    From last Friday, down 4.0 lbs...from Aug 1st, down 1.7. Not sure which one I was meant to track, so there's them both.

    This means it is pizza day today, right? ....right? >.>

    7 lbs?!?!?! WOAH! How did you do it?
  • My starting weight as of Friday 7/29 was 133.
    Today, Friday, 8/5, it's 130.7 ! That's 2.3 gone! (Mother nature helped with that. :) gotta love her! :)

    As far as the 500/day.... *sigh* I must go to the back of the line... I've done my exercises, etc., and I'm sure I could've stepped it up several notches, but I had no way to measure how many calories I was actually burning. My Polar FT4 has been shipped! Any day now it'll be here & I promise to be a better participant.

    :)HAPPY FRIDAY, MFPs!

    As for the calorie burn challenge, it was a fail for me this week.

    I am confused. originally the challenge said burn an "extra 500 calories/day"...extra meaning in addition to what you already do? Or 500 TOTAL for the day, for a TOTAL weekly caloric burn of 3500?

    great job everyone!!!

    if you lost weight, AWESOME!!! if you didn't lose no worries, just stick to it, remember to drink lots of water, eat enough calories and make every workout count!

    i've lost 2.2.
    sw (7/29) - 205.7
    today (8/05) - 203.5

    and i've burned 3058 calories mon-thurs, so i still have a couple days to burn at least an additional 1000 calories :)

    not sure. if it was an additional 500 calories/day then it was an epic fail for me. but if it was just to do a minimum of 500 a day then i did pretty good :)
  • what does SW mean? i can figure out the others but i can't figure that one out....:ohwell:

    I seriously hope its not an extra 500 a day on top of what we're already doing.:noway:

    calories mon-thurs= 2,439
    HW= 200
    SW= 197
    CW 8/5= 190

    whats the weekly challenge anyway?
  • I do not have my weight this week because I still haven't got a scale. I failed my team this week. :(
    The only thing I do have is my calories burned...
    I wasn't sure if we are counting from 7/29 or 8/1
    7/29-8/4=3074 burned
    8/1-8/4=1342

    This was not a good first week for me. I failed but I will work harder the next three weeks for the Team!
  • Okay... So I can't weight myself until Sunday or Monday... :(

    Going out of town today and didn't get a chance to go to my gym today. I will update ya'll on my progress on Sunday or Monday! However, I noticed that I lost inches because a dress I tried on a week ago didn't zip up at the time, but this morning, it did!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NSV since I don't have a SV today!

    About the 500 calorie challenge...I understood it as burn 500 cal in addition to the pre-programmed deficit of about 500 (which would equal about a 2 pound weight loss per week if you don't eat the calories back, but again that depends on your weight and metabolic rate). So you'd have to burn 3500 per week total to complete the challenge. Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

    SW: 155.4
    CW: 153.0

    Exercise:

    7/30 - 713
    7/31 - 834
    8/1 - 512
    8/2 - 703
    8/3 - 554
    8/4 - 548
    8/5 - Well the goal is 500 but I haven't done it yet. Lazy morning~ :D
  • I'm brand new here, and totally excited to jump into this challenge even though I'm 5 days behind!
  • I've put on this week!!! Not amused in the slightest but I have been feeling very bloated and yucky (although it's not my TOM:sad: ).

    I have booked myself in for a colonic next week to see f that helps with my heavy bloated tum!! :sick:

    Well done to all you guys, especially 7POUND LOSS! WTG!!!!!

    When is the team captain back so we get our spreadsheet?
