Hi guys, been hiking today and my calorie count is now 19.004. I jogged near the end to boost my calories, a first for me. It took me 55 mins to get up that peak last time, wanted to do it in 40 mins today, did it in 39mins 58 seconds lol. Ended with a heart rate of 182bpm, wanted the 40 mins badly! lol. It was only 7 weeks since i last did it so fitness levels improving loads. I actually really enjoyed it today. Considering my fybro is bad at the moment too im really happy with that! Less than 1000 cals to 20,000. Party tomorrow for my niece birthday on Halloween and work Monday, but i will get that 1000 in no matter what lol... doing great everyone! nearly there! Xmas challenge here we come! x0

Aw well, your not far off at all. I think you've done an amazing job, and there's always the next challenge. Think of how far you have come and the weight you have lost this month, you should be so proud of yourself. I certainly am... On the Christmas challenge I think i'm going to set a 30,000 calories burnt challenge for myself, average is just over 500 calories per day, you in? Means we will probably burn more some days, and less others and it will average out. You inspire me and im so proud of you, so glad yo have you as my friend on here!!! Go Brian!!!0 -

I wanted to lose 7 pounds but have actually lost 9 pounds. Woohoo!
I can put my old work trousers on and walk around in them so I'm happy with that. I still need to lose a bit more before I can risk sitting down in them, lol.
I set a goal of 3,000 calories a week, then upped it to 20,000 for the month. I made my goal comfortably in the end, so am chuffed about that too.
I wanted to introduce some new types of exercise. I've started 2 new DVD's- one yoga/ pilates and the other a new biggest loser workout. I bought 1kg weights (only using 450g weights previously) to use in my workouts. I have also increased speed/ distance for walking.
I had planned to fit in 2 extra swims this month but I only managed one. But I did swim much longer on 2 occasions so feel I made up for it somewhat. i have swum 7km this month.
October challenge finished!
I just want to thank everyone for your support and encouragement. It has really spurred me on. I am in awe of all your achievements. xx0 -
