Weight for the week 246.4. At least I lost those 2 lbs from last week.

Ok, so my weigh in for the beginning of this one is 249.6. :grumble: I actually gained 2 lbs (darn cookie cake!!) but oh well, it's going to come off again. Anyway, my goal for this challenge is 225 lbs. And my mini challenge for the week is to burn 3500 calories. I'm doing good so far, burned a little over 900 today at…

I'm still working on how good mine actually is. It's made from the same people who made my HRM and I love it, but the pedometer doesn't seem quite sensitive enough. I almost have to slam my foot down to get a reading...maybe I need to move it on my waistband? Mine was under $10 at Wal-Mart, but it was the only one they had.

I bought a pedometer so that I can wear it this weekend first and see about how much I usually walk per day. According to the insert in mine, with a stride length of 18" (I have fairly short legs) 10,000 steps for me will only be a little over a 2 1/2 miles, so I figure that sounds doable. In fact, I usually go that far on…

So my final weigh in for this challenge is 247.2! 2 lbs under my goal! I will get a pedometer this weekend for that challenge. Good job everyone, see you all Monday!

Oh, I like the ideas about the walking challenge and the water challenge. I don't know how many people have pedometers, but maybe we could do a so many steps per week challenge also? As for dates, I know Claire and I both have children who have birthdays on Halloween, so maybe one of our challenges later in the year could…

My weight for the week is 250.4. I think I'll hit my goal of 249 for next week! And I will post all my get to know you info on Sat. I'm using my phone right now and its a little hard to type all that. Great job to everyone! :happy:

I'm up for the 3500 calorie burn, that sounds good. Especially since my husband and I got a Y membership last week. :happy: @Chili- It's my TOM also, not looking forward to weigh in either. You know, I've heard that women that live together tend to get their TOM together, but I never knew that women on a discussion board…

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Welcome poorcopies! This is a fantastic group, and very supportive. :happy:

I agree, I don't want to lose this group either, you guys keep me going! I'm also on board with switching weigh in to Monday. And speaking of, my weigh in for the week is 251.8. So happy to show a loss again! Great work this week everyone!

Thanks :happy: I guess it's a good thing I had those few M&M's as a send off then (thank goodness it's still Tuesday here!)

I like the idea of giving something up for lent. Of course, someone will have to tell me when it starts :smile: I think the toughest thing for me would be either facebook or chocolate...and I'm leaning toward chocolate. Which actually is a big deal for me, because I LOVE chocolate. Even now, I find ways to make sure I can…

Well, I have a gain this week :frown: I'm weighing in at 255.2, so I gained almost a whole pound. I'm not going to make excuses, I was really bad one day and it bit me in the butt. But, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to remember that in February I lost 5.5 total inches from my neck, bust, chest, stomach,…

My weigh in for the week: 254.4! Which puts me at a 21 lb loss since I started MFP on Jan 2! Also only 4 lbs from my target in our challenge. :happy: I'm actually wearing old shirts I haven't been able to wear in years. I hope everyone has an amazing week!

Well my weigh in for the week is 258.2, so another 2 lbs! And finally I can start to tell that my pants are getting loose. Chili- that sounds like fun with the EA 2, I hope to get it in the next couple months, and being able to do challenges with friends would definitely keep me motivated! Good luck this week everyone! I…

I missed the old challenge also. So are we still doing new challenges each week, or are we just shooting to burn 3500 calories each week? And I have absolutely no idea who I was paired up with, so I'm very sorry to my partner, to whom I have been pretty bad apparently :embarassed: For those of you that have the EA active…

The Asiago Peppercorn Steak was really good (the potatoes were excellent) and I was full until dinner.

I was able to see it. And I think I need to revise my original goal, when Texas first talked to me about it, she originally said 20 lbs, then I didn't see it was changed to 15 lbs until after I'd already started. So can I switch my goal to 249 lbs by 3/23? Please please please? :happy:

My weigh in for the week: 260.2. Yay, I made my goal of 260 by Valentine's Day!

I had an ok week. Weigh in today: 262.6. I guess its not to bad since I only did zumba once last week.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow's weigh in. I had trouble getting motivated to exercise this week. I did come in under my calorie goal each day, but it was close a few times.

You look great!

You absolutely can do this! My first two weeks were rough also, but I picked myself up, dusted myself off and got back on the wagon so to speak. This will get easier it will get better and you will get healthy! I believe in you!

Goal for the day: to actually find time to do my 50 minute Zumba workout! Have a healthy day everyone!

Name: Alaina Age: 28 Location: Joplin, MO Height: 5'6 CW: 264.2 (for the challenge, 275 from the beginning) GW: 150 final goal GW for 3/20: 244 Random fact: I will start my last year of my 20's four days after the challenge ends. What a good birthday present!

Am I too late? If not I'll post all my info tomorrow!

I was wondering the same thing Sunny_Skies. I always log it as general aerobics, but is there something else it should be logged under?
