So I just updated diet/fitness profile under settings to adjust for the additional weight loss. And it lowered it by 20 calories. When I first started using the forums in September this was a big topic. Do any of you do this as well?

:sad: I must say that I am very sad to get bumped on the first time I tried a challenge. Yes, i'm a big girl and wish you all the best. I was honest with myself. I counted my cardio exercise minutes which was 3 days of running 10 miles total for 90 minutes. I did not count the jumping jacks or crunches or swimmers press as total minutes. I didn't count Friday's activity. don't know if that would made a difference in how your calculations are arrived and to boot, I was down to 165 this morning - 4 pounds. report to you on Friday was 168.2. se la vi.

Best to you all.:flowerforyou:

Very busy weekend but I got all the challenges in, stayed under target calories and got that water in!!!

Also, we aren't accepting any new participants (SORRY).
