    Can I ask does anyone do the wii zumba game here? I'm not sure how to track it and I've been putting it as dancing general, any suggestions welcome :-)

    Yay for burpees ! That's until I actually start doing them lol
    Since I did 40 minutes of cardio and a 2.5 mile walk I think I will do them tonight!
    Oh & I lost a 1lb who hoo I was going crazy when we had weigh in & I had gained instead of lost.

    Hey,

    sorry my scales decided to break themselves over the weekend so had to venture out and get a new one.

    Even though I drank all my water, busted my butt and ate as clean as possible it was a stay the same for the week. Unfortunately TOM did rear it's ugly head so thinking it is probably just water retention and that I will take it all off by the end of this week. Will let you know on Sunday :)

    Oh.. one last thing... how do we track them in our exercise diary??? How many calories are burned, do you think??

    Huh I didn't even think of that :) good point, anyone know the answer?

    From what I could gather from the article that I read, they will be tracked in the strength area opposed to the cardio area. They do burn calories, but we won't be doing them long enough to record the calories burned.

    Hey I was wondering if someone would be able to inbox me the code for the "Christmas countdown challenge" that has the green box around it.

    Also, how do you make those thingos that are like tickers some of you guys have, that you put your BMI on the top, etc.?

    Thanks Jen! Can I make a small suggestion? Can we go back to regular font? The swirly is kind of hard to read.

    I agree

    Got 10 burpees in today!! I alternated between doing an easy one and doing the more difficult ones with the pushups, so I did 5 of each! I'm hoping by the end of the week I'll be able to do 10 of the pushup ones at a time!! Great challenge Jenn!

    I love using feta cheese on my salads!! One of my favorite snacks is weight watcher cheese strings. They are only 50 calories and they taste really good!

    I've never heard of a burpee either! I'll have to give 'em a try.

    Hate to be a drag, but would someone mind posting one more time the CCC signature? NOW I see where I can just click "Signature" at the top...:huh:

    Can someone post it for me too, thanks in advance :)

    Well even though it won't sound like much to some of you I was able to do 2 burpees this morning and 2 tonight. But I really feel like I accomplished something doing them. No they weren't pretty and yes they were the beginner ones but at least I tried!!
    I'm gonna try to increase by 1 each day.:smile:
