Spring has sprung! Well...hopefully! It should be sprung by now! :-) Leg raises, mountain climbers and punches! A pretty easy month I think! With the punches...you can do them with weights or without! April 1 Leg raises - 5 Mountain climbers - 8 Punches - 10 seconds April 2 Leg raises - 5 Mountain climbers - 10 Punches -…

March Challenge!!!
Sit-ups, push-ups and wall sits this month! As always, modifications are fine! To be honest, I couldn't do a "real" push-up to save my life! March 1 Sit-ups/Crunches - 20 Push-ups - 15 Wall sits - 10 seconds March 2 Sit-ups/Crunches - 26 Push-ups - 16 Wall sits - 20 seconds March 3 Sit-ups/Crunches - 30 Push-ups - 17 Wall…

February Challenge!
February is going to be a short month...so enjoy it! :-) This month we will have planks, lunges and tri-cep dips. The lunges are "per leg" so don't even try to fake that one! The plank schedule is from a running group I'm in so I just incorporated it here. Planks have a different rest day than the others do...lunges and…

Groups/Teams
Ok, I have created small groups of 6 people each. I'll send out the list to each person so they know who they're with. The point of the groups is to help with accountability. Help push each other and be there for each other. There 5 separate groups. If you are not friends with everyone in your group, you might want to…

February is here!
And...so is Groundhog Day! That little weasel saw his shadow so...we have 6 more weeks to get our bodies in gear! LOL Honestly...I'd like to take a shovel to Phil...but I love animals and so I won't go out there. He's a cute thing even if he never has anything nice to say! Let's get this February challenge under way! There…

Almost done with the first month!!!
Soooo how's everyone doing? Hanging in there? This last week or so has been super hectic at work and so I have not been keeping up here very well at all. Thankfully...I have some super teams kicking butt and keeping track of each other! I'm trying something new...I'm going to take a break from my scale. I didn't weigh…
-
Week 2 weigh in!
Thursday is here again and time to hit the scales! How did everyone do? Unfortunately, I had a small gain but I am back on track this week. I know exactly what I did wrong. I allowed myself to emotional eat and binge ridiculously (I should've started the challenge after my birthday because that just sucked *kitten*!!!).…

Introductions!
Let's take a quick moment to introduce ourselves to one another! Most of you know my story. Some of you know more than you want to know. For those of you that are new to my challenges/friends list...I'll fill you in here. I was obese pretty much my whole life. I was over 200 pounds by the 8th grade. At my highest, I was…

What's next?
I know that most months part of the daily challenge for the month will include legs because...well...I need to focus on them for my running. LOL I've also had requests for arms (triceps) and planks and crunches and things like that. What else would you all like to do over the next few months?

Friends???
Being friends and supporting each other is the key to reaching our goals. We all have different goals...but the road to those goals is very similar for each of us. Not everyone in here is friends with everyone else in here. If you are interested in having challenge members send friend requests...post here so people know…

Tracking spreadsheet!
I've created a google doc for us to track the important things...and...the things we might want to forget! Weigh-ins are on Thursdays (with January 1 being the first one)...and last one being...well...when I get tired of doing this! There are individual tabs along the bottom for miles, steps (pedometer, fitbit, Vivofit,…

January 11th
Happy Monday everyone! How's everyone doing? We need to get this group moving!!! I'm going to work on groups today and tomorrow (this weekend got crazy busy). Once I set up the groups (which will be completely random I swear) then everyone can work on picking a "captain" if they want. You can do it however you want. The…

Totally freaking awesome!!!
You all are *kitten* amazing! Do you know that? Most of the week 1 weigh-ins are on the spreadsheet. In fact...13 out of 18 are in. I totaled up the loss and we are at 50.1 pounds lost in one week. ONE! 7 days? Do you realize that you all kick *kitten*? Holy hell! What an amazing week 1!!! I feel so empowered right now and…

Day 7 already?!
How was the first week for everyone? Burpees and squats done? How's the eating? Workouts? Tomorrow is our first weigh-in...don't forget to update the spreadsheet!

Friends / Teams / Partners
If there are people that you are not friends with in the group and you're interested in having more friends...might I suggest sending out friend requests. Like I've said before...the more support the better! Over the next few days, I think I'm going to try to pair people up so they can help push each other. I will post…

It's never too late!
The more friends the merrier. The extra support is always important. That being said...we're already on January 8th and I've had people ask if it was too late to join. NO. Absolutely NOT. NEVER! My initial thought for this challenge is to just keep adding monthly challenges to the torture spreadsheet...however...our…

This is OUR group. OUR challenge.
I know I created it. I know I master-minded it. It's ok. This group is here for all of us. Please feel free to create your own posts as you feel so inclined. You don't have to wait for me or you might fall asleep! LOL

New year, new goals...
Right? Ok, so we probably have a lot of the same goals that we've had the whole time we've been on MFP. Maybe we've tweaked them. Maybe we've added some. Maybe our bucket list has changed. One thing that doesn't change is that we need goals and we need help achieving them. I'd like to pretend that I've done all of my work…

The more the merrier!!!
If you have friends that are interested in joining in on the fun/sweat/torture...please feel free to let them know about the group. The more support the better!!!

Roller Coasters...then and now
I blogged about this a little earlier but thought I should share it here as well! My weight loss adventure has been a long one but I'm finally seeing successes both on the scale and off. Here's the link to my blog... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/gkeith1971/view/that-was-me-563310 Approximately 20 years ago, I was at…

What do you call your...
Playlist??? Ok so obviously you have to name them on your iPod, etc. What do you call yours? Mine is titled "Run Forrest Run" since the music is used to help me in my C25K training!

Thigh gaps...are they really that important?
I often see posts about thigh gaps and what they are. Posts asking "how do I get one?" Are they that important? I'm fairly certain I don't have the genetics to get one on my own. So...I'm thinking of asking my plastic surgeon to install one. He needs to make his money! I wonder if it would work. Can he do that? Do I want a…

We welcome you to...
ONEderland la la la la la la la la la la la (hear the Welcome you to Munchkin land song in your head?). This is my theme song! Not Munchkin Land (I'm 5'9") but ONEderland. A place I never thought I'd get. I set it as a goal...but I've set lots of goals in my life...I don't typically get to them. I've thought having a…

Nice, warm BACON!
I tried to put the picture on but I'm a little slow today. But...apparently...you can find anything at all on Pinterest! Anyone want to snuggle up with some bacon??? http://i.imgur.com/QEC8D.jpg

When do you decide...
That you're succeeding? When do you decide to post here? Under SUCCESS STORIES? I've thought about it but always thought I was being a bit silly. So...I never do...until now. I'm fairly certain that I can say I'm succeeding. I have had many NSVs and many BASVs (Big *kitten* Scale Victory) as well. I started out walking…

A woman's week at the gym...
Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal…

While I appreciate...
A man's option to go shirt less in public...there were at least 5 on my lunch walk that I wanted to ask to cover up! Really guys...if you've got it flaunt it was not in reference to your very pale, ever expanding beer belly! :sick:

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored!
I need to be entertained!!! Why is MFP so stinkin' slow today? Where is everyone???
