It looks like the same people are checking in on here....how's everyone else doing? Any questions or trouble with anything? Keep up the good work!0

I was under calorie and got all my water in yesterday too. I have no idea what to do about not being here to check in on Sunday... I'll be back Monday, but maybe not until late. I'm leaving later today than I thought, so that's kind of good (for my workout!).
:laugh:Also, my dog does NOT like bear walking at all...he was flipping out. It was hilarious!
scantrll + rtalencar... Great calorie control! That's really impressive given both of your circumstances.0 -

so its the end of the week and was just wondering how everyone got on with all the challenges?? x
I'm wondering the same thing...how's everyone doing?? I was able to complete all of the pygmy and team challenges this week and do the mini challenge. This upcoming week is going to be a little tougher, but we can do it!!!
Don't forget to get me your check-in information, if you haven't done so already!0 -
Unfortunately I was unable to finish what I needed on Saturday, I got $*&^ed over at my dojo and had to help rather than doing the exercises like I had planned. I think in the future I'm going to double up on the activities and do them during the week so that I don't have to rely on getting things done on the weekend.
I did the dailies for Thursday and Friday but missed Saturday. =(
I stayed within my calories and drank enough water to Thursday through Saturday
I did not finish the Bear walk challenge. =(
I lost 1.3 pounds from my last weigh-in.0 -
Hey everyone, Check-in was yesterday and I'm still missing info from 3 people: Ashley26704, Bens_mommy, and Steph_135. Please get these to me ASAP as I need to turn in our points to Gary. (Also, I'd like to post our progress).
I can't stress enough how important it is to get me your info, and ALL of your info, on time. Please when you check in, send me a private message on MFP including the following:
Current Weight (NOT lbs lost)
Daily: # of days completed
Weekly: # of days completed
MIni: if completed or not
You don't have to put it in that format but it must include all 4 of those numbers!!! Several of you only said that you completed the challenge, so I"m not sure if that means just the daily ones, just the weekly/team one, both, or does that include the mini challenge. Please send me a message with all of that info specified separately.
I don't mean to be a pain, but it's a lot easier to track that way and I won't have to send everyone individual messages asking!
Thanks! Michele0 -
I finished the challenges for today, including an extra 1.5 miles! How's everyone else doing?0
-
I'm BACK!! Sooo sorry! But I said ahead of time that I would be late.
Current Weight (NOT lbs lost) 182
Daily: 4/4 days completed (the workouts)
Weekly: 3/4 days completed (the water/calorie challenge)
MIni: No
Got back yesterday, so that will be my "Sunday" I'll make up for Monday on Sunday!
PS - I lost 5.2 lbs!! It's gotta be mostly water, since I didn't get my adequate water on a day when I was sweating buckets!0 -
Well I just got back yesterday from a camping trip with some friends. I ate really well and stayed within my calories yesterday I didn't have time to do day 1 workout, so I'm going to be doing both day 1 and day 2 today. (I can do that right? And it will still count?) I got 1.3 miles in yesterday, but today I'll be getting in a full 5k 0

DONE Day 1 - 1 minute bear walk, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Crunches, 25 Split Squats
DONE Day 2 – 2 sets of 15 swimmer presses, 2 sets of 15 wood chops, 2 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 lawnmowers (All strength was done with 8 lbs weights.)
I've done day 1 & 2 today (didn't feel up to doing anything major yesterday). I'm going to do the 1.5 mile walk/run from day 1 tomorrow and just do at least 3 miles tomorrow. I also did 10 Burpees and 100 Mountain Climbers for another challenge and today is Zumba. I'm gonna be dead tomorrow! :laugh: 0 -
Still waiting on one more person before I can post our progress. Also, can the following people let me know if they completed the mini challenge last week (3 min bear walk)? Scantril, AMKL2007 and Ashley 26704. Thanks guys, I might have missed that posted somewhere.
Also, we are unfortunately losing Bre_Deveraux as she is too busy to do the challenge this month. I am looking for someone to take her place. Let me know if you have anyone that wants to join. Also, if you are dropping out let me know ASAP. Hopefully we can all stick together and get this done. Keep up the good work and remember to post on here when you can, so we know people are here for support!

I am the newest member of the team! Pleased to meet you all. I just completed day 1's exercises. i know I am behind because I joined late, but I am going to do my best to catch up! I walk about 2 miles daily, so that isn't going to be a problem. Thanks everyone!0
