Fall's Foxy Femmes - CLOSED GROUP - Week 1

135

Replies

  • Hi I am excited about the challenges. I started on MFP at 205 pounds I am now 171. My husband and I adopted four children and I want to live long enough to see them become adults. I am a diabetic and have high blood pressure. Since starting MFP I have taken less insulin and my blood pressure is under control. I have a long way to go to get to my goal weight. My goal weight is 130 pounds. I completed all exercises today and can't wait until tomorrow.

    1 mile walk/run. Any suggestions of what to do when it is pouring outside and can't get to the gym for a treadmill? I do have about a 1/4 walk each way to my parking lot at work (so I guess I can count that).. I am working on the 5 day Turbo Inferno plan this week. I have Turbo EZ55 in and plan to do HIIT 20 tonight

    Today's exercises done. Used tins of soup so they weren't my usual Body Pump weights but I'm struggling to fit it in properly on a Wednesday. I doubt I'll be able to log miles running/cycling/walking tomorrow because I teach two Zumba classes on a Thursday. Sorry.
  • exercises done 2380 calories and officially dead for the rest of the day. pumping myself up for tomorrow thanks for the challenge

    The last daily challenge for this week will be on THURSDAY! It is a miles challenge based on how many miles you walk/run. If they are biked then divide by 4 === bike 100 miles will equal 25 miles. Any other questions?

    Next week we will have a week long challenge again. It will be 1 point for each day you stay UNDER or smack on your calorie goal. Each person can earn a max of 6 points for the team....30 extra points all together. This means you have to track ALL of your food intake.

    Good luck everyone!

    Sorry. My starting weight is 171.5lbs. Fingers crossed I don't stay stuck - struggled last week.

    Weighed in at 168.5lbs this morning so I'm over the moon! I think my 10k run yesterday helped me along.

    I'm actually taking a rest day today - first in a long time (although I may get the Wii out for a little play).

    168.5 again this week. My weight loss seems to happen fortnightly so fingers crossed there will be movement next week!

    I went out on Friday and Saturday this week (staying within my calories) and it's My TOM so I didn't expect much. Sorry.

    Fingers crossed for everyone else. I'll keep going with the challenges and get as many bonus points to make up for my weight.

    i did not do great on the weight this week, but I guess the loss is a loss. 147.8 today. :(
    I did the race for the cure today and walked forever. it was a great day. there was a zillion people there.
    I wish that today was a points day for water. I drank 200000000 oz of water today.
    Have a great night tonight

    I was back up to 197.2 this morning..but that isn't bad after a weekend of not being able to work out very hard. I had a cortisone shot in my foot for my plantar fasciitis on Friday, so had to take it easy. Got a good workout in this morning :) I actually was down to 195.4 on Thursday, so I feel like I am making progress.

    Exercises done although I don't have a jump rope and my fusion glides were very suspect! Way under my calorie goal (I'm a bit bad and don't eat many of my exercise calories).

    Sorry I didn't get the exercises complete yesterday. Woke up and did a 4am TurboFire and worked a long 11 hour day. My water was complete yesterday. Today I have done the leg exercises after my TurboFire and so they are done for today. Water will be done by tonight.
