Ok, I officially have no excuse for posting the challenges so late. I also have no excuse for being extremely late at posting my own weight each week. I have REALLY been slacking over the last three weeks, and I have started to gain back weight. That stops today! I promise that by the end of this week, I will have lost weight and accomplished at least three of the five challenges! You have my word!
This week's challenges!
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days this week = 1 lbs advantage
2. Try something new this week = 1 lbs advantage
3. Complete at least 200 squats this week = 1 lbs advantage
4. Complete at least 7 minutes of reverse planks this week = 1 lbs advantage

5. Plan your meals and exercise time either the night before of morning of each day this week (excluding today since this is posted so late) = 1 lbs advantage0 -
Good morning everyone!
I just got back to work and read the challenge fpr this week. I like the one with the planning ahead, I will start it this evening...
How are you doing?0 -
Hi!
Where are you all? It is boring to post only to myself... Please come back - you won't want to quit the challenge in the last two weeks? :flowerforyou:
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days this week: 3/4
2. Try something new this week: saturday is my first day at the gym, so there will be many new things :-)
3. Complete at least 200 squats this week: 170/200
4. Complete at least 7 minutes of reverse planks this week: 5/7 (boy, they are hard!)
5. Plan your meals and exercise time either the night before of morning of each day this week: I try, but sometimes something different comes up... so I think I followed through on 3 days so far0 -
Hiya Maalea and B team,
Only two weeks to go as you have noted, and looking at the spreadsheet there appears to be only 9 people still posting their weights.
Main exercise this week seems to be walking but have already done 30DS twice and will do it twice more this weekend, which should help towards the squats! Will be trying another Jillian Michaels exercise routine as a change. Reverse planks are just odd!
Hope not to gain this week, would be pleased to lose and be back where I was 2 weeks ago. Actually tried on a size 14 skirt in town today and found it was too big!! Yay....0 -
2much - great that you are still here! :flowerforyou:
And congrats on your too big skirt! It feels so good to give some old clothes away.
It is still summer, so maybe some people are on vacation...
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days this week: 4/4 - done!
2. Try something new this week: was at the gym today (saturday) for the first time - done!
3. Complete at least 200 squats this week: 200/200 - done!
4. Complete at least 7 minutes of reverse planks this week: 6/7
5. Plan your meals and exercise time either the night before of morning of each day this week: I try, but sometimes something different comes up... so I think I followed through on 3 days so far0 -

Hiya
Only 3 B team members weighed in so far. Come on people it's only one more week!!
I'm still exercising, actually enjoying walking now that I have 3 stone less to carry about!
Back on track this week after a gain last week, and hope to lose a bit more to get firmly in the normal weight range.
Still need to get that water down and I need to get any exercise sessions done earlier in the day. That's my challenge for this week!0 -
Stupid TOM more or less knocked me out yesterday, and is also responsible for my gain.
But I am not really upset, I have exercised quite a lot (for me) last week, due to joining the gym, I stayed below my calorie limit, although I still have to make better choices what I eat.
But generally I am feeling back on track, and good about myself, and optimistic that I will leave this stupid plateau soon :happy:
This week I will work on eating more healthy, besides staying under the calorie limit and working out regularly.0 -
Seems we are alone on this forum? .?? Anyone else here from the B team??
Was lazy yesterday and feeling guilty this morning. - which is probably good because I'm going to catch up now......
Housework calories to be burned and 30ds followed by ironing and clearing whilst watching Les Mis DVD, which I got as soon as it was released but is still wrapped!!0 -
Yeah, I think so...
But we are going to stick for the last days :drinker:
I have been exercising a lot this week, more than in the last weeks, and it feels good.
Today I have been lazy so far, but later on I will go to the gym. We are moving at work right now, so we have to stay at home today while the movers do their work. On Monday morning we start in the new building, unpacking all the crates...
Have fun with the DVD! I also like to watch something when ironing, it is so boring otherwise!0 -
Yep we are alone! In fact I just found this on Team A loft !!

As it wasn't posted here I had no idea we had been set challenges and will not be gaining many pound advantage unless I have a very busy evening!!0 -
Oh - I was so busy last week, I didn't miss the new challenge, and I didn't think to look into the other thread...
Hmm, 1, 2 and 5 is okay, but 3 and 4 is a problem...0 -
I managed 45 hip lifts and leg lifts (both right and left) yesterday evening, but not more...0

Sorry for the delay, everyone. The holiday weekend got me off schedule. Anyway, there is only one challenge this week, the fitness test! Let's see how much we've improved in the last 9 weeks!
1) Complete a 1-mile walk test or 1.5 miles run test
2) Count how many push-ups, crunches, and burpees you can do in one minute
3) Count how long you can hold a plank position
Good luck everyone!0 -
I think we did this before - does anyone remember in what week? I'd like to comapre the results...0

It was the week of June 24th...9 weeks in...midpoint!0

Ah.. thanks!! :flowerforyou:0

I know. I am absolutely HORRIBLE at keeping up with forums lol But I am proud to say I did all my weigh ins and even ALMOST met my goal. I was so close. Great job guys!

Okay, fitness test:
1) Complete a 1-mile walk test: average sspeed is 6 km per hour (3.72 miles)
2) Count how many push-ups, crunches, and burpees you can do in one minute:
push-ups: 18
crunches: 30
burpees: 9
3) Count how long you can hold a plank position: 28 seconds
So, in some things I am better than in week 9, in others not so good...
Well, generally, I liked this challenge, it is just a pity that it so many have left before! I did not lose much weight, but who knows without the challenge I perhaps would have gotten so frustrated with not losing that I had given up and gained instead? In the last two weeks the weight has been getting down, not by much, but it was a loos in two consecutive weeks, so I hope I am on the way to losing again!
Take care everybody and good luck!0
