@JennyG: Great job!! I think the hardest part is getting back to it, especially when you're dealing with the exhaustion of the newborn phase... and a toddler running around. You'll get back before you know it!

I'll join, I'm starting 21 day fix. Eating healthy is not a problem for me, it is working out. I always find an excuse to not do it! I counted out dance party in the living room last night as cardio...not a good start but I'm going to try my best! I think having people holding me accountable would be great! I lost 30 pounds after I had DD2, but since October I've gained 10 of them back (and now after holidays probably 15..) I'm so disappointed. so my goal is to lose 15 pounds by May 7th (our 5 year wedding anniversary, I want to be at my wedding date weight again!) So I have the desire, just need the motivation! And honestly swimsuit season is another one. I want to take my kids to the pool and not be embarrassed!

@Mamaof2: Well I'm doing the diet right now, but I'm hoping to start the videos up again Thursday (random day but we have something tonight and tomorrow night and mornings just don't work with my schedule.)

I like the workouts, however I'm not going to lie I don't follow the order, I don't care for one of them so I skip it, and I tend to do the yoga one every other day. I love the way it centers/relaxes me. I do the abs one every day (only 10 minutes and I like it and it works.) So I guess you could say I'm a picker/chooser. I choose which one I feel like that day! The dirty 30 is a favorite of mine I figure as long as I do something every day I'm good! And I love that they are only 30 minutes, that's about all my girls allow me to do

@Mamaof2: I loved the Hammer and Chisel agility one the best. I think you will get great results if u stick to it.

@JennyG: Something I do (which seems silly but you'd be surprised how amazing it works) every time you go to the bathroom, do 10 squat. I normally get 100 squats in a day doing this and it doesn't add more than 30 seconds, I even do it in the office Something else I do, when i'm cooking dinner, i usually do situps/pushups/lunges/ect. while it is cooking. My toddler loves doing this beside me and the baby watches. These little things make a huge difference for me, i can really see that they work on days when i just don't have time to commit 30-1 hour straight to a workout.

In! I just started WW and it syncs with FitBit... So I think I know what I am getting myself for my 30th bday!

@JennyG: @Mamaof2: You will love Beachbody on Demand! I got a 30 day free trial when I ordered my Shakeology. You might be able just to login and do it too without purchase. It costs $2.99 a week but they bill you quarterly so about $38 for 3 months is a great deal! You can plug in the videos you bought already and it will show up in your library. Then you can do various videos from different trainers. (Don't be fooled by the advertising- these are NOT ENTIRE PROGRAMS unless you paid for it. Just samples.) They also have a Challenge Du Jour which is my favorite. It is basically a workout of the day from the various BB programs. The Previous Workouts link is an archive of about a week's worth of Challenge Du Jour workouts which rotate out as new ones pop up. So really you have 7 to choose from. You can even get a daily text that announces what the workout of the day is. I like it because I can sample the different trainers and types and see which one is more motivating for you. Plus you won't get stagnant in your workouts because your body is adapting to different things. Try it! It made me LOVE working out at home...which has been really hard for me for years. I actually went back to just T25 for now and then will sign up for BB on Demand again in a month. Let me know how much you love it!! (I just googled- anyone can get the trial!)

TGIT!

Thursdays are my only day off from exercise - woo-hoo!!

Last night's workout was killer and I had to stop a few times but I did it! My 7 yr old even did some with me

@808love:

Today starts week 2 for me - I reluctantly weighed myself and was happy to see I lost exactly 1 lb! Knowing there has been progress will def keep me on track this week!

@JennyG: @Mamaof2: Yay!! It really is awesome!! Ok girls, I've been off the wagon for two days. t-25 allows 1 day off on the weekend and one stretch day. I just started a food log with my fitness pal so I'm excited to try all in concert. I'll be keeping an eye out on this thread or another.

@JennyG: even if u just start ur workout and take a break to tend to LO, u will still stay in your routine!@Mamaof2: so cute!! LO has stopped working out with me but recruited DH to do it with me and she sits back ordering us around because she is our self appointed coach.

@JennyG: when I need a snack I do a banana and PB

I'm in! 6 months pp on Friday and I'd like to shed 5-7 lbs!

I just printed out BBG at work into a lil booklet Trying to start with that and then ease back into my gym routine. I haven't been since I started back at work around Halloween. I did so well with a regular gym schedule during maternity leave too Oh well, here's to starting fresh!
