Bump for later. So many great ideas,

Bump to read more later. Kids' track meet calls.....

Joining today and 50 done. 75 tomorrow? Ouch!

Ieeeey! I wasn't going to do it, then decided it was better than just plopping on the couch. Must confess I had to do them 50 at a time. I may not walk tomorrow! 100 on each leg. Waiting to see what you come up with for tomorrow. Thanks!

I am in and started today. Do we post results daily or weekly? I will go back and re-read the op to see if it was mentioned. Sounds like a great challenge. Goal this week: 180!

I am new to this, too, so I can't say what you should or shouldn't do. I have noticed that when I am really pushing myself, I really need that 60 sec to drink water, catch my breath, wipe sweat, and pray that my heart rate goes down before my next set begins. When I first started, I didn't push so hard, and 60 seconds…

Thanks for a great, concise explanation!

Has anyone else gotten started with this? I was told I was in, then didn't get anything. I PM'd the OP and never got an answer. Just wondering what's up.....?

32 pounds in 2 months?? That's awesome - congratulations!! I am still pretty new here and learning a lot from reading experienced people's posts. But I do know that you cannot spot reduce. You just have to keep working on losing the weight and it will come off where it will. It is great that you have started…

This sounds great. Please add me in as a tribute!

How great the two of you are working together on this!! Are you eating back your exercise calories? Although walking for 20-30 minutes won't burn a lot of calories, it does get you some. Are you checking your macros? That is the split of protein/carbs/fat for the day. Proteins will help to stave off hunger much better than…

I feel for your back pain! My lower back sometimes flares up badly when I am walking - whether treadmill or on the street (rarely when using the elliptical). I have found that stopping and doing some deep squats seems to release those low-back muscles. For me, just a few seconds - maybe 1/2 minutes of stretching/squatting…

I looked and looked for a hrm this spring. After doing a lot of reading and questioning, I purchased a Polar FT4. It has a chest strap and my only complaint is that it sometimes cannot read my heart rate. Usually after putting it on, I just wet my fingers and run them under the band which seems to do the trick. The watch…

I buy CytoSport from Costco. It comes in vanilla or chocolate flavor. A 6# bag costs almost $50, so it isn't cheap - but I don't know how it compares to other brands/stores. A scoopful has 27g of protein. I just checked the ingredients, and it does have some sucralose - it is listed #8 of the 9 ingredients, so not a lot,…

Thanks for the many great ideas!!

Looking for input on the correct way to do the barbell squat. On p 158 of the book, the 2nd picture shows the gal down to thighs parallel to the floor. On several youtube videos, proper form is shown as going way further - nearly touching the floor. It seems that would put a lot of stress on the hips/knees, of which I need…

Ouch. I rarely get more than 6 to 6.5 hours a night. While I am often tired, this feeling of exhaustion is new to me. I did take off several days of exercising and worked more time for sleep. I am feeling better, so I really think it was a combination of my usual lack of sleep and then adding in so much exercise on a body…

Tonight was my 2nd night working weights, and it was way harder than the first...probably because I am still sore from last time. Anyway... I made it through the reps except for the crunches. I prefer to do them at home. But in doing the lunges in the 2nd set, I just couldn't push through to 15. I made it to 10 and thought…

It's is probably a dumb question, and I have looked through several pages of posts but I don't see it asked anywhere... Last night was my first night in the free weights area. When I record my numbers, do I only put down the added weight? For squats, I only used an empty bar. So is that counted as 45 or as body weight…

Banana Kiwi Pineapple Almond milk Hemp hearts I love how it tastes, but it's definitely too much sugar. I'm not looking for any protein powders or anything, and I'm dairy-free... so what could I put in instead of some of the fruit? Spinach? (Please don't say kale ... I know it's healthy but I fricking hate that stuff)…

Thank you all for taking the time to read and reply!! Sleep... as the mother of 4 (3 at home) I NEVER get enough sleep!! :-) But usually 6-7 hours a night. A related problem is Restless Leg Syndrome. Oddly enough, my near-daily exercise seems to make it worse, but the fact that I then sleep so soundly seems to off-set it.…

Got off to a poor start with illness and a work trip out-of-town. But I did 1.5 miles on Feb 2nd and 3.7 miles on Feb 5 for a total of 5.2 miles on the treadmill so far this month.

Hello - I am new to the whole thing - exercise, MFP, and challenges. I will make my first goat 50 miles. Next stop - figure out how to get the ticker added and updated. Good luck everyone and thanks to those who set this up for us!!

Those are interesting ideas. I will give them a try. Thanks!!

I should have mentioned that this makes four batches of one dozen to sixteen rolls, depending on what kind of roll it is. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
