Hi ladies :) I'm posting my exercise/calories burned for yetserday and today. Yesterday (Saturday), I did 60 minutes of Wii Just Dance 2 and burned 278 calories and 15 minutes of Wii Tennis and burned 62 calories. I also completed the 25 pushups (standing). Today (Sunday), I did 47 minutes of Wii EA Active 2 and burned 335…

Emotional Challenge: What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude? I've never really made excuses to myself or others about my weight, I just never really realized how big I had truly gotten.…

Here's my info. for today. I had really hoped to exercise tonight more, but I'm just too exhausted and need to rest. I need to get more sleep, but I always have problems sleeping whenever my DH is gone. Wii EA Active 2 for 29 minutes (burned 210 calories). I also completed the 25 lunges today.

Thanks Michelle. So the Up & Downs are going to be the death of me, then, huh?

Can one of you please explain what "Up & Downs" are as well as "Leg Raises" I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Thanks!

I just completed my 40 squats for the day. I also did Wii Just Dance 2 for 30 minutes (burned 139 calories) and Wii Tennis for 20 minutes (burned 83 calories). I'm hoping for a walk later today, but now I have to shower and get my husband and Caeleb's stuff packed for their trip this weekend. They are leaving at midnight…

Welcome to the Pink Team Jen! I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. If you need anything, just let me know. Just to let everyone know, I'm adjusting my calories burned for the week to 2000. I don't burn a lot with my workouts and I can't devote any extra time working out more right now, so this will have to do. Since I'm…

I voted on last week's thread, but my vote is for the green team's recipe. Looks super yummy! I'm also changing my calorie burn to 2000, since you lowered it Karie. I don't burn many calories with my workouts and I can't devote any extra time to working out longer right now, sorry.

So, I set my goal at 2500 calories burned for the week. I know that is the lowest we are supposed to do, but that will be REALLY hard for me to reach! I did a morning walk with Casyn in the stroller and some Wii EA Active2 this morning before the dentist and I did the crunches for the challenge for today. I *plan* on…

OK, I changed my goal to 2500. Even hitting that will be really hard for me, so here's hoping for the best!

My calorie goal is 2600...we'll see if I can achieve that.

Hi everyone! I'm really nervous about this week's challenge because I never have huge calorie burns. Looks like I'll be doing some extra working out now!

Congrats on your weight loss. I had to laugh at the Dora mention because even though my sons don't watch Dora, we do actually sing it around our house. I immediately started singing along when I read your post. :)

I vote for Michelle's recipe. I love peanut butter and chocolate together, so sounds good to me :) Cardio- done (I did Wii Just Dance 2 one day with my boys and I tried Zumba once) Strength- done (91 was my highes number) Relaxation Challenge- I've been reading on my Kindle a little each day/night Food Challenge-…

I've been to DisneyWorld and Six Flags both in the last month and what I did was pack snack items. For breakfast: dry cereal (I don't like milk) or breakfast bar Snacks: Peanut Butter Crackers, Animal Crackers, Pre-packaged apple slices Then for lunch/dinner: I just chose something off the menu that looked healthier, yet…

I thought I had already done the Emotional Challenge, but I guess not, so here goes: Is there someone in your life that has affected you in a negative way and has contributed to your weight gain? How will this change once you have become more confident and learn to Love yourself. I don't think that my mom has contributed…

Don't feel bad, Michelle. I'm so sorry you are going through bad stuff, but we are all here for you. If you need to talk/vent, feel free to post here, on my wall or message me. I'll listen to you :) You are doing great and we are all here to support you!

Happy Monday Girls :) I did my step ups for the challenge today. I was able to get 90 done in 3 minutes. I was hoping for more, but my legs didn't want to cooperate, LOL. Here's my recipe for the challenge. Brownies with Diet Soda ~Just take a box of brownie mix and using a mixer, add in a can of diet soda (any flavor you…

Small NSV for me: I have been doing the Step Ups for the challenge and yesterday I was able to do 62, but today I was able to do 82 of them in the 3 minutes. Yay me! LOL :)

Let me know if you need any help with anything in regards to the challenge or anything else. We're all here to help each other :) Congrats on attending a Zumba class. I am impressed of you. I would be way too nervous to even try, because like I posted above I am uncoordinated and have no rhythm!

Tayla-Have a fun weekend with family! And good luck with the staying away from processed sugar/snacks. I'll check out your food journal for you ;) So, I went ahead and found some Zumba videos on Youtube. I made an account and playlist so that they'd play back to back and I did 45 minutes worth. It was hard because I am…

I'm sorry things aren't going well right now, Michelle. If you need to vent, feel free, I'm a good listener ;) And no, I've never tried Zumba. All for you, I'll do that as my workout today....so if you all don't hear from me again, you know that the Zumba video did me in, LOL! Hope everyone has a great Friday and a good…

We're having meatloaf for dinner tonight, as that's what my 7 year old requested. I'm just making a healthier version of it. I'm not a good or adventurous good, though, so I'm probably not much help, LOL.

How's everyone doing today? I really didn't want to do anything today, but I decided to do part of the challenge and do dancing. So, I did the Wii Just Dance 2 with my boys for an hour. Then I worked on the Step Ups. I'm using our fireplace as my step since it's raised and hits just below my knee (since I'm so short!). I…

That is awesome! I'm so happy for you Michelle! :)

Hi girls :) Completed my cardio for today, thanks to the Wii and Casyn napping. I'm getting ready to start my crunches now, but I wanted to post really quickly and say that I hope everyone is having a good day. Also, welcome to the Pink Team ChellaJKR :) Here's my posting about our teammates: Tayla: You are such a great…

We just got back from a 6 day vacation to Disney World (our first time there). I didn't log my food, since I really didn't know exactly what I was eating and I didn't want to spend too much time on my iPhone trying to figure it out I just made sensible choices for the most part and had some splurges (an ice cream cone one…
