Good challenges thank you
Good luck with your move!0 -
Thanks for the challenge - I have been slacking on my fruits and veggies....0

Due to my living situation we do not have living room furniture nor a living room. I am current;y living with my boyfriend at his mother's. We are paying all her bills due to the fact she has no job. She is a serious hoarder. I have just a bedroom with a bed that sits a lot higher than most. THe rest of the house is filled with junk and you strictly have paths to get to the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. Can I do my Jillian Michael's 6week 6 pack ab workout and count it for this each day instead. If not I have no choice but to fail this challenge.0

Sounds good. The fruit and veggie one is great. Not sure how I will do with the other challenge. I just started a boot camp this week and I can barely moves my arms right now....should be an interesting three months.0

Excellent! I need all the help I can get with Fruits and Veggies!0

Wow, 5 servings will be tough, right now I am thrilled that I am getting 3.
How many reps of each exercise would be done per circuit?? Just asking, as I did not see that on the video. Thanks.0 -
I found a list to help with portion sizes for the fruit & veg challenge...

Thanks for posting this, it's very helpful.0 -
Been doing really well with the fruits and veggies this week! Feeling great! I updated my weight on the spreadsheet today instead of tomorrow as I am going to visit my parents this weekend and I won't have my same scale ( so therefore I don't think it would be accurate).
Feeling good with a loss of 3.6 in the first 2 weeks!
YAY THIS CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I have already been practicing the fitness challenge... Just to make sure I could do it...
Yesterday was hell... I felt nauseous and I finally had to vomit... Not pretty...
Today? Fantastic!! I pushed it a little bit more and I kept going... Next step, doing the four sets exercises in their maximum and three times instead of twice...
As for fruit and veggies? No issues... But I'll have to really spread them through the day, as I can't eat a lot in one sitting (gastric bypass)... 0 -
sounds great!
on Monday I'm going back to school so I'm not sure whether I'll have time to do the exercise challenge everyday but I'll try to do my best! I can't see the video via my phone so I'll see it tomorrow when the internet will be paid anyway,I was just wondering how many times a day we should do it?once?twice?more..?
I also like the second part! Not sure again but the best I could do of course ^^ thanks for the link with the portion sizes!it's helpful
good luck everyone!0 -

Thank you so much for this site0 -
OK, my knee is really not happy with me at the moment and I don't want to push it so I am going to skip the exercise video challenge and instead do a repeat of last week's challenge (where I set myself a goal of 300 minutes of exercise and came up short due to an injured dog and work crisis). I'm still in for the fruit & veggie one though!0
-
Ahh, good challenges!! Looking forward to adding a different type of workout to my routine too. 0

I cruised during the first two weeks, but I'm finding this third challenge more challenging! I like that.
I am operating under the assumption that 1 portion = 1/2 cup.
Yesterday I succeeded. Today I got 4 portions in, but was too full to add the 1/2 cup I'm missing.
I haven't been able to do the exercise part of the challenge at all so far, which sucks. Hopefully tomorrow!0 -
Loving the fruit/veggie challenge. It really makes me aware of what I'm eating and I'm making better snack choices as a result! Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to stick with the exercise challenge. I did it Saturday and I found very do-able for me, but yesterday I had a bad asthma attack (allergy-induced) and I'm still feeling awful. My inhaler is almost out and I can't get a refill without a doctor appointment, and I couldn't get an appointment scheduled until 10/3. Taking it as easy as possible so I can hopefully avoid a $100 ER trip :frown:0

How do you all plan on logging your excercise video routine? Should it just be considered strength training (which I don't know why we don't get added calories for that) or calisthenics?0
-
Finally did the circuit, after forgetting for the last two days. All I can say is, I could barely do it one time through. My wrists are in a lot of pain and I am sort of winded....being out of shape really sucks.0
-
Having a tough time getting in 5 veggies and fruit. I upped my veggies to 2 - 3 servings per day this month and am getting that in. Will keep trying.
The exercise is hard on the arms, but am plugging away and getting in at least one rep per day along with the other exercise I am doing.
Hope everyone else is doing well.0
