Thanks! That pic was from my sister's Disneyworld wedding in July. I did some major crash dieting :nono: so I wouldn't be the fat sister/bridesmaid. This time around I am trying to drop the lbs the right way for good.

RememberHowToSmile, megphilly, SpinQueen, 5factorgirl, song of surly, zamzam- great job everyone, you're all doing so well!!! We're getting such good exercise, we're all gonna be so sexxxxy! haha

okay- i'm late but i'm here!

goal for the month is to do the 30 day shred EVERY DAY (BONUS- twice a day or another exercise video)

i'm stealing this idea so 30 day shred= :barbell:
at LEAST two hours of cardio (bonus=3 to 4)


unrealistic? maybe. but i have absolutely no time to make up for all the slacking i've been doing. i'm off my fat meds and there are no more excuses! i'll officially start tomorrow but as a pat on the back for myself... i did the 30 day shred today

Okay, so I'm jumping in mad late here, but I think I'd love to join any way!
Challenge: Do 3-5 sets of 10 pushups every other day, have at least 45 minutes of activity each day (activity meaning, something that creates a light perspiration or waterfalls of sweat or anywhere in between)

Current Weight: 143
Goal Weight: 141?
my basic idea is to lose about a pound a week. Hopefully not less than .5 pounds and not more than 2 pounds. Otherwise I get mentally a little wackadoo.

OKAY!

WEEK 2
March 18: walked 6.5 miles home from rehearsal (this was crazy!)
March 19: walked 3 miles partway home from rehearsal
March 20: walked 7 miles pretty slowly, 3 sets of 10 pushups
March 21: did 15 minutes of lunges, squats, abs, pushups

WEEK 3
March 22: 2 hour caipoera class, then about 45 mins of intense yoga and half an hour of free movement
March 23: SORE! 15 minutes on the elliptical, 35 minutes on the stationary bike
March 24: 2 hour caipoera class, about 45 mins of intense yoga and 45 mins of free movement
March 25: ....nothing yet!
