I am SO frustrated! Thanks to weather yesterday and today schools have been closed. No chance to go to the gym. I'm putting a Precor elliptical on my Christmas list next year! I'll have to settle for burning calories at home today but am not getting any elliptical miles in. Holding at 29 for the month so far...

Yes, ma'am it was a December Elliptical Challenge to go 50 miles (or more) on an elliptical this month. I'll get past 50 as well, but not as far as you! Of course, if I had one in MY living room... ;-) Keep it up!

Only got 2.3 done yesterday but am still on clear course for more than 50 by end of month. Going to raise the bar for January!!! Keep up the great work everyone! (vhuber is pulling us along!)

nakitadawn: Keep rockin' it. You can make the 50 mile mark! vhuber: my prayers for a good strong recovery for your mom. Off to the gym for me after dropping my son at school. No bus this morning because he had a concert last night and is being a typical teen this morning. Gym about 8:00 eastern, so by around 9 I'll have…

Thanks to circumstances beyond my control I didn't get to the gym today to get my elliptical time in. TOMORROW MORNING I'll be there as soon as my son is on the bus. Strides per mile... I can check for you tomorrow. I go 120 strides per minute for 33 minutes to get 2.3 miles. Doing the math that means about 1722 strides is…

4.6 scheduled for me in the morning will put me over 30. I think in January we'll have to make this a 75 mile challenge? Keep going!!!

no elliptical time for me yesterday or today. HOPEFULLY I can get there in the morning to get some time in. Teaching Monday and Tuesday but for sure I'll get time Weds, Thurs and Fri this week. Hoping to pass the 40 mile mark by Friday the 17th. Keep it up everyone!

eh... I've got FAMILY who won't talk to me and haven't in close to a decade now. There are FAR too many positive people in my life for me to sweat the negative ones...

another 4.6 miles down... total of 26.7 for the month so far!! Past the half way point and just have to insure time put in as we get closer to Christmas. Keep up the great work everyone!

I like that "100 mile move your @$$ challenge" idea though. I think I'll have to do that in January. Going to SHOT Show in Vegas and I'll walk (on average) about ten miles per day for five days... I OUGHT to lose a few pounds there.

VHuber is going to kick ALL our butts!!! I didn't get to the gym today; worked out at home and no elliptical here :-( Still... I'm at 22 so far this month so I'm almost half way to the minimum challenge amount less than 1/3 of the way through the month. Keep it up everyone!

The elliptical is my favorite because it's practically zero impact on the knees and back but you get a good level of calories burned. Additionally, he needs to check his nutritional balances. If he's shorting his diet in some places (i.e. not enough protein, or something) then his body might be clinging to calories.

darn, woman! You're going to make the rest of us look lazy!!! LOL

welcome to the new-comers and good job everyone!!! I didn't get there today but will tomorrow - late morning gym time scheduled. 66 minutes minimum (4.6 miles) but might go for 99 and 6.9 miles. I guess I should eat an extra few carbs for breakfast in the morning? Keep up the great job!

6.3 miles today... argh... my legs feel like noodles... LOL But my total's over 17 miles for the month so far - so 1/3 there in 1/5 of the month. If I can do this, YOU can do this! Keep on striding!!

Holey-schlamoley!! Almost half way to the goal and only six days into the month? THAT ROCKS!!! I guess I got some catching up to do... I'm aiming for six miles today when I get to the gym!

Ms. Vhuber - You are an inspiration!!!

Way to go everybody!!! Didn't get to the gym yesterday (but spent three hours up and down the ladder, hanging lights and raking leaves) and won't get there today (but will spend hours walking around a mall buying new clothes for my 13-yr old son). Monday I'll be back in the gym, on the elliptical and heading for 100…

Go, vhuber!!! Jbug: just keep track and when the month ends we'll post our totals. 50 miles in December = 1.6 miles per day minimum. See previous posts re: pace and time if your machine doesn't give you miles. anghahnmowry: You're already at double my total for the month!

vhuber: you're welcome!!! The gym I go to has precor machines and I actually do use those calorie counts (my HRM is on the fritz; gotta get a new one). However, I try to make up for that by not eating all my exercise calories and if I do any other exercise I take only half credit for any calories MFP tries to give me. Six…

I agree with what "AreWeThereYet" said... another option is pricing out the item and getting a giftcard to cover it?

Day two: To meet that 50 mile challenge for the month you should be passing the 3.2 mile mark some time today! (1.6 miles per day) For those of you not using an elliptical that will give you distance, I offer this suggestion for measure: Aim for 120 paces per minute for 23 minutes (approximately) per day. That should put…

count me! count me!! Yes, I'm male... but sometimes I feel more like the house b*tch! LOL

I have this problem but in reverse: my wife doesn't like to eat properly. So I cook for my son and I... she eats with us or not. I gave up trying but will not be fat just because it's easier...

Fight Club? Now I gotta think of a good one... *** I never liked a girl well enough to give her twelve sharp knives.

A "December Move Your *kitten*" Challenge? Now THAT'S funny... good idea!! I'm doing the December Elliptical Challenge... gotta stride 50 miles or more... got more than three of them knocked out today! have fun with yours!

True Romance? Hmmm... *** Let me tell you something, when you've been cops this long you are not fit for anything else.

It's December 1. Time to rock-n-roll! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Oh, I am SO glad I'm not "hubs" right now... :-)
