Hi ladies! Joining the challenge a bit late, but I love the challenges! My goal is 8lbs by the New Year! That will put me at 172lbs, which marks 50lbs lost and the halfway point to goal!

7.5lbs to go!

Insanity is a Beachbody workout by Shaun T (he also does Hip Hop Abs). They are CRAZY workouts!!! It's really high intensity cardio. You work for a few minutes at your max heart rate, then take a 30 second break and do it again. I've never worked so hard in my life!! There are previews on youtube.

I'm up for this challenge. I went crazy the last few days, and this challenge is what I really need right now. My goal is to lose 5 lbs.

I keep watching the Insanity previews... it looks really fun. I am considering a fitness bootcamp next year as well. It's a 12-week one, three times a week. TC didn't you do a bootcamp awhile ago? how did you like it?

Platform and tyle - welcome!! Sounds like you both have reasonable goals! I find that having a challenge really helps me stay on track during this month - however hard that is!

Just stopping by for my weekly weigh in...

Big drop this week, which is funny because I didn't exercise all that much. I was just trying to maintain with some craziness going on, but once I got back to the gym in the later part of the week, the scale showed a nice drop! :carrot:

How do you guys find these boot camps? Who is offering yours? I have always wanted to do one but can't find one or don't even know where to look for one.

lol... I just googled "colorado springs fitness bootcamp" and found a few. The one I'm looking at is run by a guy who has his own personal training company (not associated with a gym), and it's actually someone that my husband's coworker's wife (got that? lol) uses for her personal training. She raves about how good he is.

It's $500 for 12 weeks/three times a week. Which is hefty but it works out to just over $13 a session.

Fat Pants - Awesome loss this week!!

To find my bootcamp, I just googled "My city Boot Camp" and found a bunch. Granted, I live in LA so there are a million boot camps to cater to the health conscious folks. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd do it again. I'd definitely recommend it if you don't really know strength training moves to do on your own at a gym or if you really need a strict schedule and motivation, but I just didn't like having to go at a specific time and didn't really get close to the people in the class so it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. It's always fun to change things up though!

i've been going up & down horribly.. way more than usual. i haven't been able to workout because of my stomach (gallbladder surgery on friday) and a cold.. and my eating has been off track. I always get this way when I cant do my normal routine! but, i lost 2 lbs this week nonetheless, so i'm happy.

CONGRATULATIONS everyone on your losses so far!! 2 weeks to go!! :carrot:

5lbs to go! I'm going on a ski trip this weekend, so I'm hoping that will give me a significant drop for this week :D

Wow great job on the losses, everyone!!! I was thinking yesterday that now is definitely the time to stay focused... anyone else feel like their entire life is currently surrounded by food? between Christmas parties and customers/partners sending us food gifts at work... :yikes: We have two more parties this weekend and that will be it as far as the food temptations go... until Christmas, that is! :lol:

Sorry I haven't posted. As of last Friday I was 164.4.... less than that now, but I was on my TOM. According to that... -1.0, 6.0 to go

Weighed in this morning, and if my fiance wasn't in bed might have screamed. 159.4! For this challenge down 6 pounds, 1 to go! And down 5 from last weeks TOM weigh in
