Worried by how i'm feeling this morning that I caught my husband's bad cold. I sure don't want to let up now. I haven't even lost a pound yet and want to get there! And more.

New to the PURPLE TEAM! I'm super excited!!!

Just kicked my own booty and burned 800 calories - 12mile bike and 2 mile run!!!

I am determined to get this weight off!!!

So, I'm feeling pretty good about my resolve right now, but last week was pretty awful. I was PMSing badly and inhaled food for a day - and managed to undo all the good work I did in the week. Today I'm back to my starting weight, 71.8kg (Aussies weigh in kilos, sorry), and I'm starting again. A bit frustrating, but it teaches me a lesson - it takes 15 minutes to eat a bucket of chips and three days to burn them off. Silly girl.

I am loving this mini challenge though, 500 cals a day through exercise feels great! Looking forward to see what challenge Wednesday brings

Hello purple team! hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I went home to the country to visit my mom, I live in Nova Scotia Canada. She bakes wicked tea biscuit, well needless to say I worked out for a couple of hours burned 1414 calories which should put me in the good. lol. No more tea biscuits. Also worked out 7 days this week may take a day off in the upcoming week. So managed to burn over 500 calories each day during the 7 days. Looks as though my team did pretty well too. Have a great week all.

Okay Team- Need a little motivation and am hoping that the next challenge kicks my butt into gear. I went out of town this weekend and undid a bunch of the work that this week's challenge did for me. I got off the plane a worked out tonight, but jsut couldn't make it to the 500 goal. So, for the end of this week the total calories burned are 2271. Better than two weeks ago which isn't much.

You are all an inspiration in the focus that you continue to show.

samvanz

Since this time last week, we're up to 3,867 calories burned. Pretty damn happy with that. Hoping this next week I can burn off what I put back on over the weekend and then some.

Sweetcheeks, that's an awesome effort! Well done! And from last week's result on the scales, it's clearly doing something good!

WendyTricia

Man! I am soooo excited for this week's challenge!!!! Let's do this! I am so grateful cor this group....I need this to keep me on track.

Seraph1120

Can't wait to hear this week's challenge! My final calorie burn for this past week, weekend included, was 3102. Under the goal but way over my usual workout routine. Still proud! Thanks to you all for keeping me motivated!

Here we are guys and gals -- Purple Reigns Results for Week 1!!!


I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!!

We are missing a few check ins -- which is normal. If you see blanks by your name -- don't fret -- just send me starting weight from 8/1 and current weight.

Counting those who reported in to me -- we have lost 201.8 lbs this week. Yep -- you read that right -- over 200 lbs in a week from our group!!!! And we burned so many calories it made me giggle -- are you ready....

Seriously guys -- it's huge....

135,090 Calories Burned this week!!!!!!! And I know it was sooo much more than that because alot of people didn't turn in their numbers.


I'm just in awe of each of you!!! You've set your minds on getting fit and look at what you've done!!! It's incredible to be part of this team -- part of this challenge!!!!

Now -- this week's mini challenge. We had such an overwhelming positive response to the calories burned challenge -- we'd like to keep it. Some of the feed back we got was that 500 was alot to shoot for though. So -- Here's what we revised....we know that time is limited for alot of us. some people can burn 500 calories watching an aerobics video -- others can spend hours trying to acheive that.

Your challenge -- should you choose to accept it is......

30 minutes of exercise for at least 6 days a week.
64 oz of water/day.

What I'd like to see Friday is....
How many minutes did you exercise for....
How many calories did you burn...
How many oz of water did you drink....

I don't need daily totals unless that's how you want to send it to me . I'm not reporting these on the chart -- just adding them all up and putting it out there.

You all did a wonderful job!!! I so proud to be part of Purple Reigns!!!

Just wondering -- has anyone else ever been walking on the treadmill -- when a really good song comes on and you decide that dancing seems like a good option??

I'm totally counting the calories between losing my stride/balance and throwing myself off the treadmill (to escape from falling off , of course) and convincing myself that it'll be ok if I get back on.

43 min so far -- walking 2mph -- 278 calories burnt

I replied to a dozen emails -- added a few new friends -- multitasking is fun!!!

I am forever falling off the treadmill as I listen to a lot of Zumba tracks and lose concentration and my step, in fact I was talking to someone to day and did the same thing, had to re adjust me steps pretty quick.

It's a little messy -- but I wanted to post it so that everyone could see the results -- just in case some of you cannot access the spreadsheet.

susieoneill

Great job Team Purple!! Looking forward to this week!! Thank-you all for the motivation!! It is great to see that I am not alone and there are others with the same struggles that I have.

Shells77

Everyone kicked total azz. Love it. I'll be thinking of all of you when I stay on the path and keep on going in order to support this awesome team.

samvanz

WOW everyone, that's amazing! We all did so well. GO PURPLE!

Looking forward to knocking this week's challenge out of the ball park. Was struggling to hit the 500 cals every day, but 30 mins activity should be achievable.

Good luck, all!
