Friday Exercise Challenge - not finished.......argh! Water 13 cups Under calorie goal: Yes Walking Challenge: 2 miles Minutes: 40

Simple games like ring-around-the-rosey, hide and seek, duck duck goose.....can all be played indoors. If you don't have enough space for hiding places, then do egg-hunt type games. Follow the leader - you lead, so it doesn't get too crazy - can be really good inside. too. Reading to them isn't terribly active, but it is…

Someone on the challengers team had put their numbers in my Thursday slots. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. There is a problem with one of the yellow areas now, too. Ladies, please check to see that your Thursday numbers are down - I deleted what was there in the process of putting mine in.

Thursday Exercise Challenge - no Water 15 cups Under calorie goal: Yes Walking Challenge: no, worked all day - yay!!! Minutes: 120 Still cool, windy and rainy.

I would send the seat, but I would also be pretty shocked if they actually use it. Schools are above the law, and in some states, the school trumps parental authority while school is in session - google "in loco parentis" and check your state law to see if your school has that right. It has sometimes been taken farther…

Monday: Exercise Challenge - Yes Water 12 cups Under calorie goal: Yes Walking Challenge 3 miles Burned: 378 Minutes: 90

One thread for all, and repeating Week 3 exercises makes good sense to me! I'm sorry you are not feeling well again, Teresa! Week 4 Sunday Exercise Challenge - Rest Day Water today -9 Under Calories - yes Miles walked - 1 Calories burned today: 55 - thank goodness it was *supposed* to be a rest day!

Yes! I will set my goal to maintenance and work hard to maintain!

I didn't do any specific exercises for back fat, but losing the weight got rid of it. I'm no longer overweight, and have no back fat. I walk, do some aerobics videos at home, hula hoop, some strength training and calesthenics - nothing specific but good, full-body workouts. Just get moving, and try to strengthen all your…

Argh......still no weight loss. I'm about to try sleeping pills (OTC) for a few nights to see if I can overcome the insomnia, but I really hate to do that. BUT I have read a couple of studies that say sleep is required for weight loss, and I KNOW it is required for sanity, and helps with stamina and concentration, too!!…

This. It sounds like you have a good kid who has been through a whole lot. Going through a whole lot has an effect on a kid. She's been punished enough by life. Now she needs some help, and a whole lot of positive in her life. She needs to hear that you believe in her. She probably needs help with study skills, goal…

Thank you, Teresa! I really appreciate it! When I get busy enough to set some money aside, I AM going to plan a weekend to meet you someplace halfway between here and there. Massage trades sound WONDERFUL! I am used to hauling my table around - I'll have it with me! Two of my clients yesterday turned into hour massages…

It is fun to share treats, plus a lot of times people share in order to not eat it all, themselves! It's okay to enjoy a treat. Giving yourself permission to eat a very small portion of an office treat (like one piece of fudge) once or twice a week, working it into your calorie allowance/burn plan, will help you blend…
