I fucking hate planks. I might trade those out for something different.

I'll take your planks, you can have my pushups.

Done!!

FYI:

Proper Squat Form




STUCK IN THE BOX! 

1. Toes forward varies by person. They can be out, and your feet can be wider if that is where you are comfortable. Flat shoes or barefoot is better (makes it easier to keep weight on your heels).

2. DO NOT LOOK UP. Neutral spine. Gaze forward or slightly up.

3. You don't bend at the knees, you hinge at the waist. Weight on your heels is correct.

4. Her marker with the elbows is not depth. She's about 3 inches high. Go lower.

Make sure you are changing your diet then too. 70%+ of your weight is determined by diet.

Healthy burritos are an option.

ghostmonkey How do you feel about the Weight Watchers program? I don't know much about eating healthy so I need something to steer me in the right direction. I've heard good things about WW but not sure if it's good for long term.

I've heard people say that as long as you steer clear of their pre-packaged stuff and just use their guidelines it's not too bad to get you started down a path.

It can be done well and it can be done poorly. I have issues with it, but many that have done the meetings (I did online only) have said that those are things that are covered.

I know you asked GM, but I thought I would add my two cents. Before I got married I lost 20 pounds doing weight watchers online (and exercising). Unfortunately, I went back to bad eating habits after the wedding so now I'm trying to lose that 20 pounds again.

Same thing happened with me ten years ago. Weight was put right back on once I quit.

I want in!

@mrsjohnmarston WW definitely works if you stick with it. I've done it twice and lost about 20 each time-pre pregnancy and post. Portion control is hard for me. I did it online but have been to a few meetings here and there. The meetings were good for camaraderie and learning portioning. Online is really just for plugging in points and getting recipes. I'm too cheap to keep paying for it but it definitely works if you can stick with it.

[wowcheezits]

Count me in. So starting this Saturday?

[kcones88]

I'm in, too. I've started these types of things before but never finished. Hoping you guys will help me stay motivated!

I squish myself with heavy weights as a hobby.

If I had time, I would.

[cheshie6]

I'd like to participate. 

[mom2boxers]

I usually participate on TTC>35 & my local board but I'd like to join if that's ok.
