    Everyone I'm worried about Gary. Please keep him in your prayers tonight. He hasn't been back since he posted the following yesterday. Just keep him in your prayers please.

    Gary6030 Folks I'm having a major life interruption. I will be back on later this evening to answer messages or tomorrow afternoon. Those of you that pray please pray for me. It's nothing serious but its major mess!
    1 day ago

    Praying for Gary.

    Just checking in weight-wise this week. Up one pound - it's that time of the month, so I'm confident this will be gone (plus more) by this time next week! :)

    Sorry haven't checked in but heres the update
    Ok so Friday and Sat I got everything done and ate under cals and drank water. Sunday wasn't a rest day for me so I caught up with my exercise I didn't do on tues (as had my rest day then) and I finished all my sit ups, ouch!!! Also Sunday under cals and over water. Got on the scales today and I'm sorry to say I haven't lost anything (but haven't gained either). But I'm really not surprised as I haven't been going to the gym as regularly so need to step it up. Off swimming with Anina in the morning and then probably hit the gym in the afternoon so I'm coming back from the dark side. Ok 2morrow I promise I'll start being more diligent on the board. This time next week those scales are going DOWN!!!

    Hey there everyone!

    I just saw I pledged 600 JJ's towards the team challenge...I'm upping that to 1200 because I believed that's what I'd said and I've been doing 200 @ a time! :blushing:

    Today's exercises were completed with the help of one of my bootcampers i.e: I conned her into doing them with me :laugh:

    2x 20 tuck jumps - check
    50 Squat kicks - check
    20 globe jumps - check
    200 Jump jacks - check
    200 crunches (100 bench / 100 bicycle) - check
    2 miles - check

    I've also just found out that my gym is holding another challenge next month and there are 3 categories.
    1) Biggest Loser > mainly weight loss and it's a 2-person team effort
    2) Biggest body transformation > Male (body sculpting I think)
    3) Biggest body transformation > Female (as above)

    I am going to take part in the body transformation category and am asking you all for help along the way! I know most of us are not going to be in the same team challenge next month but we'll still be mates and I'll keep you posted along the way...

    Furthermore, I think I've hit that TOM because I feel like I've got worms...how do you combat the constant "want" to eat?

    Ab crunches 550/800, JJs 200/200

    I don't think you a mortal like the rest of us Anina. I think you have super human genetics. Unreal. I think I can speak on behalf of everyone that we would love to cheer you on in the body transformation category!!!!

    Hi everyone!
    So yesterday I did all my exercise, drank all my water, but then unfortunately I was over my cals ( drank a beer :sad: ).
    HOWEVER today I'm back on track for good!!!
    I drank all my water, ate under my cals and did all my exercises PLUS an extra mile, an extra 200 crunches, and an extra 100 jumping jacks!
    It feels good to be back and fully into my eating and gym. I was a little lost for a while but I found my way back on track!!

    I'm really confused... are we supposed to be doing the stuff on the list that says Day __ whatever AND the name of the day (Monday, Tuesday)? I didn't do Mondays 'cause I just looked at Lori's status for the day for what our challenges were. I'm really not up to a 5k today PLUS my one mile...

    Arielle - this week we are following Day _ (ie today is Day 2: 2 sets of 20 Tuck Jumps, 50 Squat Kicks, 20 Globe Jumps) plus your pledged crunches, JJs & extra miles.
    Next week we follow Monday-Wednesday (last day)
    Hope this helps
