I just got back to it. Last week I logged everything on Myfitnesspal and stayed within my calories (for the most part). I was going to start a walking plan this week but I have done something to my right big toe so, off to the doc it is.

I'm in! I'm just starting so this will be a good motivator!

So far so moderately good. The hubs wanted ribs tonight so, I indulged a bit but only went over by 200 calories. This is super good for me who is just getting on the bandwagon again. I'm not even counting on Sunday. I'll be on my calorie goal tomorrow and may even a lot the calories for a Cadbury Caramel egg. :)

Got my first mile in today!

Hi! I'm just starting this week and I just saw this post. This is perfect for me, I love to have a challenge!

Hi! Can I join you guys? I'm 34 and a returning member. I did well on MFP before especially with a little help with friends on here. But, life got in the way and I fell off the wagon. I'm a mom of 2, 11 and 12, and have a wonderful marriage. I would just like to do something for me to feel better. Plus I got a brand new…

What about doing something really easy this week. How about making sure we get 10 miles walk/run this week.

Ok ladies I NEED HELP!!! I feel like I'm losing and gaining the same two pounds. ERR... I was wondering if you could help motivate me. I really would like to lose 20 pounds by my husband's cousin's wedding in February. I think it is doable but this recording everything and being meticulous is getting to me. BUT I know it's…

Yesterday's RAOK - I made my husband oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies even though I felt like crap all day. He really like them. :)

My good deed - I brought my son and neighbors to their bus stop again today (rainy and cold again this morning). But, the deed was passed on! My son felt bad for the kids who couldn't fit in my car so he got out and stood with them in the rain! I was so proud of him!

Hello! Congrats Team A! My good deed today, I drove my son and our neighbors to their bus stop this rainy, cold morning. I wish I had a car to fit all 6 kids in my car. :)

I feel like I'm failing at our challenge this week. I have been to the gym running my heart out on the elliptical. I've been really pushing myself at the gym too. I'm doing a pretty good job on my calories too, it's just not showing in our challenges. I'm sorry. :( I am excited to say that I have a new accountability…

OMG!!! I got in 30 minutes on the elliptical and when I got home, my daughter's drama has totally sucked me of my energy. WHY???

I'M READY!!! I'm working all week so this might be a bit of a challenge schedule wise. I have to pick up my kids at various places at various times this week too. But, I will do this!!! I'm not sure I can do 50 pushups in one day so, I'll probably spread those out over the week. :)

Here is the youtube video for 21's. Skip to about one minute in. :smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xLcsg-5Dw8

That's what I was thinking. A more general goal that we all can reach in a way that we like. Like I HATE running but, I love to walk outside and run on the elliptical when the weather is bad. My doc asked me to focus more on cardio at the moment. I'm trying to do that but, I need some motivation so working on something for…

HELLO?!?!? Are my fellow Booty Pillagers out there? We are awfully quiet and I think that is NO GOOD! I hope you are just busy rockin' it!

I'm will Naomi on this one. Although, I think I might have them written down somewhere. Would we be able to do a mile goal or a minute moving goal next week? I'll admit I'm getting bored with the Gary exercises.

Geez, life got super busy at the end of the week and BAM is Sunday. Totally missed redoing September's week 5. No worries, fresh start tomorrow!

I wanted to share with you my Jumping Jacks. I do Wacky Jacks instead of regular jumping jacks. I have some tendonitis in my left foot and jumping hurts. I like these better because it works your obliques and I'm noticing and slimming on my sides. Here's the youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDr_EVKxEws

Epic fail on my water today. I didn't even hit 64 oz today errr.... Tomorrow is a new day!

My keyboard has a mind of it's own. I hope you all are having a FANTASTIC week so far. I'm promising to be an encouragement everyday! We need it! :flowerforyou:

I'm taking advantage for the BEAUTIFUL weather we have going on here in Chicago. Supposedly, it is going to be like this into next. Mid 70's and sunny! Off for a walk!

My legs are on fire from our squats yesterday. My planks are done for the day. It's so nice here right now that I'm going to go for another walk outside tonight. :)

I did 50 of each thing today and WOW my quads were stiff. But my wonderful walk around my neighborhood after dinner today helped a ton. We're off to a good start in October

I have not heard from Gary today. I haven't seem him on the feed at all and the blog hasn't been update. Should we assume that maybe we are starting tomorrow? I'm going to go for a walk, it's so nice here today.

I'm not creative with names so I'm good with Booty Pillagers. :) I'm Libby. I'm a substitute teacher and a stay at home mom. I also play the violin and you'll see that pop up here every once and awhile. I live in McHenry, IL, a far northwest suburb of Chicago. I've been struggling with my weight most of my life (I'll be 33…

Maybe someday we'll all walk 1,000 miles. :ohwell: That's half between Gwynne and I alone.
