Be proud. You may may not have made the total minutes, but you are surpassing other things you have not done before. So, you are making the strides and it is showing. Great job staying at it and doing the best that you can. Awesome week 2, week 3 begins tomorrow! Woo Hoo.

To tell you the truth, if you are working out really hard, as you do, and then staying under your calories everyday, one night of an overindulgence is not going to hurt you. First of all it is going to fool your body/metabolism and second if you had stored up calories from during the week, it will all work out in the end.…

Woo Hoo, way to go! Great week 2!

I love knowing this information. I got a bike, 11 months ago, 4 months into my journey and had the HARDEST time for the first couple of weeks, plus my rear end hurt like heck from the seat. But, then I began to enjoy it so much. I just love putting my Ipod on, getting on my bike, and taking off. I was able to ride all the…

Well, even with a messed up couple of days you have done GREAT this week. Be proud of what you have done! I will tell you this; as time passes, you lose more weight, and you exercise/workout/move more, it gets easier and easier to just roll with it when things knock you out of whack. I don't know what it is, maybe because…

You too have some awesome totals for the week! Such a great job and you even have one day left. So terrific!

Fantastic!!! Look at what you accomplished this week! You should be so proud of yourself. I think this is awesome!

Good Job pushing yourself! Don't you feel great about that? And look at your totals so far, woo hoo, you have made it, and beyond easily!

Here is my Saturday results: 65 minutes walking burned, per my HRM, 645 calories 12 glasses of water so far today but will easily get in another 5-6 before bed.

Way to go! Cleaning is going to be something that I do a lot of this week. My middle daughter is coming, next week, for Easter weekend, with our grandson who is 1 1/2 and just started walking. So, there is going to be carpet cleaning, stripping beds and washing everything, washing dogs, and basic cleaning. My grandson was…

They are by a company called Mueller! (I wasn't by them the other night to tell you the brand) but, the inside of them is green and the outside is black and on each end is velcro to tighten around the knee area. I think the padding portion puts pressure on the sore parts and keeps them basically "in check" to keep it from…

Here is my Friday results: 65 minutes of walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 888 calories 45 minutes of Elliptical burned, per my HRM, 1005 calories I have done 615 minutes of exercise 530 minutes of cardio, 60 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other I have 13 glasses of water done as of now, 2pm, so a lot of time…

But you are right on to make all your goals, so you are doing great!

Wow, so awesome! 9 pounds in 15 days means you are doing something right! And your endurance is building too. Fantastic.

I did and that is okay. Hope the storms passed with no problems. I woke up to a inch of snow, this morning, when it was finally all gone. Effecting my mood big time!

Look at you! Fantastic week so far!

Good job finding the time to get something done. Doing good.

Well Jenn for taking it easy 105 minutes is not too darn bad! Good job!

I have really bad knees too and we do a lot of squats & lunges in kettle bell class. I got these knee brace things at walmart. They are about an inch thick and they have a really thick portions in the middle of them. You wrap it around your knee and put the thick portion around the area that hurts. I find they really help…

Doing good. I know you won't skip because you are a part of this challenge. 178 minutes left for this week! Go, Go, Go!!

Great job! You too are making a good week for yourself.

Woo Hoo, look at you! You are working it and making a good week for yourself.

Fantastic on making lemonade Amber!! I only became a member a a gym a month and a half ago! Before that I did it all at home! Do you have stairs anywhere close by? You could use stairs to run up and down or you could use one stair and do stair steps! Go up with the right foot, up with the left foot, down with the right…

Bumping this as I have been craving pizza something crazy lately

Look at you CHICKADEE! You are jus racking up the exercise calories! Great job!

What do you mean "only?" 60 minutes is great and probably a whole more than a lot of other people! So great job!

Jenn fantastic! I know what you mean about the nice weather! It's hard to sit still when it's nice. You did great today.

Don't feel like a loser, that is silly! You have 90 minutes of cardio to do and 30 minutes of strength to do after that the other 230 minutes is whatever you want to do. More cardio, more strength, or house cleaning, whatever. The point is exercise, moving and staying active. So, you did 30 minutes of something other and…

AWESOME! It only gets better and better and better with the better endurance.
