Also want to add I haven't drank any coke or caffiene for five days now!! WOO-HOO! I was drinking the regular Coke and was easily consuming 3/4 of my daily calories in the stuff. My tummy thanks me by not being so bloated!

I am here and I love reading all of your posts. It was a crazy and busy fun week-end. Halloween parties, a church harvest party and trick or treating. Then Monday I worked my 5 hours and took dh to a doctor appt in a town an hour away. Tuesday I worked the election polls for 13 hours and when got home needed to help the…

You are doing awesome!!! I am lagging behind!

Jack, thanks for the chart and just keep chugging along, you can do this!

My mom and I walked two miles today, slowly getting there! :smile:

I am participating in a 100 mile before Thanksgiving but this will keep me going through Christmas. I walked / jogged 4 miles today!

Just got back from a 4 mile walk / jog - Man it felt great to be back out there! :smile:

Thanks - why does this make you mad?

I just ran 2 miles with the Wii. I have no idea how accurate this is but it has to work for tonight because it has been pouring down rain for three days and I can't go to the gym with a sick family. Hope this counts!

Just popping in to say hi, hope everybody has a great week-end! :flowerforyou:

Jack, the chart looks wonderful, great job! Thanks! I have no idea what challenges you have all been doing but I would like to challenge you all to exercise at least 15 minutes per day. It can be a simple walk, stretches at home or whatever not. Maybe you already do this so make it a bigger challenge to yourself. Have a…

Awesome job everybody, today was crazy busy but managed to squeeze in 1 1/2 miles on the threadmill. Total 8.5 miles, need to make up for it tomorrow. :flowerforyou:

I have been working on it for a couple of months now as I can. :smile:

DoDo, this is what I did. I was so proud I posted it as soon as I got home from the gym! :tongue:

You are doing awesome, you are a 10th of the way there already! :smile:

Three miles on the elliptical this morning, had to push myself at first to get going, but I eventually got in the groove!

I got 4 miles in today! Good job on everybody who started today!

Looking forward to the new thread! Had an awesome walk / run tonight. Hope you are all well!

A month until Thanksgiving, a month to do 100 miles, lets get going!

Woo-Hoo - you are making great progress. Keep up the good work and before you know it there will be a "1" in the front number on that scale! :flowerforyou:

Today's weight is 162.5 pounds - 3.5 lbs down from last week. Calories to burn this week - 3250 I definitely didn't hit the calorie goal this week with sick kids, the surgery and sick me. Here is to a new week! :drinker:

I lost 31/2 pounds this week, feel that is a great start to this challenge! Hope everybody is having a great day!

Good job on the losses, I weigh-in in the morning, will report then!

Lisa, I quit my 40+ plus hour a week job two years ago but have since went back to working for 5 1/2 hours on Monday. With my youngest's disability I was needed at home far more than I was needed at work. I have to be honest though I was so excited about quitting and had all these plans for when I quit and I even started…

Lisa, we still have lots of animals, 5 goats, 15 ducks, 2 geese, 5 turkeys, 1 pig, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and over 100 chickens. We raise alot of our own meat and the of course we have fresh eggs. We also have a huge garden and lots of fruit trees. It rained here today most of the day, great grand-parents came and took the…

I am under the impression that the treadmill is fine. I think it is however we want to do it. I am planning on adding my elliptical miles on it so I am hoping that is okay! :smile:

It works for me because as a mom of three the gym is not always possible. I can get on their and burn some calories. It is fun and there is lots of activities but I think only a few of them get your heart rate enough to be consider exercise.

Lisa, I haven't had the best luck with fish either. My dd has a fish that she has had for over two years and I am pretty sure that sometimes she goes a week without feeding the thing although I do remind her every couple of days. I am sorry to hear about your fish dying though. I have no idea where we have animals buried…
