I will meditate 3 times weekly for 10 minutes…Instead of building on this habit, I let it slide. Oh well, starting over.

I will attend an ashtanga yoga class once a week for one hour. I will park far away from the store. I will purchase cold weather running gear, and cold weather gear for the kids, so that I can take them for a walk for half an hour daily, regardless of weather. I will walk my daughter to the bus stop rather than driving her to the school. I will turn on silly music to dance to with the kids once a day, in the morning. I will not buy sweets or junk food, and will instead by healthy foods such as yogurts, cheeses, nuts, and fruit to snack on. I will sit down on the weekend and make a grocery list for the week so that we will not eat out when we don’t have enough groceries and I can’t make the trip that day. I will pray with the kiddos every night, and spend my last 5 minutes awake meditating.

I will take my daughter to preschool in my running clothes so that I can go directly to the cliffs to run (at least 3x per week). The other days I will practive yoga.

I’m going to try the walking with longer strides and see whether that makes a change in my lower back pain. This is not my first attempt at exercise, but I do hope it will be the one that sticks.

Mornings truly are the best time for me to get up and exercise. I have no excuse other than the urge to be lazy and stay in bed a few more minutes. The time for laziness is OVER!

I have an elliptical machine. I will go on it for 20 minutes tomorrow afternoon after my appointment.

I’ll be following the 1 to 5 minute muscle toning sets outlined in “The Power of 5.” The routine outlines 10 to 15 minute sets daily. I’ll add the treadmill in the evening. The only other equipment needed is a 5 lb. weight. I’m good to go!

I walked 15 minutes to start today-doctor’s orders, as I have ongoing health problems. But at least I have started! Plan to walk 5 days a week, adding minutes every week as per doctor’s orders. Have bad arthritis, so some days will be harder than others!

I think more hours are needed to include the challenge into a routine.

I dusted off my treadmill that I haven’t used in a year because I was pregnant and felt too yucky. Now that baby is almost 4 months old, it’s time for me to get back in shape. I am going to get on it 3-4 times each week.

I commit to exercising at least twice a week for a half hour. I will employ my husband as a motivator and ask him to go walking with me. It is my goal to lose 8 pounds without dieting- just exercise and healthy eating- and become aerobically fit.

I bought a wii fit and have been doing workout on it. It is great fun,you can go head to head with others. Makes you want to do more…

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol. When my doctor gave me a fat, sugar and sodium-free diet to follow I thought I was doomed to eating tasteless food for rest of my life. All I have to say is thank heavens for Kashi!!!! Delicious food that I (and my doctor) feel good about. Thank you for caring about your consumers!!!!

back at the gym this week looking to work out 6 out of 7 days. monday – upper body, tuesday – cardio. loving this web site and the community!

I just signed up at the gym and have been going anywhere from 4-7 times a week. I challenge my self never to go under 4 times a week without going to the gym.

Walking 2 to 4 miles a day and started eatin healthier.

I just bought a new elliptical last week. Every day for an hour and half. I want to run a marathon.

I did five squats while standing on inflated ‘fitballs’ today! My challenge is to overcome fear of safe exercise. Despite loss of feeling in my feet and hands, I want to keep active to the best of my ability. I enjoy healthy eating; expecially grains and vegetables.

I started my day with a 2.8 mile walk, and ended it with 40 minutes of yoga!

i am going to walk 2 miles today.

I will walk to the mailbox today.

I am going to dust off my yoga mat, and do tummy and leg workouts

im think im going to try to eat a little more veggies and lay off the pepsi and see what happens oh yeah and im going to try walking more!

I need to workout on a regular basis. I get bored easily with my workout routine. I just ordered the wave workout and I think it will be a better way for me to workout, cause I am trying to sculpt my self and get rid of some fat in certain areas like abs, hips thighs and butt.

Woking out when possible every other day. Most of all eating healthy.

I started a game plan to do more for myself this year and have a personal trainer who motivates me through workouts and drives me to feel better about myself. I have a goal to lose 50 pounds this year …one step at a time. With the support of my family and the focus on me, I know I can do it. Having Kashi snack bars and cereals to keep me straight on the healthy eating front helps too!

lifting 5lb weights along with exercise and walking a mile a day

running at least 3 miles 5 times a week again :)

I’ve been quite good about riding my exercise bike since Christmas and walking around our little town instead of driving when I need to go to the library, post office, church, etc. I’m trying to back off on overindulging in sweets and breads, my main weak spots. I’ll never give up good breads, but I won’t waste calories on crummy packaged breads that have no fiber or good chewy yeastiness!

