I updated the first post to include an empty template. Hope that makes it easier for everyone.

Can you explain how you started the thread-- techno chick?

Too funny. Never been considered a techno chick, so thanks for the laugh If you are at the main forum page (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/ideal-protein-diet-236/), look just above the threads on the left hand side of the screen. There is a button that says "new thread".

I TO WANT TO EXERCISE TOO!! I was going to start walking this week, but will wait til after this challenge. Ya know I am still not sure why some walking or stretching would hurt, but will wait til next week. Last week I went to observe a toning class my friend goes to 1x a week. It starts up again first of April and I know my thighs are begging for walking and toning.

Looks like our weights are pretty much exactly the same, let's try the exercise regime next week and see how we do! I am planning on swimming laps. I float like a cork so it shouldn't be too much exercise for me. I will eat a bit more protein but stay on protocol, as in no restricteds. I have a party to go to april 2nd, and I need to do whatever I can to go to it as slim as possible. It will be a family affair and I have always been the chub sister. I won't be the thinnest, but I'll be a lot slimmer than I've been in the past 10 years. Professional pictures being taken! That has been a very scary concept in the past.
You in?
Mary

Yep. Let's do it. I plan to walk at least a mile a day, on the treadmill I have or around the neighborhood weather permitting. I have to find the callenetics (sp?) dvd I recently bought. I have the book and the old tape for a vcr too but no working vcr. It is a FANTASTIC toning tape, works, is "doable" but tough. The concept is gentle movements so you can work into more reps as you gain strength. Have you heard of it or done it? My legs are happy to know their time is next week.
Join us IP gang, maybe someone w/ techno skills could start a 1 week exercise thread. Any takers? Thanks mamarix
