    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!

    Challenge done for 2/9, except for water again. I don't know why that has been so hard for me. I also logged 5.9 miles today and 25 minutes of circuit training. I am going to try to get my measurements and weight in tomorrow because I will be out of the house early on Saturday with the kids for basketball. This challenge has been really helpful to keep me motivated. I hope everyone else feels the same way!

    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

    Looking at the other check-ins, I thought I should add a couple notes to mine. I have been checking in daily, so I may not need this, but I have done all daily exercise challenges plus 100 burpees. I have been under calorie every day, but I missed water on 4 days.

    Goodnight all!

    Okay, last couple of days has been horrendous. Just flew home after a very long delay. No internet on the road and kept losing access to the fitness pal app on my phone. So, while I don’t have the calculations, I’m sure I was over on my calories a couple days this week. But, good for water and finished the challenges. Although, not much extra exercise was done.

    I’ve lost inches in some areas but no weight loss; as a matter of fact, a bit of a gain. I’m baffled by this but think it might be from the last couple of days and the fact that I’ve had to weigh myself at night after a lot of travelling. The good news is that i have dropped 2% off my body fat. (I have a scale that scans me during my weigh in.) About 15% to go. so here are my results tonight.

    Current Weight: 176 lbs
    Current waist inches: 34.5”
    Current hips inches: 43”
    Current wrist inches: 7.25”
    Current forearm inches: 11”
    Exercise Minutes: 510 mins (8.5 hrs)
    Daily Challenges Completed: All
    Bonus Challenge Completed: Both (xtra of each)

    Tsumpter, can you post your results so we know how this is supposed to look? Lots of variations here on the check in.

    thanks,
    Cyd

    Also,

    If you don't know what the exercise are there are great videos on youtube. If you still can't find the exercise you can subsitute it with another exercise. Have fun with it and push yourself alittle more each day. Give it time and you will see a change in the end. Remember are goal is to win the war at the end. If you lose the battle today fit harder tomorrow to win the battle in the end.

    We can do this and do YOUR BEST. Anything is better than NOTHING!!!!:smile:

    Glad to see everything is good with you Tina. I think we were getting worried...

    Have you ever experienced losing inches and yet having a slight gain? I know I had a bit of a bad couple days but I would expect that inch loss wouldn't happen when there is a weight gain. I'm baffled.

    Congrats to everyone!!!

    I've been getting really disheartened, because I've just not been losing weight. But I've never been one for measuring myself, so it's been a real boost to see the inches that have come off my waist :happy: I find it so much easier to stick to a plan when I can see the results.

    Right, I'm feeling motivated tonight, so I'm off to do my Shred DVD while the boys are watching Top Gear

    I asked my trainer that same question when I started working out more last year. He told me "muscle weighs more than fat". So with all of these workouts we are building muscle, but we are also losing fat. Therefore losing inches. I hope I explained this right. Here is an example; fat (XXXX) = muscle(XX). :smile:
