WEEK 2 UPDATE:
Water- 18 cups
Cals burned- 1000, only 140 to go!
Found out that I'm pregnant so I'm not sure how serious I can take the exercising side of this challenge but I'm hoping I can continue to keep up!
Thats Awesome! Congratulations!!!0 -
I have not gotten in nearly as many workouts this week as I would have liked to. I was sick for the first for seven days of this weeks challenge so that put a bit of a damper on things. I am doing really good on my daily water intake and my weigh-in this morning was looking pretty decent, so I am hoping it will reflect the same or better tomorrow for the official weigh-in!
I love going through and reading all of your daily water and calorie burn updates. They are always so motivating! Keep it up ladies...we can do this!0 -
Just wanted to share I can now run for 3.5 miles, 45 minutes straight through..hoping and praying I can afford to sign up for my Halloween 5K to RUN for the first time! Everyone, keep rockin your goals, remember! Tomorrow is our official weigh in for those that do..think of it as a last chance workout! I ran this morning, and will get ripped tonight..maybe squeeze in some wii if i feel extra frisky lol0

Good luck to everyone tomorrow with the weigh in !
I have burned 1,935 calories so far this week ! And going to get another workout in tonight ! I am doing better this week with workout out and getting back on track ! Go Team Purple !0 -
This is my update for this past week since I won't be working out again tonight (
). But I do get to go to my Mum's for dinner (salmon & salad, our FAV!!!)
9-8 = 693
9-9 = 1309
9-10 = 337
9-11 = 738
9-12 = 1195
9-13 = 898
9-14 = 587
Grand Total = 5757, 243 short of my goal :ohwell: I'm not using this as an excuse, although aside from an old injury in my thigh acting up, I also discovered that I am more fit than I was a couple months ago. As hard as I'm trying to push my heart-rate up, it rarely goes above 140-150 doing hard-core cardio (this included the arc trainer with resistance & incline at the gym!). This is not a bad thing, but it means that I won't be able to get magnificent calorie burns in like I used to!
Water - avering 25 cups p/day :drinker:0 -

oh please, with 5757 calories burned, you don't need any excuses! great job!!
How do you drink 25 cups water/day? 12-14 is about my max!0 -
Checking in (and Nat, stop whining about not burning much!)
9/8: 796 burned; cups water 11
9/9: 651 burned; cups water 13
9/10: 498 burned; cups water 14
9/11: rest day 0 burned; cups water 8
9/12: 776 burned; cups water 10
9/13: 490 burned; cups water 10
9/14: 1056 burned; cups water 7 (so far)
total calories 4267 left to hit personal challenge of 5000 = 733
cups water 73 and counting
Didn't reach my goal and I think it's a little unrealistic for me. I worked out HARD everyday except Sunday for at least an hour if not an hour and a half (we won't tell my husband that today's was 2 and 1/2 hours-he'd kill me!). So, next week, 4000 will be my goal. It's attainable, I have to push myself a little to get it but I can still have a little bit of a life! Good luck on weigh-in's tomorrow!
Go Team Orange!!!0 -

I am still up from vacay so I have no loss. Do you want the weigh in number or can I just call it even until I get this off? So sorry, Team Pink! I want to contribute soon!0
-
My current weight is 275.2, so I am up 2 pounds since last week. On a positive note, knowing I splurged Thursday through Sunday on vacation, I weighed myself Monday morning and was at 278, so I've lost some since then. But my official weigh in for this challenge last week was 273.2, so that puts me at an increase of exactly 2 pounds.
Week 2 Totals = 1759 Calories Burned, 312 oz Water (Goal 2732/360)
This week will be better!0 -
Weighing in for Team Blue at 133.2...up 0.2 lbs :ohwell: ....it's not a huge gain which is good, but wondering how that happened since I've been cranking out the exercise...and doing pretty well food wise. Tues & Thurs are hard for me since I'm in school all day. I kind of splurge when I get home & don't usually track on those days...at least not as much as I should apparently. Oh well, on the positive side, I burned over 3000 calories this week, and exceeded the water challenge. So all in all it was a good week!
p.s. tjradd....thanks for the encouraging words...that 10k may be closer than I thought.
Keep up the great work everybody!!!0 -
O.K., WTF????? I GAINED again! I'm soooooo frustrated. I burned 4,267 calories last week. Short of my goal of 5000 but still! I drank 79 cups of water. I was under (and not significantly so I sure don't think I'm starving myself) every day! I truly don't get how sodium could be a factor because I sweat so gosh darned much when I workout I don't know how I could be retaining water! I don't know what to do, I'm getting very discouraged here. I don't know if it's the weights or if I'm just really off on my food intake (and I don't think I am!) Maybe I'm one of those people who really can't eat back exercise calories or maybe I'm eating too many of them back. AARRRGGHH!!! I just want to hit something, jump up and down and have a temper tantrum. I want to keep lifting weights because I don't want to quit too soon on something and it really fits my schedule to do them when I do but this scale going up is NOT making me happy.
O.K., vent over. Congratulations on those of you who DID lose weight this week and those of you who met your exercise goals. Even if you didn't reach your goal, do you feel like you pushed yourself to work harder than usual? If so, that's a success right there. Folks who were sick get a free pass from me this week and those on vacation get a mini-pass!
So, Tausha, put me down at 139.2 for the week. I'm gonna go drink some water now.0 -
All I can say is....I gained.....:mad: :explode: :grumble:
:explode: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sick: :huh: :brokenheart: :noway: 0 -
Well...I was 214 yesterday, but this morning I weighed in at 215.2. It's still a 1.4 lb loss I believe, so I will take it. I really think it has to do with Wednesdays! I work late, so I'm up later and eat later. Oh well...still a loss!0

Just a thought. Sometimes when you exercise your muscles actually retain water, not something you can really see in your hands or ankles...lol. You are doing the right things so I wouldn't say this gain was a true gain of FAT and that's what really counts. Keep working hard! Good job!!0
