Hi -

I'd like to join this month. Please put me down for 1200 minutes.

Just got back from a 3-mile walk, so I'm already at 50/1200.

Thanks,
Laura

50/1200 did 40 on the elliptical and I've done about 10 minutes of ab work today!

Thanks for hosting again Cam!

Howdy. My goal for this month is going to be 1000. I was so close last month. Hopefully I'll blow this month out of the water.

May 1 - 38 minutes walk/run on treadmill.

38/1000

I went for an evening walk around the apartment complex and the pools looked so tempting I had to hop in for a few quick laps.

I squeezed in a quickie 13 minute walk this morning before work, then walked to/from work. It's not anywhere near my usual, but it is certainly a start!

woo hoo! that's 10%... did a "brisk walk" this morning with the hubs. It feels good. It's nice to be able to post the number - great motivation!

My pleasure, Tracey! I find it very motivating. great start!

I'm starting out the month on the right track:

87/2500

I have to weigh in every week for a competition I'm in and I gained 1/2lb. It's the first time in 10 weeks I've had a gain and I'm pretty disappointed BUT it's motivation to work harder this week. I only have a couple weeks to go so if anyone has any tips on how I can lose as much as possible before my final weigh-in (yes, overall I'm doing this healthy, but I have a shot at placing) let me know!

Good luck on your competition! I have two friends who have recently won biggest loser competitions. One got cash ($10 per participant) and an entire year of health insurance premiums paid. I'd love to hear more about the one you are in.

Howdy. My goal for this month is going to be 1000. I was so close last month. Hopefully I'll blow this month out of the water.

I am so jealous! Obviously, you live somewhere warm enough to do that. LOL! It is cool and raining here today. Blech!

How awesome, walking to work!

Good morning all!

Did a 37 min run last night to start off the month. Have a workout DVD planned for tonight.

Jilian Michales kicked my butt again this morning! Day 2 of the 30 DS. I lost 1.1lbs since yesterday!

New total:

120/1400

I am going away this weekend on a mini trip and just found out our hotel has a fitness center and indoor pool I am hoping to be a good girl while I'm away!

I decided to push my goal up to 1500. I hit 1200 too easily last month and I figure that, being my competitive self, if I set it too low, it's not really a challenge. So, I am very intimidated by the 1500 number, but am hoping it will really push me to work out more.

My half-marathon training plan starts on May 27 and I am determined to start the training program much stronger than I am now. I also started the process to work with a personal trainer and am waiting to hear back about the suggested PT's availability to take on a new client. Oh, and I also asked at the Y about whether there is a nutritionist on-staff. Trying to attack these last 45-50 pounds from all angles.

I am unhappy that I missed my deepwater aerobics class Monday night to take my husband to pick up his new car and I am missing it again tonight for a Special Olympics meeting. So, I dragged myself out of bed and went to the gym and did 60 minutes on the elliptical. I need to get back into the routine of morning workouts in addition to the 2 nights/week of time in the water (better for my knee).

I am now at 60/1500.

Finally found you! I'm in for May as well. My goal is 1200 for the month, so I hope I can make it this time. Thanks Cam, for starting the May challenge!

Yesterday I did 30 minutes on the wt machines and 30 cardio.

So glad you found us. Nice to have you on board again.

Hey, I just realized we have 25 challengers already signed on! How cool is that? That is how many total signed up last month. I am really hoping the list grows even more this month.

 

[disneychic2]

Could be how close we are to bathing suit and shorts weather (for those of us in the colder climates that is.) Good luck everyone on reaching your goals!

 

[kelleydea]

Good morning all! Seems like everyone is off to a good start.

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday, so I walked 35 minutes outside. I will make it to the gym today though!

Hi Cam!

I'd love to join again if that's okay. I'm going to put 1200 as my goal. I have a few more committments this month and no races to train for after next week. I don't think I'll be able to put in the same hours I did in April but hopefully this will keep me going!

Thanks!

Hi, Vicky! So glad you are joining again this month. You did great last month. Lots of people have set 1200 as their goal. Good luck!
