    I was also out of town this weekend and have just joined the challenge. I only lost about 4 lbs last month and was very disappointed because during the summer I was losing 10 lbs a month! I gotta get back on track and not let college pull me down and bring my weight back up!!! Ready for this! WIll be doing my push-ups and running shortly!

    Anyone else sore from the push-ups??? I can't move my arms today but I've still pushed through 20 this morning :bigsmile: Just a question....can a Zumba class count towards my 3 miles for the week? I wear a HRM so I should be able to work out how many miles (or in my case kilometers!) I've done?

    Yes - if you have some way to convert activity to miles - that's perfectly fine! (That's actually how we're going to do November's challenge!!)

    OMG, pushups are killing me!!! But I can already see a difference in my arms, so I'll push through it. I've had to space out the 60 pushups during the day, so I can actually complete it. Oh, also doing the knee pushups, as I can only complete 2 proper pushups before falling flat on my face. This is such fun though, and I honestly look forward to completing every day.

    Push up every day or every other day? I thought we only can do weight lifting every other day so the muscle has time to recover.

    If you are concerned about muscle recovery - feel free to skip a day.

    I am new to MFP and I could not find the spreadsheet. I tried to put the spread sheets url manually said it wasn't there...please help i know must be doing something wrong:sad:

    You should just be able to copy and paste the link into your browser. I think you have to be using a PC, though - don't think it works with phones.

    Just a friendly reminder - please do not change the sorting or any of the formulas in the spreadsheet...only add your name/update your weights. :smile:

    Week 1:

    10/1 - NOTHING
    10/2 - NOTHING
    10/3 - 64oz - DONE/ Push-Ups- DONE/ 0 Miles out of 3
    10/4 -

    Should I count the distance on my eliptical or just when I go walking/jogging??

    You can count elliptical - the goal of the mini-challenges is to get people up and moving...if you're already actively working out, you can stick with what you normally do. To be honest, I don't do a lot of the mini-challenges because I have a set schedule I do from my personal trainer. Some people just need that extra push that a challenge brings.

    3.5 miles done so far! Woohoo...not stopping there though. I like that I'm starting to feel more comfortable jogging.
    Haven't gotten to the push-ups yet...procrastination. I'll get them started tomorrow. =P

    It's cool that people can convert Zumba and elliptical exercises to running, but I think (if you are able) if you'll TRY to run, even a short distance, you'll see that it is COMPLETELY different. I was doing Zumba for 5 months before I ever started running, and it was still a whole different ball game. Once I started running, Zumba kept my VO2 level up, but not really the other way around. But still... to each his own!

    Thanks, I want to do the weight-loss challenge, but was worried the other challenges would injure me, given that my Ripped in 30 workouts are practically killing me already.

    So i read situps instead of pushups. I'm going to stick with situps and start trying pushups...though i could only do 2...long way from 60. I got my walk/jog in on saturday and monday but missed the rest. I will start catching up today. Letting my breakfast settle and i'm hitting my treadmill. Getting the water down has been no problem. Went over on calories sat and sun and went back up a lb..grrr.. Must lose 10 in october. Have an event on saturday i committed too that is a cosmo event...better walk a lot that day.

    Good to know I've been trying to do it all everyday ontop of what I was all ready doing.

    So anyways I'm caught up with all the push ups so far for the week

    I've done 2 miles per day on Sat., Mon., and today. Sun. is my rest day. I'm working on those pushups. Getting the water in is the most difficult for me. :( Hope everyone is doing well.
