Met all exercises, water, and calorie challenges as reported earlier. Tried a new food and exercise and did additional ab crunches for team. NEW WEIGHT as of this morning 123.8. Sara you were right. Lost of water (a lot of water) did help. Thanks0
-
Sorry I was so MIA yesterday. I lost my internet and electricity for the majority of yesterday, someone must have took out a power line or something.
I was able to complete all of my challenges and to my surprise yesterday (and today) I weighed in at 135!!!! Didn't think I would see that this month, or next!
You are all doing so great and this week is showing a lot of losses because you have all been so dedicated!
As far as the before pics, I think Gary had something planned for them but I do not know if he is still doing it. I will see if I can find out.0 -
Congratulation on the surprise weight loss! My metabolism must have finally kicked in because I seem to be dropping almost too fast all of a sudden.0
-
I was under calories & over water yesterday & I managed to get in my last two daily exercise challenges today - up downs & woodchops. Oh, and I did my last 100 pledged team crunches today even though we hit the 4000 mark already. I don't see any problems coming in under calories for today or getting in enough water
I haven't weighed myself this weekend, but will do that bright & early tomorrow morning good job on your losses this week y'all! hopefully I can join in the celebration with you tomorrow 0 -
So I threw some videos in here for you all to reference if you need to.

Weekly Team Challenge
4000 team crunches, 4000 Jumping Jacks and 100 extra miles! This equals about 200 per team for
crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last
part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next
month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking
back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to
exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep
it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!0 -
my weight was 178.1 this week. Not much but I am surprised I lost any this week with my husband being off work all week and us celebrating all week. I made good choices and got in quite a bit of exercise but I ate out a lot this week. You ladies rock, you are doing great.
CONGRATS to everyone that lost weight and contributed to the ab crunchs.........0 -
I am assuming the swimmers presses are 2 sets of 25. Sara do you know if that is what Gary meant.0

Good morning beautiful people! Here is today's challenge:
Day 1: 2 sets of 20 Windshield Wipers, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of Swimmer’s Presshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omeqA3O4DUk
I am going to assume that the swimmer's press is 2 sets of 15 as listed in day 4. If you can do more then do more! YOu will only be benefiting yourself.0 -
swimmer press: 2 sets of 15 sounds very doable.0
-
Good Morning Ladies! I am determined to send this challenge out with a bang! I think today's challenges are doable for me (mostly upper body so that's fine). I'm not sure what Windshield Wipers are but I'll take a look, if I can't do Gary posted that we could to crunches instead. :bigsmile:0

Those wipers killed me! If it wasn't for those I would have been able to do way more crunches today...maybe later. I am waiting for my OH to get home from work so I can go run.
What did you all think of the wipers? I think the other big killer for me is going to be Tuck Jumps, I did a lot of them in Turbo Fire but I am definitely going to have to break them down in to sets.0 -
Anything with jumps is going to be problem for me. I've got a bad left knee. I will at least try before I say I can't though. I'm surprised I've gotten through the jumping jacks.
I'm feeling very old right now. In addition to the knee, I just got back from the Dr. and he gave me some physical therapy exercises for my right elbow and told me to get a brace and rest it for 2 weeks. So for the rest of this month I will have to substitute for anything using my right arm and probably for anything jumping which is a pretty big chunk.
At least I'm good at crunches I was going to say something about lying on my back but I think I'll just leave it alone. 0 -
A side note: The Dr. recommended P920X. He said he has had diabetic patients who have used it and he didn't recognize them when they came in.0
-
lots of spare time at work today. I red an entire Nicholas Sparks Book (sappy and boy gets girl of course in the end)
Also got some of the exercises in.

I will try to pick up the slack on the crunches! After the wipers I have come to the conclusion that I really need to work on my core!
I will pledge 800 crunches, 600 jumping jacks and 12 miles. Of course I will do more if we need it. I think we have really lost some members with the exercises and I am unsure how to get them back on track! I will think of something!0 -

Here is a good way to modify tuck jumps, you can even do it with a little less bouncing. It's the first thing she does.

As long as you folks are doing crunches, I pledge 20 extra miles, 600 extra jumping jacks and 100 extra crunches.0
-
Thanks for the tuck jumps modification. I should be able to do that. And I can do plenty of crunches. I'll pledge 800 too. Jumping Jacks and walking are my struggles so I need to stick to the 200 and 5 miles. I am trying to work up the miles to prepare for next week, so I may send in an extra 1 or 2, but don't want to commit until I'm sure I can do it. Do stationary bike miles count? I can do more of those.0

Have a great day everyone!
Day 2: 2 sets of 20 Tuck Jumps, 50 Squat Kicks, 20 Globe Jumpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axPVRWwTf84
Yes, stationary bike miles count as do elliptical miles....as long as they are extra and outside your normal routine!0 -
hey guys
i came in under calories, over water yesterday, did the challenges that were actually assigned to yesterday as well aqs 100 crunches towards the team goal i guess i didnt read well enough the list of stuff for this week because i didnt realize we were doing team jumping jacks too or i would have done some of those too...hopefully ill be able to get some miles and some jumping jacks in this eve!
anyway, im posting my crunches but im posting the other lists too so they can all stay together.
hope everyone has a good day!

Hi team! I finally feel like I"m back in the game. I did the swimmer's presses and 21's yesterday and I did 40 crunches for the Windshield Wipers (they were too much for my back at the moment-let me know if I need to do more to meet this challenge). I also walked one extra mile for the team challenge. I'll do crunches and miles for the team but I don't think I'll be able to manage jumping jacks (too much bouncing). Calories and water met also.

Exercise challenges done for the day. Did they kill me... almost. I started to do my miles outside. The rain came, then the lightening, then the downed tree branch not far from me. I called home and finished on the elliptical.

Well....I've been debating whether or not to to the gym at lunch time today but it looks like I have some serious challenges to complete! I really need to read things more carefully because I totally missed the extra miles, jumping jacks, and crunches. I'll post what I get done after lunch!0

I didn't realize elliptical miles count. That makes me feel better about being able to meet all the challenges 0
