out, I go with friends who are going to make my infrequent nights out fun for me. The only thing that makes my nights blah are when…

Week 2, Day 2 Was pleasantly surprised at the final set because the first 4 were difficult for some reason. Final set: 12 whereas before i couldn't even do 5! So... definitely progress! And some chest definition! Woot!

I work dual roles: human resources doing orientations for new hires and in retail at Knott's Berry Farm.

My knees have always crackled and I'm only thirty. When I get up from squatting down I sound like Rice Krispies. I've read that it has something to do with synovial fluid in the joints... but I could be wrong.

Week 2 Day 1: Definitely getting a bit easier... but that final set was difficult... for sure felt the days of rest in between week 1 and 2. But yay! so far so good. Max Done: 10 in final set

Met my fiber quota and didn't go over on fat or cholesterol

HAHAHAHA! I just look so beautiful when i'm naked and surrounded by damask!

It's just that... well... I like boys...

I don't get the whole "no homo" thing. If you're gracious enough to compliment, then be gracious enough to just let your statement stand on its merit. Boom. Problem solved.

a 7! :) wrong gender takes you down a point lol
