Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

hey, thanks 1pound...I can't wait until you are there too! I've gotta show you guys a little something that is very inspirational to me...

Take a look at Sarah's pictures (iyamamaschke) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/iyamamaschke/my_photos

She inspired me and encouraged me and supported me to do this:

Doing that again is what this challenge is all about for me. Transforming my body yet again. For the next six weeks, I don't care what the scales tell me. I care about what the tape measure and what my clothes tell me...and the photographs I'll take when the six weeks are up.

Oh, and Sarah, I did my workout tonight (posted in the bodybuilding thread) and if I didn't absolutely love you so much...I WOULD hate you right now!! LOL

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Cher, it looks fine to me. You probably have it cached on your computer in a larger size if it's showing up big on your computer. I don't know how to clear the cache on a mac or I'd tell you how to do it.

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Joy - I changed the size in photobucket and replaced it. it's a lot smaller now. It was huge the first time. How did you get your pictures to show up side by side? Did you do that in photoshop?

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Hey Cher...cute picture, you look great.

Well I finally got the WATP video. I did the 1 mile walk today (about a 20 minute segment). I know it's not much but it's a start. I liked the video in general. Probably too easy for you hardcore exercisers! But I was felling it in my legs and arms...just wish it had better music. There is a two mile and three mile walk on the DVD too so I'll work my way up eventually.

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Liz, I'm so proud of you for doing your videos! Once you do them a couple times with the music they have, you'll get the routine down, and then you can put on your own music to do them with. I have to do that with some of my videos. Just take baby steps to start, you'll get better and become more fit as you progress. When I first started, I could only do like 5 mins on my elliptical. Then, I got the Slim in 6 videos...and they are TOUGH. Honestly, I never made it past the beginner one. Even with the weight training I do, I still can't keep up with that video LOL

The whole point is for you to move that body and get that heart rate up. You're doing such a great job already!

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Well, did my measurements today...have my starting point for this challenge.

Exercise today was walking. Yesterday, did walking and some weight training. Have to really get back to more cardio. That's when I saw the best results with both weight loss and inches lost. Now that summer is here, it's easier for me to get into a routine again. Just need to make sure I stick with it again when school starts up again.

On another note...Joy, your new pic is absolutely gorgeous! You are doing so great!

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Thanks qbu. Sounds like you have your plan in place. I'm back to alternating weight training and cardio today. Did my leg workout and tomorrow I'll do my HIIT cardio on the ellip.
