30 miles completed for me.

My challenge for this week...a little late, but this is what i've been doing since wed anyway.... Cardio- 4000 calories and to make my days as active as possible. I'll be taking lots of walk with baby, going swimming with him, and getting in my regular work outs with him in the morning and again when my husband gets home.…

One more idea....eliminating the team aspect might make everything easier. The teams were put in to motivate, but if we were in one big group MAYBE it would be just as motivating. It would eliminate the problem of people dropping out or of team captains not getting everyone's point tallys and weights. I don't know how…

Love all of your ideas, Karie. Thanks for all your hard work. Regarding group size....It would be great if we were all on the same forum (One group page would make it easier for us to motivate one another.), OR if our groups were a little bigger, to help to keep the group forum pages a little livelier.

Welcome Janny! How has everyone been doing with the challenge? I've been following the Pygmy challenge, but have added a couple of things from the advanced challenge as well. Ajessie-how did the interview go?

I'm here! haven't worked out yet today, bit did a lot of walking this morning. I was thinking about our next challenge, after our 6 weeks is up. Maybe, as a group, we want to start giving Karie some ideas, just to help her out a little. I can't imagine that its easy to come up with something new every week. That being…

Con-interference from electronics can cause HUGE discrepancies in heart rate and therefore in calories burned. Mine gets interference from treadmill, cell phone, tv, pretty much anything. But it's great for outside.

Yay! If you need any help, just let me know.

Is anyone interested in a part two to this challenge? I'll be sad to see this one finish. It would be great if we could 'graduate' a group of us to a second set of challenges. I would love to see something with calorie burn tracking and weekly goals in various areas. Is anyone up for this?

Got my strength moves done and a 2.5 mile walk/run....now off to bed so that I can do it all again tomorrow!

I agree, the explanations were very wordy! I took a look, but gave up reading. Not sure if I am going to be able to get those done. Definitely not the way that was suggested (rest days in between). I may just have to not get points for it. I've been doing other strength moves, but am staying away from too much arm stuff. I…

I love the skinny taste website, only downside is that it's very slow to load, half the time I give up on the site before I find anything. But great recipes!

Hi everyone, I just started Ripped in 30 last night. Not sure if I will do it every day, but i'll try to keep up!

Hey everyone! Did all the physical challenges this week and stayed under calories but didn't drink enough water. I tend to struggle with my water intake quite a bit, so I'm going to really have to push myself to drink what I need. Looking forward to seeing how everyone else did.

There's also the fact that many people are hesitant to compliment women about weight loss cause it can be a sensitive subject. I know that I would be much more likely to say something about weight loss to a man than a woman.

That would be really difficult. Yes, women tend to lose slower, but it also seems that men put it on quicker. Not that that's any consolation to you, but our bodies are just so different. No matter what he will never look as good as you in a little black dress! And his body will be much less fun to dress up once you both…

Ha! And here I thought you were some big potty mouth! Thanks, though! Im not too sure what's going on. I've upped my cardio, food has stayed about the same, but not really seeing results. I guess I'll have to do some adjusting with my diet. Not too sure how the next couple of weeks are going to go. My husband and I are…

Were your readings going high and low? Or just high?

Good advice, I'll look into this.

Has anyone had any luck fixing this by just changing the battery in the chest strap, or in the watch?

No lb loss for me, either. But today is a new week and a new set of challenges. Good luck everyone.

New challenge.. WEEK 7 Challenge: (Karie, please add a week 7 section to the calorie spreadsheet. I'm not familiar with google docs and I'm scared I'll screw it up. lol!) Nutritional Challenge: Calcium – meet or exceed your calcium goal every day. Worth 1 point Strength Challenge: Build muscle tone in your arms as well as…

100 miles for me, please.
