  • I was over on my intake today, but not by too much. I did walk 2 miles with my kiddos this evening. I love walking with them, we get to talk and exercise with distractions. I love reading all your posts and I am trying keep up. I have consistently logged and exercised for 5 days. Sorry I'm working on names and who says…
  • Just tried to catch up with all the news of the day. What an amazing group of women! I was able to get in 4.5 miles today with my little one's, and yes they are my children they are 6 and 9. I also have 2 much older children, one in the Navy and the other becoming a fireman. I eat out of boredom and stress and my body is…
  • I just turned 50 today and decided on the 1st that I had had enough. I have been through many levels of fitness and weight and even ran a 15k 2 years ago. But my weight is starting to really affect my health and my life. I am beginning this year with the following goals: Walk 4-6 miles everyday. Log every meal. Drink more…

  • https://fitbit.com/user/3NJ6J2 I've had my chargeHR for 2 days and am looking to start some challenges, please add.
  • I have one and have been wearing it since March. I like how it records my sleep and my steps, however I don't use it to record food though.
  • Make sure you didn't make a mistake in the email address. I had trouble finding them some as well and it was usually a typo. Good luck, you can add me Jennifer Garcia
  • I have had mine for a few months and love it. I have noticed I increased my step count, now I just need to keep it up. Always looking for new friends. Jennifer Garcia
  • Good evening ladies, Sorry I have not been on as much... Finding computer time is hard. My back is better and I have been trying to do what I can. The hubby and the kids wanted to take the boat out for fishing and beach time... So, I tried to get a workout in by walking in the sand and walking up the sand dunes...climbing…
  • Did the challenge with the burpees yesterday and ran several errands...somewhere between errands and sitting in my car waiting for school dismissal, I strained my back. :( It doesn't bother me when I sit or lay down, only when standing and walking. Needless to say I did not do the weights today, I did go to my class and…
  • Hi ladies I have only been MIA on the computer. I had to plan and execute a banquet for my son's high school band program and many other end of the year school activities. I have been making it to the gym and getting in these work outs. I did the new workout today....WHEW! I really felt strong today and used 10 and 12…
  • Hi ladies... I have really missed checking in with you. I had a great time camping with family and friends and enjoying the outdoors. While I wasn't able to do our challenges I did do a lot of walking, some hiking that included hills, rocks and mud and really had fun. Just wish it hadn't been so cold. I was able to get to…
  • Chris what a lucky gal you are! 33 years is Amazing. I have a pretty good one this go around it's been 9 so far. Mine is only home on the weekends for now thats why I don't get much more than a walk and this challenge in. I have been a little under the weather for a few days, made it to the gym got in a little bit but…
  • Shelley I am doing the upright row and the bent over row and I did use the weight bar for both. For the tricep weight behind back lift up and away and pulse. I will mix it up wiyh the kickback to see which one i feel more. Havea great evening. Jennifer
  • Did the new challenge today after my row/spin class. ALL of it this time. LOL I am still having trouble with the side plankes...my shoulders and arms are the problem. On the rows and curls I used a 24lb weight bar, on the Presses and flyes I used 8's and on the kickbacks I used a 30lb bar and did pulses. Because of my neck…
  • I was able to do this yesterday...even with my kids getting in my way. So afraid I'm going to knock one in the head with a weight. : ) I am going to have to do this one at the gym to try and figure out my weights, I have 5's at home and I didn't really feel it. Shelly I'm not a big fan of lunges either but they are good…
  • What a great group already! I'm Jennifer, I'm 47 years old and have 4 kids (22,17,7 and 4). This is going to be great for me to be accountable and push myself beyond my comfort zone. I am currently averaging about 2400 workout calories a week, so I think I am going to try for 11,000 - 15,000 for the month of May. Good luck…
  • Chris I'm all in for a burpee-less workout too. It's a shame they really workout the whole body. I might be on your side of the US this summer if I can fit it in. The girls I work out with for my classes think I am crazy that I add this challenge to the end of my workout..so much so they are starting to join me. :laugh:…
  • Ok ladies just adding a few more really got to me today. But I did it! Chris - I watched that core video you suggested and tried it. It is pretty challenging and I don't think I have a slippery enough surface. I was able to get 2 small circles to the right...but only one on the left. Shelley - still snowing...living in…
  • It's mid month....how is everyone doing? So far I have kept up with all my personal goal except one. I was doing really well decreasing my Diet Dr. Pepper intake, however the last few days I have noticed and increase. Thoought I would check in and hold myself accountable. I hope y'all are doing well with your challenges.
  • I know it's a day late so what did you decide to do? I have actually done both depending on how I felt. There have also been times when doing yard work was the only exercise I did. Hope you had a good day.
  • Chris - silent squats? I'd never make it...I start moaning and groaning whenever I get to 25 the more I do the more noise I make. : ) Shelly - I liked the exercise, something different to shake things up a bit. I am still here plodding along...finding I am getting more achey at night as we add more to the count. I'm not…
  • Is anyone trying this challenge? I have been doing it after my classes and boy are my abs talking to me. : )
  • I also saw the Boot Camp Challenge and was interested. You bet...I'm interested in changing it up and adding or taking away. Just let me know. Jennifer
  • I have been at a stand still for the last several weeks. Yesterday I was at 207.8
  • After several days of sick childen and yucky weather I am ready to get back into the gym and start knocking these challenges out. I have been such a slacker mostly due to lack of sleep...but look out world I'm ready to push past my comfort zone. Jennifer
  • Mine is also black, they didn't have any other color in the sixe I needed. I do like the little information/tips it gives. Like today it suggested I try and top my steps frion last Saturday. Just a little challenge.
  • I was not able to get the challenges in today...had a sick little boy. I have great intentions of doing them tonight when all the kids are in bed.
  • Chris - 300+ JJ's...Way to go! I did not make it to the gym today, instead I got to spend 2 hours in the tax office. (Does stress induced sweating count as exercise?) Then almost 3 hours in the doctors office to find out my 6yo has strep. I have a meeting here shortly then after I get the little ones off to bed I am going…
  • Okay ladies today was a GREAT day at the gym! 60 min BoxMania This challenge, both sets today! : ) and I added 40 crunches, 40 reverse-up (I made that name up) and 40 (counting one side) v-sit oblique taps. I feel energized and ready for more! Wishing everyone a Wonderful Wednesday!
