I want to get a One Plus for my next phone. Fantasic specs at much lower price than other flagships.

What kind of excercise is the burpee. Can anyone explaine. Thank you

A burpee is an AWFUL exercise move that blast the air right out of you! Just to do 5-10 will feel like death!

(really good for you)

Stand up, arms up, jump down into a plank, do a pushup, jump back up and jump, rinse, and repeat.

Omg that sounds dreadfull.... Well i hope u doing great on this challenge. My sleeve is due in june. Im 210 Lb now. BUT I WILL CERTAINLY DO THIS CHALLENGE STARTING MARCH.

Hmmm
Got it! It may have been too complex...
I *could* host another one. New phone arriving tomorrow. And o could make it very simplistic. I will see if there is a need/want for a March challenge.
Thanks for the feedback [emoji738][emoji738][emoji738]

Im in for march

I'm in need! I've bailed on the February as we were traveling a lot, but I'm here now!

??????????????

Ok team MARCH will be mindfulness focused, yoga exercises ,low stress & pretty chill... filled with random selfies and chatter too. Creating thread soon

??????????????

You and me both. I might have actually died once...

DAY 27: One day left in the challenge. I made my goal of losing 7 lbs! That may not seem like a lot, but I'll take it!? I had stalled for awhile and I think the different exercises made the difference. Yes, I still look like an uncoordinated chicken doing the jumping jacks. But I can do them!! The burpees continue to be a challenge, however I can do more of them now, then at the beginning of the challenge. I'm really proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone of just walking for exercise.

Last day!!!

Day 28... LAST DAY! LAST DAY LAST DAY!

• No junk food since last check-in: CHECK! I will take it as a given that there will still be no junk food until midnight tonite
• 1m plank + 1m side planks SORT OF. I did the minute regular plank, and I did about 20 seconds on my right side only. Screw the left side. I went to hot yoga this morning. I'm excused.
• Public Self Loving #23 Selfie with "I love myself" sign: PASS.

Feb 1st weight: 168.2 lbs
Feb 28th weight: 158.8 lbs

Total weight loss in Feb: 9.4 lbs

Challenge Review:

• CHECK! Complete No Junk food Challenge: I had zero junk this month. Though "no junk food" is more my normal way of eating anyway.
• SO-SO. Complete Plank-Challenge (less the mountain climbers): I did not do all of them, as I missed probably 4 or 5 days, and there were days that I did attempt but did not complete. In all, I think I did more than I didn't do, and I'm ok with that. Also, I HATE PLANKS.
• CHECK! Weight Loss Goal #1: 162.5 lbs : I reached 162.1 on Feb 23rd. Now I thought this would move me out of the obese category and into the "overweight" category, but apparently I am shorter than I thought I was so, for my actual height, I need to get under 158.7, which is a mere 0.1 lbs away...sooooooo close!
• NOPE. Weight Loss Goal #2: 156.8 lbs : I wanted to get to this weight to weigh less than Mr., but it'll have to wait until next month.

Thanks again @GreenTealael for hosting this challenge but I'm never joining another plank challenge again.

Dear Team,

You are beautiful, courageous, unique, amazing & worthy at any size. Thanks for joining me in this challenge.

It was definitely more difficult than January's challenge. I decided to jump rope after i nearly passedout planking ?so March's will be laid back, peaceful and easy. But i still want people to set realistic personal goals and smash them !! So join me again!!
