asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2007/02/19, 07:01 PM Yes - stats need to be in by this weekend - You will start this challenge next Monday! Then I think it will be good if we do measurements every two weeks after that.

It will be hard to start off with as I'm going on vacation next week for about 12 days, and I don't think there will be a lifting facility where I am going :( But perhaps this will help me get back on track when I get home! -------------- 80 lbs. to lose - Yes this changed down 20 lbs!

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2007/02/22, 11:47 AM You did it right frnchfry81 - and it looks drastic in print - but keep in mind you don't count vegetables towards your acrb count - so you still get 1/2c dry oats for breakfast, a small (4-5 oz) potato for lunch, maybe an apple or some berries with your am protein shake, and 1/2c brown rice with dinner, unless it is an all veggie dinner night. That is a lot of food - i don't want anyone feeling deprived - you are going to be creating a deficit by working out intensely...eat good food! -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.

msmogreen Posts: 717 Joined: 2006/04/22	2007/02/23, 11:14 AM Amy--my training partner is planning to join freetrainers this weekend so she can get in on the challenge officially, if that's okay. She's going to be doing the workout either way, but I think she'd really benefit from the diet as well...and from being a member of freetrainers, of course. I explained to her that she will need to send her measurements to you by Sunday.

bouncerboo Posts: 14 Joined: 2007/02/02	2007/02/25, 09:01 AM Well, let the challange begin! I've got to pick up a few things at the grocery store so that I'm not raiding the kitchen for food! I've printed out the training and cardio list - I'm not too sure what all the weight exercises are - yet... I'm ready for a change! and also some motivation and encouragement, especially when those valentine conversation hearts are looking up at me from the tupperware bowl saying "I'm yours"
Deni Posts: 119 Joined: 2004/06/07	2007/02/25, 09:25 AM Welcome BB! Glad to have you join the challenge. As for the exercises, Amy has posted some great ones that don't need a lot of fancy equipment (thank heavens!). You can Google each of the exercises and you will find a lot of sites with pics and instructions for doing them. If you need any help, I can send you some links. -------------- Deni ------------------------ To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France
