Team Lavender 75 crunches, 115 squats, and 0 pushups

Team Lavender! Tuesday - nothing (my first day of my new job) Wednesday - 100 crunches, 35 pushups, 75 squats Thursday - 100 crunches, 40 pushups, 75 squats

Team Lavender! : 200 crunches, 100 (girlie) pushups, and 100 squats. :)

I am STOKED!! This exactly the motivation I needed to do these types of exercises. Good luck everyone! :)

I'm looking to focus on thighs, abs, and upper arms now that I've pretty much met my GW. :) But I am open to other challenges as well! :)

I completely agree with the Vit D thing, I have only been here in Alaska for about year and I was SO depressed when we first moved here, and all I wanted to do was sleep all day. After I started taking the Vit D that changed a lot. It can't hurt to try it. :)

One, don't do it. Period. Taking laxatives to have a better weigh in becomes addicting, and I don't know of anyone who has tried this and hasn't become addicted to doing it including myself. Two, (TMI TIME) when I was doing this, it took me FOREVER to get my body back to having regular BMs on its own when I quit. Your body…

Just finished my 100 challenge for the day. Maybe by the end of the week I won't feel like I am dying when I finish it. :P

Sounds great! I'm going to have to substitute a few of those to accommodate my foot, but I will definitely substitute them, not cut them out! Good luck everyone! Stay motivated! :)

Checking in with 241 cals, Team Skinny!

I am SO sorry to Team Skinny. I feel like I have been a total let down. I didn't burn any calories Thursday and I only burned 191 Friday. And so far today I have only managed to burn 262, I did an hour of Zumba, but what I thought was a broke or jammed toe, turned out to be a small fracture in my foot just below my pinky…

623 calories for me today, Team Skinny! I normally don't log my cleaning, because it's part of my everyday routine, but I did my regular cleaning plus a ton of seasonal heavy duty cleaning that included carrying heavy boxes up and down 3 flights of stairs. Sadly, I broke my toe while going down the stairs, lol. Not too big…

Gosh I am pretty embarrassed! Only burned 261 calories today, and my eating has just been 100% horrible. I am determined to get back on track tomorrow, with my eating and exercise! I need to get this last 10 pounds off, and more importantly, I need to not let my team down! So sorry team skinny, tomorrow will be better, no…

288 for Team Skinny! I had a workout planned but had today was one of those days where things come up and things just don't go as planned. But, at least I managed what I did. :) Ready to do double workouts tomorrow!! :)

I am so excited for the new challenge!! I'm going to make a point to work extra hard this week so I don't let anyone down! I am so glad I completed the abs challenge, and I love the little 8 minute ab workout that I think I'm going to continue doing it! :)

Been so busy I forgot to check in the last 2 nights, but did my ab workout every night before bed! Gonna do it again tonight before I go to bed. :) I keep fluctuating between 130 and 128, but this morning I am back at 128.2 after being stuck between 130-131 for a week or so, so maybe I am finally on my way to 125!! Great…

Wow, that is intense, and the first workout I have done in weeks! I start my Zumba DVD's tomorrow as well. :)

My "me" time for today was taking the time this morning to pluck my eyebrows, LOL! Not that I walk around with big bushy eyebrows all the time, I just usually don't have time to sit down and take my time to make sure they are perfectly shaped, I usually just get what's in the middle and the most obvious scraggly ones.…

I haven't left I promise! I have been reading everyone's posts and you are all doing so great. As for my silence, I won't bore you with all the details, but I just kinda had to back off for a little while and not worry so much about losing weight as being healthy. I was just in a bad place mentally and had unrealistic…

Love the second one! :)

Final weigh in is 130. Not exactly what I had hoped for, but not horrible. :)

Is there a way to do these without making stomping sounds? My neighbor below isn't very appreciative of this weeks challenge, LOL! xD

Congrats to everyone who met the challenge for last week, and good luck to everyone for this week's challenge. I can't wait to see what it is! I took last week off and made a vow not to weigh myself for a month, buuuut... I weighed myself this morning, LOL! I couldn't help it. I had to know just how much I gained during…

I kind of fizzled out and gave up on even trying to complete this weeks challenge, just because I was so stressed out about my weight and felt like I was mentally in a bad place, and I just had to take a week off so that I could take a step back and reevaluate my goals and eating/exercise plan. But I am ready to start back…

Sorry for the late check in! No change this week, and met all goals.

Probably the strangest place I have randomly decided to log something on MFP was in the middle of a mosh pit at a concert... or the toilet at the gym. :P

That is so awesome, I'm so excited for you!! :D I guess today was sort of a rest day for me, I didn't make it to the gym because my left hip is kinda sore from yesterday's workout. I did do a lot of heavy duty cleaning around the house, though, from 5am until about 9:30am. Between laundry, scrubbing down both bathrooms,…

Great burn everyone!! I am checking in with 660 cals burned for today. :)

Didn't make it to the gym today, but will go every day this week, hopefully. According to my logs last week I burned around 2500 cals, so I am going to try and push myself to burn 3000-3500 cals. :)

Good morning everyone!! I can't wait to start the challenges today! Last night after I went to bed I had some major sweets cravings, and decided to give in and much on some stuff so that hopefully I could satisfy my major cravings and focus on being good this week. I had a rice krispy treat, 3 reduced fat oreos with 8 oz…
