    Well no loss for me this week...gonna try and change thing's up a little and see if that helps?!? I am changing my settings to maintain so that I give myself more calories, I don't have a HRM so I don't track my exercise but I know I burn everyday, I will lower my calories on Sunday because that is my day off from exercise. I talked to my boot camp instructor and she said that I am under eating and need to eat more...still can't grasp that concept but I am going to give it a try! I plan on getting a HRM but for now this is how I am going to do it unless someone has a better idea???

    Congrats to all of you that lost this week GREAT JOB!!!

    So I just checked what I would get for calories if I changed my weight loss goal to maintain and it is 1760...that is A LOT!!!
    I have no clue what to do??? I know that there is no way I would be able to hit that daily, I have a hard time getting up over 1000...I am going to try my best to not let this stress me out (to much) this was the reason I left MFP the first time around...won't let it happen again!

    Sorry for venting everyone

    20 step ups.
    20 sit ups.
    20 squats.
    20 jumping jacks.

    I know it's pretty lazy!! :P

    Hello ladies, I was chosen to be the team leader this week for Team Dasher so I will do my best to do you all proud and help you stay motivated. I will also have different team members set the mini challenges everyday for the week like the last team leader did. As for the weekly challenge lets all try to do two carb free days and go for a 1 hour walk with a loved one a couple of days out of the week. Drink lots of water and watch your calories. Everyone have an awesome weight losing week!

    No loss again this week - three in a row. Food calories have been all over the map and exercise inconsistent. I think it's because we are getting into the rainy season. I have two weeks before I am on vacation so this is my public committment to stay on track for the next 14 days. Really - should it be so hard?

    Has anyone tried using light therapy to improve deal with SAD?

    I only just got online again myself hun! I wish I'd got on earlier! Despite the time, I'm going to do my step ups and a couple of 30 sec planks... *I've had a drink or two (or five) so it may be a wasted venture but a little effort is better than none! ;)

    Great challenge!! :D

    I hope that everyone is having a great weekend :bigsmile:

    Team Rudolf here is your mini challenge for Sunday

    Jumping Jacks x 50 I am going to change it up a little...do 25 of them with weights.

    Squats x 50 do them with your weights.

    Single-Leg Hip Extensions x50 (25 each leg).
    Lie faceup with your arms out to the sides, right knee bent, left leg straight and raised a few inches off the floor. Lift your leg until it's in line with your right thigh and push your hips upward, forming a straight line from shoulders to knees. Pause, then lower to start. Do all reps, then switch legs and repeat.

    Lunges x50 (25 each leg) and for fun...do them with your weights :wink:

    LET'S DO THIS TEAM RUDOLF!!!