I am 51 and have been struggling with my weight all my life. I do continue to exercise 5-7 times a week. I work out with a personal trainer twice a week and do the rest on my own (swim, run, weights). My goal this year is to cut back on chips, breads and chocolate (my weaknesses). I find the older I get the more I crave these things. I do love the Kashi cereals and snack bars. They are life savers!!

I never exercised before but I started at the age of 28. It really does the body good along with a healthy diet!

I am 54 and really just want to tone. I exercise faithfully 5 times a week. I joined a gym and got a personal trainer for this purpose. I know I can do it I just need to stay motivated.

I’m 58 and very active. I literally feel guilty, though, when I don’t have regular workouts (cardio) minimum 3 times a week. We hike, swim, 4 wheel, camp, cruise and much more. It’s just too easy at these times to really “pig out”. In last 5 days, I haven’t done anything anything but slough off, as I’ve convinced myself I deserve the rest because I’m getting ready for a 24 hour drive for annual visit to Oncologist in Louisiana (one of very few who specializes in rare form of cancer I have: in remission now!) Due to meds I have to take every other day, I can only work out the “other days”! Tomorrow will begin my 1st ever challenge I have ever posted any where: online or “anywhere”, seriously, because normally, I am very disciplined. Will either do an hour on treadclimber here and Cardioglide w/free weights or will go to Community Center and use Ellyptical, Recumbant Bike, and Treadmill to cool down @ 15 degree incline. That being said: pls everyone, wish me luck, as I cannot work out “the next day”, if I happen to get off cycle from me meds.

Last January I set the goal to lose 12 pounds by March 25 (my bday). By that time I had lost 20 pounds. Over the past year I’ve lost 38 pounds and am now in a size 8. I completely changed the way I ate and added exercise. I work out 5-6 days a week alternating weights and cardio. I’ve maintained my current weight for 5 months and am now working on beating the plateau and reaching my ulitmate goal weight.

I want to be my best – in this moment, this stage of my life. I don’t say to myself, “I want to look like I did when I was 30,” because that won’t happen and I don’t want to go back in time. I just turned 50 and I plan to continue to feel and look spectacular, inside and out. I want to restore good physical, mental, emotional and spiritual habits.

I walk 2 miles on my lunch break M-F and I would like to add 3 x wk @ the gym. I have changed to healthier eating habits over the last year. I need to continue to work on eating more slowly.

I will be in the best shape of my life on my 30th birthday (July 4, 2010).

I oppose “the strict list”...be kind to yourself and do the best that you can. If you don’t meet your challenge, don’t give up…what does Scarlet O’Hara say “tomorrow is another day”.

I want to get back to the gym at least 3 times a week, and commit to eating more vegetables each day. Being a busy mom, I find that I am feeding my family really well, but myself eating on the run

I want to give up sugar and white flour.

Came home from working 12 hours, cooked dinner for my daughter, then did cardio and weights. I have resolved to do it EVERY day now, I want to drop 10 lbs by my B day.

I have already lost 52lbs over the past year by changing the way I eat completely and working out at the local gym 3-4 times a week. I have cut out soda pop, fast food, and all high sugar foods. Eat a variety of Kashi products daily including heart to heart cereal, GoLean waffles….would still like to lose about 10 more lbs by summer….It CAN be done….don’t give up!

I recently canceled my Nutrisystem membership after a couple of weeks on their dogfood – ugh! It was horrible. I thought, heck, I can do this better. I don’t like to cook so I went to Target and stocked up on healthy, low fat frozen dinners (tried Kashi – WOW), 100 calorie snack packs, health bars and lots of salad fixings. So the plan is to eat less than 1200 calories per day by eating something every 2-3 hours.

For my fitness goal I want to go to the gym at least 4 days a week. And for my nutrition goals I want to cut out desserts from my diet.

I want to lose 10 lbs before summer. I have changed the way my family eats and we are eating mostly whole foods. Such a change without that processed junk. No more soda either-that one was a killer.

I want to lose 28 pounds by mid May 2010 by eating right and exercising. Thursdays are my weigh in days at the gym. This challenge is a great way to stay focused.

I am gonna follow my p90x workout and love it!! Bikini ready body here I come!!!

I love the MyDiet App on Facebook! You can keep track of your intake and output!

After working part time and having the luxury of running in the afternoon I went back to work full time so I bought a treadmill to keep myself on track at night or early morning.

I downloaded the ‘MyFitnessPlan’ app on my iPhone to keep track of my daily intake of food and exercise. It really makes a difference.
