Pfft, I don't think that's the case at all! You're working hard for the results you're getting. I'm proud of you, Mel! And impressed. :)

I'm sliding a bit on my diet and giving myself way too many excuses to slack off. Trying to wrap my head over that it's a lifestyle change, not just a diet, and really trying to practice moderation. My head is out of the game right now but I'm working on it!

Sadly, it's true. If I keep losing 10lbs per dietbet, it will still take 7 more dietbets to move me into the normal weight category. Which may never happen because I do have a surprising amount of muscle under all this.

Blogilates is amazing! Start here if you're interested: http://www.blogilates.com/calendar/beginners-calendar-for-popsters-just-starting-out

To begin with, I started with 2 days of pilates, 1 day off, 2 days of pilates, 2 days off. The next week, 5 days of pilates, 2 days off. And that's where I stayed.

Each month there's a new calendar to do- I'm currently on 'Abtober'.

The 30 Day Shred is a Jillian Michael's workout that is 20 minutes of interval training - 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes cardio, and one minute of abs. Rinse and repeat for a total of 20 minutes. It's available on Amazon Prime, otherwise it's only $1.99 per 'level'- I'm on level one currently, but will move up to level 2 next Wednesday.

I had planned on doing both 30DS and Blogilates but I haven't been strong enough to do both of them in the same session. So for now, I'm going to do 2 days of the shred, 1 day of pilates, 2 days more of the shred, 2 days off, and see what that does.

In case you're curious to know what kind of results people are getting with only 20 minutes of working out for 30 days, check this out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/932106-show-me-ur-30-day-shred-results-d

Pretty inspirational stuff!

Thank you, Yana! I barely made my goal for the other two games but I did! Won $80! It was by the skin of my teeth though- it's time to bump up my cardio. :(

Thank you! :D

I'm a bit sad that I'm going to lose the other bets I'm in right now- but I'm still on track with this one so that gives me some hope!

I'm doing the 10% in 6 months challenge starting in November, so while I lost the battle, I have not lost the war!
