    Are we using the same spreadsheet as September? Is there a place to log on when you have accomplished all the bootcamp challeneges for the week?

    Alright, I went running this morning for 3 miles before I even knew what the challenge was! Yah! Got that one down. The push up one will be great for me...I don't like doing weight training!

    Thank for doing this!

    I am so excited about this challenge. 10lbs would be great so I really need the motivation. I'm going to do my walk now, my knees can't handle jogging. :( And I'll get those push ups in. Will the push ups help me to get Michelle Obama arms? lol

    I am sad that I did not get to finish out the Sept challenge due to a kidney infection :( I am still on some antibiotics but there is no pain now-a-days ...so thats good...unfortunately due to medication and not moving around I gained 2.5 lbs back :( I am looking forward to doing a whole month of challenges! Here we go!

    There is a new spreadsheet - the link is somewhere on the first page of this thread.

    I'm in again!! Only lost 3lbs last month but the last few are the hardest, right?? :-) Hoping for big loss this month as I am going to Japan for 3 weeks in Nov to visit my husband and then having foot surgery as soon as I return, so I will be out of commission for a few weeks! Good luck everyone!

    I'm walking too. I like to do Leslie Sansone's 1 or 2 mile walk program on Exercise TV. She also has a walk and tone and a family walk. When the weather cools down (I'm in South Florida), I'll probably start walking outside.

    Good Luck.

    I am down for this week's challenge. I know I can work to do the push ups. The 3 mile walk/run is for the whole week (not per day)?

    Already posted my starting weight. I am weighing in at 275.6 lbs. I didn't quite make the 10 lbs in September but I am still down and will continue to do so.

    I haven't done push ups since I was a kid, so those were tough. I had to do the ones on my knees for now. I'm gonna have to work up to the full ones lol. I also can't run like a few other people have mentioned, so I walked it and threw in an extra mile today =) This is great fun and motivation so far! Thanks for letting me join in. This is my first challenge and I LOVE it already.

    You ready for this?!?!

    Rules:
    Weigh in every Friday (or whatever day you normally weigh in - and just post by Friday) on the spreadsheet
    If you don't log a starting weight by 10/7, you will be deleted from the spreadsheet
    If you don't log an updated weight for 2 weeks in a row, you will be deleted from the spreadsheet
    No negative comments

    Mini-Challenge for Week 1:
    >As always - 64oz water/day - just DO it!
    >360 push-ups...with a twist...this is only 60/day, but I want you to do it in 15 minutes...yes, that's all...60 push-ups in 15 minutes...4 per minute. I got this idea from a guy in spin class - he said they would do 1, 3, or 5 push-ups every minute for an hour and that it ended up being a KILLER ab workout. We might work up to that, but for now I just want you to do 4 per minute for 15 minutes. If you can't do a real push-up and need to be on your knees, that's fine, just do them somehow. (great for commercial breaks!!)
    >3 mile run - not necessarily all at once - divide it up however you like, but by the end of next Thursday, I want you to have ran 3 miles. If you can do it all in one shot - more power to you - if you have to walk it because you can't run - that's fine - just get in 3 miles on your feet.

    Not so bad, huh? Well - we still have 3 more weeks for me to add to it... :devil:

    Best of luck to everyone!!! :drinker:

    Awesome! I've already got half the running down from yesterday! Water is no problem, the pushups will be a little bit of a challenge, but doable. (no commercial breaks for me...no tv!)

    Push-ups... Do those already. Running... I love, but my foot doesn't. Better keep the ice pack and insurance card handy! LOL!!!

    Don't hurt yourself! You probably run more than 3 miles in a week chasing after all those kiddos, though!!

    That's probably true! LOL! I always count my time in Wal-Mart wrestling them and a shopping cart as "pushing stroller with child"... LOL!

    Hi all, I am so excited about this month's challenge!!! I REALLY need to lose these 10 pounds. I fell into a slump over the past few months and haven't been able to snap out of it. Being held accountable by others will truly help, and I am SOOOOOOOO ready for this!

    I would love to gain some friends on MFP from this, so please feel free to add me as a friend.

    Thanks for the support! LET'S DO THIS!!!
