    I'm still in 100%. I'm trying my best with my food. My goal is to go to the gym every other day because I'm so busy. I'll send you my weigh this Sunday:-) I'm new so I'm not really fimilar with the site, so if you want me to read your message please send me the link. This way will save me time from navigating my way there.
    Have a GREAT DAY everyone.:-)

    Via Gary:

    AUGUST CHALLENGE: If you have bad knees here is an alternative for the ups and downs exercise. 100 Toe Touches. Stand up straight arms straight above your head. Take your right hand down and touch your left foot. Alternate the left hand to right foot. Stand up Straight that = 1. Do 100 of those and you are set for today.! PUSH YOURSELF TO DO MORE!!! Your big weigh in is right around the corner. Its crunch time people. You are stronger than you believe so go go go go!


    I don't have great knee's myself, but I'm totally trying these up & down's!

    Kicked the crap out of some crunches last night. Ended up doing more like 150 with the challenge + 30DS + working on my own. Keep up the great work SKINNYs!

    Hi Skinny's!

    MY ENTIRE BODY IS KILLING ME THIS AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I curse the ground those burpee's walk on! I pulled muscles in my back and my forearms are killing me! I think I did full burpee's instead of up & downs, becasue the video I saw on youtube last night showed a push-up once you were down, and I killed myself trying to do those! I couldn't do all w/push-ups, so I did toe touches. Now...infront of the PC, I see I didn't even HAVE to do the push up part!!! UGGG, well at least it was good for me! I weighed in this am with AWESOME results!!! SoOOOOOoOOOoOOoOOO happy with my weight this week! FINALLY!!!!!!!

    Hope everyone is still hanging in there! I really wish that amberluvesjohn and brihare would check in! I have nothing for them but their weights!

    Remember, by sunday I need all points in an in-box message.

    So it should look like this, i'll use mine for an example:

    Weight = 165.6 (3lb loss) = 3pts
    Daily excercise challenge = 6 pts (for all 6 days)
    Daily Team challenge = I did every day

    So if everyone gets 6 excercise points, and does the daily team challenge (water, calories) than we'll get 10 add'l team points!!!

    Please in-box me if you have any questions about your specific points. I'm only using mine for an example, but I want to keep everyone's private, so don't post points on this forum! you can also email me at tagrady@gmail.com if you prefer.


    EVERYONE PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU FOR BEING AWESOME TEAMMATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GO TEAM SKINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey, I just saw the new challenges for next week. I'll volunteer to do 10 of the 100 miles for the team next week, if you like.

    Oh, and I like keeping the same forum all throughout the challenge. MUCH easier to find that way...

    Thanks Kellie!!! 10 mile commitment is HUGE!!! I'm a terrible runner, so this will definately be a challenge! i'm going to commit for 5 on the elliptical.


    Also, We will most likely be welcoming 2 new members next week, so grab your welcome wagons! I still haven't heard from amberluvsjohn or brihare.

    Water was hard today... but I did it!
    Stayed under calories and did my squat lunges (and up-downs, just cause)
    also ran today for the first time in a week, my new sneakers felt good but when I got home my blister was back :(

    I guess I'm back to the stationary bike, walking and the elliptical this week :(

    Weigh in tomorrow!!

    Enjoy the day of rest Skinnys.
