For this mini-challenge concept, I see many dates before May 1 and it confuses me. Is the challenge the month of May or some other date range?
@crab5005, you will see week one (for the first week of May and dates from Sunday to Saturday. The the 2nd week of challenge you will see week 2 and different days For Sunday to Saturday and so no for the 3rd week and 4th week. Hope that helps.0 -

@crab5005, your team mates have stepped up and answered this question while I was at work, (thank you!), but I am going to expand on their answers. The Challenge always starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday that is closest to the beginning and end of the calendar month. Most months, the Challenge is four weeks, but for the month of May, it is actually five! So the "May" Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge starts on Sunday, April 28th and ends on Saturday, June 1st.2 -

@Nicoletime4me, were you close on your calories?0 -
276.4. Okay so I was a total dud for the team and the challenge but I am going to do better for May!
@crab5005, well, you stayed the same as last week, so no harm, no foul. Since this May Challenge has a bonus week, you still have four weeks remaining to do some damage on the scales!!1 -

I messed up on this post from earlier, I got my days all mixed up, something I'm good at. This for Monday. I also accidentally put in yes for Monday. The challenge starting on Sunday throws me off, as I always think of the week starting on Monday.

Monday: no
Tuesday: no - Today was my daughter's birthday and we had a birthday lunch with family and didn't get a chance to exercise either.

today was a rough one. I was on my feet for most of the day and work was insane. I woke up wiped out (this is what I get for being peppy the day before lol) and i am already kicking myself for not being in bed already. The next few days is going to be rough; we're driving to ny tomorrow after work to do some work on our house there for spring cleanup. Never dull! Hopefully today is my one off day and I'll be zipping into yoga in the morning. Have a good night everyone!0 -

Loving the discussion on yoga and running apps and 30 day challenges! I am not participating in any of them, and part of me feels guilty. The other part of me is just focusing on my successes these days, and not trying to add something to the mix that might cause me to fail (by not doing it!). I have been eating at a deficit for 8 days now, and making some headway in my invoice filing at work. I did order a new workout outfit on-line and it came today. None of my workout clothes were fitting, especially the bras, so I desperately needed something new. I haven't tried them on yet, because I am afraid they won't fit, or I won't like it. I never order clothes on-line!! My foot is still sore, but only slightly, so that is promising.4

Firstly, congrats on a deficit for 8 days and I'm glad your foot is getting better!Loving the discussion on yoga and running apps and 30 day challenges!

If you have Amazon Prime, they now have prime wardrobe. Essentially, you pick out 3 or 5 clothing items that are eligible, they dont charge you until you get them, try them on and decide you want it! They only charge you for what you keep! I thought that was pretty neat!
You'll be participating in all this fun workout stuff when you're ready! 1 -

I decided to take the day off from my c25k and my ab challenge. My body is definitely feeling it. Last night I did day 1 of yoga with Adriene after my c25k and ab challenge, and it was way harder than expected! Will be doing some light stretching before bed tonight!
I think days off are important. What abs challenge are you doing?
I downloaded an app off of the play store and it's called 30 Day Challenge. There are a bunch of different ones, I chose Ab Challenge Medium 1. I probably could have done Easy 1, but I thought I would give it a shot. It is pretty difficult for me, but I think I will be able to make it through. I am on day 7.
Rest days are important, usually I make my days off (Thursday/Sunday) rest days. But, I do try to get some activity in (walking). Because I have Saturday and Sunday off this week, I am going to do an extra session of c25k on Thursday so I will not worry about not doing *as much* on Saturday.
I usually try to walk on my rest days too, great job planning your week around exercise! I think I'm going to check out the ab challenge, but I don't have great core strength and will probably start out with easy
I partly wish I started with the easy one, but do like that it is pretty challenging for me... I'm starting to like Russian twists over leg raises(my hip pops every time I bring my legs down
) and I feel really weird doing the superman one. It is definitely worth checking out!
Tonight is not going to happen... work was exhausting tonight!
This is a random thought I had today, but I think that tomorrow I will treat myself to getting my nails done, and maybe even get a pedicure(first one ever) for an "job well done" as I hit my 5 month mark a few days ago...2 -
