    Day 1: 372
    Day 2: 658

    Day 3: 160 (better than nothing!)

    Total: 1190

    Must must must climb all 23 flights today, as no stairs at the weekend!

    Day 4: 572
    Day 5: 81
    Day 6: 193

    No stairs or steps at home, so made use of the ones in the cinema and shops this weekend, so not as many as the days when I can charge up the fire escape at work without people staring and watching me sweat!

    Total: 2036

    Not bad for an arthritic old bat :wink:

    As I'm in the UK what time/date do we weigh in by? Also, as I only got this challenge late on Monday, if I do stairs tomorrow will they count?

    Keep up the good work everyone, you're all doing so well. Go team Melee!

    I got 300 done yesterday so my count is.

    Tues // 1000
    Weds // 95
    Thurs // 1000
    Fri // 300
    Sat // 1200
    Total // 3595

    And I've lost 4 lbs this week! Whoo! Hopefully I won't gain it back in the next two days though since I haven't been able to get to the gym the past few days >.< Although I'm wondering if this is too much to lose. I mean my BMI is on the verge of obese at 194lbs for 5'6-5'7 but that is a lot of weight to lose in one week. I have it set up at 1400 calories per day but I don't really restrict what I eat. If I'm hungry then I eat what I want and by just tracking my calories it encourages me to be more aware and make better choices. I also don't really eat back much of my exercise calories (sometimes I will because my body is hungry or something looks ultra yummy) because I seem to not lose anything or I get obsessed about it. If my body asks then it receives. I'm just a bit worried since I've been reading so much stuff people have said on here. What do you guys do exactly and how has it worked for you?

    4lbs is quite a lot to lose at your weight, but how long have you been on your new routine for? If it's quite new for you it could be water weight. If you're not going under about 1300 I wouldn't worry, just keep an eye out to make sure you are getting the right nutrients (including *some* fats, carbs, etc, as your body needs them, especially when you're doing a lot of physical activity)

    You're doing so well though, I'm really impressed!

    Thanks! =] I have been working out since around April but had to stop unfortunately just before June began due to Achilles tendonitis. I tried to continue with my strength training and dieting but then I began to stress out about eating under my calories so much that I wasn't having fun. So then I cut it out pretty much for all of June. I joined MFP under a different account forJupiter back when I started but decided it might be better just to start fresh and made a new account (this one here) and post up a challenge that I had been thinking about doing since I started MFP (so this challenge). So I'm not really certain where I fit into the idea of being new at this or not haha. But I pretty much wasn't all that active during my break so I guess it could be that my body got use to being lazy again. I didn't really think of that too much, thanks. It just really threw me off because last time when I started up I could not make the scale budge for about a month.

    So sorry I haven't been around!
    I was on vacation for the last week with no internet access.

    I'm on for whatever challenges come up this week, and I'll try to do a ton of stairs today, too!! [:

    Everyone has been doing great! I'm so proud of you all. Even if we don't end up winning this challenge then we'll stop them in the next. I'm figuring out our totals right now to see where we are and then I'll post it.

    Hush7hush: That's fine. Thanks for coming back! You were on my list of people to message asking who was still in the challenge and who was out. Glad your back though. =]

    I've been saying that you can post it on the thread and then I will organize everything and send it off to mrtentaclenun but if you're cutting it close to 9p EST then please just PM your weight to mrtentaclenun.

    And thanks guys for getting back on this so quickly!

    CowboyKid - I didn't do Tuesday because it was announced very late Tuesday night in NZ and other NZers mentioned they were just going to be a day behind because of it. I figured I'd do today instead but if not I don't have a score for Tuesday.

    That's perfectly fine and you can do today (it was my mess up anyways for not getting it to you kiddies in NZ). I just wanted to make sure everything is correct and whatnot.
