Let's do our O with GUSTO this month!!! Are you ready to go 5 days a week? I'm planning to use the chi machine to increase the oxygen intake. Do what you can to get all the oxygen pumping through your body this month, okay?

Watch your calorie intake, and drink lots of water. Let's see how many pounds and inches we can lose together this month. Each week we'll add together everyone's losses. Just come to this thread and report your losses every Sat., and we'll add them all together, okay?

Let's have FUN losing together!

Okay Susanna...I'll try. I can promise I'll get my O! done 5x a week. I'll work hard on doing it with gusto and watching my calories. A real challenge this time of the year!!! I do have that extra 10 pounds I want to get off....

Okay - I will try my best - I guess that is a good reason to get myself measured, something I have wanted to do for months now. I guess I will do that in the morning then!

Lin

Wow! This is awesome! Kelly and Shelby and I are all on the board at the same time this morning!

Thanks for joining me on this challenge ladies! I had to measure for it, too. I hadn't bothered to for a long time, but inches are so important!

Is there anyone else who wants to join the challenge? I just thought we might need extra inspiration through the holidays! Even if you don't usually post, you can join the challenge and share your progress with us.

Susanna

Susanna,

Are we all supposed to be measuring the same spots? Some do more measuring than others I know. It would only make sense if we state which places we are all going to measure?????

Lin

You're right, Lin. I should have specified that we'd measure the four spots that Jill recommends- bust, waist, hips, and one thigh. That's what I understand anyway. How does everyone else measure? I realize that it's important that we lose other places too, though, so if someone wants to specify something else, feel free to input here!

Susanna

I know I am being a pain in the Butt! Do you measure hips 8 inch below the waist?

Lin

I measure triceps, waist, hips, thigh and calves.

Hips: I don't measure eight inches down from the waist I just try to eyeball the center of my hips.....where it looks the widest! and of course you'll have to look in the mirror!

Big B, little b, what begins with B? Lin, you're NOT a pain! I also just measure at the fullest point in my hips.

Susanna

Sigh....I don't have any losses to report today. I haven't done as well with calorie intake as I should have, I guess.

I'm tickled though, with the number of stickers on my calendar for Dec. so far!!!

I hope others have made more progress this week!

Susanna

I can't believe it's already the 10th -- yep, it's late in the game, but I'm jumping in TODAY and joining the challenge. Thanks for roping me in, Lin!

I did Level 3 this morning and PROMISE to get my O! in each morning. Just one O! workout per day. I CAN do this. LOL

Be back soon with an excellent progress report!
