    If anyone on teh Challenge could explain the "swimmers" to me I would really appreciate it! I did push-ups in its place last night, but it is scheduled for tonight again and I would like to do this right. Thank you!!!

    You lay on your stomach with your arms straight in front of you (so they're along side each of your ears). Then what you're going to do is lift your LEFT leg with your RIGHT arm and hold the position, then slowly put it down and do the same for the RIGHT leg and LEFT arm. It will look like you are swimming in s-l-o-w motion.

    Wowzers - what a day!!

    Didn't get our daily challenges until too late yesterday so, I am one day behind and did yesterday's today! And, just for spite threw in 45 jumping jacks and 15 burpees to boot.

    I'm amazed that I am under my calorie goals but it is all thanks to the tracking this site allows me to do. Just finishing off the last of the required water but will have more later on this evening, with a slice of lemon for desert!

    Keep up the great work everyone!!

    As much as I hate to do it please change my start weight to 225.4

    My boss bought a new digital scale and I weighed this morning, it will be the scale I"m using on a regular basis and to check in on.

    So, today was still hard, but much better than yesterday! Yesterday I went way, way over my food intake. Today I was over, but nothing an extra 20 minutes on a bike wouldn't cure. Tomorrow I'll have to see if I can stay in goal!!!!!!!!!!!! No check on the weight loss yet, that'll come on Tuesday. But, until then I need to ramp up the exercise in order to lose! I can't do all the ones listed in this challenge because of a health issue, but I'm doing what I can!

    Have to say: I am really proud of myself today!

    Completed everything, including over water, under calories, caught up on my daily challenges, ahead of my weekly challenge goal AND I went out with friends tonight!!!
    Planned for and only had 3 small glasses of red wine and drank water throughout the evening.
    Friday is usually a really bad day for watching my intake but today worked out really well and my friends were the best! Respecting my wish to reduce the intake of alcohol!! And we still had a blast!

    Great day! I have to say! :bigsmile:

    ALLIESUN53 ---


    Not sure if it is too late, but tag along anyway! You can still monitor and see how you are doing compared to us.

    It's my first and doing the extra stuff has been great! Just read tsumpter's posts for what we are doing! She is our leader and each of her posts from day one has all the stuff we are doing.

    Good luck and keep yourself motivated!
