- Did you do at least 2 hours of exercise over the week?

I exercised a total of 9 1/2 hours.

- What was your result with drinking the correct amount of water for the challenge?

F: 128oz
S: 148oz
Sun: 128oz
M: 148oz
T: 100oz
W: 100oz
Th: 64oz

Total: 816oz

I didn't notice a difference in anything. I ate like a fat pig 3 or 4 days out of the week. I do so well during the day then I tend to binge at night. I suck. I can exercise for hours but I can't get my eating in check. *sigh*

- What's your new weight?

198 lbs.
 
I strongly doubt that I will get any lunges or squats done this week.

My exercise time is pretty solidly taken up with the walking that I know that I need to do. While I was in my main weight loss phase I was walking often double the distance that I now walk - and I consider 6.5 miles to be the barest minimum since going into maintenance. LOL - friends have been suggesting in my diary that I should increase my distance while my weight is high - and I probably would if it wasnt for the blister...

Fortunately my legs are pretty strong from this - so I do not think that lunges and squats are going to improve my muscles too much.
 
I have a question about the challenge ... are the squats and lunges counted together? Like if I do 60 squats and no lunges, and someone else does 30 of both, are we tied? Or are they counted individually?

I ask because I'm not sure my knees can take lots of lunges, but I know I can do at least a moderate amount of squats.

TIE!
1 squat = 1 lunge!


P.S. I just got home from school, and I am updating all the stats and making a new grid to show the results!!! It'll be up today!
 
Week one results!!

While six of you competitive challengers met the requirements for the water challenge perfectly, only one of you also had the highest percentage of weight loss, and therefore WON the challenge...


Put your hands together for...

Well, look at the grid first... :reddevil:
I work really hard on these super grids, and I just want to bask in it's greatness for a minute...

*BASKING* :coolgleamA:

Did you find the winner...

It's...

OMEGA!!

Great job, now get to squatting!!
 
I am awed by the beauty of your chart!

Just to be clear, a lunge is like a big step forward then with your back up straight and one foot forward, you kind of dip your knee towards the ground?

Thanks...
I have to say that the weight loss would be mainly water retention - (which would be aided by drinking water) and drinking water is not nearly as difficult for me at my current weight than it used to be. I guess you kind of get used to some things when you are nearly three years into a project. (You still need to go to the toilet more often than the average person though - including through the night)!
 
Well done Omega!

I'm going to enjoy this weeks challenge I think. I don't particularly like squats but when I had a personal trainer in summer 2009, he'd make me do 30 kettle bell squats x 3 x 3 sets in a 40 mins session....eek!! It used to kill me but I could see the difference it was making. So I'm aiming for this week to push myself...I won't be able to do anything like those numbers, but I want to push myself until I actually can't do any more in the day :D

Plus...I want to still drink at least 2 litres of water a day so last weeks hard work doesn't go to waste!
 
Yay Margaret!!!!!! congrats on the win and the weight loss!!!!!!!

I am not that great at lunges and squats. I did forty yesterday, none today. Maybe I'll do some later :).

I'm the same, I really want to push myself with this week's challenge ... and keep up the water intake :D
 
Yeah I really like the idea of these challenges being accumulative...so each week you ADD something to the list as opposed to pick it up for a week then drop it.
 
Question, how should pistol squats (single leg squats) be counted, should say 10 of each leg be counted as 20 or 10 or should I not bother including them in the count ?

I'm gunning for you Omega ;)
 
So Last week not so good on the water. I gave my weight of 219 a day later it jumped to 222.8 then was down to 220 and that is where it remains. So today I am 220 #'s. I still have 1 week of walking on the treadmill until I am medically released to go full out. However I will be taking part of the lunge and squat challenge!!
