Beautiful! Thanks for the extra motivation. I've been meaning to get a jump rope and it's high time for me to do it! Do you know if adult ones are available at target?0
-
bmfrazie, I'm in! This thread was just what I've needed. One week into my South Beach Diet, and did virtually no excercise last week. Was just thinking how I need something to motivate me. You'll hear from me again here. Thanks!!
DanceYogaRun, I'm sure they are. I got mine at KMart, and I'd assume Target would as well, as they are pretty comparable. At KMart, the adult jump-ropes were in the Sports/Athletics section.0 -
I'll check in later!! Thanx!0

Sounds like a reachable goal.
I would love to join and will post at the end of the week0 -
sorry ... double post and it wont let me delete0

YIKES! I've got bad knees and am notorious for going over cals! BUT, I'M IN!!!!!!!!0
-
I'm in!
Good luck everybody!0 -
Thank you! This sounds like exactly what I need right now. Cardio and staying in my daily goal range, I've been lacking in both lately.0

This will be an awesome challenge for me. I loved to jump rope as a child and still do as an adult. My challenge will be eating +/- 100 calories. I have a hard enough time eating all of my calories to start with!0

This sounds good - I'm in! I missed this yesterday, so I will have to try and make up for missing a day.

Not doing so well, am I? First challenge for me, I'm happy to be meeting my calorie goals at least!0 -
