    i worked out yesterday. did some challenges from another biggst loser group also. only did 12 burpees, and i did my plank. thats a long 60 seconds, but i have been doing alot of plank moves with the jillian videos so i was prepared lol. one of the exercises from the other challenge was woodchoppers and i used a 5 pound kettlebell. killer on my sides

    I was using a medicine ball doing ball slams with a 10 pounder which uses the same motion as the woodchop. Glad that I grew up on a farm for those
    dang. i need to find some cheap weights and balls and bells. i did not grow up on a farm so arm and ab strength are complete strangers

    Be careful doing those woodchops if you don't have a lot of ab strength. I was doing those when I first started getting fit and threw my back out. They're a GREAT exercise, but if you haven't been coached on how to do them properly and if you let your form go even for a second, you can really hurt yourself.

    Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now. :happy:

    Ahh mermaid, sometimes it is needed though. Except since I am going all of jan with no drinking, I have not had a drop since Christmas day as far as wine goes.

    Do we have weigh-in tomorrow? And we go by what the starting weight we gave you was, right?

    Hopefully now that Nick's not drinking, we'll win the challenge! :)
    (just kidding Nick...I am super impressed you gave it up completely!)

    I only gave it up for january. Not for the rest of my life. I am not that crazy. I didnt lose anywhere near what I wanted to. The thing is that it is weird. When I weighed in for the challenge that isn't my regular weigh in day. So I lost 4 lbs for the 2 weeks. I guess I am going to have to change to fridays for this challenge

    Even though I've been too busy to get online much, am I still a part of the team, or have I been "offed?" Just wondering, so I know whether to log anything when I have time. Thanks.

    i believe you have been moved to the at home area of the team. i think there will be a winner from that section also, the eliminated ones. if you havent been sending your weight each week then you are in the at home section.

    Thanks. Sorry for letting the team down, but I'm so exhausted with everything going on. At least the weight is still coming off due to running all over the place. How do I keep up and keep track at the home place?
