Starting Friday June 1st.

We will be posting our weight loss each Friday. You can weigh on any day, but post how much you have lost on Fridays. I'm not asking what you weigh, but how much you have lost. This week will be 0 next Friday will be your loss for the week.

If you could pick up a cheap pedometer to measure your steps. If you count you steps on the tread mill that is fine. I like to push myself each week to do more. The average person walks 10,000 steps. Sad to say I was doing less then 3,000 when I started Herbalife. I had no idea. I bought a step counter, placed it on my sock (works great there) and lost weight fast.

Do some type of upper body strangth training. Kettle ball, weights or lifting your arms and holding them out to the side. 3 times a week.

Then post as you do you steps and upper body on here. I want to hear how you feel after you are done. I will be checking and then we can increase challenges for the next week.

Keep Moving, Marne :flowerforyou:

    I am in!! It is the first and I am off and running!! Well I wish I could run, but I will have to settle for walking. I REALLY want a Fitbit...but I am gonna have to save some money for that. I also want to buy a kettle bell. I will see what I can come up with! :)

    I'm ready too. I set my phone to be my pedometer (can't find mine...) I looked at kettle bells last night, but decided I would wait to reward myself with one after my first 5 pounds has come off. What is a Fitbit? I haven't heard of that one yet. Well time to get ready and go to the Herbalife center to weigh-in. I'm so excited I feel like a kid at Christmas.

    Have a wonderful day everyone...Keep Moving, Marne :flowerforyou:

    I tried a couple of phone apps for pedometer, but nothing that really worked that great. I bought one pedometer at walmart they have them for under $5 and I got the one that was one step up for $11. I like to put mine on my sock...that works great for me.

    I'm sure you burned a lot of calories doing house work and working on your car. Have a great day.
