    Is there another thread where everyone is posting? It's so quiet here, I keep thinking I'm missing the main conversations....

    Just finished my challenge moves--none of these are very knee-friendly----and did 40 crunches to add to the team total! I put them off all day long and by 8:45PM figured it was now or never so I got my butt up and took care of business! Go team!!!!

    PS I don't know what it is about the woman that does those exercise demos, I mean she's OBVIOUSLY in great shape and EXTREMELY fit, but I feel like I'm watching a porn star work out---just sayin' (I'm probably just jealous....then again, I don't get that creeped out feeling when I see Jillian or Chalene....)

    I think last week was bad for a few of us! Keep up the enthusiasm!

    I've had 2 c-sections myself!!! I'm totally with you on this one...

    AND AS FAR AS TEAM RESULTS ARE CONCERNED:
    I haven't heard from HALF of our team and I'm not going to chase them around... Here it is Tuesday and NO response from them... I've messaged Gary about what to do because it's not fair to the rest of us to be waiting around for them.

    I know I've heard from a couple of you regarding the September challenge. I am going to be captaining again and need 7 more members for our team challenge for September. I know some of you I can count on!! :)

    catniss i know exactly what you mean, other people don't bother me but there was something about that woman!

    @bubbles--it's good to know I'm not alone with my perception!!!

    Today's challenge (Wed) is pretty intimidating--especially after doing my Jillian Michael's workout. 200 jumping jacks??? PLUS 100 mountain climbers??? PLUS---hmmm something else, gotta check my list oh yes and the crunches.
    I know that with so many MIA team members we're probably not one of the top competitors, but I'm still motivated to complete everything!
    Go team--keep on keepin' on!!!! And start jumping.....

    catniss Posts: 326 Member
    got today's challenges done--well, almost--I'm on my way out with the puppy for that extra mile. I looked at tomorrow's exercises and I want to know who thought it was a good idea to have 2 days in a row of 200 jumping jacks!!!!!!!

    Team - I haven't been my normal self this week. I haven't gone over in calories and I haven't been in the gym doing my normal workouts... HOWEVER, I have completed the challenges at home!! :) My weight loss will be minimal if anything at best! I'm hoping to really give it my all for the final week and then roll into September with LESS confusion and MORE motivation! :)

    Jill--the most important thing is to just be doing the best we can in the moment we are doing it, right??? As long as each of us is moving forward-even if just by inches-then we should be congratulating each other on our successes---think of all the folks out there who aren't doing anything at all to make themselves feel better!!

    I'm looking forward to the Sept challenge as well!

    I did today's challenges plus my bonus crunches plus 10 extra for the team.

    Glanced at tomorrow---100 crunches--whaat????? and 50 burpees??? If I'm not dead by the end of this challenge I'm going to be in great shape!

    just finished my daily challenge excercises and an extra 50 crunches for today!
    I went out and bought a nice pedometer today! Tomorrow, I will be doing a site walk for work... LOTS of walking around the whole building... all 13 floors, plus basement levels!! I did it once before and it took me 6 hours, nearly non-stop... i wanna know how many steps its takes to complete the whole day!! :)
