    This week wasn't so bad but I still gained weight. Maybe I could blame it on my slow metabolism or it being a woman's favorite time of the month but without going over my calories for more than 2 days and working out for only 3 days-- I somehow managed to gain 1.5 lbs.

    So...


    WEIGHT WEEK 1: 167
    WEIGHT WEEK 2: 163.5
    AIM FOR WEEK 3: 165
    WHETHER YOU MANAGED TO DO 50 EXTRA SIT UPS PER DAY IN WEEK 2. No, I am blaming this failure on the above reason. However I am looking forward to losing this weight and then some.

    Next week's goal back to 163.5 or dare I say 162.5

    SW: 148

    C.W.: 146.5 :)

    Week 1 Goal: 147, Actual: 147 (-1.0), Challenge Not met: Had a little bit of chocolate, but I burned off the chocolate calories by exercising.
    Week 2 Goal: 146, Actual: 146.5 (-.5 ) , Challenge Met: I didn't do 50 crunches daily, but I did make up for it when I did over 200 sits up at the gym.

    Week 3 Goal: 145 & to also actually complete a challenge!

    I am enjoying all the different Christmas challenges :)

    Good luck everyone on the challenge this week. :)

    WEIGHT WEEK 1: 171+> 168.6 Passed! Goal was 169.9
    WEIGHT WEEK 2: 168.6 Had to lose all the water weight from a Vodka Infested wedding :indifferent: Failed
    AIM FOR WEEK 3: 167.9
    WHETHER YOU MANAGED TO DO 50 EXTRA SIT UPS PER DAY IN WEEK 2: Missed 2 Days I think but did extras others days- might have equaled out... The fiancee did comment on the better looking tummy though- and that was awesome!

    I'm going to try a different P90x dvd this week. In addition this weekend I will start my "slow and steady burn" aka cardio for 45 minutes+(running, walking uphill, stairclimber on a sustainable level, etc). Goal is 3 miles/day 4 times a week for the next 4 weeks (50 miles in October).

    Proud of you ladies!:wink:

    Firstly, bikinimission, I hope you are doing okay and feeling better after your car accident. *hugs*


    WEIGHT WEEK 1: 134.2
    WEIGHT WEEK 2: 133.2 (Yay, I'm happy for 1 pound since I am at my last 10 and its so hard to get the scale to move!)
    AIM FOR WEEK 3: 132.2
    WHETHER YOU MANAGED TO DO 50 EXTRA SIT UPS PER DAY IN WEEK 2.
    I was sick all week with a fever and strep throat, so I just started doing the 50 situps a few days ago. I will continue doing 50 situps until I reach my goal since I love it, and its quick and easy! I eventually want to get up to 100 crunches a day and that is my goal for next week as well!

    For this weeks challenge, I actually found my old Bodies in Motion DVD yesterday while I was doing my crunches, so I will do that every day for a week, in addition to my 45 mins of cardio a day.

    I havent yet seen 132 since I gained this weight so here hoping that my efforts this week and rewarded next weigh in!

    My week 2 went horribly wrong i'm afraid :cry: I've stayed the same weight, and was unable to do my sit ups due to back problems... turns out I've dislodged a vertebrae and damaged the ligaments :ohwell:

    Hello! Love the enthusiasm again for this weeks challenge! I missed bodypump last night as I was too late getting out of work so I'm hoping to go tomorrow.

    Just to clarify, the challenges run from each Wednesday to the following Tuesday night. The new challenges are posted on Tuesday ready for the Wednesday start!!

    emkam11 you can do any exercise you like for as long as you like, you can do it once or every day - the point is just to give something that you wouldnt usually do a go :)

    lesley1981 so sorry to hear about your back, hope you're not too sore and that you're taking things easy.
