    Foodluver- that's how you join! Your now part of the group! Good luck!!

    We should be proud guys! I don't see any gains at all so although some of us thought we were bad actually it wasn't nearly as bad as you (or I) thought!

    I'm going to try and get a short 3mile run in today, I've not done one in ages! So it could take a while lol ferff your not alone :( perks of having had two children!

    Have a great weekend guys :)

    Been on a stay-cation this week. Been so busy I haven't been on MFP very much. Looks like I maintained for this week, which is okay for me. Today I braved the cold and took part in a 3.5 mile run. 42 out... brrr! At least it stopped raining before the run started! I am definitely in for the 12 miles this week. I don't think that I will be up for the jumping jacks... I hate them with a passion and they bug my knees. Instead I will be focusing on completing the hundredpushups.com program for the week. Time to get my pushups back on track for my PT test!

    Looks like everyone has been doing great this week. Hopefully I will be a bit more social next week!!

    Have a good day guys!!! XO

    I have done 7 miles cycling and 1.5 miles walking so far, does my 1 mile swim on Saturday count towards my total or is that bending the rules?! 300 jumping jacks down, 400 to go! Spinning tonight so should get the milage up.

    The weather was so awesome this weekend, I've already done more than my 12 miles just in the long weekend. 9 miles of it was walking on the beach. :)

    10/8: 0 jumping jacks / 0.8 miles
    10/9: 0 jumping jacks / 2.2 miles
    10/10: 150 jumping jacks / 1.8 miles
    10/11: 150 jumping jacks / 3.2 miles

    I also gained 2 lbs over the weekend and am blaming it on sodium, seeing as how I consumed a dozen hot tamales on Saturday. So I'm just going to stay with the same weight I had last week.

    500 jumping jacks done, 11 miles down..eating all my veggies everyday:smile:

    I need some help:
    I'm going on holidays next wednesday for 2.5 weeks...I'll still have access to internet, but I don't know how faithful I'll be! Anyone want to take care of the challenges until I get back? I'll be back home on Nov 8th. Send me a message if you are willing to do this...I've already got all of the challenges jotted down for the remaining weeks, or you can make up your own.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm so happy to be back!!! I had no internet, or cable, for 5 full days. . .it was rough! I'm SO happy to be apart of the world again and back on MFP :)

    Happy Thursday, everyone, Good luck with the Week 4 Challenge!

    Week 4 definitely sounds do-able! Although I have to say I'm a little frustrated. The scale hasn't really moved for me yet. The only thing I can think of is that this past weekend wasn't my best lol. One of my good friends was in town from out of state, I had a wedding reception to go to, and a family reunion with a buffet of food! So maybe that's why I haven't seen it get any lower. I'm going to cut out drinking for a while (which I hadn't done much of since summer has been over except for last weekend) maybe that will help.

    If i don't see any change next week I may try to zig-zag. Has anyone done this when the have NOT been on a plateau?

    What would that entail? I can help you, but am limited on time. Let me know if I can help and how, ok? :)

    I did about 50% of the challenge (I know - "booooo!") - But I ate lots of veggies and really worked on tracking. I had to weigh in today because I will be out of town tomorrow. I lost 2 pounds this week! :)

    50% is better than 0%:) Great job on the loss!!!! I hope I can move my ticker tomorrow...
    Thanks so much for the offer to help, but StormieL will be posting for the next few weeks

    I'm not seeing much change either...I haven't tried zig-zaging, let us know how that goes. I think I need to cut out drinking too(after I come back from holidays:devil: )

    well I'm glad the jumping jacks are over :tongue: I think this weeks challenge is definitely doable. I lost five pounds this week (I've just started out so I'm sure I'll plateau soon and things will get hard)

    Good luck for the coming week.

    Lost 1 lbs, but no jumping jacks for me bladder can't do those, but did start HIIT training this week. I ate my raw vegetables all week..Got 9.5 miles in out of 12 miles, not too bad...
  • Trillian73

    I did some of my jumping jacks, but not all of them. Did about 16 miles. I ate a fair amount of veggies, although I don't think I managed raw ones every day. :p

    I stayed under my calorie goal every day and exercised, and still managed to GAIN 2 lbs. this week. Ugh. It better be water weight. :p

    No junk food? At all?? But...I have Oreos in the house! ;) I don't think I can do all the crunches, but I'll do as many as I can.

    Weigh-in Friday!!! I lost 2.8 pounds this past week - the first actual loss in a while! Hallelujah!

    Down 1 Lb this week....slowly creeping my way out of the 170's!! I think I need to eat a few more calories..the slimfast shakes didn't work this past week, although it was easy because I didn't have to think about breakfast or lunch:)
    Great job on the losses ladies!!!
    @Trillian- don't sweat it...looks like you've had a good week-16 miles, that's fantastic:):) It will come off, are you eating enough calories? The no junk part of the challenge is going to be bad..but I really need to learn to stay away from it, wish I didn't like it so much!!!
    Good Luck this week everyone!!! XO
