    Woo Hoo I'm a Loser!! :)

    Challlenge: Add a mile to your workout. walk/run/bike. If you want to go hardcore make it for each day. If you need to start slow one extra mile for the whole week.

    Good Luck Friends. You can do it!!

    My info:

    1. Sunday, 9/18 I weighed 262.8 (Sunday 9/25, I weighed 261 (-1.8), and Sunday 10/2 I weighed 257.9 (-3.1).
    2. I am choosing option 3, losing 1.6 lbs. which will put my total at 44 ugly pounds off
    3. Is it too late for me to join? My name is Bette (like Bette Midler, just not as devine but I do have red hair!). I just stumbled on your Christmas Challenge and this will be my first challenge since beginning mfp on August 21. My physical this year showed that I was just 10 points shy of being Diabetic. Knowing that was not the direction I could see myself going, I took the advice of my youngest daughter and joined mfp. I'm 63, a high school secretary, Mother of three wonderful daughters and one spectacular granddaughter. My ultimate goal is to beat the Diabetes rap, get in better shape, live longer so I can watch all my girls grow up and enjoy their lives. I figure if I can get rid of 100 ugly pounds to begin with, it would help out my knees (one needs replacement in the near future). My exercise of choice is water aerobics which I take 4 times a week (4-5 hours total). My instructor has lost 100 pounds through water aerobics (and kept it off 8 years) so she's my Hero!

    BetteEdmonson is my username. Let me know if I'm too late to have fun with your group by Christmas!

    It's partners week!

    Here are the partners (chosen randomly), please find your numbers on the spreadsheet.

    2-12
    6-14
    7-18
    5-11
    9-10
    13-4
    16-3
    17-8
    15-18

    These are the partners for the week. The two of you will do everything the same, eat the same amount of calories, do the same amount of exercise, drink the same amount of water. Basically you are going to be twins for the week. You will need to talk to each other on a regular basis to figure out how this is going to work, a lot of you eat different amount of calories and have different views on eating back exercise calories. Because of this there can be a 300 calorie lee-way. I will be randomly checking to make sure everyone is doing this!

    Each week from now on there will be some type of partner activity like this. I want everyone to get to know each other and really encourage each other.


    The partners that lose the most this week will be given an advantage for next week.

    I am not sure two more different people could have been paired - she's super tall, I am super short, our exercise time and methods are completely different, how much we eat not even close, but hey - it's a challenge :)

    And we shall rock it! Woot! ;)

    Okay so um, I think...

    My partner and I both drank 10 glasses of water, exercised 120 minutes, and ate ~1700 calories (me a little less, her a little more, since I am 9" shorter than she is, but within the 300 window) today. I think. :)
