Yeah I hadn't updated it yet ;) Thx! Also I found out the pool I swim is 50m, how do I figure the miles for swimming? Is it actual or is it converted?

07/12/11 D5L1 TOM is thinking of visiting, so I missed yesterday (to exhausted & fatigued and found it very hard this morning) On a tiny up note, w/my 10lb kettle ball I was able to do all the side lunge w/raises! I also found out I prefer to spread as far as I can, it actually makes it easier

That is AWESOME progress!!! ETA: Someone said to rename your folder or picture W/O spaces and the links will work =) MFP can't translate the %20 (which is code for "space") ha ha name it BeforeAndAfter OR Before-and-After (etc)

7/9 = 2.4mi (walked) 7/10 = .4+ (.4walked, also swam for about 45min, how far is that? not a fast swimmer, just up and down the length of pool dodging people, ha ha)

WOW I've gained 2 lbs AND 1.5" (all over) My body is apparently NOT impressed. ha ha

That is TOO funny =) My manx kitty was resting under my left arm during the chest fly press =D (i guess she didn't want me to drop my hand to the ground to hard =P Yesterday was D4L1 (after swimming all afternoon) I was one pooped cookie! ha ha I would have done (D5) it this morning, but I was too tired from doing it too…

Week 1 = Taken July 11th (Reported July 11th) Thighs: 43.75 inches (22" =L / 21.75" =R) Arm: 24inches (12" =L / 12" =R) Waist: 30.5 inches Hips: 38 inches Chest: 39.5 inches (175.75) Difference: -.5" (difference overall +1.25") D5L1 of 30DS, so I'm adding muscle but not loosing the fat over it?? :(((

D4L1 (very tired after swimming this afternoon)

D3L1 (plus going to crawl up stairs w/hubby later tonight)

Regarding the Stretching Warming Up/Cooling Down I do a pilates/yoga 10-25 min video (just a random one I find through netflix) the afternoon/evening after I do her video in the AM & it has kept me moving through hers smoothly! Since pilates is about flow & control, it actually helps release the tense muscles from her…

I do for knee support =) and to keep from slipping on our carpet floor =D

I'm in small town just outside the Flinthills of Kansas, we have 2 gyms here and they offer Zumba drop-in's for $5 or the 6-wk course for $30 (equals about $2.5 class if you make all of them)

I hear you guys! I wish I could find a reliable walking partner! (I don't gym much due to $$$) But I work my butt off anyways!!

Um, your responses are even less reputable now. "the fact he tasted it" Um, DUH, it seems it was a side invention as part of a new internal medicine, that means it IS something that was intended to go INSIDE you. Maybe something you should not take 24/7, but it was intended to go inside you (the main point why your "tasted…

I would say "yes" as it aids in the new term "muscle confusion". Your body gets used to a certain routine, then you mix it up, but I bet you could also change up which routine you do "first" ;) Like 1st Round Lvl 1 Lvl 2 Lvl 3 2nd Round Lvl 2 Lvl 3 Lvl 1 3rd Round Lvl 3 Lvl 1 Lvl 2 etc, etc

Actually you can add as many as you want, these are the areas I keep track of:: (I manually entered the area "name") Neck Waist Hips Thigh - Left Thigh - Right Arm (upper) - Left Arm (upper) - Right Chest (under bust) Bust (across nipples) Upper Bust (under armpits)

This is DEFINITELY real NSV :flowerforyou: Measure! Measure! :love: That is a number that gets smaller MUCH faster! (And those inches determine what size clothes you wear, not #'s!!!)

Sorry I missed this question! :embarassed: This is how I figured the weeks for this month's challenge: Week 1 ≈ 07/01 - 07/09 (you get 2 bonus days) Week 2 ≈ 07/10 - 07/16 Week 3 ≈ 07/17 - 07/23 Week 4 ≈ 07/24 - 07/31 (you get 1 bonus day) Hope that makes sense! :huh:

You can do either =) Just add a quick note so I :flowerforyou: add it correctly to the spreadsheet! (I didn't think about that actually at first) :blushing: (mine is cumulative otherwise I'll loose track for my own self :bigsmile: )

Dumb question I'm sure =D When do we find out if we made it? Thx! :flowerforyou: Anne

Great work everyone!! Updated spreadsheet:: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWq8Ca1b4hfdDZzM1JxbmF6NHlnUzAzZGxWU1ZFY1E&hl=en_US (link stays the same, just easier for everyone to find this way!) My stats as of 07/07/2011 (still have todays to do!) ☼ July 400 Core Challenge ☼ * Goal : Monthly * Week 1…

07/08/2011 D2L1 I only had to stop for 2 JJ reps (have bad knee) and almost made it through the last ab workout w/o stopping! Definitely was able to keep up little better then just yesterday! WOOHOO!! Ü <--- big smile, ha ha I'm hoping this will help my measurement challenge results!! Plus a beach vacation at end of…

7/7am = .4 mi walked 7/8am = .4 mi walked Total Miles for Week 1 (7/1-7/10): 10.18 (or 10.2)

681 minutes down as of this AM =)

R. Anne 5' 4" Reason for joining: I have no local workout buddies (tried w/my in-laws, but they have different schedules). I'm motivated to loose weight and would love someone that is in the same boat as me. I do need to warn that I am unable to get online on the weekends, but do to my desk job I am able to log on…

Thank you! =) I love this site way too much ♥

Have you talked to a dr (or OBGYN) about a possible vit supplement? I know dietary iron is better, but for me I have noticed when I take my vitamin supplements (small daily under-doses, as I'm "healthy" otherwise) about 1/2 wk before I start / through the week of TOM, I have a much better time (I have very hard periods)…

I'm still here and still going! =) I had lots of personal things come up late in 2010, so I quit for awhile, but I'm back and looking for the results again! =)

Just got the DVD last night & did it this morning, wow L1D1 and I could keep up w/part of it, but had to modify 1/2way through push-ups. And the very last set of crunches, I could make several reps. stop for one count then go again

I second the gloves! or some sort of palm protection! Also do you have netflix? (edited to correct spelling, ha ha) There is a crazy old bird (retired figure skater) that has learn to skate videos on there and... she teaches you to fall "correctly", teach your brain what position to get in so you don't get hurt when you…
