    Hello everyone! I am new to the team. Unfortunatly I was not under my calorie goal yesterday but I know I drank 64 oz of water and did 100 jumping jacks...and I wasn't even going for the challenge :) But I am up for the challenge for the rest of the week and sorry to be behind on the game.

    As a matter of introduction. I'm Emily, I'm 27 and just reached my weight goal. Now i'm working on getting a little more lean, and if I lose a few more lbs I would not be upset. I look forward to getting some mad fitness in with you all!

    Question, are the challenges progressive? (meaning, on day two do I do the extercise from day one and two, then on 3 do all three?)

    No these are just one day challenges. Each day is a new challenge in addition to the workout you already do for yourself...

    the extra 100 jumping jacks today came as a side challenge...

    Hi all: This is Kathy (kapollard), I was under my calorie count, drank all of my water, and did my jumping jacks and 30 minutes of intense water aerobics last night......I am a little sore this morning but on to the challenge! Last year, I had a personal trainer who told me to "down" 24 ounces of water first thing in the morning to get things moving.....so that's is the first thing I put in me each morning. It helps....just chug a lug and it is in you. And about the extra jumping jacks....I actually did 150 last night....so I am in for the extra ones today! I think this is so fun.....last night, I wanted ice cream.....and thought about our team.....and made the choice not to have the ice cream! This is great......accountability is what I call it! Have a great day today.....Kathy
