    QUESTION: do we eat our exercise calories or not???

    Yes--from last month's challenge--you eat back your calories but just do not exceed them. It is up to you if you eat back all of them or not. As long as you do not exceed in your overall calories (to include the added calories from exercise) then you will get the point for that day.

    How does this work?

    There are exercise challenges daily & a bonus exercise challenge for the week. You get points for drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, not exceeding your overall calories (including exercise calories) daily, doing the daily exercise challenge, bonus point if you do the weekly challenge. Then you weigh in and measure on Fridays and based on the % of your weight loss & measurements, and points you got from the challenges you are ranked and either move on to the next week or get eliminated.

    It really a great challenge that gets you doing exercises (which you can do at home) that you might not normally do. I did it in November and really enjoyed it.

    Wow! This a serious challenge!
    I've done all the challenges every day, except for the walking. Im having a hard time with it. I got lucky and got a baby who hates being in a stroller for more than :cry: 15 minutes! Ugh.:cry: Im still trying. I have 10 miles to do by friday. Double ugh...and to top it off, my husband forgot to put the carseat in my truck, so now im stuck at home today.
    I have been under calories and over water though!
    Im starting to stress a little about getting the challenges done. I might have to bow out gracefully. I don't want working out to become a chore.:brokenheart:

    I have days where my little man doesn't want to be in the stroller for long. I usually try to time my walks with his naptime so that he will sleep for most of it. On the days that I can't get outside or he wants nothing to do with it (like today) I have a Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds DVD that I do. It's a 3 mile walk and I usually do it after the kids have gone to bed. You can pick them up for cheap but it might help. Don't let these challenges stress you out because in the end they do not determine your success. You can do this. If you don't make it to the next round no biggie...you can always keep doing the challenges that she puts up--then the challenge is to yourself and at your pace. :flowerforyou:

    Did not exercise yesterday or the day before. Was taking care of my kids who were sick and recovering from pulled muscles in my legs. have to find a better way of stretching to not have this happen again. Today will be back on track.

    Hi can anyone help me with what 21s and front kicks are? I can't find front kicks on you tube, and the 21s I can find are with a barbell is that right? And i'm to do 30 reps of 21 lifts, This seems like a lot. Also with windshield wipers is it the one against the wall or the one not?

    Is it at all possible to put a link to each daily challenge so people know what it is and can see that we're doing it right?
