Overacheiver - just kidding - great job!:laugh:

Happy Birthday!

Yeah team indigo!! I'm loving that my partner can exercise hard - sorry team mate... I'm still at least another 3 weeks till I can go hard at any exercise that involves the lower extremeties (knee surgery recovery) - I'll work extra hard at the upper body though - I'll look like Humpty Dumpty but I'll do it;) Haven't done…

LOVE the mini-challenge. Thank you! I soooo need to up my h2o intake! I'm also doing the push up & sit up challenge so 30 mins exercise will be ok:D

Cloverdale, BC (30 min's outside Vancouver) - GO CANUCKS GO!!!

It's great for both resistance and cardio! Try including hand paddles, pull-buoy, kick board, flippers, etc. for some variety to your swim. Aquacise is also great - many instructors include resistance in their sessions. You now have me thinking... I wish my swimmer's body back - guess I'd better hit the pool;)

Yay - I can do this one - laying on the floor doing crunches definitely won't hurt my knee:D Thank you and I look forward to participating once again!

Quesadillas!!

Love this - I soooo need to start increasing my strength! Initial test = 6 proper push ups - looking forward to 100 in 6 weeks:D

Weighing in (sorry, my weigh in day is today)... 163

I am, I am! West (or should I say wet;) Coaster here! Good luck on your goals - you'll love this site!

Uh oh... I can't see the link you sent so I have no idea who my partner is:( Too funny - can see it now that I've quoted it - weird! Thank you!

Yeah - thanks again - looking forward to see who my teammate is:D

Thanks so much for doing this:D

Yeah Team Paramore - great work! And... great work to everyone else this week - amazing losses!

Love it - count me in:D

Sorry, out this week - no squats or other exercise for me this week due to my recent knee surgery. Depending on next week's fitness challenge, I may be but no strenuous (sp?) exercising for me for at least 4 weeks...:(

I've always eaten 1200 cal's minimum. I almost always eat back my exercise calories but if not I try to eat back half at least. I've just started the zig zag thing 1.5 weeks ago - loving it so far and seems to have gotten me off the plateau. We'll see about how long I do that for or whether I go back to 1200 cals...…

hehe - I lurked on the message boards and have asked the same questions at one point or another;) Everyone is so great here!

Oops, that's right - I forgot it asked for your exercise level - I only entered sedentary activity as I have a desk job and don't move around much so... If I do exercise, I do eat those calories back... And yes, 5lbs following that in just over 1 week but... I'd been on a plateau for an entire month only eating 1200…

Those were the calories I needed to eat BEFORE any exercise - if/when I exercise, I eat all the calories I burn on top of the base calories I listed:D Bump means someone is interested in the topic so the 'bump' it so that they can find it easier on their profile page...

No - it's about your net calories... For instance - last week for me looked like this: Monday 1344 Tuesday 1344 Wednesday 1613 Thursday 1344 Friday 1344 Saturday 1479 Sunday 1344 I ate back any excercise calories burned and... I have managed to lose 5 lbs in just over 1 week:D

The 2 responses you have already are bang on. I use the tool mentioned in the first response - love it and do it regularly:D It got me off a 1 month plateau!

Bwahahaha! OMG - that is awesome - gotta love friends with a great sense of humour!

Loving this week's challenge - the flights of stairs are forcing me to get off my butt to go down/up stairs all day long to get more water:) I usually say 'I don't have enough time to walk all the way through the building to get the good water';) MON –Flights of Stairs: 6 ~ F/V: 7 TUES – Flights of Stairs: 12 ~ F/V: 6 WED…

Welcome - the more support, the better!

I'm only counting up the stairs also:) MON –Flights of Stairs: 6 ~ F/V: 7 TUES – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # WED – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # THU – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # FRI – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # SAT – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # SUN – Flights of Stairs: ## ~ F/V: # Total Flights of Stairs:…
