Well, here we are Christmas Eve. Although I have not lost 20 lbs, I am happy to report that I have lost 10 lbs so far. I don't think I could have done as well on my own without the challenge. Hope everyone else has done well and met their goals. Merry Christmas. Anna:smile:

Wow, today is Thursday, Thanksgiving Day and boy am I grateful for this good fall weather. . If not I would have not burned off so many calories bicycling this week. This is my fourth time this week. Today I rode for 1 hr and clocked 17 miles. Best this week. Thank God I biked or I would be way over on my calories with…

Sorry, I have been riding and not logging. Last sunday rode for 30 minutes about 9 miles. Monday used spin bike for 1 hr. Tuesday 1 hr and 16 miles Wed 1 hr and 13 mi. It's been chilling, however, still not cold enough to put the bike up permanently for the winter. Keep riding.

Cardio, cardio, and more cardio. Mix it up and confuse your body. It will work. Just keep moving.

I am trying to move every day. Today, hiked with coworker 1 hr 40 min then rode bike for about 30 min. Feeling good. Although a 2 week stretch w/o break is tough. Planning on taking tomorrow off to let muscles recover.

The most important thing to do is before you eat, ask yourself, are you hungry, stressed, etc. If you truly are hungry then measure it on a scale of 0-10 with 0 being not hungry and 10 being starving. About half-way through your meal/snack, reevaluate again and before you finish reevaluate again. Constantly asking yourself…

Hello everyone, Weigh in day today at 160 #, down 2 #'s. Thanks for the motivation. amp162

Wow, I can't believe how much I have been eating and not realizing it until it is figurately speaking in black and white. Day 1 was bad, however, once I started logging, I am more concious of what I am eating and choosing to eat. It is also amazing how many calories you can burn by doing simple household chores. At this…

That's a really tough question. I am 5'4 and 162 lbs right now. I think I look and feel my best around 145-150. Recently went to dietician and she said for my height and medium built I should be around 136#. Not sure how she came to that conclusion. However, books that I have read suggest 100 # for 5' of height and then 5#…

Today I cycled in an indoor stationery bike race for handicapped children. It was awesome, as well as challenging. We had a team of 4 and each team member had to ride for minimum of 10 min. We each rode 15 mins rotatining. It doesn't sound like a lot of time. However, 10 mins at full speed ahead was quiet challenging.…

So glad I found this cycling challenge. I love bike riding. I have a hybrid that I haven't touched since I bought my road bike. I also have a spinner bike for off season. I attend spin classes 2x per week with a great instructor. I will work towards 3-5 days spinning for November. I am doing my first indoor stationery bike…

Ok, I'm officially in this challenge. CW: 162 GW: 136 So 20 lbs is a great start. sounds better than 1 lb per week and 26 weeks.:smile:

Ok, I'm in. Starting at 162 lbs, goal of 136lbs. So 20 lbs is the majority of it. It sounds better than 1 lb per week for 26 weeks. I'm always up for a challenge. Good Luck to everyone.

Ok, I did 50 pushups. Thanks for the mini Challenge.:smile:
