    Are any of you on Facebook too? I ask because I'd had a group over there, called Motivation. Well, yesterday I was informed that the old-style groups are slated to be archived soon and that I'd have to either upgrade to the new group layout (and lose all members either way), or start a page.

    I chose to start a page, with the same name, Motivation. I would love for those of you who are on Facebook to come on over and 'Like' the page, for some great tips, encouragement, help and ... of course ... motivation!

    Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Motivation/121506657928721

    GREAT job to all of you on your continued participation in this challenge!! Keep it up!

    Darn it! MFP apparently doesn't much like external links. I seem to have trouble with this often. Anyhow... if you want to look me up over there, I'm Chandra Tassell. My current profile photo is one of my sis, my mom and me. Feel free to send me a friend request if you like, and then it should be easier to find the page I created.

    This week, we're gonna focus on strength training. Feel free to incorporate this into your regular workout routine in any way that suits you -- all in one go, a few minutes a day, anything goes! Also, it's up to YOU as far as whether you'd like to make this ONE HOUR each DAY or ONE HOUR for the entire WEEK, whatever suits you and keeps you motivated.

    Count me in. My Wii fit + is currently programmed at burning 221 calories everytime I go on which I can do in about 40 minutes through various exercises. Love the boxing!! I'm getting a bit bored of the same things all the time though. Can anyone recommend any other games for Wii particularly any with Step or boxing similar to Fit +. :-)

    I failed miserably at last weeks challenge. I think I was only able to get 6 minutes of hula hooping. But today is a new start and I will try to get my hour of strength training in. I need to get it back in my routine so that I'm not forgetting about it... What are you logging this as if you don't have a HRM?

    Failed big time at the Hula Hoops - but did go to NJ for a few days, and hubby has been hogging the TV. ((He has his xbox hooked up to my Wii TV, and it's double points experience for his Call of Duty game, so he outranks me till tomorrow - at least that's how he sees it!))

    I'm doing EASA2 regularly, so squeezing in some strength moves shouldn't be a problem! Good luck all!

    Boxing...love it! I just got the Wii Golds Gym Cardio workout....BOXING it is! I am addicted to it right now. If you love the boxing on the wii fit you will love this! Less than $15 on amazon too.

    I think for last weeks challenge I did about 50 mins of hula hoop during the week (along with other wii fit things), but that was close, so I think I did well. Not done any of the strength challenge this week (didn't see this thread earlier this week) BUT I have just finished doing 40 mins on Wii Fit, burning 136 cal.

    sailboat with my hubby. Tomorrow strength training again.

    Hello Everyone! I joined MFP a little over 1 week ago. I'm pretty much addicted! I would like to join in on the fun. I do have a question...what are you using to calculate your calories burned on particular activites within Wii Fit? I'm thinking that maybe I need to change a setting on mine because all it does is put the time coins into the bank...

    Didn't get in time for the challenge, but on Sunday I walked 2 miles, and jogged 1 ~ A huge deal for me as I am not a runner at all! Did it all during the March of Dimes walk in NEPA at the Mohegan Sun Racetrack! The mom's group I'm in raised 1075 for the foundation! So proud of those mamas!
