2012 February Biggest Loser Challenge

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!

LADYSKOT

Be proud of yourself for not quitting!!! The main goal is a healthy lifestyle! YOU GO GIRL!!!

Lots of running equals a sucky diet today, but I got my workout in first thing this morning!! Yay!

Wow! I made myself do it. I finished today's challenge! I spent the day with the kids at the amusement park and I was exhausted when I got home. But this challenge has been so motivating to me. I didn't want to miss a challenge day. I also just got a FitBit and wanted to get my "stairs badge" so I also walked my stairs 10x so I could get that today too. So I hope I make the cut and get to keep playing next round!! Also, Friday I didn't totally rest, but I did a very light workout (just enough to meet my FitBit goals), but I did do something nice for myself! I went out for a nice lunch and made good choices!! That is new for me, usually I have very little willpower when looking at a delicious menu, but I am doing better!! This challenge is also making me account for my water, another very good development for me!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

I meet my water every day, but the challenges are hard, the daily challenges I'm getting in but don't think I'll make the extra burpees. However, this is the most dedicated I've been, so I'm good with that

I would be interested in joining if your doing it in March !!! Let me know. I was late seeing this for this month !!! Thank you

0530 hrs - 15 Burpees; 45 Tricep Presses; 45 Deltoid Raises; 30 Bicep Curls; 30 wrist rolls; Ann Jillian's 30 Day Shred; Namaste Yoga. So far, too cold out for the walk (-15 C) hopefully after work.
Thank goodness I did the majority of my workout this morning. Just got home at 7pm so no walk today but, I did extra so hopefully that counts. I am up on water, down on calories... so far so good.

Won't be able to check in for a few days. Thank goodness the rest of the daily challenges don't require special equipment. I just have to be sure not to jump too hard and wake up the neighbors in the hotel!!!! LOL
I'm off to Manitoba, back late on Friday so, hopefully will wake up early enough to do my measurements and weight on time for the deadline.
Keep up the great work everyone!

Hi everyone,

2/7 challenge done, plus I finally completed my 100 burpees. I logged 6.8 miles today too, but I haven't been counting the other stuff I do besides the challenge stuff. I will start adding it if it counts. I am having another bad water day, so I doubt I will get all the way to 8 today. Very excited to reach the first check-in and see how much I lose, either in weight or inches!!

2/8/12 = challenge done. Feeling really tired today! Also, logged 3.5 miles and did 100 sidebends and 100 punch twists (figured I would work all the core muscles while I was at it).

I hope all of the challengers are excited for the first check in!

My biggest revelation? I CAN do 100 jumping jacks! Real ones! I used to do the "modified" one from Cardio Max, but I didn't want to skimp out on this challenge! I may not do them 100 at a time, but I can do 20 at a time, rest for 10 seconds and then 20 more! Woooooohooooo!

Hi all. I've had a virus most of the week, so not been able to do a great deal of exercise. My calories have been below target every day, but I've not been so good at tracking my water consumption, and I've missed most of the daily challenges. Probably not suprisingly, my weight's not changed much this week

My week 1 check in:
Current Weight: 166
Current waist inches: 33.5 :happy:
Current hips inches: 43
Current wrist inches: 6
Current forearm inches: 9.5
Exercise Minutes: 433
Daily Challenges Completed: 2
Bonus Challenge Completed: 0 :frown:

Hopefully the snow will clear after this weekend and I can get back out on my bike
