    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    I know that friday is supposed to be my weigh-in day, but I decided to weigh myself this morning, and I'm down 2 pounds! So, since we started this challenge in June, I'm down 10 pounds. Feeling good about that - the progress has been really slow, but its nice to see that in total I've lost...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    Hi everyone (Tuesday today), Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of days - just a little busy at work and home... Let's see - on the weekend I did a 15K run plus STS TB. I'm not sure I really like that workout. There is so much equipment, and it moves quickly between sets. I was pausing...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    Good morning all - this morning was LBB for me (did the extended version with the barre at the end). I find that Butts & Guts is tougher than LBB - but LBB does have a fun factor and I like Cathe's attitude and coaching throughout the workout. Well, its always good to mix up the workouts so...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    OMG Shereta!!! I nearly laughed out loud here in my VERY QUIET office when I read the last part of your post - BAM like clockwork!! Oh my goodness :) I'm laughing so hard on the inside. Congrats on the weightloss - I really agree with you about the paleo diet. ALTHOUGH, I have been adding...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    Good morning - this morning I did Cardio & Weights, but upped the intensity by raising my step to 8 inches and using heavier weights than Cathe uses. It made the workout much more challenging. Plus I love the feeling you get from using heavier weights. I'm really liking myfitnesspal - it...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    Happy Monday girls! Tina - are you ok? Sounds like you've been through the wringer!!! Shereta - woo to the hoo on the inches coming off! The scale is so deceptive. Its so much more fulfilling when the clothes start fitting better. I had a good weekend with my in-laws but indulged a...

    !!!!!! Weightloss Challenge - Oct 12th

    Hi guys! I'm down 3.5 pounds (I haven't weighed myself for a couple of weeks, so I didn't lose 3.5 in one week, but in two). I'm feeling good about the direction I'm going with my workouts, and actually feel a sort of relief that I don't need to push it so much with the long hard cardio...

    !!!!!!!!Weightloss Challenge 10/5

    Hi everyone, Thanks for the suggestion Sue on replacing a heavy cardio day with Hiit. I'm going to do that. Just because its only 30 minutes doesn't mean it doesn't do anything! I have to change my attitude about that (always thinking that cardio has to be 60 minutes plus!). This...

    !!!!!!!!Weightloss Challenge 10/5

    less cardio? Hey girls - so I've been doing some reading on the dangers of being a cardio junkie, that it can actually slow down your weight-loss. While all the science makes sense, I've become programmed over the years to think that the more cardio I do, the more weight I'll lose. I'm...

    !!!!!!!!Weightloss Challenge 10/5

    Hi girls - this morning was IMAX 3 - not as hard as I remembered it to be. Maybe the running has really helped to strengthen my legs. I joined Myfitnesspal.com to track my calories etc. Hopefully it'll help me keep on track. I'm great during the day, the problem is when I get home and have...

    XTRAIN- Tshirt and/or Tank for Motivation and inspiration?

    Hi SNM - Would it be possible to have this t-shirt produced in a material other than cotton? Even if a non-cotton option is available in addition to the cotton t-shirt, that would be awesome (no chafing...) :)

    Hi guys - Sue - sorry to hear you're not feeling 100%. Hope you'll get some energy back to tackle your workouts. Sometimes though we just need to take a break (mentally & physically). This morning I did Low Impact Circuit. I really enjoy that workout. It has great music and a really...

    !!!!!!!!Weightloss Challenge 10/5

    Happy Monday girls! Its actually a holiday for me (Canadian Thanksgiving), so I've been enjoying having the day off and taking things easy. We went to a park with our doggy and enjoyed the fall colours and autumn sunshine. Shereta - congrats to you on your awesome run! You sounded soooo...

    !!!!!!!!Weightloss Challenge 10/5

    Hey Shereta! Good to hear about your progress. My weigh-in is on Monday, and I'm hoping the scale shows me some love!! Today was CleanMax - but after dinner I decided I had to get my workout in. So I did Slide & Glide, which I haven't done all the way through in a very long time. Its a...

    !!!!!!Weightloss Challenge - 9/28

    Good morning - this morning was Turbo Barre LB Express. I haven't done this one in a loooooong time and all I can say is "ouchy!!" Tina - I laughed out loud when I read your quote from Wait Wait - I think that was my favourite segment of the show last week! :) Its so good to hear that...

    !!!!!!Weightloss Challenge - 9/28

    Hi guys - my shoulder is doing better this morning, still a tiny bit sore, but I'm not going to complain. I really we need a new bed, because I didn't do anything to strain my shoulder, but only felt sore after waking up the other morning. Another unexpected expense!! I hate how you can be...

    !!!!!!Weightloss Challenge - 9/28

    Good morning - my shoulder is feeling slightly better. I did Afterburn this morning, and when it came to shoulder presses, I just didn't raise my arms above my head. One of the last exercises is lateral raises, and I just did bicep curls instead. No way I could do those lateral raises! So I'm...

    !!!!!!Weightloss Challenge - 9/28

    Hey girls - I am in so much pain right now. My left shoulder hurts so badly I can barely move my arm. I have no idea how this happened - maybe I slept on it funny? Its been hurting all day so that puts a kaibosh on my workout plans for tonight. I was going to do Afterburn - but my body just...

    Good morning girls - not feeling so great this morning, but its still nice to read all your comments/experiences/challenges. Nice to know I'm not alone. I weighed myself this morning and I'm up 4 pounds from the beginning of the month. Really feeling down about that right now. But I...
