Weekly Challenges Until Christmas- Week 1

tamiwinters1

So... when I clicked on Alaina's name it said she has deactivated her account...? If that is true, we should still do this! I don't know how to do the registration form, but we could simplify it a little and still do this. Not sure how we would set up the teams... Any ideas?

I'm still in!!! do we need to do teams? every week we could pick a challenge or something extra to add to our usual fitness routine like do 100 squats/day for the week or lunges, crunches whatever. If I actually knew how to use the computer, we could do up a chart with everyones progress...maybe we should look through some of the closed groups to see how they've set up:)

I'm still in. I liked the idea of having some new challenge each week...I think this week was supposed to be drinking our water?

Some groups keep charts; others just have each person keep track of their own, I think.

I've been doing pretty well this week...drinking my water, walking just about every day I think.

How's everyone else doing?

I’m excited to join the group. I had lost 30 lbs, but then I stop exercising. I gained haft the weight back. Today is the day I get back on track. I got up at 0400 to work out before work and it felt great.

So....today is Thursday.... time to post the challenge for week 2, looks like we've lost our group leader so I'm just gonna throw this out there for next week if anyone is still interested:

Drink 10 glasses of water/day
do 5 workouts this week
do 100 squats everyday this week

Tomorrow is weigh-in and start of the new challenge week. Good luck everyone!!!
If any of you have any ideas or suggestions for future weeks...please jump in and post them

Thank you for jumping in and doing this! I'm still in. I'll post my weight in the morning. I'm a little nervous about agreeing to do 100 squats a day.....but okay, I'll try! Somebody may have to message me to remind me...I seem to have a mental block on remembering that squats EXIST!!!

I would like to join this challenge. I am working to get my butt in gear for my PT test in November... so I need all the accountability I can get!

SW: 217
CW: 201
GW: 180 by the end of the challenge

Fitness goals: To build back up to 5 mile runs, to run at least 3 times a week, and to get my 1.5 mile run down to low 15's by late November.

I will have to remember the squats... I started a situp program today and start the pushup program tomorrow... so by time I throw in a run and my squats I should be feeling it!!

Are we going to keep using this thread, or make a new one for week 2?

My weigh in is the same as last week BUT I'm not frustrated. I know 100% it's because I celebrated when my softball team won the championship lol. Softball is over now and I am completely focused!

I'm 175 this morning...down from 177 last week!!! got 25/100 squats done so far today......boy my butt's gonna be hurting tomorrow LOL!!
So do any of you on here know how to do up a chart for our progress..cause I don't!
@proudmama I never even thought about making a new thread...maybe we should just rename this group and start a new thread that we can just use, rather than making a new one every week?
@kkauz42-congrats on your win!! That's fantastic that you didn't gain(I would have!!)

Trillian73

I weighed in at 272.5 this morning - down 2 pounds.

100 squats a day?? Okay...I'll give it a shot...

Challenge Goal Weight CGW: 180

If we move to a different thread I would name it something monthly, I know once you hit a certain number of posts it locks the thread. We might run into that problem if we try to make it to Christmas on one thread, but I think monthly we would be safe.

@ trillian73- Great job!! Keep up the good work....as for the squats I've got 75 done so far today(it's not to bad if you break it up into small sets:)
@ proudmama- sounds like a plan...we will start a new thread at the beginning of every month..I'll start one now and call it " Fit For Christmas Challenge-October"
I'll post this weeks challenge again and hopefully everyone will find it!!
