Thank you, everyone, for your commitment to this challenge! This last week was a rough one. As a group, we gained weight this week. I know that doesn't sound positive, but it does mean we have plenty of room for great losses this week!! Good luck to everyone, and congrats to 2muchchocncrisps for dominating last week!

Hi everyone!
I am back from 3 weeks vacation, and had such a good time. I went trekking on the Kungsleden ("King's Path") in Northern Sweden. The landscape is just awesome, the weather was okay - many clouds but only few short rainshowers in the first week, ideal for hiking, and sunshine for the second week, but then it was almost too hot for hiking... Nevertheless, surely better than rain all the time!
I had hoped that I would lose some weight, since I was hiking all the time with the heavy backpack, but I didn't - too much unhealthy food... But if you have to carry all your food for 2 weeks, you pack according to the weight of the food and not your own... So I can't see cereal and milk powder anymore, and I sure enjoyed my first meal which was not prepacked noodles, rice or couscous. I think I will go mainly for salads and fruits in the next week :laugh:
I think I lost some inches, there is a jeans which fits much better now, so I have to take measures tomorrow morning :-)
How have you been doing? How is the challenge? I will join in the following week once again! 0 -
Welcome back! Sounds like a wonderful time.
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days = 1 lbs advantage - 6 of 7

I am so sorry for the delay! It seems that I don't have time this week to come up with new challenges, so let's repeat the challenges from last week. I know that is not the ideal situation, but I'm just too busy at the moment. I hope all is well with everyone!

We have another heat wave here and it has about 30 °C (about 86 F) in my apartment - I don't feel very motivated to do some planks or burpees right now... maybe tomorrow morning when it is cooler outside and I can open the balcony doors.
For Thursday they forecast that we will have 40 °C for the first time ever in Austria (that's about 104 °F)... Work looks really good this week, because we are lucky and have air condition in our office building.0 -
Wow! 40 degrees sounds very uncomfortable and not at all helpful to exercise in! Air conditioned office does seem an attractive alternative.
I am glad to have a repeat of the challenges- I need to try harder with some, although the Burpees are not going to happen as the foot is still not right and liable to further damage. Should manage the exercise and miles targets and shall be trying to do over the minute planks starting tonight to catch up.
Looking at the spreadsheet there are some good losses posted this week although many people have yet to fill in their
Weights.
Keep calm and carry on losing weight!0 -
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days = 1 lbs advantage - 1 of 7
2. Walk or run at least 7 miles this week = 1 lbs advantage - 1.94 miles today

