Hello team!!! :flowerforyou:0

Well hello white team! I am so ready to rock this challenge. I am in need of a major change and can't to do it with a team of fabulous ladies! I have already loss 35 pounds since Feb 4th but have plenty left to go. I walk daily and my job keeps me moving all day long. I have been doing zumba but haven't gone in two weeks. I will post pictures tonight after I take them. I wish I would have taken them from the beginning but I still have 81.5 to go so I think I still have some time to see change :P Can't wait to cheer our team on and to be cheered on by you! Have a great week and think skinny!0

Welcome guys! I look forward to doing this challenge with you.
Hey team - so I had a whole lot of info to gather for the challenges this week. Next week, could we please try to post what we are doing on here or send me a private msg? Also, if you would like you could open up your diaries and that would make it a little easier for me to track what you are doing so I won't have to nag at ya. hahaha0 -
Like what information are you wanting us to send. I am more than happy to private message or post I just need to know what.0
-
okay another question... do I need to journal my workouts in MFP... I use a different app for that but if I need to for competition I will.0
-
Okay not sure if this counts but I have not ran EVER in my life! And I feel like I did a pretty rocking job for a first time
Does this count as my 1 session of something new? 0 -
Hey tirrelogston - i sent you a FR and private msg yesterday listing what I needed.
I need your weight (weigh-ins are sun)
I need to know how many days out of 7 you drank 8 or more cups of water
how many days you exercised out of 7
and how many squats did you do this week.0 -
I got the FR but no PM. Sorry about that.0
-
No prob - This is week to get all the kinks worked out
0 -
So I did my 8+ glasses of water. I worked out. I ate fish. I posted a recipe. All I have is squats and I am dragging my feet to go do it. I get no burn from it. Even when I hold it I don't really feel anything and I asked some one to check my form. I think the problem is this is something I do for HOURS at work and I have already gotten very use to them. So now it bores me. Lame excuse I know. I almost feel like busting out the 300 tonight so I can forget it the rest of the week. Yes again I know thats lame
All in all however I feel it was a very productive day.
PS lovelyrose11 I believe I opened my journal up. I was checking out yours and tried to make sure I was adding everything (workout and water). I have a bodymedia arm band and don't normal keep track of workouts because it keeps my daily calorie count for me. And the water thing. I way over drink on my water and eventually lose track. I have my 8 glass done by 9 every morning and drink all day long! Oh and my weigh ins are done on my withing scale so there is no cheating there 0 -
Thanks for opening up the diary! Looking forward to a great week. I've been having issues juggling school work and working out lately. But, I'll get it done somehow. LOL0

Happy weekend everyone! Anyone got any fun healthy plans this weekend? I am going to take my 5 year old for a bike ride today. I haven't pulled his trainer in like 2 years.... Should be a great workout!0
-
Never been so frustrated and so happy at the same time. I had a gain today BUT my body fat has dropped again! So I have to be gaining muscle mass. I am down to 89 lbs fat. Still makes me sad to not have a loss on the scale.0
-
I know that can be really frustrating but just look at how far you have come! Your BF is changing and you are making great progress!0
-
I completed all of this weeks challenges! My new thing that I haven't done in a long time is dancing. I was behind on my squats for the week so I finished them all up yesterday so today I am so sore!! I'm glad even with my personal difficulties this week I still lost 3 pounds!!0
-
3 lbs is an amazing loss!!! You rocked the challenge this week as well. For me - i am behind on my working out. We had a major family issue this and I was in and out of town. Luckily I still managed to lose 2.2 lbs. I know weigh 189.2..THE 180S!!!!!!!! I am determined to get on youtube this week and try something new out!!!!0
-
Hey lovelyrose11, what information do you need to know for this week? Same as last week? Weight, water consumption, squats, etc.? I've been trying to keep the spreadsheet updated with all of my information as I complete tasks so you have less work to do. Hope you had a good weekend!0

Hi lovelies,
Wow what a commitment from all of you !!! I am so pleased with your efforts I hope you will like this week's challenges .
This is our second week challenge !!!! Have fun and get healthy!
There is lbs reward for each part of this challenge
max 7 lbs
Exercise
1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!
sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, DVD , Gym etc.
(moderate cleaning doesn't count
!!! )
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed to do at least 4 sessions!!!
2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice for 30 min session at least!!! I know its getting harder to come up with something new :-)) ... so don't worry too much it can be anything interesting unusual - special you would like to share :-))
If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ... I found out trampoline extremely hard in 0 challenge :-) and since I went to work last week I repeated it 2x and love it :-))
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed
3.
so this week we will concentrate on abs!!! And main challenge Bicycle Crunch.
How to Properly do a Bicycle Crunch
Lie on your back on a mat with knees bent, feet on the floor, and hands behind your head (don’t clasp your fingers). Press your lower back into the mat and tighten your ab muscles as you lift your head, shoulders, and upper back off the floor and simultaneously move your right elbow and left knee toward each other while straightening your right leg (don’t let it touch the ground).
Draw your right knee back up and immediately move your left elbow and right knee toward each other while straightening your left leg; that’s one rep. Continue to move continuously, as if pedaling a bicycle. Do 3 sets of 15 reps 3 times a week. (so 135 )
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed 2 lbs for most Bicycle Crunches - BUT DON'T OVER DO IT!!!
<b> And we please keep doing squats - why to have abs to kill for without nice booty :-)</b>
so Best Butt Exercises For Women: Squats
Squats are one of the best butt exercises you can do to build a nice round booty and sexy legs. Make sure you keep your abs tight, back straight, weight on heels, and sit your butt back. - there is only 140 to do - try to spread them in at least 3 days!! but of course if you can and want do more . (There is no advantage lbs for squats this week.)
4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.
5. For the WEEK 2 FOOD challenge, I thought we might still keep it BASIC ( I think we will always keep it basic ) ! Let's take this week to focus on breakfast and cooking - preparing breakfast - let other inspire you with their choices and recipes ! I know from looking into diaries - there is so many of you skipping it , but girls (as far as I know we don't have a man in our challenge) come on this is not good for us.
there is NO excuse girls and having 7x a week breakfast is the only way to get 1 lbs advantage (sorry there is only medical excuse not to have a breakfast - please let me know if you need exception)
Keep drinking water - even if it is not our topic!!! I hope you picked up some good tips. I hope you got inspired with fish recipes and will keep eating 2x a week fish or other meals that include omega-3 fatty acids as a highlight
cooking challenge

We had some nice losses this week! Although there is one member that I couldn't seem to get a hold of so I guess her weight won't count for us. I did get her challenge info, she just wouldn't respond to me with her weight.0

Team - i am sorry to do this but I have to back out as team captain and out of this challenge. I don't wanna get too personal but one of my children is experiencing health issues that is now consuming a lot of my time. It would be unfair to the group if I stayed on. I hope everyone understands. Good luck white team!0
