How often do you do this anyway?

Just don't be grunting and moaning and walk out with "wobbly" sore legs or people are gonna worry what you ACTUALLY do in the bathroom!:laugh: :laugh: (great idea though). Ya, we can just do it and report how we're improving, like the plank challenge thread. My legs are still sore from 2 days ago-wicked lower workout! Will…

I'm pumped-but if I have to do it daily, I can't start it yet! More damn surgery, travel in Sept. HMMM October? How else can I start it sooner?:grumble:

Here's a link...http://exercise.about.com/cs/abs/l/blexerciseball.htm. There are other variations, but we can start with this one! :drinker: You don't have to have anything between your knees, it's just for more muscle engagement. Keep the knees apart (square). Hands, and arms should be hanging down, not used for support.…

How long are the workouts?

You totally INSPIRE me to keep plugging along girl-way to go!

Do you take rest days, 3x a week or what? I did it today, and side planked. Thought I'd be stronger. My lower back gives out. And No:laugh: , he doesn't dare brag, or he can PLANK OFF!:laugh: :laugh: You guys are all doing great. My logest 1:53 with the shakes. Sides were about 1:15 each. I'm starting a WALL SIT CHALLENGE,…

Always do it first in the am, buck naked, before you've had anything to drink or eat. Personally, I find the scale ordeal too much for me, it sets me to a miserable start to my day, so I just go by how my clothes feel and keep working out hard!

Well, I'm 143.6 as of yesterday. Nothing changes. Can't expect miracles when I can't behave with my sugar eating.

Right on. We saw the sweetest one when we were on holidays at a pet store. My daughter and I wanted to buy it, but we already have a dog, 2 cats and a hamster. My husband said no way and dragged us out! It was sooo sweet. I don't know anything about them, except what your post educated me on, but I highly doubt it would…

We're planking right now in the kitchen! Me-1:45, my dh-3:00 (he'll prob brag, on and on about it later), and my 12 yr old 1:40. She's side planking right now. My lower back hurts...(excuses excuses). How often do you plank?

Banks:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Too late to join?

Well I worked out yesterday, and then my hubby discovered one of my kids left our freezer open. So I had to cook a buffet! And ate terribly! So My hubby and I went for a 3 mile walk after supper. It was brutal calorie-wise, but exercise was good. Later I have to do my legs and butt. Going for the hair cut today...looking…

Mine definitely got worse! Especially with a Husband and 4 kids pushing all the buttons! I've been on Effexor now for several years. I call them my happy pills and will not go off them till I'm done all this crap! Why do we women get the short end of the stick?:huh:

Way to go-keep up the good work.

Not much motivation people, I need help here....

I've been like this for almost a year. I feel better, think Iook better, but only my hubby has commented on changes to my figure. I'm not the cleanest eater though, no matter how hard I try. I won't even step on the scale cause it makes me sad. Some days I just want to say forget it all and quit. I have gained a ton of…

bump-how's the ferret?

Cheers Magg, I'm having a Tim's right now-people just don't know what they're missing.:drinker:

Hey guys, I forgot to tell you- I got the ok to go back to work-finally! After over 2 yrs! I have an Occupational Therapy assessment on Wed. to tell them exactly what I can do- the Doc and PT are very impressed with my flexibility- then the return to work meeting plan is on next Thurs. I really hope and think this is going…

I have to agree with Strawberry....

I'm in! Seems like the only challenge I have mastered is the exercise ones and the water. Hmmm-it's the dang food! Emotional and boredom eater for sure!:ohwell: It's my supposedly day off, but I'm gonna try the 100 push up challenge again. It'll be slower going this time:ohwell: Have a good day.

Congrats Chrissy! You look great! The scale is nuts, I know I look and feel better, but it just won't budge.:explode: On a prouder note, I finished the 6 week Squat Challenge-200 squats with 8 lb weights, 12lbs with Plie squats. My legs definitely looked more toned. Now I'm gonna try for the push up challenge again.…

What the heck is up with this thread? I'm having probs too deb! So last night again I blew it with the sugar. How do I ever break the addiction? All day I'm good and then come eve, I snack and it's usually on carbs-bad:mad: What do you guys do?

Hi guys-I hear Zumba is a blast. Well I was naughty again this weekend and got smashed with my lake buddies on the beach! Egad! Anyway, I happened to step on the scale last week, and haven't lost a friggin pound. So. the scale is officially off limits, cause I hate it so much! Chrissy, don't know how you do it! I just…

Happy for ya Rach-I'm soooo depressed today-probs with my oldest and I'm here at they lake...don't know how to get over this hump-especially while trying to stay away from crap.:cry: Damn stress, how can I get past this one....husbands don't get it. :cry: I can't even go home, I have friends coming here this weekend. My…

Hi all, just reading up on everyone's posts and noting we're all having our battles. Mine, as you guessed it, is candy. Chewy candy now. WTF? How do I break the addiction? I told my hubby our "deal " was off so I could I eat icecream -and believe me I ATE ICECREAM and candy. This am, I have 4 zits and feel dumpy, bloated…

HRM are a must! I have the Polar F11 I too got off ebay. More pricey but it's great. The f7 would be great too. Go with Polar though, I have had a few and it seems to be the best. Still haven't started the wii active, cause I'm on holidays at the lake, but am still exercising. Wish I could quit the sugar, oh well at least…
