    Feeling good, everyone! I thought I'd just leave a message on here to share my happiness at my weigh-in result: this week, I lost 1.5kgs, which is almost 3lbs... after a no-loss week last week, that feels great :) And it motivates me to keep going! By week 10 I plan on fitting into all those clothes which don't-quite-fit any more. There's a BIG pile of them.

    Hope you all do well with weigh-ins. Good luck!

    I find that the Elliptical is a great way to get exercise. It burns calories really fast. In 28 minutes I can burn up to 330 calories.

    Great secret-sharing idea: I don't have a HRM, so I don't know how many calories I'm burning, I just have to trust the exercise diary on here. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else does. I know what I do works in terms of getting results: the 30 day shred DVD 5 days a week in the morning. Whatever I can get around to on weekends.

    Today I've burned just over 200 cals with the 30DS, and I'm about to go to work to do a heap of heavy lifting...


    Hope everyone's weigh-in is good!

    I think each person burns calories differently. I use Cardio Trainer app on my phone and that is pretty accurate. It says how much you burned with fruits etc, which is cool, like it doesn't say you burned a slab of chocolate like Wii Fit.
    I found that I burned 222cal yesterday doing the Biggest loser weight loss yoga for about 40min. It is not long, but it was a great workout.
    I think that when you think of working out at something you "have" to do, it becomes hard to do.. But if you view it as something fun it is easier to do and you find yourself missing it if you don't get the chance and doing it more.
    I hope this makes sense because my flu head is doesn't always make sense.

    I would have to say that most calories used in the least time would by zumba.
    Had trouble with internet yesterday but I have to say. I am so happy. I have met every challenge this past week, and it shows. I am down two pounds
    150 cals burned today --- I am on it.

    I am rotted. At one point during the past week, I was down 2.4 pounds - but for some reason - I was up a little this morning.

    cw for the challenge is 203.8 - still down over all from last week but these tight rings are making me think water gain. I'll get you all next week.

    I am so excited!! Goal was to lose one pound but I lost two!! :glasses:

    Great challenge today. I am planning a long bike ride with my boyfriend. Will burn a lot of calories, I imagine. VERY hot here today, will be almost 90. We went from cold and rainy to hot and sweltering! No spring at all.

    No picnics or cookouts for me which will make eating healthy easier and make the bike ride really count!! :drinker:

    Good luck to everyone weighing in today!! :love:

    For me, TurboJam has burned the most calories. But, besides that, hiking (cross country) has burned just as much it seems. I've been spending a lot of time in the woods with the family, hiking, swimming, fishing, etc and I am just as sore from that as I would be from doing 45 minutes of a workout dvd.

    Only down half a lb this week, but like last week am down in inches everywhere. I guess I need to adjust something so I can lose inches and weight. Will have to consider that for a bit.

    Everyone have a great Monday.

    I stayed under my calories yesterday. Today I can easily do the 150 calories.

    My weight today is 164.4 so I lost 2.4 pounds this wk. WOW!!!! I am shocked with myself!! I have lost so far 3.4 pounds. My total goal for 5wks is 8lbs! I have 3 wks left. So that comes out to 1.5 a wk from now on.

    WOW,.

    Lost 1lb this week but was really hoping for a bigger number. Really watched the diet and exercise this week. So planning on tweeking my diet and planning on revving up more exercise for the bigger number this week. :)
