wondering if this group is still active

Hey there. What a cool idea! Are you following a specific plan?

Just what I need: motivation. Elvis isn't dead either :wink:

Kind of surprised by all the comments encouraging you to just assume she thought you guys were together. Communication is key. You won't get anywhere or be able to grow together unless you communicate. For your peace of mind, you might consider talking to her again and finding out what she feels, thinks, wants. It could…

Nice idea: My username is Leesi

So I am disqualified... I started the week out on the right foot, but fell ill (actually relapsed) and didn't log or exercise for 4 days. I will be back next month! Good luck everyone!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 25 minutes (doing Age of Pandora on darebee.com. 2 chapters today. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Greetings, I've done this challenge once before sometime last year. I had invasive surgery at the end of February and needed to take a few months off from exercising to recover. I have gained a little since then, but am mostly frustrated with my stamina. While trying to get back on the workout wagon last month, I fell ill…

Hi there, I am trying to get back on the workout wagon after having surgery at the end of February. I have been walking a lot, but think it's time to increase my activity level and be stricter with myself regarding food. I haven't been this heavy since I was 17 (35 now), and I really am not feeling good in my skin. Could…

I am in a similar boat. 8 weeks post hysterectomy and I am itching to do some cardio. Have been walking a lot more and considering biking, but I get so exhausted from just working and walking. And get the swelly belly as well. Think the best thing is to be patient and listen to our bodies. Make sure you are getting enough…

3 x yes. Got in 35 minutes of exercise, plus about 20 minutes cleaning. Doing well, feeling positive. However, I've been dealing with some dizziness the past two days. I'm sure it's nothing, but doesn't feel that nice. Enjoy your Sunday evening, all.

Am enjoying the discussions here. Thank you all for sharing your stories, struggles, experience, wisdom, and accomplishments. I feel I need to share and vent a little.... Forgive me for my ramblings. And thanks for reading! I am proud I made it through a whole week on this challenge without having to use a "sick" day. At…

Exercised: yes. Been working on strengthening my arms and abs today (doing a few challenges). Then I got this crazy idea of starting a jumping jacks challenge. Day 1: 160 jumping jacks. I did them in one go, but just about died. As the number increases, I will definitely be splitting those puppies up. Calories? Very good.…

Yes x 3.

Yes x 3. Was very warm today, but still managed to get my exercise in.

Yes x 3

Yes x 3

Yes x 3. Busses and trams were striking yesterday, so I walked 15,000 steps, over 6 miles, & over 100 min of exercise.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I did 33 minutes on the bike, with 5 minutes of stretching, and day 2 of my 2 challenges. These are very easy so far, (early days) but I see at the end of the arm challenge, I'll be doing 150 tricep dips, which I hate. But I shall persevere. Did I stay within my calorie budget…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I cleaned up around the house for about 20 minutes and jumped on the stationary bike for 30 minutes. My brother, who has MS, has returned to exercising, and he started some of these monthly challenges yesterday. I like to do them with him at a distance. We're doing an arms…

Is it acceptable to post in the morning for the previous day? Say, I post tomorrow morning my resultsfor July 1st? Just asking because I understand we are only supposed to post once the day is done. Sorry, newbie here :)

Greetings UAC members. Thanks for letting me join up. This is my first time participating in this challenge. @Slimpossible007 recommended it. I'm 34 and live in Belgium. I've been struggling with my weight for most of my life. Was a fat kid/teen and successfully lost about 90 pounds around 17-18 years old. Maintained a…

Would like to join a day late if that's acceptable. Been trying to get back on track for a while now. 05/13: N/A - last weigh in was May 1: 176.4 (80 kg) Then the batteries of my scale bit the dust and I couldn't find my spare ones 05/14 177.5 (80.5 kg) - late afternoon (finally remembered to get batteries!) No exercise…

Thank you for sharing. Am dealing with a burnout myself since about January. Have not been exercising regularly since mid-Feb, I guess. Trying my hardest to switch my thinking around, to care for myself, and also get my body re-energized, but am struggling with motivating myself. Your sincere post is definitely inspiring…

Exceeded my workout goal for June: 1025/880 minutes. Just finished week 7 of C25K, which means I've only got one week left (running 28 minutes nonstop) before I run my first 5k. Have not been good at logging though.

1. Log more reguarly. At least 4/7 days. 2. Running at least 3x a week. (Am doing a start to run program, so by end of June, I should be almost at 5k without walking.. I plan to participate in my 1st 5k in August). 3. Walk home from station on workdays I don't run. (35 min, just about 3km) 4. Find a way to get some…

I sure got a chuckle out of this cat story, @instantmartian. (I'm a crazy cat lady.) Good luck with your motivation dip and getting back on track for your upcoming 10K. I went through that earlier this year and once I got it back, I twisted my ankle very badly running after the bus. After two months of doing little…

01-May: 3.7 (week 1 day 1) 02-May: 1.3 (was ill this week, which explains my slow) 06-May: 5.4 08-May: 2.6 (day 2) 09-May: 1.3 10-May: 1.3 11-May: 1.3 12-May: 3.5 (day 3) 13-May: 2.6 15-May: 3.5 (week 2, day 1) 16-May: 4 (day 2) Today I finished day 2 of the 2nd week of the C25k app. Total 27.9 km (approx 5.53 running?--I…

Is this open to anyone? I've just started to run this month. The exercise goals are intimidating but motivating. You all ooze awesomeness. Good luck reaching your goals!

New here, I joined the group a week ago and recently restarted running on 1 May. My name is Alise, 33 years old, living in Belgium (born & bred in the US). I've struggled with my weight for most of my life. I lost 90 pounds in my late teens and maintained 125-135 for about 11 years. I was never interested in sports or…
