Walk Away the Pounds - June Challenge
 

Good Morning Michelle and the rest of the WATP gang! :wave:

My goal for June is 40 miles.

This morning I did a 45 minute WATP tape with handweights.

So that's 3 miles today.

June = 3 miles

next?

Hi Ladies!! Thanks for starting the new thread Michelle. My goal for the month is 45 miles. I also just wanted to say thanks for the motivation ladies!! Keep up the great work!!

Julie

I would love to join this challenge!! I do a 2 mile WATP tape almost every day. I am trying to make sure I do a 3 mile one once a week. My goal for June will be 60 miles.

I've got 4 miles for today so far but I'm waiting for hubby to finish repairing some scratches out of my dvd cuz it was skipping so I'm going to do another 2 miles.

Jules - Great to see you posting!! Keep up the good work!!

Cathy - 3 miles is a great start to the month!!

Jazz - Jump on in!! This is a fun group!!

Ok I'm off to do another 2 miles.

TTYL!
Michelle

My goal for June is going to be 100 mi. -- if I walk at least 3mi./day and a few days with extra miles I should make it. At least I'm going to try.

So I guess I better get started. :dizzy:

2 more miles done today I've got 6 for June already!!

Wow Mrs Beasley!! What a goal!!

Michelle

My goal for June is 24 Miles. Today I've done the 1 mile tape :^:

4 mi. this afternoon.
2 mi. this evening.

6 mi. for June.

Way to go everyone --- we're off to a great start. :D

Oh, can I join you? I love my WATP DVDs. I am just starting out again so I will put my goal at 20 miles for June. I alternate riding my recumbent stationary bike and walking. Won't get bored that way, right? ;)

Hi There!
 

I am new to the community, but looking forward to the challenge. I will join you guys and commit to walking 50 miles using WATP dvd. My husband and I have started walking at the local school track in the evening.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about other work out videos that they find effective. I am really uncoordinated, but looking for something to work the abdominal section. I am the classic apple. :o
Thanks in advance.

Minsoo have you looked at Leslies Walk away the pounds ABs? I like WATP because it is really easy and not too dancy. So maybe you would like her abs video. she also has new yoga and pilates videos out you might wanna check those out. go to www.collagevideo.com and you can see a 60 second clip of the videos :)
Welcome to the group.
Michelle

This morning I did a 30 minute WATP 2 mile tape with weights.

June = 5 miles

next?

I want to join too! I love WATP. I use other videos too but I do 12 miles over the weekend. I do 4 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So I think I can make the 50 mile goal. This past weekend I did 10 but technically it wasn't June so yesterday I did a Denise workout and that was 30 minutes but I think I will only count the Leslie walks. I am really trying to lose about some weight about 30 lbs to be exact so I need allot of cardio! I might just do a Leslie walk tonight just to post some miles on here:D! I can only post on the week days because my computer at home is sick:(! But I find this keeps me motivated and moving. Thanks Michelle for starting us off:D!

Welcome to the group Rose! Feel free to jump in.
Michelle

3 miles for me so far today! I plan on 2 more when I get home later tonight.
Keep it up girls!!!

Michelle

4 mi. this morning.

Hope to get more in this evening. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold -- probably got it from my son when he had strep last week. :(

Oh well, maybe I can walk it off. ;)

10 mi. for the month.

Walked 2 miles so far today. Hope to get in 3 miles in the morning. Have a great night ladies!!

Julie

Wow! everybody is doing great! glad to see so many posts!

Even tho I got to bed late last night, I drug my tired behind out of bed this morning and did a 30 minute WATP 2 mile tape with weights. I don't feel quite so tired now. ;)

June = 7 miles

next?

Hi everyone, well i did 2 miles yesterday and 1 today. I'm still waiting for my Leslie Pilates video to come in. Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Julie

Another 5 mile day girl!! thats 19 for the month so far!! I also did 30 minutes of resistance training.
Keep up the good work!
Michelle

Hi ladies! :wave: I hope you don't mind if I join in. I hadn't investigated the exercise forum before, and I'm impressed!!

