    Did 4 more sumo-squat-burpee(s) off TF. I just do what Chalene yells at me to. 8 down, countless more to go. :)
    Keep it up ladies.

    5'10" here! I have lost 10 pounds so far and I can't see it at all. It's so frustrating!

    Me too 10lbs gone and you cannot even see it, if I were shorter I might of lost a size with this kind of loss!

    Girl, girls girls. It has been (mumble mumble) since my last confession.

    I PAR-TAYED down over Fourth of July weekend. I drank cocktails and didn't track my food intake. (This after I pledged not to drink during July... guess we know who can't say no :drinker: )

    But now I'm back on track. I worked out hard doing circuit training yesterday, but still didn't do that great food-wise.

    I rode my bike til I was dripping sweat today for 45 minutes and I'm about to do my 20 push ups. I ate okay, stayed within my calorie range, but found myself craving ice cream. Sheer willpower got me through that.

    Hope you are all doing great! It's good to be back!:flowerforyou:

    Wait, I just saw that Desirai is aching from some burpees. Are we on to a new phase of the challenge? Like I say, I've been a slacker.

    Hey ladies

    how are you all doing? I'm a totaly tall girl from edinburgh. I'm 5'9.5" and I'm totally with you with the feeling that a 10lb loss doesn't seem the same as that on a smaller friend :(
    how annoying. Grrr!
    But I'll get there in the end!

    Yeah we are doing 15 burpees a day now. You can do the modified ones or go extreme. I posted some videos from youtube.

    I'm glad you got back to it. Its ok to break away from the grind every once in awhile as long as you can get back on the right path. You are exercising so everything will eventually fall back in line pretty soon.

    5'10" here! I have a question for all of you (thanks for starting this group, by the way). I have always thought that tall people like us have a better chance of having joint issues. I know someone mentioned sciatica too - I had it SO bad when I was pregnant and it still plagues me every now and then. AND - my ankles crack everywhere I go! I used to be so embarrassed walking down a quiet hallway because people would look around like, "What in the world is that clicking noise?" LOL - Oh, just me! I also run a lot and have had more knee issues than any of my shorter runner friends.

    Anyway - I mentioned this to someone the other day (a shorty) that I think taller people are more prone to these issues - maybe because when we got our height, we got it really fast. I grew about 5 inches between 9th and 10th grade. Anyway, she kind of scoffed at me. Just wondering if you guys have similar issues?

    Cheers to our big feet, big hands and all of that!! I used to want to feel petite, but have now started to embrace my size 11 shoes and the fact I can palm a man's basketball. :laugh:

    Hey ladies,
    Haven't checked in for a while. Still doing the burpees challenge? Either way, I'm in. I don't know why, but I can't seem to do these at all. It's on tonight, though!

    Oh Lawd yes! I have the same noisy problems, with my knees, it's embarassing. Mine are...crunchy. It's really gross and I literally could not sneak up some stairs on someone they are so loud. My sister (I'm 6'1", she's about 5'10") has it too. I also have a guy friend who's about 6'4" and he commiserates with me about it.
    A doctor told me one time it's like a lever when you squat down (your knee joint) and think about it, it makes sense. The longer the lever, the more pressure it has to endure. The shorter the lever, tle less pressure. And sister, I've got some loooonnnngggg legs.
    We just have to find modifications so we can keep it going. I wish I knew all this when I was younger so I didn't destroy my cartilidge in my knees. sigh.

    I am 5'11" and size 12 shoes and despise finding pants and shirt sleeves long enough.
