Start anytime! Post your stats here!
Yup, whether it's the 1st or 5th of Jan, just start! Take your measurements, weight and a few pics...I promise you will thank me later when you have something tangible to track by. I'm going to post mine on the 2nd, when I finish my Dec 30DS challenge. I can.not.wait to see my measurements!! I have resisted all month, so…

85+ lbs GONE and counting (hopefully a LOT of pics)
This is my first official picture post and I needed an esteem boost today, so I was flipping thru old pictures looking for inspiration and thought I'd share. (as horrifying as posting pictures on the intra-webs is, I'm willing to take the risk now) Just an FYI: I'm 5'6", 33 yr old, always have been athletic, and…

Monday Motivator!
Wow, here's a 1 year difference...I always go to this Japanese restaurant for my birthday where I have chronicled about 30+ years of weight flucuation thanks to their silly birthday pictures. ;o) I gotta say, this may be my best year yet! 2011 birthday: 2012 birthday:

This week...the challenge is: increase your workout time by 20%. It doesn't matter what you do, just push it a little longer. For my 60…

30 Day Shred
Here you go shredders! This is one amazing workout, for sure!! It's 27 min including the warm up and cool down...you can get the DVD for around $10 almost anywhere: Target, Amazon, etc. It will differ for everyone, but I burn about 200-285 calories per workout..I have the Reebok HRM. I am just finishing up Level 3 and I…

Introductions
Hey friends! So, I thought this challenge would be a great way for me to get to know all my new MFP peeps. I had no idea (seriously) what my post in the success stories would do to my inbox! I literally went from zero friends to over 100 in less than a week...it's humbling: all the kind words everyone took the time to…

Group Classes, yo!
Are you the type that needs a set time of day for your workout, does the crowd around you push you through your workout...love having someone tell you EXACTLY what to do in your routine? Yup, me too...and honestly, I like looking in those big 'ole mirrors for motivation! (haha, I never thought I was so vain, until I…

Week 2 Challenge
Good Day friends! Well, here we are in another week of challenges. I have been racking my brain for a good one (took me 2 weeks, oops...hey I'm on an island vacation, we go a little slower here) lol So, last night I was looking thru the forums trying to come up with a really great challenge. I thought originally I would…

Week 1 challenge
Happy New Year friends! I was hoping to post a somewhat easy challenge to get us kick started, but then realized the one that I think we will all benefit from if we change nothing else...is actually a really hard one! This is a challenge, so here goes: DRINK ALL YOUR WATER!!! (I'm really only yelling at myself) ;o) I'm…

which workout?
So, which workout are you gonna do? I can start a thread for each one, and you can head there to log your workouts. I am gonna def stick with my walks and I'm gonna do another JM vid. If you need a rec: do the 30 Day Shred...it's def do-able even for a super beginner. The first day I was taking tons of breaks, now on Day…

DVD's at home workouts
I am giving Ms. Jillian Michaels another pat on the back for 'Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism'. I just did this 40 min workout and I've burned over 650 calories and I'm still cooling down...HR is still 100! I was dripping in sweat within 10 minutes!! As you may know, I finished the 30 Day Shred in December...I lost about 6…

C25K
This is one I have wanted to try for years!! I so want to be a runner...I mean, I want the body of a runner and those damn 'highs' they rave about! I do a version of this on my walks now and when I have to be on a treadmill at the hotel, I do intervals. However, I would really like to run for a full 30 minutes. I plan on…

Man vs Machine
All I gotta say is the stairmaster people! I have several friends that commit to this every day and the burns are ridiculous!! For some of the guys: a 60 min workout is over 1000 calories! Chicks are logging over 700!! DUDE, that's just awesome! About 6 years ago...the last time I had lost a significant amount of weight…

Walk it out, Walk it out!
Now that I have 'lil Wayne stuck in my head...here's the post for the walkers! My regular neighborhood loop is just over 3 miles, pretty much a 5k. When I first started it took me about 55-60 min to complete this. Now, I average about 45 min and if I'm hustling I can knock it out in 35 minutes! This week I averaged about…
