  • Well, the database, for MFP, says that if I was gardening for 180 minutes, 3 hours, that I would burn 1109 calories. Again, that is just the database for MFP, which is usually a little low. Plus, this was probably more that just gardening. I think you are safe with the guesstimate of using 600 calories and I would easily…
  • So, it's a new day today and now you know that you really need to kick it into high gear these last four days of this week. But, I have all of the confidence that you will get it done. Remember that you wanted to be a part of this challenge for a reason. Remember those reasons, get moving, and finish out the week with a…
  • Bad Bad 1crazymom!!!! LOL Just kidding. At least you found out, ARE BEING HONEST, and know that you have 9 more minutes to do than you thought. But, that is fine because you are at 290 and well on track to Rock this weeks challenge.
  • I just wrote this on my news feed for all of my MFP friends, but I thought it appropriate to put here, too, to hopefully help you all along. Good Morning friends. Someone here, on my friends list, is having a bit of a time this morning because the scale "says" she is UP a pound and that made me think of some things that I…
  • Good Wednesday evening ALL! So we are at three days into week one, four days of the week left! Everyone that is checking in everyday what a wonderful, and serious, job you are doing! So great! Those that are not checking in everyday that is okay! Checking in everyday is not a requirement so I will be looking forward to…
  • Good Job! When I smell something and "think" I want it I will drink a glass of water down and then the "pang" of wanting/needing it is gone.
  • My results for Wednesday: (going a little lighter today to recuperate a little bit) 30 minutes of walking the dog burned, per my HRM, 300 calories 35 minutes of circuit training, (11 minutes cardio, 34 minutes strength training) burned, per my HRM 423 calories I am at 9 glasses of water but it isn't even noon so I fully…
  • Getting that water in will help with the water weight gain, some, at that time of the month. I used to gain about that much, too, but now I only retain a pound or two during that week.
  • Katie, just my opinion here, but I really think you need to eat some of those calories, too! Even if it is 200-300 and you go up to say 1400-1500 calories per day. I know you have read a lot about it, but your body really does need those extra calories or your fat will begin to eat off of your muscle. In fact it was even a…
  • WOO HOO WE HAVE CREATED A REVOLUTION!!! I LOVE IT!
  • Sorry to hear this because if you are bored with something it is hard to stay with it! Hopefully the fact that you have already paid for 10 classes will keep you going! I would suggest that maybe you add a little more bounce, hips, jumping, or something like that in to maybe make it a little silly and keep you motivated.
  • Way to go everyone! I am particularly happy to see how HARD you are all working at getting that water in! I will promise you this, when the water becomes a habit you are going to notice that you stay fuller, more, your skin will be fabulous, and many other things you will notice with your body! That is why I made it a part…
  • @ Jeanaustin if you go to the actual persons post, that you want to quote, there is a "quote" button down by the reply button. It will then quote it and pull up a new page for you to type your response. @ Nightingale51 and hannahtie I will put you both on the list as being a part of group! Question for both of you though?…
  • My results for Tuesday, 35 minutes on the elliptical this morning, burned, per my HRM, 525 calories 88 minutes of walking the dog during three different walks, burned, per my HRM, 896 calories 68 minutes of circuit strength training and right into a muscle pump class, burned, per my HRM, 769 calories Just finished my 18th,…
  • Sorry everyone, been busy, busy day and I got some extra walks in. Then, muscle pump class started late tonight, hence got over late, and I just got home a bit ago. Anyway, @ Grammymax, here is the link to the original post http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/205120-6-week-push-yourself-challenge Wow, you guys, are…
  • I just got the book, in the mail, last Friday and I have to say it is the best one, in my opinion, out of all of them. The other ones use too many weird ingredients and so far this one has just been regular every day things. I have only made it through the breakfast section, so far, because I just don't have the time to…
  • @ conkelv - Way to go, you PUSHED YOURSELF and that is what this challenge is all about! Yay, good job
  • GOOD MORNING everyone! How we doin? FANTASTIC I hope! It's Tuesday, it's day 2 and we are all off to a running start, YAY! Go out and make it another great day everyone. PUSH YOURSELF, PUSH YOURSELF. (Don't forget the water!)
  • I own a Private Security Officer/Process Service business. As a matter of fact we spend a lot of time going into busy law offices, such as yours, picking up/dropping off papers to be served. I run my company out of my home and my business line is forwarded to my cell phone, which is always attached to my hip. So, I can…
  • To everyone that decided to post their results, today, wow fantastic! You are all taking this serious and that is great and makes me so proud! Also, thanks for the honesty! That's one thing I said we would be doing, working on the honesty system. Try hard to get that water in! If you are going to be working out more,…
  • @ mufltz0429 I will message you with the link to the original post with the rules and I will add you to our roster! Here is my day one results! (disclaimer to those who don't know me well yet, I said I was going to push myself harder than ever before! I normally work out 60-90 minutes every day. So don't be too surprised…
  • A DVD workout is still a workout. So you don't get to run tonight because of storms. Do the DVD, get a workout in, and be proud that you did it and got it done. PUSH YOURSELF and I know you can! You know I will push you all the way! :wink:
  • Not to late Lizzie, we all just started today. I will add your name to our roster!
  • @ christinaberlyn I do not know about the Insanity videos as I do not have any, but it looks like some others have replied to it, that have them. Cardio would be anything that keeps your heart rate above 100 and you are continually moving. Strength training you usually have a lower heart rate and you are actually working…
  • DON'T FORGET the water everyone! That is part of this challenge too! A minimum of 8 glasses a day!
  • @ mazie129, the total amount of minutes you have to do is 350 minutes for the week, if you chose to do minutes. Of that 350 minutes, 90 minutes MUST be cardio and 30 minutes MUST be strength training. Then, that leaves 230 more minutes of some kind of exercise left to do in the week. It doesn't matter if you do light, more…
  • UPDATED TO ADD SOMEONE AND CORRECT SPELLING OF A NAME!
  • My bad Beth I didn't put it on m paper note! Sorry! You will be added when I edit the roster tonight!
