    Wow! I guess I got mixed up. I thought I had read the start date was changed to December 3rd so I hadn't checked back the last couple days. I guess I won't be getting that extra point this week :noway:

    Beginning weight 182.0
    Waist 39
    Hips 44
    left thigh 25
    left calf 15.5
    left forearm 10.5
    wrist 6 1/8

    Wednesday I raked for 40 minutes and did some standing crunches.
    Thursday I went to Zumba (50 minutes) and walked for 15.
    Friday I tried to go to spin class, but they had cancelled. bummer so I'm about to do some pushups and whatever today's exercise was in the challenge.

    I was interested in this challenge until I saw you recommend going UNDER your suggested daily caloric intake. I guess who don't know better is following along. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED YOU GO UNDER YOUR SUGGESTED CALORIC INTAKE! Especially if you are working out. You NEED energy (calories) to exercise for endurance and to hold proper form. When you go under your calories your body goes into "starvation mode" and the reverse happens; it holds on to the fat for "survival." Please do your research. There are a lot of blogs regarding this topic right here on MFP or just google it. EACH ONE TEACH ONE.

    You do not have to eat back 100% of your exercise calories. It takes a while for the body to go into "starvation mode" as it says in many of those blogs you speak of. There are plenty of people that can exercise, eat healthy and stay under in the "suggested" calories. I am not able to eat back ALL of my exercise calories nor do I want to. I have been at this for 3 months now & my body hasn't gone into "starvation mode" and I normally never eat all of my "suggested" calories. I am losing at a good rate --average one pound a week-- by doing this. Please understand that this challenge is to get you staying in a healthy calorie range--you can eat up to your daily intake but not go OVER, doing exercise, and getting fit at the same time.
