Ok, we are starting on week 6. Good for you Dorie for hanging in there! You are a great inspiration!
So the mini-challenge for week 6 is to do what we have been doing. 100 sit-ups per day and add one challenge of your own.
Mine is the NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING! You must accomplish both to give yourself a "YES"
So for me:
2/17/12 - 100 sit-ups and no late night snacking.
F- I will be back to report!

Okay, I am going to make it tough on myself this week -- I want to see over 1 pound lost this week!!! I won't be able to report til the next day though to get my full day calorie burn recorded (it's from midnight to midnight) from my body media.
For me:
2/17/12 - 100 sit-ups and have a 700 calorie deficit
F- I will be back to report!0 -
2/17/12
100 sit-ups and have a 700 calorie deficit
F- YES!0 -
Wow good for you!!! How did you get the 700 calories def.? Do you count your basal burn in that?0
-
I have a bodymedia which tells me how many calories I burn for the entire day -- this includes everything. Then I just subtract my food from that and that is my deficit. To lose 1 pound a week you need to have an average of 500 calories a day (3500 calories a week) for 1.5 pounds a week it is an average of 750 calories a day (5250 a week).
Fri- YES
Sat- YES0 -
I haven't been doing good with this at all. I need to get started on the sit-ups and then keep doing them into the weekend. Starting anything new on the weekend is difficult for me for some reason!0

Dorie, you did amazing! I cant wait to see your results with weightloss this week!!! Me on the other hand.... will get better.
This week's new challenge is to have at least one meal with all of the food groups in it. Is that Dorie?0 -
Yes -- at least one balanced meal with Protein, starch, fruits/veggies, and a fat. If you eat low carb just do what fits into your plan. We can post what that meal was so it can give others new ideas for meals.0
