Can't wait until Monday to get back with the weekly challenge. I've hated it this week. Not doing anything has made me feel really down this week (which is something I never thought I'd hear myself say) so I'm really looking forward to it. Jen - Keeping my fingers crossed for you. TOM is a right bugger.

We started a 7 week challenge that's going to continue through October. You can find the spreadsheet for it here... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq0fwi7BJUivdERVU0V6OWVnUWpMZVdwenhya1NxekE&hl=en_US#gid=0 Every week we're doing something different so jump on it. :)

Welcome back!!! So glad you're here. I think sometimes in life you have to take a time out and work on yourself, so I'm glad you were able to do that. Hope you're well hun. x Just popped by to say that I'm taking it easy for a couple of days on the advice of my physio lady. She wants me to rest my back up for a few days…

So happy. Got rid of that 4lb I put on whilst away. Feeling really motivated now.

Hey ladies I'm here to say sorry.... I won't be able to weigh until first thing tomorrow morning, so won't be able to complete my chart until then. As you've probably seen me say here in the past, I don't have scales in the house because I know I'll obsess over them, so every Monday morning I go into town and get on the…

I don't mind breaking it down into categories. I'm happy to go with the majority. Been at the hospital this morning for my monthly sessions of needles in the back. Normally it makes me feel worse straight after and then I feel the benefits a few days later. Today though it seems to have kicked in already. Maybe it's down…

Claire, I'm pretty sure you can do the plyo jumps on and off a step. I always end up having to modify things a little bit if I don't have a certain bit of exercise equipment. Just be careful you don't jump up too many steps lol.
-
Basically you stand next to a stool or box and then jump onto it as many times as you can. They should just call it box jumping lol.
-
So yesterday I tried plyo jumps and today I tried side knee drops. I'm quite enjoying trying a new exercise every day. Mind you, so far I feel like I've just been making a list of things never to try again. :laugh: Looks like everyone is doing so well on the challenge. It's great to see us all getting motivated again after…
-
Beccy, if I'm understanding you correctly, which I'm probably not lol, I'm guessing it's how to calculate the number for the calories you've burned from exercise that you don't get. Whatever number of calories you've burned in the day, you divide that number by 500. That gives you the number for the spreadsheet. For the…
-
Beccy, here's the link to the spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq0fwi7BJUivdERVU0V6OWVnUWpMZVdwenhya1NxekE&hl=en_US#gid=0 ...And the list for the challenge... 5 points if you stay under or within 50 calories of your goal each day 5 points if you have 8 glasses or more of water each day 3 points for…

Claire, I know it sucks to get on the scales and have a number staring back at you that you don't want, but I think you have the right attitude to the whole thing. You're so right, it's just a starting point. That number is going to shrink away after this challenge. :) x
-
Going to go and weigh as soon as the shop opens. Then I'm ready to go!:bigsmile: Rach, we need a name. If Clare and Jen are going to be team Chilifish, we need something as good. Team Fizzingpompa? Team Rachywhizbee? Lol. xx
-
I can't wait to get this started tomorrow. So badly need to be good again after the last two weeks. Let's kick some calorie burning *kitten* Rach. :)
-
Got on the scales yesterday and now wish I hadn't bothered. 4lbs on!!! I know I went away and ate stuff I shouldn't have, but I didn't expect it to be 4lbs. I'm hoping that some of it is due to TOM being just around the corner. Roll on Monday. Can't wait to get my teeth back into a challenge and see that weight come off…
-
I'm back! Finally have computer access again and it feels good. I've been away with a friend for a week and had so much trouble with wifi on my phone for some reason. Anyhow, I'm totally up for the new challenge. (Totally ready to kick some *kitten* Rachel :wink: ) I'm going to get on the scales today... Finally. Will post…
-
Hey ladies. Just to let you all know that I'm home tomorrow and will be back online properly then. I've not really been anywhere near a computer all week and it's a nightmare getting on from my phone. Hope you're all well. I'll catch up on the last posts when I get back tomorrow. xxx
-
Hey ladies I'm going away to stay with a friend for a week, so won't be about much. I will be able to get online on Monday though, to sort out this week's challenge winner with the banner. :) I need to get on some scales soon too. I don't have a set in the flat because I know I will obsess over them, so I go to Boots every…
-
So happy to see you back Tami. I hope the doctor's appointment can sort everything out for you and that it's something that can be easily rectified. :) So glad you seem to be beating the depression too. :flowerforyou: xxxx
-
Courtney, to get the banner into your signature, just go to my post with the banner in, click to quote me and then copy the code. :)
-
For you Courtney. Hope you like it. If you don't, I'm happy to change it. :) Well done!
-
I'll post the banner up as soon as I get home this afternoon. :) Well done Courtney! :) xxx
-
I'm so up for another challenge this week. I'm also up for joining you Rach in the 30DS start over. I have the banner ready for this week's winnner, so looking forward to seeing who that is. Will be back on later ladies. :) x
-
Hey ladies I feel like I haven't stopped all week, hence the absence on the board. Just wanted to check in and say that I hope everyone is well and that even though we're coming to the end of the 10 week challenge, I'm really looking forward to whatever is coming next for us all. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to…
-
Thanks Rach. :) I think it's a great idea to keep the banner for a week and then pass it to the next person. Jen - Thank you too :)
-
Tami - So sorry to hear that things aren't good at the moment. We're all here for you and as Beccy said, we're only a hop, skip and a jump away from Skype, AIM or MSN. I hope things start to move upwards soon for you. *hugs* Rach - I love the new challenge for the week. Do you think we should wait until the end of the…
-
So I think I may have overdone it today and yesterday. My problem is that if I think there's some kind of challenge, I get the bit between my teeth and go. I think I may take it slightly easier tomorrow. Yesterday I walked about 7 miles all in. I'm not going to lie, I was absolutely shattered when I got back. I don't think…
-
Hey Jen, I may not be Rach, but I think I can help you with your questions... I think a trice dip is a tricep dip. I may be wrong, but that's how I took it. Secondly with the calories burned numbers, you have to divide the amount of calories you've burned in the day by 500. That's how you get the odd looking numbers lol.…

I've never done a Zumba class, but I do have Zumba for the Wii and I love it. I've heard mixed responses from people about it, but for me, it's great. The only down side to it is in the training mode. It can move a little quickly for some people. Apart from that though, I absolutely love it. :)
-
Rach, I think this is a great idea. Just what I need to get myself motivated again. I'm totally up for this. :) Edit: Also if you wanted me to make a little banner for the winner in Photoshop, let me know. I always like to have a little play in there. :)
