Please introduce yourself here!

I just joined I need to start, stay motivated and consistent to reach my goal weight of 150lbs.

Love this program and the spark web site. Thank you getting to a new healthy lifestyle. This is habit forming.Good luck everyone. Linda

I just started the bootcamp challenge yesterday. Excited about the challenge.

I'm wanting to be down a few pounds by the time my Wedding Anniversary rolls around. I haven't been doing the Spark videos because I don't have internet connection where I work out. So I do the Biggest Loser WII Challenge Work Out.

I love Coach Nicole's workout videos! I also love challenges here on Spark 'cause they help get me closer to my goals!! My birthday is at the end of May, so this is the perfect challenge to help me reach the goals I have set ~ the best birthday present I could give myself is better health!!!

I think I'm in the right spot now! I did my first video on Monday-a day late but that seems normal for me I need a challenge to keep me going so thought I would try this. I am 60 and need to relose 50 lbs but am having problems because the arthritis has caused scoliosis after having caused me to have 2 knee replacements. I had lost 130lbs before the arthritis hit. This will force me to start the day with at least the video and then I can get to the gym for the cardio on a machine or in the pool. Hopefully I learn how to track the bootcamp correctly!!

Hi everyone! I missed posting on May 1, the day I started. Things are going well so far, Day 4 into it! Good luck everyone!

Hey everyone, I am Jessica from Wisconsin! I am hoping I can stick with this and complete the challenge. I seem to struggle with motivation and sticking to working out.

Hi everyone,my name is Tracy. This is my first Spark challenge.I have been doing the Metabolic Research Center program since mid January and have lost 28# but have been stuck there now for 3 weeks. I was starting to get really frustrated and almost teetered into a back slide on Easter(all that yummy food,LOL),but this has come along at the perfect time to make me get my butt moving.I have been going to the gym every morning before work and walking during my lunch break. Trying to squeeze in the boot camp videos after the kids get to bed every night. I live in Panama City FL home of "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches" and have been ashamed to wear a bathing suit in almost 15 yrs. We can all do this thing!!!!! Lets get our groove on and get moving!!!!

Julie~
Way to go! I wish you more success every day.

Howdy, I have been a member of Spark People for a long time but have always struggled with consistency and follow through. I am just getting started on this new boot camp today. I met with my personal trainer this morning so have gotten in my exercise for today. Good Luck everyone!

Hello I'm Deb and been here since July 7, 2007. Lost over 50lbs and trying to get the rest off. I live in the Great state of Texas original Oklahoman! Excited about the changes and this team!

Welcome back Danielle. Glad your back

My name is Danielle. I got off track for a while, but I'm back!

Hi I'm LaNita, I'm so excited about this bootcamp. I'm preparing for my trip to Aruba and would like to wear a bathing suit without a skirt for once.

Hello all my name is Jillian and I too joined this Bootcamp and know it will work. Best wishes to all of us..

Hi everyone! I am excited to do this bootcamp. It should be a new challenge in my journey. Good luck every one!

Hello All my name is Darnetta . And I am glad to be a part of this challenge ....Time to get back in shape. :)

Hi I am Darci. I really like this challenge! Just what I need to get back into the routine of exercise. I just did the Day 1 video, so I can check that off! Woo Hoo! I am looking forward to having a schedule for the weight training. I tend to focus on cardio and forget the rest. I should be able to do this on my own, but I just don't! Great challenge for me. Let's go team!!!

hi everyone, my name is Nana. Have been working out reguarly, but thought this would be a fun addition to my routine.

Sadly, I pulled something in my upper thigh, that won't allow me to do all the workouts (at least not the squats for this week!) but I will continue to participate, as I can and as is safe for my body. Good luck to everyone!!

Hello everyone! I'm jumping in a little late but the fact that I'm jumping in at all speaks volumes! I havent excercized much since the beginning of the year due to life handing me lemons and not dealing very well. Now I'm here to say that it's time to make lemonaide! I know this challenge is going to get me moving on the right path again! Good Luck to all!

Hi,
I'm Kathy from Ithaca, NY. This challenge sounds perfect for a jump start into a good exercise program. Even though I'm beginning a little late, I'm sure I'll be able to catch up to everyone else. I might even be able to get my fiance to join me!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm Kathleen and the rain in my area of the world is taking its toll on me mentally and physically. This challenge should at least give me some motivation, structure and focus.

