    I was under calorie and got all my water in yesterday too. I have no idea what to do about not being here to check in on Sunday... I'll be back Monday, but maybe not until late. I'm leaving later today than I thought, so that's kind of good (for my workout!).
    Also, my dog does NOT like bear walking at all...he was flipping out. It was hilarious!
    :laugh:

    scantrll + rtalencar... Great calorie control! That's really impressive given both of your circumstances.

    I'm wondering the same thing...how's everyone doing?? I was able to complete all of the pygmy and team challenges this week and do the mini challenge. This upcoming week is going to be a little tougher, but we can do it!!!


    Don't forget to get me your check-in information, if you haven't done so already!

    Unfortunately I was unable to finish what I needed on Saturday, I got $*&^ed over at my dojo and had to help rather than doing the exercises like I had planned. I think in the future I'm going to double up on the activities and do them during the week so that I don't have to rely on getting things done on the weekend.

    I did the dailies for Thursday and Friday but missed Saturday. =(

    I stayed within my calories and drank enough water to Thursday through Saturday

    I did not finish the Bear walk challenge. =(

    I lost 1.3 pounds from my last weigh-in.

    Hey everyone, Check-in was yesterday and I'm still missing info from 3 people: Ashley26704, Bens_mommy, and Steph_135. Please get these to me ASAP as I need to turn in our points to Gary. (Also, I'd like to post our progress).


    I can't stress enough how important it is to get me your info, and ALL of your info, on time. Please when you check in, send me a private message on MFP including the following:

    Current Weight (NOT lbs lost)
    Daily: # of days completed
    Weekly: # of days completed
    MIni: if completed or not

    You don't have to put it in that format but it must include all 4 of those numbers!!! Several of you only said that you completed the challenge, so I"m not sure if that means just the daily ones, just the weekly/team one, both, or does that include the mini challenge. Please send me a message with all of that info specified separately.

    I don't mean to be a pain, but it's a lot easier to track that way and I won't have to send everyone individual messages asking!

    Thanks! Michele

    I'm BACK!! Sooo sorry! But I said ahead of time that I would be late.

    Current Weight (NOT lbs lost) 182
    Daily: 4/4 days completed (the workouts)
    Weekly: 3/4 days completed (the water/calorie challenge)
    MIni: No

    Got back yesterday, so that will be my "Sunday" I'll make up for Monday on Sunday!

    PS - I lost 5.2 lbs!! It's gotta be mostly water, since I didn't get my adequate water on a day when I was sweating buckets!

    Well I just got back yesterday from a camping trip with some friends. I ate really well and stayed within my calories yesterday :) I didn't have time to do day 1 workout, so I'm going to be doing both day 1 and day 2 today. (I can do that right? And it will still count?) I got 1.3 miles in yesterday, but today I'll be getting in a full 5k :)

    No problem, I knew you were out of town. I will be posting who is missing on Mondays to keep track and remind everyone to check in, and the formatting info was directed at everyone :) I'll be sure to update your info in the spreadsheet...hope you had a great trip!
