Hmm…goals. The one that comes to mind is quite unrealistic, really. LOL A few years ago I found a gorgeous purple suede dress that was in perfect condition at the Goodwill and it was only $12!!! But it was a size 12 – of which I am not. I bought it, anyway, thinking it’d be a great motivator to wear it one day for Christmas – and that it shall. But I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t go from an 18 to a 12 in just 3 months. Scott?

Substitute goal –> ahh, I have a good one! Last year, when I lost 40lbs, Uncle Don was SO EXCITED for me!! He would not stop pointing it out at all our family gatherings! And he would say it multiple times PER gathering! “Look at her, ya’ll – she really has lost a lot of weight!” on and on and on…. So my goal is to have Uncle Don go crazy on Christmas!! LOL I love it!!!!

This definitely made me smile when I saw it this morning!

Love the squishy comment!!! haha!

I’m on it, baby!!!

Wow, David!

How’d it go? Amazing how a quickie can really get you sweaty, eh?

Not sure if you know this, but Scott recommends doing the two sessions at different times of day so that you can benefit twice from the metabolism spikes rather than just the one time.

I do the workouts in the morning and the cardio later in the day.

Your goals are awesome! I can’t wait to hug the “less squishy” you with the “less squishy” me in January.

YOU ROCK!

Okay! It’s my first day.

So here’s my goal. Actually, here’s the goal I said on Twitter today – “I want to be mistaken for Scott when I take my shirt off…”

Just kidding Shirt off ain’t gonna happen…

Here’s my real goal – and it’s a big one! I weigh 217. I want to lose 30 pounds before NAMS 3 starts on Jan. 29.

That would be down to 187. If I do that, I’ll give everyone at NAMS a one year membership to my new Twitter Toolbox membership site launching this weekend.

If I DON’T do it, I’ll give everyone at NAMS a TWO year membership to my new Twitter Toolbox membership site launching this weekend.

So, there. I’ve committed.

Today, I went to the mall in Lynnwood, WA (remember, I live in Alabama) and bought a large flex ball so I could do Scott’s workouts and two gallons of water.

No, I wasn’t thirsty. I’m traveling. So, a gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds. They’ll make nice dumbbells while I’m in the hotel.

And the flex ball will deflate and go in my bag (I hope) when I leave.

So, I’m off to do my first quickie.

Here we go…

Of course I’d love to have you on my podcast. My gal, Tracy, schedules the shows for me so I’ll have her set you up. Looking forward to it!

Also, don’t skip the Quickie Workouts thinking they’re too girlie. Just wait until you do the 100 squats! My hubby is still limping around. lol!

Hey Kevin… I expect the staff at your gym to say the same thing to you as they say to me when I used to workout there… “Hi Scott, bye Scott”. They were always blown away at how quickly I would get in and out of there and how myself and my clients always got better results than the people who spent hours in the gym.

Tech team is working on the video pausing issue. I’ve only got two more videos to upload to my server and you’ll have a download option so you can play the videos from the desktop.

Will be ready first thing in the morning.

I already uploaded the workout print out sheets.

I’ll be sending an announcement to all members tomorrow morning.

I can definitely guide you on some diabetic tips. I’ll check out the Nutri System Diabetic plan and give you my feedback.

Can’t wait to see you fit and energized at NAMS 3

Nicole and Scott,
Did my Quickie Cardio this morning and went to the gym in the evening! I am determined to lose 12 pounds by January NAMS 3!
Nicole, I would love to do an interview with you on your podcast! You are so much FUN!!!

Scott, the videos sometimes stop and go on my laptop with a counterdown circle in the middle of the screen. Is there something wrong with my computer?

Also Scott, I am a diabetic. Should I be eating any particular kinds of food while trying to lose weight? I just signed up for the Nutri Systems Diabetic plan because of wanting to eat foods that have the carb count on them.

Thanks guys for a great program!

Kevin “Mr Ebay” Johnson
Thanks for such a cool program

LOL! You are a huge inspiration!! You don’t mind coming to Canada, eh?

Yikers, but accountability is good, even if only a bit daunting!

Your comments mean the world to me. Hearing you, Arika, and Judi say that it feels like I’m your very own personal trainer really makes my day…

That’s always been the intention of the Fat Loss Quickie Program… to make it so it’s like having me as your virtual personal trainer… basically 24/7

All of you have brought rays of sunshine into my days. Thank you so very much.

Those SLOW bicycle kicks kick my butt!

I can do crunches all day long, but those things? Well, the bicycle kicks work. That’s all I’m saying! lol.

LoL, Actually Scott that is one thing I have learned about sit-ups…they are more effective when you are doing them in the ways you suggested. I love doing planks and bicycle kicks

Like Arika, you are like my very own personal trainer.

wow… I’d say those are some specific goals

First of all, I really love the goal of having health on your mind each day and taking action toward improving it…

I totally recommend focusing on the simplest goal of becoming better today than you were yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

One suggestion for you. Sit-Ups are not the best exercise. I’d recommend the 1-Dumbbell Twist, 2-Dumbbell Twist, plank, heel slides, or bicycle kicks.

Sit-Ups can do more harm than good. If you are going to do them… do them on the ball like I teach.

Hey Judi,
I think you have a great goal. I think you will feel better and have more energy when you are at Disney (crazy workout in itself .
Jonathan was telling me over the weekend that the workouts kind of reminded him of the circuit training they did while he was in the Marines. It would be pretty cool if you and your son could keep up your exercising together when he gets back.

My goals go beyond this challenge because this chick has some weight to loss to avoid some serious health issues.

I don’t have specific goals. I thought I did but I do know that my main goal is to just live each day with health in mind.

As far as exercise go I have a goal of doing something everyday be it Scott’s workouts, Sharon Mann or Gilad on FitTv (been working out with those shows since June), stretching, or riding the bike. I also want to get in no less than 50 situps per day. I feel like if I can do a 100 squats then I can do 50 situps

As far as eating I am working towards a 60/40 raw/cooked food day. Pretty easy when I drink a huge green smoothie almost daily and a lot o but hard when your momma cooks oxtails or turkey meatloaf I guess that leads me to another goal of learning to stay focused on the end result.

My other goal is to run a two to three mile stretch.

Ok, so I guess I do have some specific goals huh

I believe that I saw another male join in on the Computer Butt Challenge fun. Can’t wait to see him join the conversation here.

Love the goal and love the thought and vision of how excited you will be to show off the new… energized and leaner YOU when he returns.

I am incredibly proud of you Erica. You are setting a fine example for many people.

You ROCK!

Oh my… I can’t imagine the calories that you burned today. Pass granted. Report back tomorrow to let us know that it was only one day of rest.

Keep ROCK’n
