Hi! Can I join you guys?

I'm trying to keep on track with my goal of exercising 5 days per week. I usually go to the gym or swimming before work, and now I just completed Week 1 of C25K. Still can't believe I started it!

Hi, new to the forum but really liking what you all do.

Currently following the video here:

Better to have people talking back rather then just following the vide0...

WELCOME LADIES TO THE BEST GROUP OF CHICKS OUT THERE!

BTW...
I got on the scale this morning just because I wanted to. I normally check on Saturday mornings. BUT this morning I checked and I lost 2 more pounds in just 3 days!!! I was soo happy! I was supposed to loose 2.5 by this Sat. So if I keep this up I should be at 20lbs down on Sat morning

Wish me luck ladies!!

This is my workout now,
-Resistant Bands(7 stretches 20 reps each)
-40 Triceps extends 7.5 wights(extend weight from behind your head to cealing, never letting your arms pass your face, always behind your head)
-10 rolling push ups with my husbands free-weights
-Zumba DVDs

Trust me when I say, I'm pretty damn tired when it's over, but super proud!

Welcome Annetexas00 and rainbow84uk

Annetexas00- I tried to look up the website but my computer wouldn't let me due to it being a dangerous page.

rainbow84uk- I'm also doing C25K and just finished week 2.

loriherdz congrats on the 2.5 lb weight loss. I had to look up what a rolling push up was. I might just have to try one.

Today I lifted weights. I do sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, reps for each body part. I lift heavy to failure on the last two sets of reps. I sometimes rest for a minute between each one and sometimes I do all 4 than rest for 2 minutes. I change the exercises every 6 times to keep my body guessing. I do this for both upper and lower body. I am able to do this all from home with free weights. I love the feeling I get when I am done lifting weights

Did week 3, day 1 of C25K today and I finally realized that I do not enjoy jogging at all. I had to jog 3 minutes at one time and I hated every second of it It was just awful. My husband tells me it will get easier but it sure doesn't feel like it. I wish all the snow here would just go away so I can go for my long walks everyday.

So I haven't exercised in a while...but this thread really inspired me to get out there today and go for a 30 minute walk. Thanks ladies! I am going to join your thread to keep my inspiration going!!!

[Emma4444]

Welcome KYgirlinSC 30 minute walks are my favorite.

[Emma4444]

Tomorrow is my day off from exercise and eating well

Today I did a 30 minute walk with incline. Monday I plan on trying to jog one more time.

Gee Whiz, You girls just keep on trucking! It's been a busy spring break-no school-full time on the farm. Things are finally slowing down on the farm. I have been watching my snacking b/c I can get into trouble when at home.

Emma4444-I would have quit the c25k by now-you deserve an award!

loriherdz-I like your work out.

I'm trying crosfit training with a local group cardio-stregnth-core. 6 sessions

Welcome Annetexas00 and rainbow84uk

[KYgirlinSC]

Well I did exercise yesterday, I did a 30 min bike ride...today no official exercise but I stayed active for most of the day! Emma4444 hope the day off was good!

[mrsj2013]

KYgirlinSC-Welcome

Staying active is just as important as regular exercise. Fitting movement into our day any way we can. As soon as the snow finishes melting I'll be back to walking outside.
Happy Easter!

[Emma4444]

This morning I did C25k day 2, week 3 and it was great I slowed down to 4.4 mph and lowered the incline all the way down and what a difference. My heart rate dropped 22 points from the last time I jogged. I finally think it maybe doable, well maybe because in a few days I have to jog 5 minutes straight

mrsj2013- I had to look up crossfit and wow that looks like a workout. Let us know how it goes.

[mrsj2013]

Emma4444-I'm going to "try" th crosfit exercise group. It's open to all abilities and I know the instructor. I enjoy group exercise better than on my own. Starts next week!

I belong to a local weight-loss support group called Tops. I had lost 93.75 lb over 3 years 2001-2003. I've gained 1/2 of it back. Tonight I weighed in with a loss of 1/4lb. It was my second weight-loss in a row. The rest of the group gained this week and I credit exercising and journaling here with not gaining.

If you want to see my before pic check out my blog.

You all are awesome, keep it up!! We can do this.
Went for a short walk after dinner Sunday, walked 3 miles Wednesday, and 1 mile yesterday, will work out this evening after work. Will try to do better

Welcome to all you new gals! Glad you found us over here. The more the merrier!

Sorry i haven't been checking in, but I have been getting ready for my upcoming surgery on the 23rd. I spent 4 hours two different days this past week just getting my pre-op paperwork ready because the hospital is over 4 1/2 hours from my house.

I have been faithful in going to the pool to exercise though. I have gone 3 days per week and...drum roll please...I finally did 200 stomach crunchies yesterday so I have met my exercise goal for this month. I have also lost enough pounds to drop into the 170's. I have worked very hard and I plan to continue to exercise next week, but then I will have to give it up for a minimum of 4-6 weeks. I am in hopes that I won't lose all of my toning so that I will have to start over.

I will be reading what you gals are doing and posting when I can while I am laid up.

Blessings to everyone ,
