I tend to weigh myself most days, just to see what the scale is doing and my weight went went up earlier this week. Hopefully it'll be back down before the weigh in on Monday! :) I did eat pizza this week, and I ate it late in the day, so I wasn't too surprised by the increase. I'm not going to worry about it at this…

Okay, my exercise tracker says 2111 calories burned for the week so far. So I DID IT!! I don't know what the week runs here on this site, but I didn't do any exercise on Sunday, so it's my total since Monday.

This challenge doesn't start until Monday, September 26th, so I don't see why you can't change your option! :)

another 460 calories burned. 1380 + 460 = 1840! :) Way to go everyone!

Congratulations!! I'm checking in with 280 calories SO FAR today - so 1380 so far for the week. And I still have Jazzercise class tonight!

I've started to practice my walking this week! I can do 3 miles on my lunches if I take all my breaks together for a total of an hour. I am also using a site that I can plan a route out so I know the distance of my walks/runs. If you're interested, it's called mapmyrun. There are options on it tho for running, walking,…

@ fruitsndveggies - me too. My goal is 29 pounds more so it may be tough to get there, but I figure every little thing that helps to move me and motivate me will be a positive!! :) I'm excited about this!

Another 400 calories tonight doing some Zumba in my living room. Total of 1100 for the week! :)

I did a little checking and am changing my calories from last night to 450 - that seems like a more accurate amount from looking around online. I don't yet have an HRM, though I think I might have one hiding in a box somewhere from moving in the last year.... If I can find it and figure out how to actually use it, then…

Checking in....I burned 384 calories at exercise today! :)

I want to do this!! :) Melanie 169 pounds today

Wow, Emma, I'm impressed! I am so far from being able to do something like that -- but maybe some day!

Hi! I would like to join this challenge!! I am just getting going on exercise again...so I'm choosing option # 1. Hello everyone!! Oh, and my starting weight as of today is 169. Or do you want our starting weights as of the 26th? That day is a good one for me to start...it's my birthday!! :)

Love it!! Thanks! :)

Hello, happy Monday! I didn't focus much on the challenges this weekend...I had company from out of town and so was busy entertaining. I had a great weekend!! Didn't gain any weight either, thankfully.... I did have a little to drink but no real excess. I did have long stretches of not eating, then getting hungry between…

Good morning! :) My weekend was awesome on a personal level. Probably not that great as far as being healthy on a food level though. Long stretches of not eating and then when I did eat it wasn't very healthy.... But all in all, probably stayed under my calories.... I started to do my food diary on Saturday, but then just…

Just checking in real quick. I've been having a busy weekend with company from out of town. Things will be back to normal tomorrow and I will catch up on the postings!! It also looks like there's challenge(s) to start tomorrow?! Have a great day!!

Hi Everyone!! My name is Melanie. I'm glad to see you here, Dena! As I was reading through, I noticed all the ages and thought I was going to be way out of place! I'm 43, soon to be 44 on the 26th of this month. I live in Washington State, USA. I'm a single parent. I left my daughter's dad when they were 1 and 2, and now…

Hello! So, yesterday...I did well on my water. I didn't do any more calf raises so I'm still at 120 out of 400. I ATE A SALAD!!! And I probably got about 7 hours of sleep. I think that's it!! Have a great day everyone!!

skinny dippers sounds good to me too!

I'd like to join in! :)

I am in awe. THAT is a success story if I ever saw one!! :) What program(s) did you use? Great job and obviously you've had some serious dedication and put in lots of hard work. You show that it does make a difference and pay off!! Great inspiration!! Thank you for sharing!!

Good morning! Well yesterday I did okay on some points and not so well on others.... I drank about 100 oz of water...I lost track once I left work but I'd had 3/4 of a gallon at that point, then went to Jazzercise class and had more.... I did 90 calf raises, so 370 - 90 = 280 remaining. I didn't get quite 8 hours of sleep.…

Welcome to the site! I'm pretty new also...from just across the northern state line in WA. Feel free to add me if you like!! :) Have fun and enjoy the site!! I'm enjoying it so far, for sure!

Thanks for that, shoppie!! I'm amazed by your stick-to-it-iveness!! :) I was once upon a time in the Army Reserves. I went through Basic Training. Push ups were always my weakest thing. I couldn't do a single one when I arrived at Basic Training (women had to be able to do at least one to enter basic training) so I had to…

HI! I just came across this...I think I'd like to join in!! :) I'll have to see tonight what I can do for a starting point. I can tell you for sure that I can't do a single push-up!!

Good morning! Thanks for the welcome!! I'm liking it here on this site so far! Lots of nice people here. Ok, challenge-wise....was water part of it? I think it was previously and then it just continues on, huh? Well, I'm down in that area from my personal goal. Had about 6 cups of water - so 48 ounces. I like to aim for a…

Hi! I'd like to join in!! I guess I showed up just in time for the new challenges! The calf raises seem like the easiest portion - the salad a day is going to be tough, and so will getting 8 hours of sleep a night. I'll start today - not sure if I have salad fixin's at home though.... I'm focusing on water, water, water…
