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…

Ready to kick off turning 50 and taking time for me. Name: Jennifer Starting Weight: 226 Goal weight: 160 Sleep: 6.5 - 7 (currently 5.5- 6) Weekly or daily steps: 10k /day Calories burned: Weekly weight loss:1.5 - 2

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!