We had one night of rain to finally cool things off but not before BC broke a few heat records. Most consecutive days without rain and highest temp for a whole month (July). We are back to the gruelling sunshine but I'm not complaining...love going to the beach after work or late night walks when the sun is setting - much better then our months of rain. I have been out hiking with the boys all week, finding new trails and then jumping into the river or ocean to cool off...it's been a great week. Oh I haven't lost any weight (actually put on some) but I have lost another 1.5 inches so I'm counting it as a win
looking forward to stand-up paddle boarding lessons on the weekend - too bad one of our challenges this week wasn't "try something new" :glasses:0 -
Hi team,
Progress post = getting there!
3 days exercise, 4.5 miles walked, 3 minutes of plank - not elegant or without shaking but done! 2nd post.
Will do 30ds L1 again tonight as finally getting the hang of it and not taking breaks!!0 -
It is still hot here, so I just do some walking, mainly in the morning when it is still a little bit cooler. I leave the other things for when the heat is over (should be tomorrow or Saturday...)
(And my planks won't be elegant, neither!)
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days: 3 / 7
2. Walk or run at least 7 miles this week: 9.3 / 7
3. Complete at least 70 burpees this week: 0 / 70
4. Plank hold for at least 7 minutes this week: 0 / 7
5. Post on the discussion board at least 5 times this week: 2 / 5
Major NSV this morning: since I thought that some trousers fit better now than before my vacation, I finally measured myself, and found that I lost 24 cm (about 9.4 inches) since the start of June!! :noway:
I had to measure myself twice before I actually believed it. Biggest losses were in the hips, waist and upper thighs, so the hiking did pay off! :bigsmile:
Now I am sitting at work with a big smile and it is going to be a great day despite the heat.0 -
Hello team!
How is everybody doing this week?
I'm on target for completing this weeks challenges except the Burpees ! Had X-ray to see if I have a stress fracture in my foot. Hopefully then I can get some treatment and resume doing some more cardio.
Meanwhile I'm continuing to walk the dog and attempting most of the 30ds L1 Extra calories burned today from line dancing which was fun but left me with foot pain.
Hope you all have a good weekend0 -
Sorry, it's me again!
I hope I haven't offended anyone? Feeling a little lonely here on the team forum.
Anyhow not much to report..... 3 mile walk today, fresh air by the water and appreciating slightly cooler weather.
Tomorrow more home based exercise and a day catching up on housework (yawn)0 -
Sorry for being absent... Not so much to rerport from my side, either.
I am still walking around, haven't yet motivated myself to do more (sadly, that includes also burpees and planks - I am going to fail in this category). It is still hot, although not so bad as before, and I still have trouble to get enough sleep - maybe that contributes to my being so lazy...
I hope you are doing better than me!0 -
It's me again! Nice walk this morning and a couple of planks! But that is about it! Not sure whether the whole challenge is losing momentum with so few posts here, or everyone is on holiday and certainly won't want to be concerned with their weight.
I am still logging and finding that I at least check the food labels and choose lower calorie options, the only problem being that I might be eating too much! Shall find out tomorrow.....as well as finding out if I do have a stress fracture!
Keep going team!0 -
Good morning everybody!
First night that I slept without waking up every few hours due to the heat. it has finally cooled down during the night so that I could keep the window open. So i felt much more awake in the morning and decided to walk the whole way to work - it was sunny but comparatively cool, just right for a long walk.
Weigh-in was no surprise, i didn't lose, but I expected it because I did not workout much last week, and went way over the line on Saturday (don't ask!). But this week is going to be better.
2much - good that you will finally know what it is, although I hope it is not a fracture!
Thanks for your motivating posts this week!

New Challenges!
Again, sorry for the delay! Life has been crazy, and I really do apologize. I am so lucky to have such a dedicated group of women participating who have kept this discussion board going. Here are this week's challenges!
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days = 1 lbs advantage

3. Complete at least 200 push-ups this week = 1 lbs advantage

200 push-ups! :noway: I will have to start right away...
0 -
Thanks for the new challenges - looks like a had better get on with the 30ds and that will count towards the crunches and push ups! Have problems getting that water down so I'm off to fill my litre bottle now.......
Good luck everybody, I need to be a bit stricter this week cos the scale didn't move.0 -
I need to be a bit stricter this week cos the scale didn't move.
Me too!
And this weekend I am with my parents, big family birthday celebration (they all have their birthday around August/September), so I will have to work hard to not gain anything.0 -
Holiday today in Austria - enjoyed it, although I spent the whole day (again) before the computer, sorting and photoshopping the pictures from my vacation. Photography is a hobby of mine, so I tend to be a perfectionist about it ;-)
And since my parents want to see them this weekend, and I would never show the raw images (perfectionist...), I had to finish them today.
How is the challenge going for you all?
1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days = 1 lbs advantage: 3/4
2. Complete at least 200 crunches of any kind this week = 1 lbs advantage: 150/200
3. Complete at least 200 push-ups this week = 1 lbs advantage: 150/200
4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day this week = 1 lbs advantage: done so far
5. Eat your 5-a-Day fruits/veggies for at least 5 of 7 days this week = 1 lbs advantage: 4/5 done0 -
I am with my family this weekend, posting from my mobile phone, so just a short update.
I did not log my food the last days, but I kept on walking and doing the crunches and pushups, so I am good with the challenge. Weigh in will be on Tuesday when I am back at my home.
I hope you all have a great weekend! Keep posting here how you are doing.0
