    I guess i am missing something Your working out WAY to hard to loose 1 lb. in a week. I have lost 45lbs of fat and gained 20lbs of pure muscle since july and i dont work out nearly what your proposing. It took me two years and loosing no weight or fat to figure out that hiking 20 miles and biking 35 miles a week in addition to working out twice a day just wasnt doing it for me i actually gained weight because i was not eating enough and what i was eating was not very clean food. It was about the diet not being insane about running for 6 hours or wasting my time on a treadmill for more than 30 mins. Now that i have figured it out i do not work out for more than 45-60 mins a day 5 days a week and still loose 1-2 lbs of FAT a week and Yes i gain about 1lb of muscle in place of that. So explain to me why killing myself working out is going to do what exactly?? besides waste my time.

    Well, when I started out I was losing 3-4 pounds per week. Now that I'm 13 pounds from my goal weight, I'm eating more calories and slowing the weight loss a little (purposefully). And the more I exercise, the better I feel! Plus, I'm working on my endurance levels because I'm running a half marathon in February and need to be accustomed to 2-3 hours of continuous exercise. I don't feel it's a waste of my time at all. I don't miss out on anything I did before except watch television...I've come to the realization that watching TV was the REAL waste of my time. Now I'd rather go on a long walk with my dog. Anyway, thanks for your comment. Of course, you don't have to join. It's not for everybody. Have a great weekend! :o)

    I loved this challenge in November and will definitely participate in December!

    tarmacsports - you know as well as I do that this journey is different for everyone, and what works for one doesn't work for another. those who choose to participate in this challenge enjoy working out harder and longer than others - for some of us, it's our only "me" time for the day and it's a big stress relief to push our bodies further than we thought we could. I am happy that you have found what works for you and know how your body works - please respect that burning 5,000 calories a week is what works best for us and we love having a group to support and motivate each other.

    Yeah! What she said!! :)

    For the questions asked: You can post as many times/wk as you want. I only post on Mondays. Yes, you can log calories burned doing ANYTHING! And, no, it is NEVER too late to join the challenge. Also, please join even if you think burning 5,000 calories/wk is impossible for you. It is always good to have a goal to work towards.

    Just think, "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got!"

    *Everyone's doing great so far...keep up the great work! I know it will be hard this month but we CAN do it!*
