    I've been working out all afternoon - on and off :bigsmile:
    Burned up 725 calories so far, got another 275 before I reach my target for today :bigsmile:

    I'm just doing dinner, then I'll join you, gonna get my pilates ball out tonight - once I've used my mini bike :drinker:

    Jackie what are you doing to burn so many calories? I don't have the stamina for too much just yet. I had those surgeries last year and never tried to get my stamina back after them so I guess I am working from scratch! :grumble: It's harder than I thought it would be but I am ready for it b/c it will be so worth it!:bigsmile:

    Hi I'm new to all this. I'm going to ask a stupid question, what is a purple people eater?

    In response to your question, if you have snow, cross country skiing is a great way to quickly burn calories.

    We made Biggest Loser teams on here and I am on the purple team and Purple People Eaters is our name! Did you join a team yet? If not I think there may be time and still room on the red team.

    I feel like such a bum - I can't believe how much you all exercise. I just joined the 50+ group and some women there are also burning an amazing amount of calories. I guess I am going to have to get my act together and really push (am feeling so lazy). Taking several weeks off because of a cold and then a bad back did not help. I did finally go the gym today, but I am going to take it easy for now. I plan to go to my senior citizen aerobics class tomorrow - the teacher is my age and she is very knowledgeable. I enjoy the music and routines and actually sweat.
    Have a good night all and keep up the impressive work-outs. Purple is going to rule on Wed.!

    Ok I've officially found my fav post work out snack!! A banana sliced in half long ways, peanut butter spread on top of one side, then line raisins up on top of the PB n then top with the other half of the banana, scrumpscious and it provides protein n potassium for your muscles!
