Hi! I may be dropping out of this challenge.... I have been having some trouble with my hip since starting back to exercising recently. I first hurt it about 5 years ago (?) but never had it looked at. When I went to the doc yesterday I asked about it and am being referred to physical therapy. It seems to be the walking…

Just checking in. I have been under the weather this week. I'm hoping to feel better soon!! I'm not doing any working out until this thing resolves itself because it's mainly a stomach issue...just can't see me running or jumping around at Jazzercise class when I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I haven't felt sick from my…

Good morning! I went home Monday evening not feeling well...stayed home from work and in bed most of the day Tuesday. I had yesterday off already for some appointments so today I'm back in my routine but not entirely feeling well. It's mainly a stomach thing.... I am hoping that today it gets better and by the time my work…

3 miles at lunchtime today!! :)

I'm going to post here so I can come back. I started a walk/run program last week but have considered dropping it for now until I get more used to all the other exercise I've been doing. But I may decide to keep going and I have the C25K on my iPod which I found the other day...so, I might be back!! :) It kind of depends…

Hello! Well, I did the 17 miles last week, and my weight was 165.8 this morning. Down 1.8 over this past week. :)

Good morning! I wimped out on the burpees...I started to hurt in my hip and leg too much from all the exercise I'm suddenly doing again, so after the day I modified them, I didn't do them again. I am going to the doctor this week to get a full physical and am planning on mentioning my hip as well...I injured it during a…

Hi! I'm checking in this morning at 165.8! That's down 1.8 from last Monday morning. I'm glad we weigh in on Mondays, it helps me to stay more on track over the weekend. I've normally been one to kind of take the weekend off and try to make up for it over the week, which is not really the best way to go.

I'm not walking today, other than in my normal daily routine. I've been having some leg, hip and back pain so I'm taking it easier today. I don't want to overdo it and then have to stop altogether. No, no, NO!! Not when I'm finally getting back on track with my exercise after about 4 years of NOT being on track!! Anyway, I…

Hello Skinny Dippers!! I had to modify my burpees...I did them last night but not the entire move because I'm finding that they cause some pain for me in my leg and back. I could deal with the sore quads, and can even appreciate that because I know I'm working those muscles...but the pain in my leg is not okay, and neither…

Hooray!! 3 miles more this afternoon has me at 5 for the day and 17 for the week!! :bigsmile:

2 more miles this morning before work! I'm not using a pedometer. I have a cheapy one, but even sitting here in my chair at my desk and moving around a little it thinks I'm taking steps. So, I'm going to just stick with actual purposeful walks that I measure out. I do walk a little more than that throughout the day in my…

tonight's 50 is done!!

3 more miles in at lunch!!

Yeah, I have to do 5 at a time. Last week was my first real week back to exercise, so I'm pretty out of shape still, and suddenly here I am exercising in one form or another 2 and 3 times per day! My body is in shock!! Then I go home and tell myself I have to get those burpees done before I can eat my dinner...and by the…

1.5 this morning. More later!

I wonder if I'm doing them wrong. I don't feel them in my butt at all -- it's all in my quads!!!

I did em. Didn't like em, but they're done. That's about all I have to say about that!! * Walks kinda funny off into the distance, grumbling to herself *

Okay, I walked 3 miles today at lunch time! :) And changed my ticker!

Hmmm...I don't have a pedometer. I wonder if I would get more miles if I could count all my steps per day? I'm going to check into that pedometer app for my phone. I just map out a route on my lunchtime, or yesterday I used the treadmill. And I mapped out a route in the morning too for my walk/run. I didn't count any other…

Okay, I did my 50. Whew, that was hard! I would do 5 at a time and rest in between. I don't much like those burpees...probably just what I need then!! lol

I've walked/run 4.5 miles today! Yippie!

Woo Hoo!! (just posting so this thread will be in "My Topics" )

Good morning and thanks for the birthday wishes!! I think I posted last night in the other forum that my weight was 169. I did get out this morning and go walking/running but I'll be doing more at lunch today so I'll wait to post that. :) Thank you so much for being in charge of this group! I'm looking forward to this!!

Good morning!! So, my starting weight was 169 pounds...I didn't keep track of the 10ths of pounds then.... But now I am! My weight this morning was 167.6. So down 1.4 pounds. Not bad!! Not as much as I need to conquer the challenge though! I'm hoping it'll pick up as I fine-tune my weight loss efforts. Have a great day…

Hi! I was going to wait until tomorrow to give my starting weight, since that's when the challenge starts...but it looks like everyone put their weights when they joined, so I'll do that I suppose. My weight is/was 169. :) I haven't weighed in yet since then...tomorrow is the day for that! I'm sooo excited for this…

Well, I weigh in the morning! Which is my birthday!! :) Woo hoo!! I've been watching the scale this week and taking a lot of notice of my foods and times of day that I've been eating, etc.... So I see some things I can work on, for sure. I really want to accomplish this goal and Whoop this Challenge!! And, lucky me, TOM…

I came in with 2961 calories burned with exercise over the week. I walked 3 of the days at lunch time, and went to Jazzercise 4 days, and did Zumba in my living room once!! :) I might have walked here at night another night, I don't remember.... I'm proud of myself because this past week was my first real week back to…

Hi! 450 more calories today, so 2961 total for the week so far! :)
