Challenges for the week done. Yay! Friday about killed me with those globe jumps! A total of five miles for me towards last weeks pledge done. Alright, how do these points go again? Weight: .5 (yep, half again but at least it is the right direction) Daily challenges: 6 (one for each day right?) Team challenge: recipe…

Whoa! You rock!

Way to go! Woot woot!

Crunches and mountain climbers done. Did 100 total because I was not sure if 1 was left then right or if each knee up was one. So I counted each knee up as one which totaled 100. Biked 2 miles with my daughter who has only been riding two wheels sine July 4th. Then walked a mile with my dog. The mile will count to my…

Hey Tracy, how are we in pledged miles? Will we make our 100 miles this week based on what was pledged? I could throw more in on Friday after work, if necessary, but I can not squeeze it in until then and Saturday.

Boy, you guys and all your extra miles this week! Way to go! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I am feeling so bad because I barely have time to get my regular miles in this week, never mind the extra. I did do 1.45 extra on Monday and 1 extra on Tuesday, despite the chaos, but that one…

Excellent idea! See, that's why I love this team!

Okay, I have a question for Day 5. 100 Stair climbs... what if you have no stairs to climb? I live in FL where everything is pretty flat and on one level. :blushing:

Hi there! Welcome to the team!

It is always sad to see someone slide away. Hoping everybody looks at this as a new lifestyle, not a quick diet. Anyway, I have two of my active online friends that would like to join us. I think they are both good candidates for this team. 'Sharesb' and 'Jenny_fur'. Let me know.

I have a friend, Sharesb, who would like to join.

My recipe is a new recipe in my kitchen but a quick favorite and so easy. Fiesta Lime Chicken 1 lb boneless chicken breast 1 cup Margaritaville margarita mix (but you don't consume it all - just for marinate so I only used 4 ounces when calculating calories) 1 cup salsa (adding more does not add many calories) Kraft 2%…

Just back from a weekend camping trip on the ocean. Was a great time. It was really difficult to stay in my calories but I DID IT!!! I did it because of the challenge. If not for this challenge, I would have said two days off were okay, but thankfully, I did not. THANKS TEAM! It was an active weekend but I made sure to add…

I'll pray for you if you pray for me! I did 25 this morning. Still have 15 more to go when I get home later, much, much later.

Hump Day check in (otherwise known as Wed, Day 3). Water - check Calories - check Crunches - check Let's go Skinnies!

Tuesday challenge done. Walk/jogged 3.5 miles instead of my usual 2-2.5. Drank plenty of water. (I stop counting after the end of the work day when I have 8-12 down already). Under calories for the day...check. I have to say, it was the challenge that kept me from having snack last night and pushing me over by 25 calories.…

Jumping jacks --- check - and who knew my front shoulders would ache now. Water --- check Calories --- check We are off to a great start!

I have 40 jumping jacks down then hurt my knee. I'll take a break and give it a go again later. I hate jumping jacks because I hate landing with my legs out like that. I have had bad knees since a car accident 12 years ago. I push in many other ways, but that out landing scares me. But, a challenge is a challenge. Okay,…

Ready to start. Will have to do the photo tomorrow. Just checking in before bed and noticed. Have to get my husband to take one tomorrow. 100 jumping jacks, here I come. Just have to let you all know, that is a big challenge for me as I have not been able to do a real jumping jack in quite a while. I am afraid of hurting…

Well hi everybody! My name is Karin and I am from central Florida. I am 40 something (who can remember anymore?) :bigsmile: and a mom to 4, ages 24, 21 (serving in the USMC), 14, and the princess is 8. I am an accountant for a small action sports marketing company. The office gets lonely at times. I stay busy as a Brownie…

Still room? I need to get this weight moving down! Needing a good challenge that does not involve just myself.

I watched it too. S-T-R-A-N-G-E! What WAS she doing!?! The whole demeanor between the two of them is odd!

Going to have to try that. But now I have to go buy a new popsicle maker. I always buy them, use them then toss them when the kids are not eating them for too long. I bet my daughter will love this too.

I am just about 5'7". My goal weight is 150-160. I have been down to 150 as an adult and loved how I looked then. I even wore a bikini. I would love to be there again.

That is awesome! Congrats to you! Keep up the great work!

Ooh, sounds yummy. I have been buying the fresh black bean and corn salsa from Wal-Mart. This sounds delish. May just have to try it for this upcoming weekend.

Sent you a friend request. I am a mom to 4. I still have about 37lbs to go to get to my first goal. I too gained a good amount of this weight in the 2 years after we moved from NY to FL.

You look fantastic! You are so kicking butt! All of your hard work is paying off! I love it! And you motivate me daily! The picture is still oversized but you can right click and 'view image' to see the whole photo!

I had purchased a Timex Ironman HRM. I used it for about 4 months. While I loved it, it was easy to use and the HR part of it worked great, I was concerned it was greatly overestimating calories burned. It did not ask for height, gender, or age. I bought a Polar FT7 when I could. It was a disappointment at first because I…

It looks like you had a blast. I have to find somebody to do one with down here in FL. I want to but I need some prodding to not chicken out.
