I can pick up some extra if anybody needs help with theirs. I am doing another challenge with a friend that requires an ab workout every night. Let me know if you need help.

juleseybaby

Amy - that would be great!

TEAM - we will EACH need to do about 35-36 ADDITIONAL CRUNCHES per day for 6 days in order to reach that goal of 4000. (This is in addition to crunches that may be a part of the daily exercise challenges!!)

Yowza!!

GOING FOR ROCK HARD ABS!!!

If anyone can't pull off that many due to illness or injury - please post here so that one of us can pick up some extra!! I need all the ab work I can get - so I will take on some more too - LOL!

ycc1964

I can do at least 100 additional cruches in the AM and in the PM . LET"S DO THIS (in my cheerleaders voice).

ycc1964

1.2lbs this week, I was hoping for more but I will take whatever I can get:ohwell:

LouD76

Hello girls (and Gary)...

I finally found the Week 3 Challenges.. .

OK... I'll do 50 ab crunches for 5 days (so 250 for the week just a few extra for any one that might have a short fall)... I do a 100 kick squats every day, so I will have to do 150 today.. oh wow...

I was with out a PC almost half the week last week (IT guy spend more time on it than I did :frown: ), so I didn't report all of my activities.. So just to make sure you guys know (Jules).. I have done all of the challenges... walked 5 miles in total last week as well.

Now the only bad this is I gained weight last week 2.8kg (6lbs) :sad: :noway: :explode: :mad: PLEASE TELL ME WHY!!!! I was under my calorie count every day.. (didn't always make the best food choices though) exercised like a mad woman (had TTOM as well ) and then this morning a gain. I checked earlier in the week and it was up already, was hoping it was just water or something but still it didn't come down. I've noticed before in the past that when I exercise a lot I gain weight. :brokenheart: I'm hoping that my body will adapt and start to show a loss and not go up. It is frustrating when you try so hard.

ycc1964

Hi team, I off today so I'm getting an early start. I did not loose as much as I would have liked but I know it's from my diet I need to eat a cleaner diet. I am going home this weekend and hope they can see a difference so I am going to try very hard to eat well and I definetly would work hard with the challenge. This is what I've done so far:


50 Squat Kicks* and 3 sets of 12 Woodchops DONE

100 Abd crunches DONE

4 glasses of water DOWN

LET"S DO THIS

:bigsmile:

skbruewer

Down 1 lb at weigh in this morning. I'm hoping for bigger numbers in the coming weeks, but at least it's moving in the direction I want!

[PLEASE TELL ME WHY!!!! I was under my calorie count every day.. (didn't always make the best food choices though) exercised like a mad woman (had TTOM as well ) and then this morning a gain.)

I understand your pain but It may be your food choices, food choice is very important when it comes to weight loss. I've heard it said that 80% of weight loss is from diet. This weekI am going to try increasing fiber and protein to see if that helps may you should consider trying this as well.

skbruewer

I've also determined that salt is the DEVIL!

Lou - I reviewed about a week of your diary... looks like you are mostly under on sodium - so that is good. (Yes skbruewer - salt is the :devil: !!) Keep up with the water - there was 1 day that none was recorded - dunno if that was just an 'oopsie' of not keeping track or not.

I suggest that you attempt 5-6 small meals per day (around 200 calories each depending on your calorie intake goals and try to have a protein source in every meal), making sure to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours. It looks like you may just be a breakfast/lunch/dinner person. Listed snacks were mostly coffee. TTOM did not help... never does. Retain water while you crave salty & chocolate yumminess! BLEH!

Don't give up!! I was bad - HORRIBLE yesterday!! I am not even sure I entered the right amount of calories in or burned. Thank goodness my weigh-in was from Sunday morning and not this morning - that's all I have to say!! I will take this as an opportunity to redirect and push a little harder this week.

WE CAN DO IT!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

juleseybaby

I did 40 crunches this morning. Will complete the remainder of the challenges after class tonight. Ugh. Mondays are LONG.

LOove it...especially the part in the cheerleaders voice LOL!

Gary1977

Under calories, over water, and daily challenges completed (modified of course being I'm 500lbs:blushing: ).
As far as the ab crunches are concerned, they are damn near impossible for me to do. I'm much better @ situps. I'll do 200
this week if they are an ok substitute. Please let me know.

I didn't lose any weight this week. In fact I somehow gained .2 lbs (around 3 oz). Not sure how. I know my sodium was over, but
my water is always great. It could be my body was withholding extra water for muscle repair. I won't stress until another week ends like this one. I haven't had a week like this in several months.

Anyways, good luck team!
