Wow, nice challenge! Game on!!! :ohwell:

I've been working on level 1 for a while now. At what point is it a good idea to step up to lvl 2?

I can definately do this pose, but sometimes it can hurt..... seems to happen if I don't sleep well the night before :blushing:

Merry Christmas!!!!

Sorry for the late post.... as of yesturday (Sunday, Dec. 23rd), burned 3083 calories total.

347 more calories burned! YAY, even kicking butt on a snow day!!!

12/19 - 501 calories burned!!! :bigsmile:

420 calories burnt today!

12/17 - 479 calories burned! :laugh:

Nice challenge. Are we looking at beating one another on a daily basis, weekly basis, or both?

397 calories burned - 12/11 396 cal - 12/12 1270/4000.....2730 more calories to go!

Do you have a recommendation for a good HRM? I looked them up online, but I would want one that is super easy to use and accurate.

No, I don't have a HRM. I've been using the myfitnesspal data base as far as calories burned.

I don't get it.... I worked out doing a 20 minute Jillian Michael's kickboxing workout, sit-ups, food prep, shoveling snow, walking the dog, etc., yet I only burned 477 calories. What am I doing wrong? I see myfitnesspal friends burning way more calories is less time. I feel like I'm working my butt off, yet not even…

That's what I'm talking about!!!! That's 572 daily if you work out 7 days a week. I need to hit 800 cal burn daily, since I'll only be able to work out Monday thru Friday this week! :bigsmile:

2014 calories burnt this week total.... after black Friday shopping, walking Leon, and cross training after work. Plus, didn't go up for Thanksgiving seconds! Mission completed.

664 calories burnt so far this week... 400+ calories burnt yesturday alone. I feel so much better after running again! Besides yesturday, my workouts only consisted of walking my dog in the morning.

I feel like I'm failing at this challenge... only completed 12 miles this week so far :sad:

2.5 miles down.... 19.5 to go. My puppy is going to hate me this week, lol!!!

It's on! This is just what I need to kick my butt back into gear!!!!

I'm planning on continuing to watch what I eat, and hopefully start stepping up my exercise. I've been kind of lazy lately. Just no motivation to work out after work. Black Friday should be an awesome workout.... start shopping at 12am - about 10am! Whoo hoo!!!

So are I'm eating well, but cannot bring myself to exercise. I feel like being sick and recovering has just drained my energy completely. Luckily, I got my butt in gear and walked Leon (my yorkie) today.

I'm in! I like the idea of trying to eat better as part of the challenge. I've met with a dietitian several times about portions and what my plate should look like, but it's a struggle to plan these things out and meet calorie goal as well. As far as trying something new...... I would like to try zumba or JM's buns and…

I've never done the 30 day shed, but it sounds interesting. Can someone explain to me what kind of workout it is (besides the typical "JM is going to kick your butt" workout)? Please give me an example of a typical workout on this.

Hate to say it, but I'm out this week. Being sick is not helping my motivation. Sticking to my 1200 calorie meal plan and walking Leon, my yorkie, in the morning.

I try to pre-plan what I am going to eat the day before. 1200 calories is tough. I'm either 100 calories over or like 60 under. Any thoughts or suggestions on a great meal or day of meals/snacks?

Hello everyone! I'm Amanda from Wisconsin. Looking to get in shape for my wedding, Oct 5th 2013. I heard about myfitnesspal from the dietitian at work. My workouts began as training for a 5k mud run back in June. Now I'm not running as much due to time constraints, but have picked up JM fast fix kickboxing and yoga melt…

100 sit-ups 40 Push Kicks 100 Crunches 200 Jumping Jacks 30 Squat Jumps 30 Donkey Kicks..... Wowsa!!

Wow, this challenge is going to kick my butt! I'm totally in :D
