Just got mine and am "Charging" it... Heh, puns are awful... Hoping to get my first full day of use tomorrow!

I have been slacking- haven't walked at all this week. Going to the gym after work today!!

I don't think there is a hard and fast way to "report" back- just post an updates or thoughts you have. The purpose of this is to make sure we all have support, but can still do things in a way that works with OUR lives!

I did my three for the week!! Woot!

I agree!! I have commented on some other threads but can't find them now. :(

Not too late at all!! Welcome! And thank you all for your energy- I'm excited to have a challenge that is completely realistic and doable! I have already done 2 this week and will do my third tomorrow!

Oh, and just a little info about me: My name is Mallorie I'm 40 years old and just graduated with my BS last May I clearly believe in "better late than never" and that is why I'm trying to get healthy now! Also, I'm a TV addict. Yes, that's a problem! (But watching Glee on Netflix keeps me on the treadmill longer at the…

Yay!! I'm so excited for all of us! Yes, Amanda, I am doing time not distance. We all have different paces and strides. I think it's easier to say 30 min and then we are all on equal ground! I used to use Map My Run but haven't redownloaded it since I got my new phone. Plus, I don't "run" :wink:

Is it too late to join? Name: Mallorie Age: 40 Height: 5'9" Start Weight (1st May): 244 Goal Weight (1st June): 234 1st May: 244 8th May: 15th May: 22nd May: 29th May: 1st June: Weight lost/gained this week: Weight lost/gained this month: Successes/struggles this week: Food is ALWAYS my problem- I love it!

I also added you. I'm looking to get fit and healthy for the first time in my life!

I think the challenge was only through August, so it is now over. Not that you can't continue to use what you learned and incorporate it into your life. Frankly, our team was strong the first week and then a few people kind of fell off the boards due to life.

Wednesday - circut training (24 mins) This will workout will have 2 different sets of workouts that we will do for 12 min each. How it works: Do all of the exercises in circut for 45 seconds with 15 seconds rest. Repeat circut A two more times. Rest for 1 minute. Do circut B three times. Circut A Push ups High knees Elbow…

We have all been a bit slacking the last week or two- Let's get back into it! Tuesday - (5-4-3-2-1 total body workout) 5 minute - Any cardio you want (walk, run, elliptical, bike) - If you are at home do 1 min high knees, 1 min jumping rope (do the motions if you don't have a rope), 1 min jumping jacks, 1 min run in place,…

Shelley, you beat me to it! Come on ladies- let's rock this week out!!!! Last week for the challenge- we can do it!

I forgot to mention the one that actually had me create this thread: Fasten my seatbelt without being aware of the width of my hips.

Here is today's workout and please remember I need your daily/weekly tally and weigh in tomorrow! Thanks. Saturday - total body 3 sets with 12-20 reps depending on ability level (30-60 sec rest). We are doing this as a circut workout so you will do 1 complete set of the 8 exercises before you start the 2nd set. This is…

I have started a new thread under motivation- it is not part of this challenge, but if you want to take a look and list some NSV goals, here you go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/718065-what-are-your-nsv-goals

Good morning!!! Here is today's challenge: Do 3 sets of 15 Butterfly Crunches - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=5ZBXpwsJHT0&NR=1 Windshield Wipers - (side to side is 1 rep) http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=3RjBYZJVytw&feature=endscreen Bird Dogs -…

Tonight will be a bit rough with all of those legs after my C25K- but I will do it! I am off to the salon to get my hair highlighted and ready for classes next week. BLONDE!! Yay!!! You can do it everyone!

I think for this one it's pretty straight forward: 2 points a day for not drinking anything with calories. Milk has calories, and I think that's just how it is this week. But don't worry- while yes, this whole month is a "challenge" I am looking at it as not just the team, but how I can use these daily and weekly…

LADIES!! I'm back! I had a pretty good time, but it was not terribly relaxing. It was my brother, my mother, and my 3 year old niece- sooo, I didn't get to sleep in at all and I was on alert watching for possible 3 year old issues all week. Still, it was the beach and warm. I didn't do great with the daily or weekly…

Keep it up everyone!! I am off to the beach for the week. I don't know how much I'll be on the boards (if at all) but Shelley is going to post the challenges for me cause she rocks!! I am going to do my best while at the beach to be careful with what I eat, and keep up with some working out. however, I WILL be enjoying…

Pen, sounds like you are working a ton. Good for even trying to stay on topic! I did my daily, I ate my veggies, and I TRIED to do my C25K. Unfortunately, I only got about halfway through before the lightning and thunder made me run home for cover. The rain was fine, but when fire may fly from the sky and hit me? Yea, I…

Thanks Shelley!! I did NOT do so well yesterday. I DID eat my veggies, but I could not get through the workout. My arms are still in pain from the bear walks or something and I got caught up babysitting my niece. Excuses, excuses- but not good ones. Tonight I'm gonna rock the abs! And do my C25K. Veggies for Wed: Celery- 1…

Help next week? I will be on vacation starting Saturday and will have limited access to the boards. I have the MFP app so I can continue to log, but I won't be able to check the boards everyday and post the daily/weekly exercises. Can one of you please volunteer to do that for me starting on Sat through next Sat? I will…

Here we go- today and tomorrow's challenges! Wednesday 8/8 - Total Body (15 min) Complete as many rounds possible in 15 minutes. Allow yourself 30 second rest between each different type of exercise. Dumbell push up row - x 8 Lying Knee Raised Crunch - x 8 OR clay if moderate x 8 (x12 if advanced) Overhead Squat - x8 Pull…

Holy bear walk! Shelley, you weren't kidding. Those were murder- especially if you don't have enough room to do it properly and end up having to turn around a ton of times. Did today's challenge, also drank 100 oz of water (I know it's not relevant anymore, but I am trying) and I ate my veggies: 3 cups of romaine 3…

Right there with you Shel! I always thought my legs were strong, but clearly they could use some help. I will be doing it as a circuit- probably two rounds of each. 1 min bear walk, 50 jumping jacks, 25 lunges, 25, squats, etc. and then I will fall face first into my bed. DON'T FORGET TO STRETCH!! It's especially important…

I went over in calories yesterday- but by about 40 calories, so I figure that's perfectly fine. Here were my fruits and veggies: romaine lettuce: 5 cups carrots: 1 serving asparagus: 2 servings strawberries: 2 servings Shelly, as for the bear walk, I think it is when you put your hands on the ground in front of you and…
