Do you have your food diary public? I am totally going to go read what you eat now.

I have heard from orthopedic surgeons that they are really bad for your knees. I got rid of the Reebok ones I had.

Two comments: You do need to log the breastfeeding because it does burn calories, and you need to eat those extra calories to provide nourishing milk for baby. Also, you burn 30% more calories when you push a stroller so that's a big deal too! Good job mama - it'll come off!

I have a friend that tried it and tried to work out as well... those things don't go together. You can't eat only 500 calories a day and still have energy to exercise. She loves exercise so she stopped HCG and continued her journey the healthy, normal way.

Would you have to be carrying it while you run? Seems a bit awkward...

Join a challenge with Gary6030! He does monthly challenges with daily exercise goals, and you join a team that you are accountable to. It's fun and helps you stay on track. Add him as a friend or PM him to jump on the October bandwagon.

Labor Day Blues (from Gary) Labor Day is gone and it's time to put away your white shoes and pants, so my wife says, and look forward to cooler temperatures. You might be saying, "what about all those calories I consumed over the weekend?" That's just what those are calories of the past. Never dwell on past calories. The…

From Gary: Attention TRIBAL WARRIORS! Are you up for a Mini Challenge for this week to get us started? No point involved...but you might notice higher weight loss which will end up in points earned! So here's the challenge. Burn 1000 calories in a workout this week! You can do one day at 1000 or do each day its up to you!…

Amy Moore: weight in, calories under, water over, did daily challenges, did weekly challenge April Kim Blair Brignac Connie Garibaldi: weight in, calories under, water over, did daily challenges, did not do weekly challenge Emily Jankowski: weight in, calories under except one day, water over, did daily challenges, did not…

For those of us who do not run (me included): don't be thrown by the wording for week 2 "for every 5K you do, you will get extra points". I am NOT running 6 5k's this week. I will do one, maybe two if I feel ridiculously crazy (which I probably won't). One 5k for me is a big deal. Just sayin'...

Week 2 starts Monday. So Monday, September 5th, is Week 2 Day 1.

SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE WEEK 2 – BUSHMEN SERIES (Advanced) Week TWO Daily Exercise Challenge Each team member that completes their daily exercise challenge receives one point, if all team members complete each daily exercise for all 6 days the team is then awarded an additional 5 Bonus Points. Welcome to Week 2 you are the…

Sylvi, this is where you post this. I will need everyone's info by Sunday night. This is what I need: Daily challenges: we had three. Did you do them each day? Weekly challenge: did you stay under calories and drink enough water each day? Mini challenge: bear crawls: did you do it?

Anybody regretting their decision to join this challenge with a crazy team captain that has your email addresses and phone numbers? lol...

Mission Slimpossible: sorry for the confusion with when things start, workouts of the day, etc. We were supposed to start yesterday with Day 1. If you didn't do it, no problem, you can still make it up. Choose the Pygmy or Bushman series for each day, and once you're done that's one point. Keep under your calories and…

RE: Ann's comment: you can choose to do Pygmy or Bushman every day, it's not a month long commitment. I think this is neat because if you look at the advanced one and it looks doable, you can do it without having to do that one every day. We are all stronger than we think! Try it and see.

I have a Timex http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5G971-Unisex-Personal-Monitor/dp/B000P8VWQS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314930048&sr=8-1 and it's been great. About $40 on Amazon with the chest strap and I get similar readings as other women in my workout classes, so it seems accurate with calories burnt. I love it.

Do a Tabata workout first. There is a series of different ones you can use... just YouTube "You Have Four Minutes Tabata" and there's at least 10 on that channel. Then do the Bushman workout of the day. I have been entering mine as circuit training in MFP.

Don't give up girl! You're such a badass, I love reading what workouts you did every day! Think about this - a family friend of mine is a plastic surgeon and says you don't want to lose more than 1-2 pounds a week or your skin will still sag. Good reason to take it slow!

Congrats on starting day one of September Tribal Challenge! We already have a mini-challenge for EXTRA points. There is pain involved, let me tell you. Here is the quote from Gary: O.K. Let's start this week off right! Since we are short this week I'm offering a mini-challenge. Remember Gym Class? Do you remember doing the…

First day ladies! You can do it !

Wow I didn't realize how many of our people dropped out. We still kicked butt though! Go team!

Alright team I still need weigh-ins for April, Blair, Monika, and Sydney. Feel free to private message or email it to me. I was having a hard time posting mine on this forum today because we all know each other!!! Also funny to note that April, Johanna, Monika, Fran and I were all together eating chocolate cake tonight in…

Is everyone excited for this challenge? I know I am, and I know that makes me an exercise junkie... but bring it! We can handle this. My official weigh in for starting the challenge is 137. I am getting closer to where I want to be :) but... That just makes it harder to lose the last few pounds, so I will be doing the…

Final weigh in - 137 Finished 5k yesterday in 36 minutes pushing both my kids in my double stroller. I would not have been able to do that a month ago. Thank you so much Jules for encouraging us along this journey. You are awesome! Also, I am so impressed to read everyone's progress through the month! Great job, team. This…

I like the idea that advanced and standard get the same amount of points - people just starting out should get just as much credit as those of us who have been doing this a while!
