I just did an hour on the treadmill...i put in a movie and just kept going...i originally intended for 30 minutes and just thought what the hell i can either sit and finish it or walk and finish it.

YAY ME

I'm too much of a feminist to assume that role based on gender alone. :D

Way to go! Hey, how's that for a team name? "Rock on!"
 
Hey ladies and Trops!!!

I'm Dee. 24 year old Nutrition major from the southwest. Like many of you I have battled with my weight my ENTIRE life and now after 10 years of war am finally winning. I am in normal BMI range but I am shooting to lose another 12 pounds. In my total weight-loss career I have managed to lose 77 pounds and maintain a constant lose for the past 2 years.

My goal for this challenge is to get down AT LEAST 6 pounds (if my body allows, its a little tricky when you get down to the last few). The plan of attack is through cal restriction and exercise. I plan to keep my cals between 1400-1700, that's a 700-1000 cal restriction before exercise. I am also a RUNNER and just registered for a 5k on Valentines Day... hoping to get a PR!!

And that's about it!! I like to lose a little weight then maintain and then lose and maintain, IMO its healthier and it gives your body a chance to catch up!

OH!! Speaking of catching up! I have a SEVERE case of fat girl syndrome... although I may NOT be the fat girl anymore she still lives in my head and I have moments of defeat often!!!! This is another thing I am working on...

Anyway I could blab for days! But I wont bore you!! WE WILL WIN THIS LADIES and MAN!!! There is NOTHING we can't DO!!!!!


Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

:cheers2::grouphug:
 
So with that!! Mark me down for 35 mins of running for yesterday and 60 mins of high intensity salsa aerobics just now!!

Feeling THINER already!!!


OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
 
DEEEEEE!!!!! Glad to see you checking in. I know that you are doing spot on work, so I wasn't worried about not seeing you update the spread sheet. :waving:

Yeah I was swamped at work today oddly so I didnt get a chance to check in, but I just got home and got all caught up on my fitday stuff and the google spreadsheet!!

:hurray:I'm so excited for this!!!! We are going to ROCK OUT!!!
 
Claudia, sorry if i missed it but I have a question about the exercise portion of the challenge. Is it an "all or nothing" challenge? Like what if someone only does 1/2 of the exercise, do they get 50 points or nothing? Just wanted to clarify that come weekly point tally time so there is no misunderstandings.

Yes, the minimum 4 hour exercise requirement is definitely an all or nothing thing. To get any points you must do 4 hours of exercise from Tuesday through Monday night 11:59pm, and at least 60 minutes of that 4 hours must be some form of strength training, yoga or pilates.
 
Funny thing, nobody on team 2 questioned the 4 hour requirement on exercise... oh, probably because they are just actually doing it!
 
*UGH* Im sooo exhausted.I really dont wanna join bootcamp cuz of the weather, i have been putting it off and procastinating but i will cuz it is guarenteed exercise and makes me leave the house to work my ass off...

Ive been tired beyond beleif, havent been getting enough sleep in on my days off or any at all during my work week itself and it has all been catching up with me...

:DLOL:D - Thanx, how do we prevent him from wandering back in?LOL:D

The man is as big as a mountain. You don't stop him from doing anything. You just hope to redirect him to a less dangerous place. :D

It's this kind of dedication (when we really don't want to do something, and we do it anyway) that makes all the difference. Go, Relly! :party:
