I'm so proud of all of you! We should have this challenge done in no time! Totally smoking Bravo right now (not that they aren't kicking the 365 mile challenges butt!). Vicky yesterday: 10 Vicky today: 6 Week Total: 48 Challenge Total: 100

Went from 107 to 105. :)

Vicky today: 6 Week Total: 32 Challenge Total: 84

I run first thing in the mornings and have no problems with the stomach stuff. Now I've run into it when running longer during the day. I know that walking long distances helps my dog go number 2, why wouldn't it help us??

Hey Mocatinho! Great burns! Do you want to join Alpha team since Charlie seems to have disappeared? Or I can add you to Bravo and give them a chance to catch up to Alpha ;).

My doggie daughter keeps me active as well. Good for the heart in more the one way right? Congrats on your new family member!

lol! great counter!!

You have so much variation including low impact activiites, I think you are likely doing just fine.

Everyone seems to be doing so well!! Today is my rest day. I've done 30 min on the elliptical and am trying to convince myself NOT to go running or I might hurt myself with the constant demand on my poor bones and joints. I use to HATE running. It only took about 5 years but I think I might finially like it!

Thx Jessica! I'll have to check that out!

Great job Alpha Team!! Vicky today: 0 Week Total: 16 Challenge Total: 78

1200 is the number quoted by everyone because 1200 caloric intake is the recommended lowest intake by ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) to ensure adequate nutrition (the concern being malnutrition NOT starvation). It's a generic safety net and may not apply to everyone. My understanding is that there is no actual…

Distractions are good for the munchies. Personally, exercise actually makes me less hungry... at least for an hour or two after a good workout... and gives me more calories I can eat! After a week or two, your stomach starts adjusting to the smaller portions per meal and it get's easier...

Someone check my math but I believe here are the group totals thus far: Alpha Team: 103.4 miles Bravo Team: 43.69 miles Both teams are well on their way to meeting the 365 goal!

Lol! The zombie shirts sound cool. Wonder what the race shirts say. Probably not as fun as I ate your brains... Lol!

Good point!

THX! I'll be sure to check it out... someone mentioned the zombie shirts on here... are they cooler?

Good to know they had fun! Get's me excited!! Hope you have a blast in October as well!

LMAO!! Sounds like there are a lot of people looking at Austin. That's the one I'm considering! Maybe it can be all of ours first!

Thanks for the info! I'm disappointed it's not a cool t-shirt. Thought it might be the best race shirt ever! Oh well. Would you consider doing it again? Not worth the money?

OK, I'm going to cap this weeks total at midnight EST. All other miles count towards next week. So everyone check in by then!! I'm going to start a thread asking for team totals. Anyone who is crazy enough to try all 365 miles on their own as an additional challenge let me know :).

Thanks for totalling everything rsmblue! We rock!! Totally going to kick the other two teams butts! Vicky today: 11 Week Total: 62 Challenge Total: 62 OK, I'm going to cap this weeks total at midnight EST. All other miles count towards next week. So everyone check in by then!!

Kristen, it's actually the Austin one I'm looking to go to! Maybe I'll see you there!! GilliamZoo, tell me how you like being a zombie! That sounds like fun as well! I hear the Warrior Dash is fun too! Everyone else, the website says they are growing. Let's hope for more and more adventures.

Yea, I wish there was more locations of this too. The one that I've found closest will occur during the winter :P after I move to another state! Lol! Still will be about a 2 hour drive though... Would definitely have to be an all day investment of time... I wonder if the after party that they mention is any fun... I've…

Just read the website more closely. You DO get a t-shirt, along with a medal saying you either survived or became a zombie, and a few other things. Still would love to hear if anyone's done this or anyone know anyone else who has... Bit of a shameless bump ;)

I think that's a WONDERFUL idea!! It'll help keep me motivated to lose these last 5 before the dress arrives!

By weight loss percentage or pounds? I'm close to my goal weight and firmly in a plataue so I'm totally going to lose but I'm game! Lol! 107 lbs

Well there are weight loss challenges, work out challenges, group challenges... what are people interested in?

MFP only gives me 1200 calories to play with (that's with it set at less then half a pound weight loss a week). What I find helpful is preplanning and plenty of workouts to help gain calories for food. Maybe consider eating only a little less and only working out a little more. Plenty of fresh fruits handy for the those…