I'm trying to get rid of a heel spur, so I'm going to aim for a moderate 1 mile a day right now. Hopefully the pain won't be too bad, and I can do more.

Good luck to all of you!! :lucky:

Yayyyy ellis!!! Jump on in we'd love to have you here!! Hey, progress is progress, even if its even a quarter mile a day!!

Michelle

Heyyyyy where is everyone??

Michelle

I'm taking today off Michelle.
But I will be up bright and early tomorrow and get in 2 miles.
Are you walking today?

Thanks for the welcome, Michelle! :)
I played soccer for over an hour tonight, which I'm going to count as one mile. ;)

Hi guys!!

Cathy - I took today off from walking today too but believe me girl I got a good workout in, I cleaned hotel rooms for my work today and I was sweating up a storm I cleaned rooms for 6 hours and I counted 1.5 hrs of it toward my exercise for the day.

Ellis - Way to go!! I would even go so far to count your soccer as 2.5 miles because the people who do equator trek count every 20 minutes of exercise as a mile!! Keep it up!!

Jack - Glad to hear you had a great walk!! Its great to have you here!!!

Have a wonderful evening guys!! I am planning 6 miles tomorrow! No resistance training cuz my arms are KILLING me lol but it feels good!!
Michelle

I am jsut getting serious with walking and would love to join the challenge. My health depends on it

Welcome Hope!

We all get our exercise in using Walk Away the Pounds videos by Leslie Sansone! Do you have them? Which is your favorite? Are you currently on a healthy eating plan? I use South Beach as my new way of life and I love it! I hope you stick around so we can get to know you better.
Again welcome to 3FC!!
Michelle

Hi everyone!! It is so great to see our walking group grow. Welcome all new walkers!! My church had our annual festival this weekend and I helped out both Sat. and Sun. I'm exhausted. I counted 1 mile each day since I was doing alot of walking around. I am taking the day off but will get back in the swing of things first thing in the morning. I plan to at least get a 2 mile walk in. Have a great night everyone!!

julie

Hi all,

I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't walked in 4 or 5 days. Boy is it going to be hard to get back into the habit. My husband surprised me with a romantic weekend out of town at a victorian bed and breakfast for our anniversary -- needless to say I didn't get much walking in. I'll be out of town this weekend also. Hopefully then I'll be able to get back on a schedule and work toward my goal --- maybe I shouldn't have been so optimistic huh?!!?

Looks like our walking group is growing -- that's great! Keep up all the good work everyone! :D

4 more miles for me today!! 23 for the month! I did 4 miles and 15 min floor toning and 15 min resistance training. Keep up the good work.

Mrs. Beasley: by the way what is your real name lol I always feel like I'm back in school talking to my teacher ;) I hope you had a great romantic weekend!! Some day my hubby will learn the art of romance but in the mean time I'll take him as he is! He's special in his own right ;)

Goodnight girls!!
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

My real name is Vickie. It took my hubby 17 years to do something romantic so don't lose hope ;) -- and I think he had coaching from some friends of ours.

23 miles already! That's great!!!!!

Hey gang! :wave:

I've had 2 really late nights in a row (have I told yall that I have teenagers) so I was not able to get up and do WATP yesterday or this morning, and I am not too happy about it either! :mad: I am to the point that if anything messes up my exercise routine then I am not a happy camper. :nono:

But I just got back from walking 2 miles during lunch.

June = 13 miles

next?

Good Morning Gang! :wave: is everybody walking???

I was able to get to bed at 10 last night, so I got up at 5 this morning :cp: and did a 2 mile WATP w/weights and then some situps and tummy leg lifts!

June = 15 miles

next?

Well, I haven't walked yet, but I just did 30 minutes on the bike and an hour of weights with my trainer!!
Good going, Cathy!!! :hat:

BTW, I posted this link in the pedometer thread. If anyone is interested, it's for charting your step progress... you can print it out.
I used it last year, and it really got my motivated.
