    Just checking in. I think I forgot to upday yesterday, so yesterday I burned 223 cal, and today 205 cal, for a total of 992 calories burned so far this week.

    Okay, my exercise tracker says 2111 calories burned for the week so far. So I DID IT!! I don't know what the week runs here on this site, but I didn't do any exercise on Sunday, so it's my total since Monday.

    I'm checking in with 126 calories today. I had a nice mini workout this afternoon.
    I believe my total is now 1680 :)

    Hi all! I woke up sick this morning so I decided I was only going to walk today and ended up walking for 2 hours and 10 minutes and burned 640 calories! I have 299 left for the week so I think I'll be able to make it :)

    P.s. - to clear up any confusion, the challenge week runs Monday when the challenge starts to Sunday, and then a new challenge will start the next day on Monday. (Hope that isn't confusing.. :laugh: )

    Good job on your workouts all! I'm so proud! :flowerforyou:

    checking in with 578 calories burned for today!!! That brings me to a total of 2013 for the week so far!!! Good thing too, because I'm going to my old college this weekend to visit my sorority sisters and relive my glory days hahah!!! Don't worry, I already bought my Stoli in preparation for a weekend of drinking, but at least now I'll be sipping on vodka waters instead of Natty Light. This will definitely be a test of my will power--so wish me luck!!!! I'll be back on Sunday to get my butt back in gear, but I thought I'd just let you ladies know so you didn't think I was throwing in the towel! Keep up the good work dippers!!! :happy:

    ps. Are we including workouts done on this Sunday in the challenge? Thanksss :)

    Checking in with 1584 and I've got three days of workouts left, woo hoo! You girls will all be very proud of me, yesterday I moved furniture (up and down stairs) for an hour by MYSELF! I moved three dressers, a sewing table that weighs at least 70 lbs, and a bookcase. I was very pleased with myself! (And definitely kept repeating, "use your abs, use your abs, use your abs") hehe. I'm a little sore today, but it was a good workout, AND it means that I'm almost all set up in my sewing studio! Hoping to hit the gym tomorrow and Saturday on my work lunch break to round off my 2500 cals, and then do some yoga on Sunday. Hope everyone is doing well!! :)

    Quick check-in.... I have burned 600 cal this week thus far. (you guys are insanely killing it!)

    I really lost steam last night and tonite. I couldn't stand the thought of getting off my butt, and am feeling weirdly crazed so I have taken a bit of a break these last couple of days. I also fell off the good eating train tonight..hard...very hard... Will get back on but am traveling again this w/e so things may be dicey. This weirdness needs to end so I can feel normal and get back to my regularly scheduled eating and exercise again.

    (I have been thinking about when we were paying off debt last year and how I sometimes had the same insane feelings but a few days of weirdness, a couple dollars spent I didn't earmark for spending and we got right back on track with a renewed sense of purpose. Am hoping this is the same sort of deal!!)

    I don't know how the time got away from me (oh yeah, I have a newborn so my life is a blur right now!) but I'm sitting at about 1000 cals burned so far this week. Hearing everyone's progress and all of the exclamation points make me want to jump out of my chair and work out! So thank you for the motivation, ladies! I am so glad I got to be a part of this group :) I can't wait to try the manicotti, I would love Maxie to do the art, I'm proud of the skinny dipper who broke her plateau, and so many other things that I see on these posts. You ladies are great <3

    Hey ladies!!! Only a few more hours till my trip, but I thought I'd get a head start on our logo for our signature! I thought it'd be cute if we did first names (I went through and collected them from our introductions), but if you all would rather do MPF names thats cool too! Whatever the majority wants :happy:

    Also... If we are going to do first names I need names from Anababie, Smackadoodle, and Susie Q 777( which I would assume is susie haha). Let me know what you think! Idk if anyone has dropped off from the group or anything, but this is who I have as of right now:

    anababie
    fosterr8 -Rebecca
    Mandeiko-Amanda
    alexandra_anne-Alex
    emmabecke-Emma
    szimba-Sam
    Loristroud-Lori

    miracleminded1-Melanie
    Manders1305-Amanda

    iamahealthychick-Martina
    shashlee1984-Ashlee
    dancingnancies-Becky
    SusieQ777

    Let me know if I missed anyone, if anyone is no longer part of the group, or something is spelled wrong!!! THANKS DIPPERS :heart:

    Well I'm feeling kind of lazy today, but I think I'm going to try to force myself to move when the baby naps. I have an extremely busy day tomorrow, so I don't really think I'm going to be able to find any time to exercise tomorrow.

    Hello my friends! :) Checking in today with 923 calories....and I now need a NAP cuz that completely wiped me out. :/ It could be because I didn't have a super great day yesterday, eating wise. It was my "day off" from exercise, which I have to say, is always hard for me because on those days I try to limit my calorie-intake to 1200 and it's HARD!! I'm wondering if it would be better to go over by a couple hundred or so on Thursdays then try to stay right at or under, especially because on the days I DO exercise, I definately don't eat ALL those calories back. Any thoughts?

    Hello lovely ladies!

    I have been so bad the past two days but last night my friends begged me to be the bike person for the relay they plan to do October 1st so I agreed. I have to do more biking work out!
    This afternoon I burned 648 cal bringing my weekly total to 3344 calories. I am hopping to burn 1000 or so tonight so I am hoping to make my 5000 this week.

    If you go over by one or two hundred calories it's usually not a huge deal, especially if it's only one day a week. Just try to fill those cals with good foods and not junk :)

    Checking in with 266 cal burned today which brings me to a total of 1258 for the week. This is GREAT for me since this is the most I've exercised in the past year at least. I'm just so glad to be starting to get back on track.

    Yesterday (friday) I burned 482 calories!
    However I also had a really bad eating day and went way over :( The bonfire was fun but I feel like I lost my momentum. I am planning on working out this afternoon and will post those calories later in the day.

    Happy Saturday!

    Ladies just for clarification, this weeks challenge goes until tomorrow, so you can count tomorrow's calories into your weekly total :)


    As for me, I'm feeling a little bit better. Didn't get to work out yesterday and just decided to rest, but I'm doing Zumba this morning so hopefully I'll be okay! I only need 299 more cals so I know I'll hit 2000. Good luck to you all and have a great weekend :)

    So I came home to visit my parents and I haven't been working out as much as wanted to. I have 668 left to meet the 2,000 mark. I have confidence that I can get the 668 plus more in today. Wish me luck! :D
