    Is everyone eating the calories they are burning off?

    I am curious about this too. I just adjusted my daily intake bc I had lifestyle too active in my profile and now my exercise calories mean a post workout snack.


    HECK NO!!! I might use a few but no more that 25, to me I do not see the point in burning the calories if I am just going to eat then back. Kinds defeats the purpose of burning calories I think.

    Have I mentioned I hate water?? I got about 6 glasses yesterday and 30 mins and 149 calories. Today is crunch time to make up from lack of exercise this week so far today I have done 1 hour and 463 calories. but only 1 glass of water. I am going to try putting some crystal light in it to drink more. Does that even count??

    No loss for me this week :(

    I start the challenges on Tuesdays since I'm in Australia and ahead of you guys. So:

    Tue - 80oz / 55 mins: 519 cals
    Wed - 64oz / 43 mins: 285 cals
    Thurs - 80oz / 42 mins: 249 cals

    I don't know how I've not lost anything. My weight's jumped around all week, I've been pretty damn good about my eating and exercising, but to no avail. Is it possible I'm in a plateau? Wahhhh!

    How's my team? From the looks of it -- you are all doing very well!!! I'm seeing lots of water drank -- calories burnt -- and minutes movin!!!

    Tomorrow is weigh in day -- it's time to send me your numbers in a message.

    Remember to send how much water you drank -- how many minutes you exercised -- and how many calories burned. I'm just adding those up so we can see the total lol -- it was pretty cool to see how many calories we burnt last week!!!

    Also -- it looks like we'll be sending out the new challenge tomorrow -- and run them till next Friday -- weigh in day will stay the same. I know alot of you don't weight in till Monday or Tuesday and I'm totally ok with that.

    Again -- if there are blanks by your name and youknow you sent me your info -- shoot me a message -- we'll get all your information caught up.

    Best of Luck Guys -- I know you've been working really hard!!!

    Day 4:

    Monday: 65 min of exercise and 80oz of water
    Tuesday: 40 min of exercise and 88 oz of water.
    Wednesday: 85 min of exercise and 96 oz of water
    Thursday: 50 min of exercise and 78 ounces of water
    Friday: 40 minutes of exercise (so far) ....


    I weighed in this morning and I have lost nothing this week. I am trying not to be disappointed since I am coming off of 3 weeks in a row of losing, but its a little discouraging. I am keeping it very strict this weekend and see if I can't get a good number next week!

    Hi All Purples! Hope you are doing well meeting your challenges! Here's this week's stats for me:

    Mon: 70 minutes, 68 oz.
    Tues: 30 min, 68 oz.
    Wed: 45 min, 68 oz.
    Thurs: 40 min, 68 oz. (I drink the same 2 bottles of water every day, so this is a low estimate)

    Totals: 185 minutes of exercise and 272 ounces of H20. Also, 789 calories burned.
    Today's weight: 155.2 lbs. I can't believe I lost another little bit!

    This challenge has been really been motivating for me!!

    for those teammates having trouble with drinking enough water: i bought a refillable water bottle that hold the recommended daily value of water 8 glasses/175 oz at Rite Aid. i know they sell them at k-mart too. I fill the bottle every morning and do my best to finish what it holds by the end of the day. it makes it a lot easier for me becuase i wasn't too good at keeping track just by glasses. drinking a lot of water helps SO MUCH when trying to lose weight even before this weeks challenge i had been trying to drink 8 glasses on a daily basis. good luck & go team purple!

    Totally agree. I bought 2 water bottles from WalMart that are 32oz. You get to drinking and don't even realize you've downed 64 oz in the first few hours of the morning. I tend to drink 96oz per day. Better than drinking 5 million glasses/bottles of water every day LOL

    Not sure on the water intake-to me that's a challenge and I don't think there was 1 day where I met that goal.

    I think I lost 2 lbs. I used my moms scale (which is off) but last week it said 162 and this week was 160 :) but really it translates to 163.

    Monday: 35 mins 225 calories5 glasses of water

    Tuesday: 30 mins 149 calories 5 glasses of water

    Wednesday: 45 mins 141 calories 7 glasses of water

    Thursday: 1 1/2 hours 715 calories 6 glasses of water

    Friday: 20 mins 158 calories and 6 glasses of water
