Bump

Final weight for Labor Day challenge:231. Not quite to goal-but still since I started down 31 lbs! Off on my cruise today (YEAH!!). Talk to everyone when I get back. Have a great week!

Hi everyone! Good luck in this month's challenge! August was tough, but from Aug. 1-31, I lost 9 lbs and 5"! My starting weight for this is 231. I am leaving on a cruise on Friday to Bermuda (hopefully won't be impacted by Katia!). I plan to work out every day (lots of walking and swimming) as well as do the daily…

My final weight was still 231. I have lost 9 lbs with this challenge along with 4.25 inches! Thanks for all of your support!

Water in, calories under. I actually did the 3 mile walk with the Exercise Channel. Never did I think I could do that! I wasn't able to do all the kicks and moves all the time but I never stopped moving. Got very hot and sweaty, but was quite proud of myself! I will post my final weight tomorrow.

Your body is better able to fight off the virus. Good for you!

Got my water in and was under in calories. I couldn't do all of the exercises and not without breaks, but it was a vast improvement from when we started. I did the counts, but some were in sets. But each set was double what I could do in the beginning! Have a great night everyone!

A trainer explained it to me this way: if it came straight from the ground/tree or had a face/beak, it is "clean". Anything else is processed.

I am leaving on my first cruise on Friday too! Have fun on your trip!

Today I went to the Country Music Festival and danced for at least 5 hours!

Kenny Chesney concert was fantastic!! And we danced all night long!! (Burned off the calories from the Mike's Hard Lemonade!) Also did my 55 ab crunches and walked an extra mile (about 1/2 mile from the parking lot to the stadium and back again after the show). I was under calories, but did not get all my water in…

I got my water in and was under calories (a bit low today but was barely under several times this week.). Did my 55 ab crunches (darn things are getting to be a habit!) then put away propane tanks, grills, spare tires, trash barrels and anything else that might fly around the yard. Tomorrow we are going to the Kenny…

I did it and have lost about 10 lbs so far. I haven't checked measurements yet, but the pants I bought 6 weeks ago are really loose and they were snug when I bought them. The challenge really worked for me...I think because of the daily accountability and the team mentality.

Water in and under calorie goal. I did the sets of 21's and the swimmer's presses, along with the 55 crunches and for some reason I did 20 modified windshield wipers and 3 sets of leg lifts. And I got in an extra 2 miles on the stationary bike. Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the yard and making sure all the possible…

That is so gross when it happens! You will be fine, don't worry.

Under calorie, and got all my water in. Did my 55 crunches and walked an extra mile for the team challenge. Did the woodchops and 50 toetouches. The jumping all over the place is making my knees scream in protest!

Bump. I am thinking about starting it, and an nervous about doing it at my size. I would love to see some of the responses.

Under on calories today (barely!), drank all my water and did the following: 55 ab crunches (I do them in sets of 5, so I finished the set) 50 squat kicks 30 Swimmer presses 40 zig zag hops Have a great night everyone!

My nieces have gone there for parties (or at least a group went for someone's birthday!) and LOVED it!! My daughter, who is 19, loves to go with the and "help". (She really wants to build her own bear!) Don't know prices, but it was a lot of fun for everyone!

Today I did the windshield wipers, the presses and the 21's. For some reason I also did 50 crunches-I guess it's getting to be a habit. I can add 2 more to that on a daily basis for the team challenge. I also had a really stressful day and instead of eating it away, I went outside and did jumping jacks! I got in 25 before…

What a challenging week! (10 days really!). Do we send you our weights on the last day (the 31st) to get the full month, or will you just go by Sunday (the 28th) weigh in?

Consider it kicked! You can do this.

Yeah for you!!

Applebee's had the Assiago Steak with grilled veggies and grilled potatos that was fantastic and less than 400 calories. (Leaves a little room for dessert!) At Red Robin, you can get a Simply Grilled Chicken Breast on a lettuce bun (ask for no mayo) that was under 400 calories-so you can have a few french fries. I often…

8/21: 232 (3lbs this week) I have now lost a total of 30 lbs since joining MFP! People are noticing and I feel really good, physically and mentally. I hope everyone had a great week!

YIPPEE!! Down 3 lbs for a total of 30!! My goal when I started in late May/early June was to lose 30 lbs before my cruise, and we don't leave for another 2 weeks!! I am so excited! I really think this challenge has helped me and held me accountable. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement!

I took it fairly easy today, did my 50 crunches and the two mile walk, drank 8 glasses of water and was under calories for the day. Let's hope all this hard work pays off tomorrow!

Under in calories, 13 glasses of water, 50 ab crunches, 50 toe touches, 50 push ups and 3 sets of 21's. I'm going to have to add some weight to the 21's soon as they are becoming much easier. (Still hard for the last set, but getting there!) Also climbed quite a few stairs (about 100) helping my boss do some stuff. A…
