I'm definitely doing the jeans challenge for Christmas. That would be awesome and motivating cuz I'd hate to open them and they not fit.

Been off the horse this weekend and yesterday with daughter's birthday stuff. Will be back at it today on week 2. I feel like I'm falling behind but as long as I don't quit I'm ok. I'm pushing myself not to get so bad that I'm not doing it at all. It's been hard lately. I feel like I'm fighting my family sometimes where I…

I order beef and broccoli with steamed rice and I try most times to save some for a small lunch. Eating about 1cup of rice with 1 cup of beef and broccoli isn't too bad. I have 2 chinese places I go and one of them has a thinner sauce which helps too.

Well I didn't get to my workout this weekend. It's my daughter's birthday weekend so with errands and a party I haven't had the time. I will be back to it tomorrow still on week 2. NSV - My family all noticed how much thinner I look. It was the first thing my mom said to me when she got here and that's a big deal with her.…

No loss this week. But I went up 2 lbs. during the week and have now gone back down so that's good. But no new loss. I think mine could be from some muscle gain or muscle water retention too. We'll see how this week goes. I'm not making any progress in this challenge weight wise but my clothes are fitting better and I'm…

Well my weight is coming back down. I think I was retaining some muscle water weight. Hopefully I'll see some good numbers tomorrow.

W2D2 complete. I didn't burn as many calories today but I had less energy so it was harder to get through. But I do feel it working all my muscles. I'm sore. I may go back to week 1 tomorrow for a break and possibly a jolt. I think mixing it up every few days is good for me. Then on Monday I can go back to week 2.

I know that your weight can go up a bit from doing intense workouts because you're muscles will retain water. However, can it be so bad that you gain 2lbs in water weight? I did awesome yesterday and worked out but went up today another pound so now I'm up 2lbs. I don't remember it being this bad before but this time I'm…

I just saw this game yesterday on tv and thought it really looked good. It could be a good workout like zumba.

I found that the crow pushups were pretty easy but still worked good if you leave the push up part out. So if you just do the leg part you'll still do some good. I try to do the push up part but if you're upper body strength isn't quite there yet then that may be a good modification. Also I've seen on other videos that if…

I'll have to try that. I tried doing it while leaning a little forward and that helped but I don't know if I can still get into a bridge from that position. I'll see tomorrow.

The side lunge legs lifts were doable but definitely uncomfortable. I felt it in my hips too. I'm hoping that I just need to stretch them more so hopefully it will get easier.

Daisy80 - Sure, we'd love to have you. I think there are a few people on here who are on week 3 also so you'll have someone to talk to about what you're doing. The rest of us are here too. Welcome.

Well yesterday was my be bad day because I just did what I wanted and I didn't workout. So obviously I went up today again. But today was a new day and I've been good with food and I did all my exercises. I'm in a better mood today too so that's helped. I hope to see some loss tomorrow but I really hope to see something…

I did 300 today.

W2D1 done today. Moving up seemed to help because I finally got my calorie burn back up. It was 163 today. I wish I could burn in the 200s like some of you but I'm not sure I'll ever get there. Hopefully what I'm doing will make a difference before this thing is over. I actually liked this workout better than week 1 even…

I'm not keeping up with a total but I know I've made up for the days I missed so at the very least I am caught up but I think I've gone ahead a bit. I'm trying now to get in at least 300 a day because it's been so doable and if I have energy I try to do more.

I hope today my workout really does some work in me. I'm getting frustrated in the weight loss department. I lost a pound yesterday but went up .2lbs today. I'm going to do my best to push hard today.

Ok so today I'm not a happy camper. I've been working out really good this week so far and not eating junk and today I went up .2lbs. Granted that's not much but yesterday I went down a whole pound and then today I go up. I don't get it. The only thing I can think of is that I'm not eating enough calories and have real…

I finished at 400 today.

I think a bunch of people complained about them following the rules and didn't like them so they decided to get rid of them since their stated rule was only MFP tickers. I think it stinks. I forgot to add that many people are upset, like me, because they didn't make any formal announcement so no one knew it was going to…

I think I will try W2 tomorrow and see if I can get my HR up. I think I'll like having Shelley as the advanced girl because that will push me harder than her calling my name out as the modified girl. Here's something odd where I want my workout to kick my butt.

So now that they've taken away our signatures is there a plan to keep up with everyone? Or are we going to just use the google page? I miss my ticker and was really looking forward to changing my weight on it this weekend. I'm bummed.

Does that mean I need to move on or just push harder?

This weekend won't be good for me either. It's my daughter's birthday so there will be cookie cake in the house: my favorite. I'll do my best.

Just finished W1D4. I'm getting a bit discouraged in that I feel like I'm working hard during the workout and only modify a couple of times and do the advance in others but I'm not burning many calories. Then after I'm done I tend to recover rather quickly. My heart rate goes back to normal and I can breathe fine. I'm just…

My goal for this week is to lose 5lbs so maybe I'll win that challenge. Although there are a few people on here that are just dropping the weight like crazy. It's up for grabs I guess. I'm doing good so far.

I'm up to 300 again today and I hope to get in another 100-200 before lunch.

Glad I could be of some inspiration. That does wonders for me. I'm doing good so far. Today I've been the best I've been in a while with both eating and exercise. We can do this. Most if not all of it is possible. Let's do this!

Welcome, I'm on W1D3 today so we're pretty close. I need the group as well to stay motivated. The thought of being able to post that I did it keeps me going. The thought of not being able to post that I did my workout pushes me to get off my butt.
