9-1 = 927
9-2 = 1021
9-3 = 1229

Grand Total = 5752 calories burned!

No wonder Hubby says I'm an exercise addict! :laugh:
Not too sure about my weight as it's TOM & in the span of 1 day I blew up 3 pounds! It WILL go away though! We met with a Trainer at the gym we just joined on Sunday (joined for Hubby's benefit but I'm not complaining!) and hoping to kick my butt in gear - tomorrow is our first Upper body class :happy: Ready to PUMP IT UP!!!

So I have three interviews today (thank GAWD) at one company that isn't too far away from my apartment. I'm thinking about bringing a change of clothes and walking back (it's a bit more than an hour) and then I have W1D2 of C25K tonight

I'm loving everyone's updates and you're all doing great. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things and I'm excited to jump onboard for next week's challenge.

tausha: thanks for challenging us and making us believe that we can do it! anything is possible as they say! even if we didnt get to 5000 we sure did work hard! thanks for being a fab leader! and your burns are pretty amazing too! sure i have to work hard to get my burns! lol, part and parcel of being 5'3" and 122lbs! but ive enjoyed the challenge!

Laura: wowee! well done on the workouts!

annie: well done! nearly there!

ccsunlight: good luck with the interviews.

Nat: you are one powerhouse woman! well done!

deedee: well done!

carbuc: good attitude. keep it up!



everyone else keep kicking it! Im still here, i will add up my totals and post tomorrow! havent been able to exercise much as givng my ankles a bit of a break plus im a bit run down so resting up

Im back to 122lbs! had put on 1lb during the weekend which is now off! Pretty syched about my run on sunday! im soooo looking forward to it so not going to jeopardise it by working out too much!


my story is that pretty much all through out my 20s ive been between 136lbs, and then i had my daughter in jan 09 and my weight shot up to 158-160ish! yikes! and i struggled to lose weight whilst breastfeeding. I breastfed for a year and then stopped and lost 14lbs within a month! afterwhich i waas stuck. finally 2 days after my daughter turned 2 in jan this year i got fed up of how i looked in pictures and decided that things were going to change.

I started mfp at 141lbs and got to my goal in march (126) but then decided to lose a bit more and finally settled for 122lb in april. NOw im happy to maintain between 120-125lbs. My health is a lot better- my asthma is well controlled and i am running which i havent dont in over 15 years! MFP and the friends ive made along the way have taught me so much about food and exercise and my goals ahve changed from losing some vanity pounds to being healthy.

sas-good job! If you think about it...4 days with each of those burns where they were at is great!!! I'm sure you'll bring it on this weeks challenge too!

Kate-GOOD LUCK with you interviews!!!! and Let me know if you manage that walk back or not....if you do, I think that would give me huge motivation to get out there and do something extra too!! :happy:

Mariam-thanks for sharing your story! I think that you have done an awesome job...and hope to be as fit as you soon!!! You have always been someone for me to look up too, and have been with me for every fitness challenge that I have thrown!! CONGRATS on all of your success!

purplebutterfly-just keep on movin!! as for the HRM...I don't know WHERE you can get one...but I def recommend one with a chest strap vs a finger sensor...just my opinion.

DeeDee-CONGRATS on your exercise achievements this week....I think that it was a great idea to compare the number of hours to your normal amount!! you did AWESOME btw!!! I took a look at mine, and I ended up with 8 hours compared to my normal 3.5!!! alright!:happy:

Tausha-CONGRATS on hitting your goal!!! Can't wait to start tomorrow's challenge...i will for sure hit it this week, as 2 of my personal goals are to do ripped in 30 6 out of 7 days (for 1925 cals burned just for that....my goal will be 1200 something tomorrow), and to drink at least 8 cups of h20/day (this challenge will be right around 6.5cups/day!)
