I have sore abs too--for me I'm pretty sure it was the sit-ups!! I thought today was the squat lunges....I'm glad I checked before doing them. I've done the Jillian Michaels DVDs and I'm doing Chalean Extreme now, so I am VERY, VERY familiar with push-ups--doesn't mean I love them.... Sorry--don't remember who wrote…

mmmmm, a cold orange sounds fabulous! and I have one in the frig--it's supposed to be for a soup I was going to make, but I have no idea when I'll get around to that and I wouldn't want the orange to go bad, would I? Just finished the 40 up downs, whew. Did half before my elliptical workout and half after--the first 20…

hoteffinmess--that is a fantastic attitude!! good for you!!

How's this for dedication--at 4 o'clock my hubby suggested going out for dinner, so I checked my remaining calories--I had a decent amount left for dinner at home, but not for eating out--so, I jumped on the elliptical for 20 mins, gave myself an extra 181 cals, ate well (even had a beer!) had a snack after I got home and…

Don't forget to enjoy it!!! IMO, that's just as important as tracking everything.

This is such a quiet group!! Where is everyone??? How is the challenge going for you all? Let's start sharing...I'll go first. So far (and I know it's only 3 days in) this has been an amazing experience. I was having trouble staying within my calories and this challenge put the motivation back into me. I wake up looking…

Got my 1 mile walk in this morning before it got too hot--the dog was happy about today's challenge. Already drank most of my water so that won't be a problem today. Abs and maybe elliptical today (although it's supposed to be my rest day). Good luck to the rest of my teammates!!! We can totally do this.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong--I do the standard copy and paste, but I can't get the parrot on my signature and I can't find the blog--any suggestions as to what to try next??? Got the 100 jumping jacks done--can you believe that, according to my HRM, it only burns 17 cals?? I would have thought it would more....oh…

Sunday's Starting Weight= 161 pounds 40 Burpees????? 40???????????????? Well, it is called a challenge.........

I also don't know what an "up and down" is. Do we post our daily results here? How do I put the image on my profile? (complete idiot with the computer...) I am SO excited about this! I've tried a couple of challenges before but never completed them, but in this case, with a team, I really think it's going to keep me…

Weight loss goal: 8 pounds (I tend to set goals too high and then get discouraged when I don't meet them, so I'm going to lower it a bit) Challenges--does each team set it's own "in house" challenges or will all the teams be aiming for the same ones? Will there only be weekly challenges or daily ones as well? Challenge…

Hi Gary, This sounds like it's going to be amazing!! Would you please add me to a team? Thanks so much!!!

Oh, I miss this group so much! I've been keeping up with the workouts--did Lean 1 this morning. Aghhhh--my calves feel it the most. Crawling up the stairs from the basement was torture. I loved it though. If you can love something like that..... I've been eating WAY too much and 99% of it isn't good food...I can tell from…

Oh my goodness--since Friday I have been living exactly the way I used to before I found MFP and started getting my life in order--eating without thought to quantity or quality--skipping my workouts, etc, etc. I've been so busy with things that HAVE to get done NOW!!!! that I let myself slide. Well, I'm not going to go…

Good advice on the rest days--thank you--and the idea that the rest might actually help the weight loss--well, that's certainly motivating! I'll shoot for Sunday.... Father's Day weekend really put me back too--and it seemed that most of my friends had a tougher time than with Mother's Day!! Keep your fingers…

Trying to keep to my no food after 9PM goal.....

Did Push 3 today--gotta LOVE those boots!!!! Thanks for the heads-up on those Single Leg Sumos---I had such a hard time walking up the stairs after the workout--I should count that as a whole 'nother workout it took so long! We have so many new people--it's great!!!! And there are so many wonderful things happening to all…

Bed time and I DIDN'T eat!! I consider this a HUGE victory! This challenge came at the perfect time for me--thanks so much for putting it together.

Did fine with the water and worked out with weights in this morning's cardio class. My NSV--No eating after 9PM--I was stuck in a meeting until 9:40PM....and I have over 500 cals left for the day....and the hubby and I always have a granola bar while going over the days events....and I'm hungry.....BUT, I will keep this…

I had another long term NSV goal in mind but I was hesitant to put it down because I wasn't certain I would be able to accomplish it and right now I'm trying to give myself tasks that I can succeed in doing, not ones that I beat myself up for NOT doing. Anyway, I have had in mind to offer to lead Pilates classes at a local…

lots to tell...used my new HRM for a cardio interval class this morning--it shows less than if I had calculated it according to MFP--so I know now that I've probably been eating back too many cals--good thing to know. In the class, we had to do pushups--the instructor had us on our knees--but it was a hard wood floor and…

Jenyfur--nice to see you back! I got an HRM--thanks Mom and Dad!! I can't wait to see what the actual cal counts are compared to MFP!!! I'm going to be all psyched to workout just so I can check the totals! Love the Tarjey garb!! Single leg sumo squat, huh??? I can do the push-ups and burpees, but that because I did Jilian…

I JUST got my HRM (Polar FT7--thanks Mom & Dad!!), so another NSV for this week is to learn how to use ALL the features and to really utilize this to it's fullest capacity. I can't wait to see how the new cal burn counts stand against the MFP ones.

@michelle228--I think you are incredibly brave person--and you are safe and among friends here!! I doubt that any of us care what the others' weights are, we just want to lose our own and support everyone else that is here with us. You can and will do this!!

Day 1 SW 155 (I won't be weighing in each week and the numbers--whatever they are --seem to trigger binges) This week's NSV #1- Meet the water challenge (the weights I already do) #2-NO EATING BETWEEN 9PM AND 6AM #3-Stay current with this challenge group Long Term NSV #1-Weigh in on the last day--goal (hope, wish, dream,…

You can do it--remember--there was a 1st time for everyone in there, most people don't care how well (or not so much) other people are doing (they're too busy trying to keep up!) and I bet you'll surprise yourself with how well you'll do! Go, go, go!!!! Then let us know how it went!

Did Push 2 for the first time today--those single leg lunges are incredible--man, you just start to move your foot up and bam! flex right on the butt cheek---now if my a** doesn't tighten up with these, nothing will help!!! Gonna try a Cardio Interval class tomorrow--90 mins--but so far the classes at this center aren't…

I just spent the last 20 mins typing out a whole long catch-up post----and somehow I lost itahhhhhh--well, I'll have to redo it later--gotta get the day started. Have a great Saturday to all my buddies.
