How's everyone doing? I couldn't remember when we started so I came back to check. Just one week left! I've missed about 4 days since we began. I really think it's helped to get my tone back in my butt, back, and somewhat my stomach. I think I'll probably continue after the month is over, too.

That's so awesome lydiakass! That's great progress! I got my body fat tested at my gym back in January and it was 30%. I got it done again last night and it was 25%!

Youtube has a million free strength training videos. Just type in whatever you're looking for, upper body, lower body, abs, beginner, advanced, etc. and you'll see there are so many options. I wrote this on GOMI but a couple of my favorites are Cindy Whitmarsh and Chris Freytag. Do you have dumbbells at home? I find it a…

Did everyone recover from the long weekend? I'm about to throw my scale out the window! I have been great all week but somehow from Wednesday to Thursday I gained 2 pounds and they were still there this morning. ARrrgg! I know that the number on the scale isn't everything...but it kind of is when you want to win your…

I washed my favorite jeans last week because they were starting to get saggy from wearing them too much and when I put them on today, they're still looser than when I first bought them! I'm happy about that. If they do become even looser, I'm definitely buying the same pair in a size smaller because I love them so much.

Welcome lydiakass! Sounds like last night was a great success! Keep it up! feelgoodnic, I totally know what you mean. Sometimes I have to take a step back, too. It sounds like being more relaxed is going to be good for you! I'm looking forward to making this an awesome September! I had some good indulgences on Friday and…

Loving this challenge! My *kitten* and arms are feeling it!

Day 4 done! Threatsofpizza, I hope you are doing okay!

Days 2 and 3 done!!

Done! Push ups were on my knees. Maybe I'll be doing them all on my toes by the end of the challenge!

I'm back up the 3 pounds I lost from my weekend at home, drinking and eating more than I usually do, plus i got my period yesterday. I'm hoping they will come off during the week. I am planning one last hurrah for this weekend to go out to a steakhouse and enjoy a couple glasses of wine and then September will be super…

Love everyone's attitudes! Keep it up, ladies! My scale's batteries died this morning and I was like, AAAArrrrrggg! How will I know what I weigh today?! ;) But no big deal, I'll just pick up new batteries tonight. I'm going through a flare up of my ulcerative colitis (just call me Tuna) and my doc prescribed me new…

Okay, I'll join, too!

EthelBelle, sounds like you're doing awesome!! Congrats on the 20 pounds!! Novezero, Congrats on the 40 pounds! I'm sorry about your mouth ulcers, that doesn't sound fun at all. I'm up a pound from Saturday. Obviously nothing to stress over since your body fluctuates day to day but I'm definitely going to strict for the…

I just downloaded the app and it doesn't look like you can see your groups on there, unless I'm missing it. Is that true?

Made a new account to have the same name as the forums. I've been using Sparkpeople for 4 years so this site is a whole new ballgame to me. I track my nutrition and exercise over there and I'll continue to do that and use this to interact with all you fellow hams!
