How is everyone this Wonderful Wednesday? I did my BoxMania class this morning followed by the challenge to which I added 40 crunches, 40 reverse up ( not sure what else to call them) and 40 v-sit oblique taps. Let us know what you did today.

I got mine on March 1st. I have used it mainly to track sleep and steps. I don't use it to log food or exercise since I already do that here. I do like seeing my sleep patterns and how many steps I take. With the little sayings it keeps me motivated to move more.

AmyM - good for you! I wanted these to be challenging but I don't want anyone to become injured. leisha - Awesome workout! I tried a modified squat challenge last month where day 1 was 25 squats I made it to 165 before the pain in my knees got the best of me. If you have any specific areas of types of exercises you want to…

Shelley - No, I didn't get a nap. And what a sweet puppy! Chris and Shelly - I need to find out where you have hidden that fountain of youth! ASAP!!! Today wasn't such a good day at the gym for me. On Sunday I took a tumble and I feel like I have been hit by a car. I am fine just a little bruised and sore. I did do my…

Good to see a few of you trying the challenge. Today I did a 45 min In-sync rowing class and a 45 min spin class. Then I did this challenge. I needed so ab work so I threw in some crunches to top it off. Enjoy the rest of this Terrific Tuesday!

I did this two times after my BoxMania class this morning. Now I want a nap.

I completed this workout after my BoxMania class this morning...now I want a nap. :yawn: I was a little slow on the mountain climbers but No girlie pushups for me this week. Happy Monday! Jennifer

These look like great personal challenges. Check in with us as needed for a motavation boost, a high-five or just to let up know how it's going.

I'm baaaaaaack! I actually missed not doing this workout the last three days. : ( I was hosting my daughters 4th birthday (Garden Party) and just didn't make time for myself. However, on Friday I managed 16,481 steps, Saturday 12,832 steps and on the day of the Party I put in 20,391 steps. Then I tripped over a toy and…

Chris it must be nice to walk with your daughter...I walk with my 4 & 6 yo and it's not that relaxing or enjoyable. LOL My older son lives too far away to have his company. Shelley all I can say is WOW! 3 burpees are kicking my butt and then all those push-ups. WOW WOW WOW! Here is a link: check it out.…

I'm not sure what type of challenges you would like but I could give it a try. Just let me know.

I am getting this workout in after I finish my regular work out at the gym. And I am going to try and work in the Ab workout but you ladies are hard to keep up with...but enjoying the challenge! Jennifer

Glad to see you kept this up for April! I have done the first three days after my classes at the gym. Love this challenge!

Final results #1 I have only missed my 30 twice. #2 I made it to145 squats. My end goal was 205. I started at 25. #3 Have been been within my macros almost every day. #4 I still found it difficult to burn 1000 calories. I switched to my HRM and I burn a lot less than what MFP says. However on I did manage cocaistancy and…

I'm Jennifer

You are already moving in a positive direction and with the support of your family and the MFP family success is within reach. Good luck and congratulations for Starting Agian. its never too late. You can add me as a friend if you would like.

Hi all, My name is Jennifer and I have 4 children. I was pretty ;happy with my weight until about 7 years ago when I had my 3 little boy. I always gain lots of weight when pregnant but this time I was 41, then because that was so much fun I had a little girl 3 years later and to top it off I had a hysterectomy 1 year…

WhataBroad- you are a machine! Thinking I really need to step up my game! :smile: So far this month it has been great. #1 I have only missed my 30 twice. #2 I am up to 110 squats. I started at 25. #3 Have been been within my macros almost every day. #4 I am finding it difficult to burn 1000 calories. I switched to my HRM…

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. That is what I have been doing...just want to make sure I was right. Some of the girls in that class are killing the calories and I have to keep reminding them I much older than them but I am there Keeping UP with their young bodies.

You are doing amazing! Even being stuck for so long you kept at it and you can really see the difference in the photos.

I just started having problems with mine doing the same thing. I did notice that my bra was folding up under the strap so I made sure I used a different bra and I still had problems today. Tomorrow I will make sure the strap is clean and wet before class. Hopefully it will work and I will get a correct reading.

I have never trained for a Tri but I have thought about it. Sounds like it will be a great challenge. I have trained for a completed a half marathon. Even though it was tough I enjoyed the training. I also had a great training partner. I wish you the best and keep us posted on your progress...I just may work up the courage…

What a great moment and on your birthday. I can't wait for that to happen to me. Happy Birthday!

I am not a granma yet...but I will be one day. What I wanted to share was my mom. This past winter we went skiing with my children and I invited my mom, my kids were thinking she would sit in the lodge most of the day drinking cocoa and boy did she prove them wrong. She skied all day and was looking for more the next day.…

A friend had the lapband and yes she has lost weight. However, she is no longer as much fun to be around she belches constantly, eats sweets all the time (cause they go down easy) and is FREQUENTLY throwing up because she ate too fast or didn't chew enough etc. She is much more short tempered and I would guess…

I started going to the gym a while back and was nervous at first as well. And the instructor said something like the hardest part of working out at the gym was getting in the door. I kept that in mind and continued going. Most people in the gym are there to workout and stay healthy and don't really have time to worry about…
