Thanks for this. I needed it. I *know* I should eat more but I'm only just starting to realise it. I frequently binge like CRAZY when I'm eating 1000 kcals or less and then end up miserable. :grumble: If I eat a sensible amount of calories, I will be able to get those pounds off a lot easier. I need to sit down and…

Reporting in today: 1. Any type of cardio exercise, for 180 minutes -- So far 327 2. 300 jumping jacks, 300 Sit Ups, 300 lunges - 310 Jumping Jacks; 300 Sit Ups/Crunches (hurt my back doing sit ups so had to modify), 300 Lunges/Squats (I have problem knees so 300 straight lunges would have killed me running for the week so…

Same here! Still around - just working on the final bits to the challenge so that I can hopefully post a full completion :)

Sir, I take my hat off to you. :bigsmile:

New exercise completed - Boxercise. I remain unconvinced as the class seemed a bit...meh. :grumble: Still, it was exercise!

Failed miserably but i'm firmly back on track for the next challenge.

Resolutions - continue with a "balanced" approach. My weight is already at goal (or round about thanks to Christmas! :grumble: ) but I need to keep it there. I'd like to register for some more 5Ks and perhaps increase my distance some.

Hmm - favourite work out...I like running, Jillian Micheals, Body Attack and weights.

Regular gym goer here but my gym is closed tomorrow so I'll be out for a run instead.

I'm in again - these are fab little challenges. Thanks!

Did it - forgot to post last night!

Nice post Dreamchaser. :flowerforyou: Firstly, I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas and that Father Christmas bought you everything you could want (even if that's just a sit down for a few days as it is for me!). Goals for 2013 health and fitness wise for me? Well, having got to goal weight I'd like to stay that…

I'm in!

Hi Dreamchaser - I noticed the lack of activity as well. I'd been enjoying the advent calendar challenge as well. Sorry to hear about the flu - nearly everyone in our office has had it of late. I had a mild touch in November so was relatively lucky by all accounts. Thanks to this group I reached my goal. I hope to find…

330/180 210/200 100/100 Good times - hope everyone is enjoying the run up to Christmas.

Carmennorth - what a time of year to get pneumonia, right before Christmas! I hope you are feeling better or on the way to better at least! :flowerforyou:

Agree with that wholeheartedly!!

Cardio : 190/180 Jumping Jacks: 210/200 Sit Ups: 100/100 I declare myself done (at least for the day, I'm knackered!) Really loving this idea though. Made me rush home just to finish off my bits for the week (out tomorrow for the Team Christmas Do). Hope everyone is getting on well and once again, thanks for this thread.

Cardio: 73 mins Jumping Jacks: 210 (I can't add up clearly!) Sits Ups: 25 I forgot how much calorie burn you get from jumping jacks!

As the title says December 9-15 I reckon you have to try to complete the exercises during this week. That's my understanding anyway. :happy:

Made a start!! Really nice idea. Thanks.

Love this - I think we all need matching capes that say "Team Awesome" (or is that going a bit too far?! ) :laugh:

Well, I'm not low carb per se, I do monitor my carbs as I can go CRAZY with them (particularly bread, loooovvvveee bread). I tried a lot of the fad diets in the past so I know a lot of things don't work for me (however, I am a firm believe of "each to their own" when it comes to picking diets). Food challenges sound like a…

Morning. I wouldn't mind joing this fab sounding group! :happy: I'm nearly at goal but now comes the hard part...maintenance! I love my exercise but challenges are a great way to keep me interested as I find I can get bored of the same things all the time. I love that it this runs through Christmas as well because I am…

pixtotts - 110 squats?! You will have a fantastic backside at that rate!! :smile:

Loving this challenge!!

Loving this as I am a sucker for advent calendars in general. Done the press ups!! Thanks Charlottina and glad to see you back after being away and poorly. :)

Nice job. The seemingly small things like that can really spur you on. So to you it may be "just" 3lbs but its the start of something bigger and by the looks of your ticker you're going great guns!! :happy:

I've not gone without chocolate completely but I have certainly seen a reduction in what I've eaten - admittedly I don't eat a great deal of chocolate to begin with but it made me aware of it. I'll be wandering round the local Christmas Market at the weekend so that will mean hot chocolate to warm me up.

Lol - that was my initial thought. I will be logging on and doing what I can to ensure I don't obsess too much but also just to keep me in check (binge eater here!).
