Hi Everyone!
Boy am I ever loving this site!
I am a Newbie... I love how the end of the day note says " If everyday were like today you will weight ____ in 5 Weeks!
My friend and I went for a hike and got lost for an hour so it ended up being a 3 hour tour!
Boy did we ever burn some calories! If everyday was like that day I would be down 20 Pounds in 5 weeks!
Talk about motivation to work out! LOL What is your favourite workout and how many calories does it burn
on average?
Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I'm new here and am very excited. I have been walking on the treadmill, but for no more than 30 minutes, as I have just started . I hope to build up an endurance and walk at least 45 min to an hour. I find that when I see my progress each day and the pounds dropping off, it really motivates me. I am trying to eat every two-three hours to keep my metabolism going, and I find that I am not hungry though, I am actually eating less. I did not like walking on the treadmill much before, but something happened when I started on this protein/fruit shake diet. I hope to keep it up with my walking, then join a gym.

    An hour of Zumba = over 500 calories. Fun times!

    I've definitely enjoyed working out so far. I go by myself and I love the time alone. I use the app Map My Run to track my jogs/walks and everyday I try to beat my mile time from the day before. (I'm at 15 minutes a mile so far!) Anyway, I'm totally with you on the exercise thing.

    I walked 7 miles up a steep mountain road . . . it was for an event called Climb to Conquer Cancer here in Flagstaff, AZ. It was a pretty amazing experience, and I burned a little over 900 calories in about 2.5 hours. Not something I can do every day but I can't wait to do it again next year!
