Welcome to Week 4 Everyone!

***NEW: Please post stats for Week 4 in next Week 5’s Thread***

Feel free to make comments in that's week's thread. I thought that this might promote more “talking”. We’ll continue to post results for the previous week in the new week’s thread. This week, you can post Week 3’s stats either in Week 3 or here. I’ll be checking both places.

Week 4: Exercise and Meet Your Calorie Deficit Challenge

• Earn 1 point per day for each day you meet calorie deficit
• Earn 1 point per day for every 30 minutes of exercise.

Like last week’s challenge, hopefully this one will also help you meet your calorie deficit!

Cheers and Hope everyone is having a Great Memorial Day Weekend.

Last week's deficits didn't go very well... I only had 400+ deficits on 3 days so I don't expect to have lost weight!  I am very glad for this week's challenge because I felt lazy last week and did very little exercise.

I posted this info in another thread (#37): http://caloriecount.about.com/lbs-lose-post-d aily-meals-share-ft138699-1#37

This is about saving planning time by sticking to two menus from Mon-Fri.  Please feel free to give me any feedback.

Hi Hi HIIII!!!

I couldn't weigh or post yesterday, for week 3, so I'm hoping it's ok to do so now, and that you haven't added up the points yet cdanda?? Great job by the way, this challenge is excellent, and you've been steadily losing weight.

After not losing for the first few weeks, this morning I was really please and surprised that I weighed what I did!! Here are the results:

Week3

Team: 1

Starting weight: (0) 165.6 (1) 166 (2) 166
Goal weight: 150 (for end of challenge)

Week 3 (May 26) weigh in: 163.8

Week 3 challenge points earned: 4 for fibre (I'm English, so that is the correct spelling here, not that I can't spell!!) 5 deficit

Total points earned: 11(weeks 1 and 2) + 9(week 3) = 20

Bring on week 4!!

Nice work buttonsxandxbows. I'll  be adding them up tonight. I figured some laxness was OK with the Memorial Day holiday~

I am so sorry I was late, I posted on the week 3 thread by mistake.

Please let me still in.

Team: 1

Points Earned this week:

Deficit: (goal: 700) 1+1+1+1+0 (only about 300, darn)+1+1=6

Exercise: (goal:45-60 mins/day) 1+2+2+3+1+1+3= 13 (happy dance) ----> Actually just 7.

Those above will remain my personal congrats points for actually exercising this past week.

Sorry I misread, so my total points would be: 6+7 = 13

Starting weight: (0) 139 (1) 137.5 (2) 137 (3) 137 (4)

Goal weight (for week four): 135

Week 4 challenge points earned: 13

Total points earned: 20+13 = 33

Wohooooo, I made my personal challenge

[Edited]

Hey, I'm really loving this challenge. :) Yoohoo. I did the water & the fiber one as well, but TTOM sabotaged it. I'm one of those lucky ones with very bad PMS and worse PostMS syndrommes.
