On behalf of Karie and this week's contributors here is our Week 6 Challenge:

Cardio: Due to it's success we are keeping Renu's challenge from last week going. Here it is again for conveinence sake.
Cardio: Possible 12 points + Bonus miles in Part 1
Created by Renu
Part 1- Time for walking.. Walking is the best exercise for staying fit and healthy, be it Leslie Sansone's walk at home, a leisurely walk with your kids, brisk walking to gear up the metabolism or walking on treadmill. Set a goal for yourself this week in terms of miles to be covered, say 10 miles in one week.. If you are an running/jogging expert, feel free to include that as well.. Lets walk away those pounds this week.. You meet your goal and earn 5 points and one extra point for each mile exceeded. (Suppose your goal is 10 and you covered 12 miles, you earn 2 extra points)
Part 2- Interval training. Introduce intervals in your walking or workout for 3 days this week. Suppose you are walking on a treadmill, change your walking phase from 3 to 3.5 for a mins, include the incline, etc..Intensity is measured in a scale of 1 to 10. Eg, 1 = standing still, 5=jogging, 10=running..Mix and match walking and running.. This will boost your metabolism as well..
Points-3
Part 3- Logging the details in the spreadsheet for 4 days

Its been a few months since all of us started this journey together, first on the 60 day challenge and now as motivated mommas, how do you feel you have changed personally? Not just in weight loss but how has your outlook on life changed? Are you happier? More self-assured?? Have people noticed these changes?
***Remember to post your week 5 weights on the week 5 thread as well as on the spreadsheet found here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnwPqv9GV3KzdGJmckI0LXhiV2piODNrU3o3NG9XRVE&hl=en_US#gid=0

I'm looking forward to this week's challenge. I need to get some more walking in, so I love that this pushes me to do it, even when I really don't want to. Also, I can't wait to get some more recipes for dinners. My family is getting kinda bored of the same old stuff over and over again (it doesn't bother me, but I know my DH would like some new stuff).0

Love this weeks challenge, I always enjoy when we get to share recipes and since I just found this one recently I thought why not!!! Im not sure about the nutritional values but its a good looking well rounded meal, and its meat-free. However im sure you could throw in some chicken or beef if you wanted to!
This recipe makes one large tortilla stack, which might serve one hungry eater or two kids. Multiply the amounts as needed for more servings. You can also use small tortillas and have each person make his/her own.
I like to top these with low fat sour cream.
Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
1 cup/250 mL medium salsa
1/2 cup/125 mL water
1 can (5.5 oz/156 mL) tomato paste
1 can (15 oz/540 mL) black beans, drained
1 can (12 oz/341 mL) corn, drained
1/2 cup/125 mL fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups/500 mL Monteray Jack cheese, grated (use far free or 2% cheese)
4 soft small whole grain tortillas
In a bowl, combine the salsa, water and tomato paste.
In another bowl, combine the beans, corn and cilantro.
Place a tortilla on a greased baking sheet.
Top with 1/3 of the salsa mixture, 1/3 of the bean mixture, and 1/4 of the cheese.
Top with another tortilla and repeat as above.
Repeat. (Another tortilla, etc.)
End with the last tortilla.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake until the filling is hot and the cheese is melted (about 10-12 minutes).0 -

Ladies,
I have to go slow this week as my knee has not recovered yet, but do not want to leave the challenge. So I have go slow.. My goal is 8 miles for this week, looking to cover approx 1 mile daily.. Strength, I will try and do few of them, may not be able to do all of them. I finding it difficult when folding my leg, knee joint hurts.. Is anyone aware of any exercises to relieve this pain?
Will do only bit of stretching in the mornings and some walking.. No other exercise for this week.. My hubby didnt want me to do the walking as well, but I do not want to go back to the same routine of couch potato (I know I may not have lost so much of weight, but i hit the healthy range and do not want to follow the old routine)0 -

Do you go to a gym? Maybe they have a pool you could walk laps around the pool? Not as much impact on your knees but still burning the calories.0 -
I am so spent, stressed, and over the top overwhelmed ... I will be MIA until Sat., in order to mediate some of the issues at hand... sorry guys- but I just have to be honest with what I have at the moment.
My plan is to follow the Challenge this week- I will have access to my mobile MFP app (i.e. logging food/ exercise, checking in on my status) but I will not be able to log on the spreadsheet or access the Week 6 message thread. I will report/ log/ etc. when I get back on Sat.
Take care everyone; hit it hard this week!!0 -

Points for yesterday, sorry for flaking ladies I got a migraine and just all over dissapointed in what I saw on the scale yesterday. I was a little bit of a wreck and ended up not working out. Today is a new day and I'm ready to get it together and lose the extra weight that I have put on recently. My goal for the next few weeks is to get to 132 by Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed!!!

Hey gals!
I just wanted to post an update on the situation with Baby Madeline that I mentioned on the Week 5 thread. She is doing much better and was released from the hospital yesterday after the fever breaking a few days ago and now gaining back some of the weight she had lost throughout her stay. They still don't know what caused the sudden onset of fever (although they attribute the inability to eat as a side effect of the fever). Both mom and baby are at happy to be home. Thanks to all for sending mental well-wishes to the family in their time of need. I know that Mom and Dad both felt a huge outpouring of suuport from their friends, family and communicty at large so thank you all for being a part of that.

It just breaks my heart anytime I hear about little ones being sick, and I've been praying for her and her family ever since you told us what was going on! Im so happy to hear that she is doing better!0 -
Ok points for today, look quite a bit better then yesterday! Im happy to report that the ugly gain I had this week has finally vanished, I am back down to 236.9 and I worked super hard today to keep it there, or get it under! I woke up and just smiled today because I knew today would be better, and I will continue fighting. My wonderful Wii kinda got me in a funk when it told me a healthy weight for me would be 136.9 errrm :noway: so instead of thinking I only had 60lbs to go really I need to drop 100...I think I'll stick to shooting for another 20 lbs for right now...BABY STEPS!!!

Emotional 1/1pt
Thursday-4 pts today for logging, intervals, food and emotional...its down there.
Emotional Challenge- First off let me start by saying that I got REALLY good at putting a smile on my face and letting people think I was happy with myself in everyway, when in reality I HATED myself. I didnt like the way I felt, looked, or lived. Now that that is out of the way let me also say that I am in no way fixed, I still get very down on myself about every little thing. I feel like I can be a great supporter but I dont feel like Im doing as well as I could be. On a lighter note since starting to work out and eat better the way I feel has really changed, I have more energy and I just FEEL better. Im still not real happy with how I look but Im sure I will get there eventually. Its a wonderful thing to have a support system and having people in my life that are proud of what I am doing makes me proud of myself. After many many years of hating myself...I really am starting to love me!0 -

Its been a few months since all of us started this journey together, first on the 60 day challenge and now as motivated mommas, how do you feel you have changed personally? Not just in weight loss but how has your outlook on life changed? Are you happier? More self-assured?? Have people noticed these changes?
