BethanieK

Are we using the same spreadsheet as September? Is there a place to log on when you have accomplished all the bootcamp challeneges for the week?

Count me in again. I did pretty good in sept and love the accountability and motivation the challenges give me.......

Alright, I went running this morning for 3 miles before I even knew what the challenge was! Yah! Got that one down. The push up one will be great for me...I don't like doing weight training!

Thank for doing this!

Great challenge!! Running no problem, push-ups are going to be hard, but I will get them in somehow!!!

I am so excited about this challenge. 10lbs would be great so I really need the motivation. I'm going to do my walk now, my knees can't handle jogging. And I'll get those push ups in. Will the push ups help me to get Michelle Obama arms? lol

I am sad that I did not get to finish out the Sept challenge due to a kidney infection I am still on some antibiotics but there is no pain now-a-days ...so thats good...unfortunately due to medication and not moving around I gained 2.5 lbs back I am looking forward to doing a whole month of challenges! Here we go!

There is a new spreadsheet - the link is somewhere on the first page of this thread.

This is so great! I'm in.

So I just did some editing on the spreadsheet and checked out some of the comments that people have left - I can't believe there are so many new people! Like - this is their first challenge!! I'm so excited for all of you!!!

I'm in again!! Only lost 3lbs last month but the last few are the hardest, right?? :-) Hoping for big loss this month as I am going to Japan for 3 weeks in Nov to visit my husband and then having foot surgery as soon as I return, so I will be out of commission for a few weeks! Good luck everyone!

I can't run! Too many health problems on one side of the lower body.. but I do walk!! Will walking be ok instead of the run?

Yep! Just do whatever you can do!

babygurl48

I had walked before I joined this challenge. Hope it's ok to add it in. Walked 4.57 miles today.. couldn't run the 3 miles..and got my H20 in... now just gotta work on those pushups!! ugh!!

I'm walking too. I like to do Leslie Sansone's 1 or 2 mile walk program on Exercise TV. She also has a walk and tone and a family walk. When the weather cools down (I'm in South Florida), I'll probably start walking outside.

Good Luck.

Added myself to sheet. Weigh in today so will update the sheet then etc.

I am down for this week's challenge. I know I can work to do the push ups. The 3 mile walk/run is for the whole week (not per day)?

Already posted my starting weight. I am weighing in at 275.6 lbs. I didn't quite make the 10 lbs in September but I am still down and will continue to do so.

babygurl48

Done my 60 pushups for the day, not sure yet about jogging a mile. Water is no problem

I can't run either.. so walk it.

harmonysdream

I haven't done push ups since I was a kid, so those were tough. I had to do the ones on my knees for now. I'm gonna have to work up to the full ones lol. I also can't run like a few other people have mentioned, so I walked it and threw in an extra mile today This is great fun and motivation so far! Thanks for letting me join in. This is my first challenge and I LOVE it already.

No negative comments

Mini-Challenge for Week 1:
>As always - 64oz water/day - just DO it!
>360 push-ups...with a twist...this is only 60/day, but I want you to do it in 15 minutes...yes, that's all...60 push-ups in 15 minutes...4 per minute. I got this idea from a guy in spin class - he said they would do 1, 3, or 5 push-ups every minute for an hour and that it ended up being a KILLER ab workout. We might work up to that, but for now I just want you to do 4 per minute for 15 minutes. If you can't do a real push-up and need to be on your knees, that's fine, just do them somehow. (great for commercial breaks!!)
>3 mile run - not necessarily all at once - divide it up however you like, but by the end of next Thursday, I want you to have ran 3 miles. If you can do it all in one shot - more power to you - if you have to walk it because you can't run - that's fine - just get in 3 miles on your feet.

Not so bad, huh? Well - we still have 3 more weeks for me to add to it... :devil:

Best of luck to everyone!!! :drinker:

Awesome! I've already got half the running down from yesterday! Water is no problem, the pushups will be a little bit of a challenge, but doable. (no commercial breaks for me...no tv!)

zumbawhit

Push-ups... Do those already. Running... I love, but my foot doesn't. Better keep the ice pack and insurance card handy! LOL!!!

Don't hurt yourself! You probably run more than 3 miles in a week chasing after all those kiddos, though!!

That's probably true! LOL! I always count my time in Wal-Mart wrestling them and a shopping cart as "pushing stroller with child"... LOL!

Hi all, I am so excited about this month's challenge!!! I REALLY need to lose these 10 pounds. I fell into a slump over the past few months and haven't been able to snap out of it. Being held accountable by others will truly help, and I am SOOOOOOOO ready for this!

I would love to gain some friends on MFP from this, so please feel free to add me as a friend.

Thanks for the support! LET'S DO THIS!!!
