AWESOME!! This is such a good challenge, I can't wait to *jump* in, haha! :wink:

Hello, ladies! My name is Katie, I'm 30 years old, one daughter who is almost 3, and a fiance who I will be married to in April 2014. It's taken me two and a half years but I have finally lost all the weight I put on while I was pregnant. However, I'm back to where I was before pregnancy, trying to lose an additional 15lbs…

So what does it mean to be a BeachBody coach? I mean, are you actually teaching classes, or is it more of a mentorship thing with other folks who are using the systems?

I've got a few pairs of skinnies that I just rock regardless. I make sure to get them long enough to cover my ankles, because the length helps to balance out my delightful hips and thighs. Then I pair them with some simple flats and a top that falls to about mid-zipper -- again, balancing out the hips.

How so? Pizza and pop tarts and stuffed cheesy bread and fish sticks? What would you consider junk?

I'm with you. Um, it's one thing to let a 5 year old have little snacks here and there. It's effing bonkers to give a baby soda. Are they nuts? Like seriously, that goes beyond the argument of whether to let a kid have junk food -- that's just plain crazy.

This. I don't wave to the person next to me on the elliptical machine. Why would I wave to the person I pass running on the sidewalk. We're all working out, not at a cocktail party.

Here's the challenge broken down by June's dates, starting with today, June 4: 6/4 - 30s 6/5 - 30s 6/6 - 45s 6/7 - REST 6/8 - 45s 6/9 - 1min 6/10 - 1m 6/11 - 1m 6/12 - 1.5m 6/13 - 1.5m 6/14 - REST 6/15 - 2m 6/16 - 2m 6/17 - 2m 6/18 - 2.5m 6/19 - 2.5m 6/20 - 3m 6/21 - REST 6/22 - 3m 6/23 - 3m 6/24 - 3.5m 6/25 - 3.5m 6/26 -…

Okay, I started this late. Having the 1st of the month fall on a Saturday totally threw me off. But I did my 30s plank last night. Actually easier than I thought it would be. But I'm nervous about the longer sets. Eep!

Hi! I'm coming into this late, but I'm totally game. Today is supposed to be a rest day so I guess I'm technically starting tomorrow, hehe.:tongue:

Bump to this! I believe it's something like an additional 300 cals a day that your bod needs to feed the baby, but definitely talk with the doc for specific recommendations, etc. Congrats!

Ignore the dates, obviously. We could start on June 1.

Love to see that there are some metal mamas! My hubby is in a metal band so he's introduced me to a lot of music I'd never heard before, and upped my love for bands like Alice in Chains, Faith No More, and 3 Days Grace. Love that kind of music for working with weights and strength training. But, for cardio, I gotta have my…

Oh my god, HOW do you live there? Haha, my mouth is watering just reading that list. Red velvet cake from scratch? Holy cow, that's a test if there ever was one!

I'm in the same boat. I'm getting pretty sick of reading magazine articles about celebrity ladies who "somehow" manage to balance their busy careers and still be fabulous. If I could hire a nanny/chef/maid, I'd have time to balance more stuff, too. It's definitely stressful. Sometimes I think, yeah, I could squeeze more…

I've recently started doing a Jillian Michaels video, Killer Buns and Thighs. Well, I've done it twice. But man! No wonder people see results from her workouts. They are tough! I still can't do the whole video straight through. That, and I've always found running to be the quickest fix in town. Not only does it tone you up…

I was doing morning workouts for a while, it was great. I really should get back to it, it really does set up your whole day to be awesome!

HA! What a little sneak he is. Glad it turned out to be so amazing!

The best thing for me at this point is to fit in exercise on my lunch break at work. There is a trail close by the office so I can go running or walking. I alternate days with doing DVDs at home, which are usually mixes of cardio and strength training. I just got Jillian Michaels' Killer Buns and Thighs, I'm excited/scared…

Hi ladies! So glad to be invited to another mommy group. I love my Sexy Mamas Unite! board, I've found a lot of friends and motivation there. But I like that this board has the specific goal of healthy living, there's so much more involved in that than JUST losing weight. My daughter is 2 (today!), and ever since I knew I…

I think what's important is that you are now recognizing the behaviors that you want to change. That's a huge step in the right direction. We all have times when we slip, or give in, or whatever, and the fact that you have changed your thought process enough to know that you're doing something you don't want to do will go…

Dude, purple cabbage! You know, the stuff that comes in salad mixes? You could make a big pile of it and have it cheat and do double duty for the blue and purple.

I want to go back and re-watch that season, just so I can wrap my brain around Bad Wolf better.

I've started subbing black beans for meat choices to save some money and cals. Even the canned ones are a 10th of the price of a package of meat and, at least at Safeway, the store brand goes on sale all the time. My fave is warming a can of black beans, mashing them up slightly, and using them in place of meat in mexican…

I'm glad I found this thread! I was just commenting with another MFP buddy of mine on how it seems like an NSV in its own right on the day that you realized how different your "normal" is to when you first started this whole journey. And how, once we get ourselves in the habit of eating healthfully and basically way less…

That was one of my favorite things about this episode too, the tenderness between 11 and River. I don't think I've ever seen a Doctor fess up to that kind of romantic love or show it so openly. I mean, WE all know that 10 loved Rose, but this was an episode of actually like, relationshipy stuff between 11 and River. I…

Yes. Yes to this a hundred times. I absolutely lost it when she disappeared, the look on his face, the look! Him begging her to come back and then actually breaking down and crying, omg, I actually literally wept like a damn baby.

:DD Love it! Congrats, girl!

I was so in love with ten that I was mad at eleven before he even appeared. But it only took one episode for me to love him completely. He brings this great silliness to the role, and he's hot in that strange, British, sort of not hot, but super hot, kind of way. Maybe he's just hot because he's the doctor, I don't know.…

Hey sister! First, huge huge congrats on your baby girl! That is so awesome! My daughter is a year and a half now, and I love every day with her. I'm trying to get back into shape so I can be the best mom I can, and MFP has been a great place of support. Feel free to add, I try to log on every day, and I belong to a couple…
