My name is Jackie :) I have 4 kids: my girls are 2, 6, and 9. My son is 13. I have gained about 30-35lbs over the course of having my kids, and I'm hoping to lose about 25lbs. My struggle is all of my kids' schedules as well as my husband's work schedule. It can get pretty hectic, so I struggle with making time to take…

Thank you so much!! I probably will :smile:

Thank you! I'll definitely look into that app! That's my biggest fear-walking in with no plan, and no idea how/where to begin!

So, not to sound completely oblivious, but what are 5x5's?? I've seen this in a lot of posts, but not quite sure what it is. Thanks so much for your input!!

Definitely going to look into this! I did the basic membership, so it is not included, but with the very minimal cost, I think it's wise for me to also begin this way. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe that's part of my problem--Being so new to weights, strength training, etc., I don't have a plan put together yet!

Like I said NOT spot reduce, BUT am I missing key exercise or tool! I'm new to this, so that is why I was asking! Thanks for trying to make me feel like a fool for reaching out.

I do the same. I weigh every morning, but Friday mornings are my only tracking days :)

I'm in!

I'm definitely interested! I'm a newbie and could use all the support & motivation I can get

Thank you! I'm 5'6" so I really don't think 1200 is enough! I'll check out that link!!

That is my problem area as well. I met with a personal trainer for a 1-time session thing. She told me to do squats & lunges often. So, I'm trying to do 2 sets of each, every day. I'll do, at each time, 3 sets of squats-15 reps each. And for the lunges, I'll do 2 sets. For my lunges, my first set is forward lunges and I go…

I have a question....I do my weigh-ins on Sunday mornings. Do I post my weight on this board, or am I suppose to send a private message with my updates??

Oops, this was meant towards Izzie!! I hit the wrong button! Still trying to learn this "system", LOL!!

That's awesome!! I am still struggling with my pullups!! I can do about 5-6, with a chair!! I'm hoping eventually I'll be able to do them on my own!! I'm thinking of joining a circuit training class at my Y, but haven't decided fully on that yet. But, seeing the calories you burned during your session sure makes it more…

Well, I had my first weigh-in this morning, and.....I LOST 2.3 POUNDS!! I now weigh 148.8!! Guess this new-found cardio is really paying off!! Gosh, I sure hope this downwards trend continues!! Hope everyone is doing well with their workouts!

Well, now that my internet is back up (Thanks a lot storms!!) I figured I'd post a short bio! I'm 29yrs old & have 3 little ones at home--8, 4, and 1. I've always been in the 130's for my weight, well up until I had my 2nd 4 years ago! I've struggled since then to get back down. I also run an in-home daycare, so that…

I've had the videos for a while & done them off and on. I am actually just getting ready to start up again this coming week. I'd be happy to start up with you if you'd like!!

Oops, I guess I should add....My 1st "mini goal" is 140 pounds, and my final goal is 130 pounds!!! I saw the chart and figured you'd need this info!!

I'm so excited to start this group!! Let's go Mama's!!! We can do this :happy:

I'd love to join this challenge!! I have 3 kids--8yr son, 4yr daughter, and 1yr daughter. I'm back to my weight before my youngest, but I want to be back where I was before my first son was born 8yrs ago--So, I've got 21 pounds to go! I weighed myself this morning and my starting weight is 151 lbs.

I know it's already the 5th of May, but I'd love to join, if this group is still open?? My current weight is 150lbs. Here is a breakdown of my goals: CW: 150lbs Goal 1: 140lbs (June 1st) Goal 2: 130lbs (July 1st) *Hopeful Goal*: 125lbs

Hey there! I'm also pretty new to this site & also recently started the p90x, and I have a weight loss goal of 20-30 lbs. I just started the lean program last Friday. I feel the same way too, in that I can't lose the weight! I'm not the greatest at counting my calories, but I do know that I'm at 1200 or less each day. I…

I know I replied already that I was in, but I forgot to update yesterday with my current weight. Yesterday, April 1st, my weight was at 150.8!

I'm new here, so I'd love to start a new challenge with a fresh new month...Count me in!! I'll post my beginning weight on Friday! Gosh, can't believe it's April already!! Good luck to everyone!:smile:

I will definitely join this challenge!! I'm new to this site, so that would be a great motivational step to get me going!! I'll send you a message on Friday with my April 1st weight.

I'd like to join too!! I'm not a "member" of WW for financial reasons. However, my mom is, so I have the book and calculator. I just recently began following the new PP info. Hopefully a combination of WW and this website (I'm only 1 day into this site!) is just what I need!!

I would LOVE to join that group!! Could you send me the info???
