Day 46 done.

Those half up bicep curls are no joke.

My shoulder clicks so loudly with the lateral raises. It doesn't hurt, but the sound drives me crazy.

Mine does with the around the worlds.

I need to get the fit test in today. Yesterday was a shitshow (literally).

[kittyforman]

Still working on catching up from being sick and then out of town last week. Did days 41, 43, and 44 this am. Will do the fit test and measurements tomorrow.

[Bluebird]

I'm a few days behind and won't get to the fit test until next week. I've only lost like 4 pounds since the beginning, but I am feeling more toned, and I was able to wear a fitted dress this week that I've been too self conscious to wear for months because my tummy is a little bit flatter. Progress!

[Lord Disick]

I really don't like that arm workout.

[loony]

I did the fit test today. It wasn't fabulous, but I did improve in most areas.

I'm up in weight, but I'm also supposed to start my period any minute now, so I'm going to test again in a week and see how the bloat affects things.

Day 45/fit test. Not sure how this compares, I need to look at my old numbers.

41
112
31
26
21
11
12 (less than before but got all the way to the ground on all of them)
48 sec

Day 46 done. Arms hurt. Briana is 1000x more annoying when I work out at night and actually have the tv turned up louder.

[milano]

I just did 45&46. I almost didn't do either because I feel like garbage today, but MH said it might make me feel better. I pushed hard and crushed my last fit test numbers! And then felt like total jello during the upper body. I'm so glad I just did it though.

I did the same thing and my upper body workout really suffered. It was a good reminder why I shouldn't double up.

[loony]

I've found I can do upper/lower doubles, but if I do cardio with a strength, I suffer.

My legs are still pretty sore so I took a rest day today. Including an Epsom salt soak, ahhhh.

Day 47 + C25k week 6, day 1 done.

I slept 9 hours last night and haven’t drank in a week so I actually kicked ass today. It was a unicorn day for sure.

Hope all of you that are feeling ill feel better soon. Rest and drink lots of fluids.

I live for epsom salt soaks.
A general PSA: Costco has Dr Teels epsom salts for really cheap.

I did the fit test today, and only improved on Burpees and plank from the last fit test. All of the other moves were within a couple reps. I can definitely tell a difference in my endurance from being sick over the last 10 days, so I'll take it and just keep working.

I am super happy with my overall progress. Since starting I'm down 8lb, 1.5 inch from my bust, 2.75 inches from my belly, and 1.25 inches from my hips (as well as 0.5-1inch from other areas).

[milano]

47 done. My legs were still sore from the fit test yesterday, I'm looking forward to Monday rest day!

My weight was the same, but my thighs both went up an inch...definitely muscle.

I saw an article on SELF today that showed pictures of people at flabby weight and then at exactly the same weight and completely toned and fit.

That's my goal. I know that I have a number in my head that is completely not attainable if I'm strong and fit. I need to go by how my clothes fit and how much more I can do without being winded.

Definitely. I have a lot to lose, regardless. My initial goal is to get to 170, which at 5'5" is still considered "overweight." I've been at 175-180 before and was happy there, so if I could get to 170 and then focus on toning and endurance that would be fabulous.

Day 46 done. I met my goal of working out 6 days this week!

[kittyforman]

46 and 47 done. Both workouts felt really hard, but the good kind. My arms and legs are jello. Almost caught up!

[Deleted]

Just did 46 and 47!

Same here. I can't really imagine myself in the 130-150 weight range.

I have a close friend who went from about my weight now down to super fit and in shape, probably like 130lb. But when she was my weight she was like 4 pant sizes bigger than me. So I just don't think seeing the scale that low is ever in the cards for me, which I'm okay with.

[Deleted]

Day 48 + Jessica Smith abs done.

Those burpee leg lifts can fro. And the baby crying was super annoying to me. I’m an asshole, but.....I hope she doesn’t do that again.

Happy for the break tomorrow. I’m going to try to get a run in.

[Deleted]

Day 47 done. My butt looks good, I know it.

[peachsmama]

I've been behind so I haven't checked in much. But I finished up week 6 and did 1 of week 7's workouts. I have a plan to get caught up. Lets just hope my kids don't sabotage me. LOL.

I am hurting. I think I need to go back down in weights for the arms, because every time I do it with the heavy weights, I tweak my neck and end up with monster headaches. I had a headache from Friday night through this morning.

So, I took 3 days off and will jump back in tomorrow morning.

Ouch. I think reducing the weight is a good idea. Do you think there's a certain move that causes the tweak?

The reverse fly and the lateral raises. I felt it in my neck when I was doing them on Friday and knew I was going to pay for it. I tried so hard to keep the weight in my arms and not my neck or shoulders, but it just didn't work. I clearly need a lot more time with the lighter weights.

I have trouble with those too. H said I shouldn't be using my neck muscles but I don't see how I can totally disengage them.
