Skinny Mini September Challenge Week ONE (Closed Group)

"You be killin it, you be killin it!" Sounds like we're all off to a great start team! Nice job! I posted this as my status, but just wanted to let you all know that heart rate monitors are one of the best indicators of calories burned. This site does a great job with everything, but I've found that its not as accurate with my calories burned when I look it up on here. Because I'm smaller and more fit, I have to work harder at getting those calories burned. So, during the times I'm not wearing my heart rate monitor and enter it in on here, I really need to lower that estimate so I don't eat back as many of those calories. (It could also be muscle, but I still want the dumb scale to go down!) I've been hard core working out for 3 years now and I've learned that you need to switch up your workout routine as much as possible to keep your body guessing. It gets used to what you do. And also, if you are a "cardio queen" like I tend to be, strength training is just as important, if not more, than cardio. Just some friendly advice. Have a great weekend everyone!

How did the week go ladies? Week one will be over as of tonight!!! I was able to complete the challenges even though I didn't want to! hahaha. Starting tomorrow I'm starting a new forum for week two and I hate to say it but this week was a stinkin' breeze compared to what next week is gonna bring. Sorry Actually, I'm not sorry, you'll love me by the end of September!!!

The week went great for me. I enjoyed the challenges, as they were not things I would normally do each day. I walked my 3 miles for the team and I am ready for week 2!

Ok... so I did not get 6 extra miles done for the week, but I did 2 1/2 extra miles today (most of it was hard as heck) and so total for this half week was 3 1/2 miles...

I did the jumping jacks
I am over in water
Way under in calories... trying to eat more because I killed it today in the gym and am just barely in the positive for net calories...

Looking forward to this week...
Monday my gym is closed and we are supposed to get some very bad weather here Monday and Tuesday.... looks like I'll be stuck in the house

Hi Everyone,

I was "unplugged" for the Holiday weekend so am just checking in. I have the MFP app on my phone but cannot access the message boards. I completed all week one challenges! Plus I did my extra 3 miles for the team. Hope everyone had a great long weekend and is ready to kill week two!

Hi everyone,

I did the challenge of a week. So I did my 3 miles of the challenge group, my extra miles for the days 1, my 50 crunches with a 10lb for days 2 and my 75 jumping jack!

a great week and I hate to start another week!!
