Kinda wishing this coming weeks challenge was for last week, in this weekend alone I walked for a total of 6hrs! Won't get in that much again this week, but I do at least a half hour everyday anyways so I really like this being the challenge

NewMe80-Are you also keeping track of your measurements? Keep in mind that not all gains are really gains. Muscle weighs more than fat, so with working out you could be building more muscle tone adding on the weight. You'd need to eat 3200[approximately] more calories than you burn off to gain 1lb. Measurements of your body is a great tool to do with weight loss. I know on weeks that I have a smaller loss [this past week] I can resort back to my measurements and see if I see a loss there, which in this case I lost an inch off of my waist, arms, legs etc. Keeps you from feeling down about not seeing a loss on the scale.

Svey9480-I'm in another group on here and the women in it that have hit plateaus before Swear on eating 2-300 more calories than what you're suppose to. Keeps your metabolism guessing and starts the weight loss again. The plateau is your body getting used to doing the same ole same and with the taking in a few extra calories it switches it up and gets you losing again. One of the girls that tried this method had stalled for several weeks in her weight loss journey. Upped her calorie intake and started dropping again [2-3lbs a week] Just keep in mind if you hit a plateau we're all here for you, we'll work together to get you through it, find ways to get ya rolling again, and celebrate with you when you do!!

Ok I'm going to shut up now lol

I drank way way to much this weekend. I know I said that last weekend (and realize that this probably makes me sound like a lush, which I really am not) but this weekend was really awful calorie-wise. I suppose I did get a bit of exercising walking from bar to bar and dancing though. And at one point my friend and I were running and slamming our bodies into the vending machine at our hotel (more her than me though) but I did not eat said vending machine snacks! Well ok maybe like 2 or 3 combos, but I passed on m&ms, snickers and cheez-its.

I did pretty decent during the week with the challenge, though I have no idea have you guys keep track of your ounces. I constantly refill my bottle whether it is empty or not so it hard to tell. did not do so well with the water fri - sun though. I usually do the eliptical for my cardio, so that technically counts as walking, right?

Tonight is my weekly weigh-in, so here's to hoping this weekend didn't totally destroy me.

Monday: 30 minutes - 1 day down That felt so good!

Monday: 30 min (took two 15 minute breaks at work and walked up and down a hill outside, it's HOT in Georgia!)

Found a Curves near my hotel and went in tonight after work. The one at home is run by older women. The trainer at the one I went to today saw me marching in place to keep my heart rate up between machines. She asked, "Has anyone ever shown you alterative exercises to do between machines?" No one ever had so whe proceeded to KICK MY BUTT for the next 30 min. There were seriously times I thought I wouldn't be able to continue but I'm glad I stuck with it. I guarantee I burned at least 100 calories more than I usually do and I feel fantastic. I hope I can get out of work early enough tomorrow to go work out with her again.

Challenge: Walk 30 minutes each day (Challenge sent in by JACQUE509)

Monday: 33 minute walk, about 1.2 miles

30 minutes on eliptical yesterday. Wish I had more time for cardio. By the time I get off work and get to the gym it's right at 6. I do about 30 minutes of cardio and an hour or so strength training and abs. When I get home it's close to or right at 8 and though I know you really should eat late, I really don't have any other option and try not to eat too heavy, this resulted in less than 600 calories yesterday. I know I should have ate more during the day, but I wasn't really hungry and was kinda busy.

I suppose I could go for a walk on my lunch hour, but I am just not a fan of getting all sweaty (and I will cause sometimes it's hot as hades and I don't really feel like I'm doing enough unless I sweat) when I know I have to go back and put on my nice work clothes afterwards. And I suppose I could get up earlier and at least use the eliptcal that is right in my room, that I never use (who's bright idea to put the eliptical next to the bed?) but, well, mornings and I aren't exactly bffs and I always set my alarm way earlier thinking that maybe one day I will actually do this and then I hit snooze like 8 times. :grumble:

Monday - 45 minutes of walking
