Leave it to me to start TOM the day before I start a challenge...I'm still down though, just gonna be rough tomorrow!

I don't have the DVD yet but I can do level one on cable until I do get it. I've tried it twice and the first time damn near killed me! The second time I wasn't near as sore but it definitely gets you sweating! The biggest challenge for me will be to get it done every single day...I've been slacking lately so Friday, it's…

I finally got a workout in last night after sitting on my butt for like 2 weeks! I went to my apartment weight room and got on the elliptical like usual. I set it for an hour but after 30 minutes I was so bored, I quit. Once back in my apartment I was feeling guilty about that so I thought I would check out the fitness…

so I've totally fallen off the wagon here. Came down with a horrible upper respiratory infection last Monday but by Thursday the worst was over. I haven't done a damn thing good for me since, let's see...2 weeks ago? I've even been avoiding logging on here b/c I feel guilty but don't want to do anything about it. Boredom…

That was close - thought I had to work till 9 tonight but found out I didn't at the last minute. So, I poured some wine with my salad already deciding i wasn't going to work out. This must be a breakthrough because I felt so bad about it that I had to go workout. I burned 570 calories doing an hour on the elliptical. I may…

Ok, so I hadn't had any alcohol since Sunday...until last night. A whole 2 days! Here were my justifications for doing so: 1. I walked to and from the store to buy beer. 2. I only bought a six pack of Bud Light 55s. 3. I didn't eat dinner. 4. I worked out twice yesterday. Now, I did not wake up and work out like my 5th…

Managed to burn 610 calories today, part in the morning and part after work. That leaves 2,890 to go....yikes!

I've been slacking :/ I didn't work out at all Monday or Tuesday and had no reason not to! So, this morning I got up and burned 420 calories. I wonder, would it be less productive for me to burn 400 in the morning and 300 in the evening since I now need to burn 700 every day this week to meet 3500? Gotta get my butt in…

Well, it took me a week and a half to get up and workout before work but I finally did it! Now, if I can get in my day 2 for week 2 tomorrow, I'll be on the right track. I have to do that tomorrow if I want to get a work out in at all anyway.

This is what I've been looking for! I put up a post about my love for beer when I first started on here and was told I'd better cut out all alcohol if I want to be successful. I haven't cut out alcohol and I've lost 6 lbs, so there! Haha...I'm trying to not drink during the week since one drink leads to...10, 12..20.…

Monday through Thursday I did awesome....then I drank my *kitten* off all weekend and totally feel off the wagon. Fun weekend but didn't do what I was supposed to. At least I didn't gain anything back though.

Totally get that! Mexican food, margaritas and beer are my worst enemies and I love them all so much :sad:

That's a great way of putting it!

Cool! I still haven't managed it grr....even though I set my alarm, I've been ignoring it and I know I'll regret it in the weight room tonight. Tomorrow is another day!

598 tonight! Definitely more than I've ever burned! Took forever though.

I like the way you think! This helped me a lot -thanks!

Come on - I wanted you all to have a magic answer and tell me I can drink all the beer I want! Haha...I guess I just have to really bite the bullet and cut way back as well as switching to a super low cal beer. On the upside, before I started using MPF I was drinking a lot and not working out at all. Now I'm working out…

I'm in - I definitely need a reason to do more than set my alarm for my morning work out. Last night, I set my alarm to get up at 5:30 so I wouldn't have to wait around on the treadmill to get to the only elliptical at our apt weight room tonight. 5:30 came around and I said screw it, I'll go tonight. I would love to…

I managed to burn 555 cals in 75 minutes last night. The night before I burned 569 in 65 minutes...not sure why it was so much harder last night! Of course, I am going by the machine's numbers. I plan to get a HRM soon but regardless of the numbers, I'm burning more than in the past with this challenge for sure!

Thank you all for the votes of confidence!

I saw this challenge at work today - sounds great! Current Weight: 172.5 One week goal: 171 June goal: 155 I am off to a great start! With this goal in mind I burned 569 calories which is up from my normal range of 440. These numbers are according to the elliptical machine so I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I know for…
