OOOHHH I forgot that I bought the Ultimate Fighter (or some MMA type game) that has exercises on it for the Wii. I also play Wipeout with my daughter. It's the most ridiculous game but such a hoot to play! Marie

Just did 45 min (40 kickboxing and 5 min stretches) for 504 cals and that brings my total for the day to 833 burned. I've had 100 oz of water already and it's only 6pm. I will definitely be within my cal goal! :) If I don't drink water I'm physically thirsty. I hate that feeling! And my rings don't fit well either. Need…

New exercises anyone? I'm always look ing for more variety. Currently I regularly play hockey, kickbox, treadmill and lift weights. To that I will add elliptical (HATE IT!!!) stationary bike (HATE IT!!!) and a rowing machine. I also do many squats throughout the day... when I'm washing my hands, waiting for the microwave…

Hopped on the treadmill for a quick 30 minutes. I own a business and 2 of my employees and I are on this journey together so we work out after work (we have a 'health center') and it is a HUGE help to have them holding me accountable! My friends through hockey are also on this site but they have mostly fallen off here.…

Today I exercised 85 minutes (25 on the treadmill in the morning and 60 minutes in a hockey game) for 927 calories burned. I drank a lot of water, definitely over 100oz. I ate below my total cals, but had a lot of extra to consume due to the exercise but I just could not eat any more. I know there will be days where I am…

OMG that is going to be a HUGE spreadsheet!!! Thanks for being a great organizer. :wink:

I'm also going to include my water intake and exercise. It will help me stay on track. I have to start walking the walk! Tuesday: 25 min treadmil, 263 cals burned MarieB

Because I have mulitple real life friends on MFP with me I respsectfully decline to post my actual weight. However, I did weigh in this morning, logged my new weight and I'm headed to the treadmill. I also have a hockey game tonight so that I look forward to. :smile: I will check in later to see how everybody is doing.…

I'm in for sure! I have more than I care to admit to lose, but I'll start with the first 20 in this challenge. That puts me at about 1.5 lbs per week which is completely reasosnable. My biggest challenge will be drinking during the summer. I know that makes me sound terrible, but we own a house on a lake and we have…

I'm doing it again but putting my goal at 6000 burned. I have a LOT of planned hockey games this week and want to make sure that I still exercise on my non-game days. Yay! I'm not really losing any weight but I enjoy the fact that I am staying active. Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday:

I changed my goal to 5000 based on the fact that I got in 3 games of hockey today and ended up with extra cals burned. Tomorrow will be an upper body and ab workout. My legs need rest!

I forgot all about this challenge! I've gotten quite caught up in life and work so I've missed being on MFP. I'm back and this is great motivation to stay on track!

Week 2 for me. Last week I missed 5000 by just 74 cals! I will go for 4200 this week. MarieB

Lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy fats, dairy... what do you like? Do you cook? Do you have any dietary restrictions? I'm sure if you look around the message boards you will find a wealth of information and ideas. I've gotten some great recipies off here too. And I always like to try new foods too.…

I strongly disagree with hollyberry201. You ARE supposed eat the calories back. Now that doesn't mean have an ice cream sundae, but you should eat them back with healthy choices. See my brief explination above.

YES eat back your calories. If you are set to eat 1200 calories per day that is the MINIMUM you should consume. Doing that alone, without exercise, is a healthy way to safely lose weight. If you add exercise to the equation then you should definitely 'eat back' the calories to prevent you from falling into survival mode.…

I always use a chicken or beef stock when making it, otherwise it lacks flavor IMO. Personally I like it just like that as an alternative to rice. You can make the entire box, eat it hot as a side for dinner and then put the leftovers in the fridge for the next day. Take the cold quinoa, add any veggies you enjoy -…

Another thing to consider is how much you are eating, (and to echo other posters, how much water you consume and allowing for muscle recovery is also very important). If you are doing all of this intense working out on 1200 cals a day intake then it's not enough. You must appropriately fuel your workouts. Do you wear a…

Remember it's not all about a number! I am 5'5". The day I got married I was 123 lbs and a size 6 or 8. At that time I approached it as calorie restriction and I was not very active. I would walk, but overall, no sports or weight lifting. I was thin and now, looking back, I must have had ZERO energy. Then, four children…
