Good morning all! Monday's calorie burn 807 from walking and biking. Does anyone know is it possible to get a charlie horse in the muscle that is located on the outside front of the leg? I feel like there is a tight knot in that muscle and it really hurts. I did get almost a 1.5 miles walking on the treadmill this morning…

A great big welcome to all who have joined us in this challenge. I know it is almost mid month, but hope can at least do 2.5 pounds or better yet the 5 pound challenge. I tried the abs of steel today and I laughed I burned a whopping 54 calories doing the 20 minute workout. I may have to go back to the 30 day shred. I can…

Interesting challenge.....I will have to find the old abs of steel video tape and do that a few times this week. What a great idea! I was thinking about doing this to get some ab work done and now you have challenged me to do it. Thanks! I did not get any formal workouts in over the weekend, but went shopping, sorted boxes…

I am feeling that tiredness right now. I had a bad nights sleep and now I can't stop yawning!:yawn: :yawn: Hopefully a walk will wake me up. Its up to 3 kids this morning. One parent got called into work so now we get to take out the big stroller. Awesome job Phyllis and Megan. Keep up the great job!:drinker: :drinker:

January 1 starting weight for 2010 185.6 April 1 weight 177.6 April 9 weight 175.4 Down 2.2 this week. I am very happy with this.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I have the BYE BYE BUGGY by ANGELES. I think it weighs a little over 100 pounds while empty. I live up high in a river town so everything is downhill from here:happy: but the walk home is always uphill:noway: so the walk home is always a bigger calorie burn. Going up one hill yesterday I had my pulse at 160...talk about…

I love the stories of bizarre and weird. A few weeks ago the paper reported a story out of PA...(the town where they do the groundhog every year) about a man arrested for being drunk in public. Apparently he was in the middle of the highway trying to give mouth-to-mouth to an opossum that had obviously been dead for quite…

As annoying as you may find these ads, remember if the ads were not there you would have to pay for this sight!

I know in the past I was good at making excuses, but it comes down to "how important it is to you?" If it is important you will be able to find the time. We find time to watch our favorite tv shows. Why not do step aerobics while watching tv? Or during commercials drop to the floor and do sit-up, or push-ups? Instead of…

One of the problems I see with most people in regards to exercise is that they believe exercise means putting on different clothes and going to the gym or running on the treadmill. Exercise can be as simple as a walk around the block, dancing, going for bike ride, or running around the yard with the kids. For those who do…

My HRM sometimes jumps up to 212 and I know my heart is not beating that fast. Remember it is an electronic device and anything around it could cause interference. If it has never done this before while running I might be inclined to think it was some type of interference.

Welcome back! You have had a busy few weeks. It was so wonderful of you how you took care of friend. That was very caring of you. Glad to have you back. Sorry you had such a rough few weeks. Terri

I've done that one. No wonder you only "get" to do it every 10 years. It was nasty. Worse than any flu I have ever had.:laugh: :laugh:

I had not thought of that, but that is good point. I posted this because I have seen on other threads people who are afraid to eat after a certain time each night but in truth you have know your body, and work within your schedule. I know I have read that a protein and complex carb are the best night snacks. It just shows…

Good day to all. This is from April 2010 Runner's World Magazine (the article discusses diet myths). The Myth EATING AT NIGHT CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN The Truth Many dieters (I substituted the word dieters for the word runners because I think it applies to both) believe their metabolism plummets later in the day, which is when…

Phyllis, When I was in elementary school the PE teacher started every class doing GO YOU CHICKEN FAT GO AWAY! Loved it! Well I am having a pretty good Monday. I ate so much over the weekend I was afraid to check the scale today but it was only up by 2 tenths of a pound. My calorie burn for this week Monday 3500 - 700…

Half Marathon! :drinker: :drinker: That is so awesome. Here's to burning 3500 calories this week:drinker: Terri:smile:

Don't eat a Fiber One Bar then.....nasty gas!

WOW!!! That is so inspiring!:happy:

I am in for the 3500 calorie challenge. I usually plan my weeks from Sunday-Saturday. I will start Sunday. Terri

Warm welcome to all the newcomers. I am at the point of writing this week off and starting again Monday morning. The kids are at the grandparents so we have been "dating" and going out to dinner so we can talk without the distractions of home. Last night was some awesome Chinese food, but it was so salty. I drank so much…

I do not think you will find a very accurate one without a chest strap. The strap gives the watch a continuous reading. With the watch only ones you have to push a button to record your heart rate and you need to do this quite often if you want to get a somewhat accurate reading. I have one with a chest strap and it is not…

It is so awesome to see so many new faces. Friday is our official weigh-in but I know many of us posted our weight yesterday so for this first week it is up to you to decide if you plan to post your weight today or not. I am not going to just because I weighed the same this morning that I did yesterday. I was thinking…

Follow us to April Here is the link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/89323-5-pounds-a-month-april-2010-challenge Got the kids to the grandparents last night. Got home late= less than 5 hours sleep:yawn: :yawn: This will be a long day. Hope to see everyone on the April thread.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Terri

You more than did it. That's almost 7 pounds. That is so awesome. Keep up the great work! :drinker: :drinker: Terri

I plan to continue this challenge next month also. I think we have found a great group of supportive and dedicated people. Your drive sounds like the one we did on Christmas day. We left my parents and it was snowing hard with very little visibility. The drifts were so high we did not think the four wheel drive was going…

Look at you! You are almost 1/2 way to your goal. That has got to feel so awesome!:drinker: :drinker:
