May is upon us and summer is knocking on our door...
What it brings are bikinis and shorts!!! In 30 days, we NEED to shed that outer layer. I am not talking about a winter coat either!!!:bigsmile:
What will you find underneath?:noway:

So, you've go to make some time to time to Move it! Shake it! Jiggle it! Wiggle it! Bump it! Thump it! Stomp it! Womp it!!

1) WE ARE NOT going to be mushy
2) Our thighs WILL NOT rub together when we walk
3) WE WILL make our goals this week
4) Things WILL NOT jiggle unless we are dancing and we want them to :smokin:

The goals are:

1) 360 minutes of moving...it doesn't matter what kind you do or how you break it up

you can wash walls......do videos......walk your neighbors dog...... just get busy!!!

Point is to keep moving and doing something

- or -

2) Burn 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor

OK, who's in for Week #1, if at first you don't succeed, you keep trying...just keep coming back and reporting progress or non-progess...it doesn't matter...it keeps us accountable and that's how we commit to healthy lifestyles

    I will join! I will probably be able to achieve the 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor rather than the 360 minutes per week. I do about 280 minutes of exercise per week, but I am usually burning around 10 calories per minute so I think I can do it!

    Should we check in each day or each week with our minutes/calories?

    I am starting the 2nd Round, Fit-n-Trim to Win Elimination Contest

    Losing team will eliminate one person with the lowest percentage of body weight.

    The person with the highest percentage of weight loss gets an advantage for the next week. This will have some twists as the weeks go on. The advantages will include immunity; weight advantage and disadvantage, trading players. This might not be for you if your feelings get hurt easily; or, you hate losing; or, you have low self-esteem. This is supposed to be fun and good natured.

    Criteria to enter:
    1) You need to lose 20 or more pounds
    2) You have a digital scale
    3) You have a digital camera
    4) You can weigh in any day of the week (weekdays & weekends)

    If you want in, PM me and I will send all the information....
