  • Congrats Heather! I'm sure that's a great feeling! I think the challenge this week is really tough. Burning 580-ish calories per day for 6 days in a row will be tough but I'm planning to break it up in to AM and PM workouts so it's not so exhausting. So we really have to eat a fruit and a veggie from each color category?…
  • Congrats on the weight loss!! You're not letting me down! Listening to your body is really important and pushing yourself beyond limits only makes it worse. I hope the energy picks back up so you can be back in the swing of things soon!
  • I'm loving the fruit/veggie challenge! It's taken some planning to make sure I get it all in but that time is made up because of the little (or no) time to prepare them. Eating fresh and not processed feels great. Thanks for the suggestion Heather!!
  • Preach it, sister! :) I agree about making it 60 minutes so that it is challenging. So to sum up what we have for challenges: 60 minutes of exercise per day Plank Marathon - Daily (or 1/2 every other day if needed) 1.5 cups of fruit per day 2.5 cups of veggies per day Is that right? In other news, I came across a workout…
  • I think leaving the plank portion at 30 seconds is fine but note that modifications may be necessary. Maybe do 1/2 every other day like the 100 challenge this week. I read an article last night about the importance of fiber and I think adding Fiber to the nutrition challenge would be good. I like the fruit/veggie part too.…
  • I'm all up to speed on the challenge now. I guess I was just having 'a moment' because it makes perfect sense now. :) I did the workout last night and loved it... though my lower abs are aching from all of those leg lifts!! I like the idea of a water challenge and the number of minutes of exercise per day. I think 60…
  • I'm confused. The 100 challenge posted below is different than the Excel sheet. Which is correct? Should we do this every day? Thanks! I got on the scale this morning and weighed 1.5 more than I did on Saturday but my pants fit better than they did last week. I really would love for this challenge to keep track of inches…
  • and I am going to give up tortillas this week! I ate enough last week for everyone on our team! In place of a class or a DVD I'll find a strength training workout on YouTube that I can do in the mornings before we hit the slopes. I might even do some jumping jacks, mountain climbers or run laps around each gas station…
  • Hi Ladies, Sorry I didn't post any weight lost this week -- I did quite a bit of strength training and my legs and arms all feel like they have a 20 lb bowling ball strapped to them. My nutrition was not spectacular (I'll be better!) but I'm certain that strength training is to blame. Hopefully the muscle gain will catch…
  • Hi Ladies! Thanks for letting me join the group. My weight on Saturday was 148. And then the Super Bowl came... :)
