I have a Flex and have some concerns...for one, if you're going to use it as a glorified pedometer, then you're in business. However, it doesn't seem to even get the steps/distance right! I have my stride entered, etc...but when I walk to our local rec center, it's 2.8 miles each way. It gives me credit for 1.51 - just…

Did a hybrid version somewhere between the beginner and advanced...due to some "lame" issues :) (foot and knee), I have to modify some...can't run at the moment and have to be careful on squats and lunges. Did most of these plus a Turbo Jam workout, plus my physical therapy appt!! I'm tired now..a GOOD tired, but tired!!…

As of 1/30, start weight will be 184....Oh, I wish I was where I was after our last challenges!! Time to get there and KEEP it there!!

Sherri...I DO believe that's YOUR expertise!! I nominate you the maker of the mascot!!

Loved the old challenges and, after some slippage, I'm ready to hit it again!

I've heard that book is good...also, if you want to take it outside the home, look for a local Body Pump class...it's a great way of lifting and its fun because you've got great music going on too!

hahahahahaha.....wait till you get a gander at these folks being referred to here..... Cirque show "O" at the Bellagio....incredible show...pricey, but an incredible show. Mystere at Treasure Island IS a good show too. Ka was ok, but probably my least favorite of the cirque shows that I've been to there. Have a WONDERFUL…

So, was your flight amazing? That would scare me...I'm definitely a white-knuckle flyer!! haha!!

Ladies, ladies, ladies....the end of October has arrived...amazing! I want to thank you all for being so driven and seeing it through to the end...and to Jules...you're the absolute best captain! Unfortunately, life got in the way for me to be an effective and ultra-supportive captain the last week or two, soooo....Jules…

More great work reported for today!! I'm impressed!! My day: Cals under....yep!! Water over....yep!! Challenge exercises.....yep!! Great job everyone!! I'm too pooped to pop, so I'm retiring a little early tonight....g'nite!! See y'all in the morning!!

I AM!!! How much you add to your fund so far now?? You've been without for a couple of weeks now, at least, haven't you??

Then you STILL would have hit Jae!!

Wow!! Fantastic night everyone!!! Jae...Just making sure that you know that JULES shot you there...not me!! Her aim is a little sideways... :tongue: Renu....Enjoy that empty nest for a couple of days...take advantage of YOU TIME!! Randi..Great to see you're getting your workout in despite the overtime situation....food…

Yea!! I'm SO psyched to see the exercicses changed back to the overboard in October type....if I had to do another swimmer's press I was going to cut my arms off!! hahah!! Nawww...they've just gotten old.....I LOVE these challenge exercises!! Plan C....you're MINE, you scalliwag!!!! Keep up the great efforts…

Where a great surprise is just THAT, it really IS hard to operate without a plan isn't it? You DO know that you can make up the exercise part anyway right...or count that as your rest day and do the exercises from yesterday on Sunday! In order for this lifestyle to work, flexibility IS needed...I've found that out many…

I'm too pooped to pop tonight!! Sooooo, I'm just going to make this short and sweet....I see everbody is kicking booty....although there seems to be a vein of "tired" and "grumpy" running through (including myself to an extent!!)....It's mid-month...we still have barely over 2 weeks left...we can do it!! Just think how…

Everybody that has checked in so far....you're all doing an outstanding job!! I'm so proud of you all!! My day today.... Cals under Water over Sodium...under....hey, I'll take any little victory I can get even if it's not part of our challenge!! heh, heh!! Challenge exercises....done....including the 2 extra miles from…

Oh Noelle, I struggle with this more than I care to admit!! I make SURE that I always have water or tea around me and I'm not shy about swiggin' it down...sometimes something hot makes it even more effective!! It's said that sometimes you aren't REALLY hungry, you're actually thirsty..and it looks like you're just drinking…

You're doing great, Renu!! Hey, if you feel like you can push one exercise to the next level on a daily basis...GO FOR IT!! Really!! I mean, how are you going to know if you can do it unless you just try?? ;) You know from Sept, we're all about trying to push it to the next limit!!! :)

JACKIE!! That's fabulous!! I'm SO impressed!!! Love the one-eyed-jackie reference...made me giggle!!

Ladies, ladies, ladies!!! What a great day to be a WENCH!!! :devil: Did everybody pick an exercise that bumped them up just a little bit today?? It felt GREAT, right?? You accomplished it!! My day today.... Cals....Under Water....over All challenge exercises....check...ummm, with the exception of the extra 2 miles...I'll…

Hi ladies!! Looks like everyone's having a great day!! Here's my challenge to you all...if you typically do Plan A, do at least one exercise from Plan B tomorrow....same thing from plan B to C....just ONE of the exercises from the next plan!! Can you do that?? Of COURSE you can!! Don't let any lilly-livered skalliwag tell…

Contrary to popular belief, Capt'n Jules did NOT throw me overboard!! T'is been a busy weekend and, now that I'm back at work, I have a little time to "visit"!! hah!! You all have been doing a superb job...keep it up!!!! Randi!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOUUUUUUU!!!! (Lucky for you, you can't hear me sing!!)

Just checking in quickly...back to room painting and running back and forth catching glimpses of the Buckeyes annihilate the Huskers...yessssssssssssssssssssss....had to get my food and exercise logged anyway before I lost count on a day!! Successful days yesterday AND today with the food, water and exercise!! Completed…

That's fantastic that you were able to do a quick research before ordering!! I do that all the time and it helps that decision making SO much!!! I bow to your resourcefulness!! ;)

How DO you keep that huge brain in your head?? :laugh: GREAT post, sis...I know that talking myself through especially exercise has brought me to where I am now. I SO didn't want to do it at the beginning...now, I SO want to! I got tired of hearing my inner voice tell me "5 more minutes, 3 more laps, 4 more presses"....now…

Jellybean!!! I applaud you for your making it through such a rough day!! Been there, done that....well, maybe not with the car problems, but with kid problems...and must I say, I laughed right out loud when Buzz Lightyear needed to make a call!!! hahah!! These are the times that it's not funny when it happens, but you'll…
