    Ok...well I guess I'm pretty slow...just now reading this thread :/ So I've already screwed up the first day of the challenge. *sigh* I promise to do better tomorrow. :)

    You definatly didn't screw up! Lots of people haven't seen the mini challenge, anyway it's 3500 over the whole week, you could still do it!?

    Altho I am wondering if this week it's still 3500 as it's technically only 5 days? I'll go ask on the other thread!

    Hmmm NSV for me is that I am happy with how I look in a bikini now, and things can only get better on that front!

    Looks like there are loads of REDs doing 30DS. I've just completed L2D2. Ouch!

    How are you all doing? I'm always looking for friends for encouragement and support - feel free to add me.

    Let's show August who's the boss...RED!!!

    What's everyone's most recent NSV?? (nsv = non-scale victory) I'll go first:

    I had to downsize my wedding ring about a month and a half ago because it was practically falling off my finger and my husband didn't want me wearing it on a different finger. It's getting too big again so it's back on my middle finger again. :happy:

    Jana, that's an excellent NSV.

    I started as a tight 14 ( really should have been a 16, but REFUSED to buy that size) Now I am in a 10-12 depending on brand. LOVE when the inches fall off

    I didn't know about the 500 a day calorie burn, but I will get on it starting today. I only burned 404 yesterday.

    GO TEAM RED!!

    Maybe I'm completely out of the loop [I'm going to use the excuse that I'm new here...lol], but I have no clue what 30DS means or L2D2. Could someone enlighten me?? Thanks!

    30DS is short for the workout video 30 Day Shred. L2D2 would stand for level 2, day 2....I think. Never done it myself.

    Hey reds!!

    MY latest NSV is that today, my housemate offered me a hobnob. And I said no! This is big news because they are my favourite biscuits EVER, and you can't get them here in Thailand. Usually I would have bitten her hand off, but I restrained myself. Am very proud!!

    oooh I love the name spartans!!!

    loving the challenge, (and so do my dogs) they got an extra half an hour on their walk today to help bump up the total.

    My latest NSVs

    ...running a 5k

    or....all the clothes I used to wear (when I was 18) fitting again or being too big...downside is all my old clothes and lots of the new ones (especially the ones I love) are all too big...really need to work out how to take some of my more favourite clothes in! Don't think it's feasible to pay someone to tailor them for me coz it'd cost too much!

    oh...or buying a size medium in New Look, and size UK12 in Next (YAY)

    I will find different ways to burn those 500 calories and this one I like.

    I missed yesterday too and am 65 calories short plus I'm only at 388 today and I'm shattered. So I still have about 150 calories to burn today. I guess I'd better get on that exercise bike :-(

    Hi Fellow Spartans!

    I'm super excited to be a part of this challenge. I am also doing another mommy challenge which I LOVE, but I think this will give me even more motivation... Couldn't hurt anything, right?:tongue:

    I love being healthy & fit, and love the support network that MFP offers. If anyone would like some extra support/encouragement feel free to send me a friend request w/ a message so I know you're from my team :wink:

    The mini-challenge of burning 500 calories daily will be perfect to take everyone's weight loss to the next level. I do not intend on eating my exercise calories back, but I never really do:blushing: My personal stance on that subject is to eat more calories (~100-200cal) if you start to feel hungry or tired all the time. If you feel great, you're probably fine - your body will definitely let you know if it needs more food... I am also nursing my 8-month old, so I am sure to eat enough calories to keep up my milk supply.

    My recent NSVs:

    -being able to run a 5k (I'm in the Navy) with absolutely no warning b/c I am in good physical shape now
    -having tons of coworkers ask me how I was able to lose all my baby weight & tell me how great I look
    -having the clothes that I just bought before the Summer started (size 6/8) fit loose when I put them on now

    I hope everyone is having a great day! I'm looking forward to seeing lots of progress at our our first weigh-in Friday - Go SPARTANS!:bigsmile:

    LOVE it that you're not too prideful to do Zumba! So many guys think it's just for girls and they are SO wrong. What they don't know is that the founder of Zumba is a guy!! Beto ROCKS! Good for you!!!

    Go team RED!!

    My weigh in days are Tuesdays so she just told me to keep doing that and she will post it on Friday. Only 0.8 this week. Kind of bummed but hopefully will kick it next week. Burned 500+ calories last night at Zumba but work late tonight. Need to do something. Might go run up some stairs before my lunch break is over.

    Keep rocking it RED team!

    507 cals burned today, woo! 3DS day 7, Jogging with weights and walking!

    My NSVs are getting to day 7 of 3DS! Buying 2 size 12 (UK) tops this week! And bumping into a friend earlier who said she didn't recognise me for a moment because 'you looked too skinny!'

    It's good because the scales are not being kind this week so in need of NSVs!!