My name is Breanna! I'm doing this challenge with my mom. It's helping me to stay on track. I have to admit though, I'm sort of lazy after work, and I'm really tempted to not workout or do the videos...but feel great and successful once I've finished them! I'm hoping that everyone on this challenge is enjoying it and finding success even so early on! :)

Hi, My name is Laura Hernandez. I am here to continue my weight loss journey. I have became a fitness junkie. However, I have not lost pound in quiet sometime. Although, I shouldn't complain at least I have lost inches. Any ideas on how to make the weight start coming off again would be great.

It says to introduce myself....so HI all, I'm Esterjane, part of bootcamp and about to do the third video. I guess i'm elederly, but please don't tell my heart, because it still thinks we can go kayaking, skating and dancing as soon as I get this work done...I'll keep you posted and cheer you on if you ask me and I'll hang my skates on a tree so you know where I live. Hugs to all, Spirit Live Strong, Esterjane

Like Mirojotom, too many goodies have been jumping in my mouth. But I am taking the control back and realize the food doesn't jump in - I put it there. Just did the butt blasters....wow....
Have a good one all!

While I am not one who necessarily needs to lose weight, I am NOT in shape at all. The Leg workout today KILLED me. I am excited to get toned and if I lose a few pounds great!! Really excited to see what the next 28 days will bring. Hoping the beginning of a new habit!!

so here we go. I'm doing this, and I'm excited about it.

Hello I am new to the team I am really excited about getting back on board.

I'm trying. I think I almost have Spark almost figured out. I joined to make myself track my decisions.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lora. Joined the challenge to help me focus on putting exercise into my life. I walk Teddy (my dog) every night, however I need to do more then that. My goal for this challenge to start some healthy life style changes into my life and lose 10 pounds of weight.

Lora

Tracking is great but often I have no acess to computer so I find that hard, but am making a big effort for the next 28days

My name is Chris. I had been on Sparkpeople and lost 25 pounds and stopped using the site and yep added back the mahority of it. This is the first time though that I am doing a challenge. I know it will put me back on the right track!!

HI. I'm glad to see this challenge, since I could use a little boost getting back on track. I've been exercising regularly, but it's fun to add new things. My biggest issue is that too large portions of too many goodies have crept into my diet. I'm going to try very hard to keep up with tracking EVERYTHING I put into my mouth.

Hi Ann, I understand how it can be hard to stick to things due to schedules,etc. Good luck this time

Hi my name is Ann. Love the challenges but seem to have a hard time sticking with them based on my schedule. Hopefully I can follow through this time because time is winding down for me to achive my ideal me

Hi Amanda. Good for you having another go at the challenge. I know you'll complete it this time , glad you are excited !!

Hi Everyone! My name is Amanda - I love these challenges on Spark!

I missed May 1st, so I signed up on May 2nd and did two videos today. I did this challenge last year, but I didn't complete it. I am COMPLETING it this time around! It's a great way to stay motivated and accountable - excited!!

Hi, My name is Flavia, I'm 29 years old and this is my first challenge, i'm looking to tone my body and keep my self healthy.

Hi Toni , I have just started the challenge too,Good luck with your weight loss.

Hi all! I'm Toni. This is actually the second 28-day challenge I've done on SparkPeople. I started that back in January and have incorporated other exercises into my workout and basically changed the way I eat and live. Since then I have lost nearly 17 pounds! I am ready to shed a few more! Good luck to you all!

Hi! My name is Nicole. This is the very first challenge I've done on Sparkpeople, even though I've been a member for several years now. I'm 29 and looking to lose about 25 pounds total. I'm hoping this challenge will help me take off at least a few of those pounds and help me tone before it's time to pull out the tank tops here in Wisconsin. Love the videos so far! It's been awesome mixing up my routine!

Hi my name is carrie and on the last challenge i was working on maintaning my weight. This time i have renewed myselt and my goals and would like to work on losing 20 more pds before July 2011.

I have started jenny craig on Weds morning and have stuck to it for the past 5 days. My starting weight was 188.8 when i weighed in on Weds. I have also been working out for 25-35 mins,since weds and been drinking my 8 things of water eating my fruits and working on veggies

then on Sat i took a 4.5 mile walk and it felt good to be back outside again. I will see about walking again tomorrow if the weather permits.I just will just take a shorter one.

I do have an amazing story to tell you about my walk/jog that i took today. Since i can remember i have not been able to jog or run for a few reason. 1. i had to much holding me down.and 2 was embarressed about it Well today i decided to walk up my hill and then i began jogging. I am not sure how long i was jogging for since my tracker stopped a few min into it. I think i did it for at least 1.5 miles. I am going to have to redo my jog sometime today to find out for sure. It felt amazing to be able to actually jog for the time that i did.

Today i went on my jog/walk again and it came to 34 min diistance 2.11 miles cals were 226 and speed was at 3.7. I only made 3 stops to catch my breathe
