I made up for not getting my usual walking in today. I will try to send my points before I go to the neighbors house. They just got back from vacation and we are going to go see their pictures.

I spent a good portion of today in the car and by my grandparents house. I didn't get in the exercise I did yesterday. I will see what I can do yet today. Great job everyone on the points so far! I will admit, when it comes to challenges I am horribly competitive. :smile:

1. Name? Illina but I go by my nickname of Aleah 2. Age? 31 3. Marital Status? Not married, but I have been with my boyfriend for 8 years. 4. Kids? We have 2 furbabies, Cat - Goofy, Guinea Pig - Cocoa 5. What do you for a living? Administrative Assistant 6. What do you enjoy doing for fun? Camping, going to the comedy…

I managed to get 9 miles of walking in, water done, but sadly my back couldn't handle the windshield wipers. I did 10 and I thought my back was going to give out. I will still take the 95 points. So where is everyone from? Whats your favorite hobby?

This is great news! I was hoping my Wii workouts would count too!

I have 6.5 miles of walking in so far. I still have to finish the wipers. I'm not liking them at all. We just had a big rainstorm. I'm hoping it will stay cool long enough for me to take another walk. I'm on glass 8 of water and its early yet. I like the quote! I'm not sure if you guys checked the other thread but…

I have been walking indoors in an effort not to have an asthma attack in the heat. The sad part is everyone here has turned down their a/c so its still humid in the mall.

Do you have a color in mind or my choice? You will have to message me your address.

Thank you for sharing that. Its an eye opener. Sometimes I wonder if eating healthier is cheaper or not. This visual shows it is.

I got 3 wipers in so far. I have to find a better place to do them. I think I hit everything in the livingroom with my legs lol.

I have 3 in so far and almost 2.5 miles of walking. I think I'm going to hit my pound goal this week. Does anyone here drink water out of plastic bottles or drink propel? I used my water bottle strap today while I was at the farmers market and it was a life saver. I'm willing to crochet and send one to you if you would…

I found out my pedometer only works half the time. I have to look for my other one. I'm going to our big farmers market in the morning.

I hope everyone had a great first day for the challenge!

Day 1 went good. It kept me from giving in to temptation of cheesecake this afternoon. :)

I'm so excited. This will help keep my sodium in check. Is there a way to modify jumping jacks? I have knee problems and can't do regular ones. Thank you again for setting this up.

I just sent a last friend request. I appologize I missed you. I'm on board with everything. I'm really excited for this to start. This is what I need to get my butt working in the right direction again. Its been so hot and humid here that I just don't have the motivation to do anything.

I think the name can be anything. Red Hot Losers?

I'm right down the highway from you. I'm in Appleton and we go up to Green Bay all the time. Hooray for the lockout being over! GO PACK GO!!

I was really hoping our other 2 team mates would come over. I think we only have until Friday to come up with a name and captain.

Hi! I can't wait to get started. I find myself lacking some motivation this week.

Thank you for organizing this!

I'm in. I think teams would be a good idea too.

I just have eaten a few of the Larabars. I use it when I'm out and I'm not going to find something "safe" to eat. I use it more as a temporary meal. I have been looking for the mini Larabars so they are lower in calories.

Darren Carter is one of my faves! He also has a podcast that has other comedians on also.

Congrats on the 80 pounds! I too am a competitive person. I did really great when my work was doing a biggest loser style competition, but once it was over the weight slowly came back.

Don't beat yourself up over a bad day. We all have them. Just don't let a bad day turn into 2 bad days, and so on. This is where I have gone wrong in the past myself.

You can fill half gallon and gallon jugs with water to make free handweights.

Fruit is a great snack. Lots of things are in season and you can satisfy a sweet tooth at the same time.:smile:
