8 WEEK BATTLE
Replies

Sounds like a plan. Going to be difficult for me as well. Hopefully I'll attain it today.0
-
I got at least 4 possibly 5. Don't really know though. I was snacking on fruit throughout the day so that's a good thing
0 -
I got 4 out of the 5 yesterday also. I planned better today. Both my snacks are fruit and I added a salad to lunch. I will just need a veggie for dinner and I will be set.0
-
Great job. I've so far had a nectarine and I'm thinking of having a plum shortly.0
-
I nailed it today with 2 plums, a thing of cantaloupe, and a nice salad for lunch!0
-
I nailed it as well. The fruit smoothie definitely put me over the top.0
-
What do you put in your fruit smootie? I want to try having one every now and again.0
-
Pineapple juice, fat free vanilla yogurt, pineapples, cantelope, honey dew melon, frozen wild blueberries and pretty much anything else I can find fruit wise. They turn out pretty good each time.:D 0
-
Will post my update from last week tomorrow. I have been sick all day and haven't had much energy to sit at my computer.
how was your week?0 -
It's been busy. I took a fall at ultimate frizbee so I spent some time healing that up. I have to do my weigh in still this week. Maybe I'll do it tonight when I get home (even though it is recommended to weigh in the morning). I have a feeling that I may be up this week but hopefully we aren't. I didn't do so well on the challenge last week...let's attempt to do better on this one again.
Would you like to make the challenge for this week?0 -

-
Completed another 50 last night 0

I did 68 last night. I am trying out the 200 situp challenge.0
-
I am trying out the challenge as well. I'm attempting the pushups and squats one too.
Oh btw, I like the new display pic0 -
thanks! It was part of my first mini goal reward, I will probably change it after I find a good face shot of me in Vegas this weekend. If you go to my profile pics I put one up of me from last Sept (before losing any weight) and then this new one to show the difference in my face.
I am waiting for him to post the 25 pull-up one. That is something I have always wanted to be able to do (just 1 pull up would suffice really).0 -
I have yet to get one pullup done myself. Maybe I will hit that day eventually.0
-
Completed another 50 crunches last night so far completed 150 0
-
You are doing great. I have Day 2 of the twoohundred sit up challenge today with my workout.0
-
I am supposed to complete day 2 tonight along with day 2 of the squat challenge too 0
-
Day 2 done yesterday between running sets... 90 done... so that makes 157 total... i think i need to squeeze the rest in everyday till the end of the challenge week. That means like 72 each day today and tomorrow. I can do it!0
-
Since I forgot to do my weigh in on Monday, I am going to use last Friday's numbers.
