8 WEEK BATTLE
Replies

wow i'm sooo confused on eating my exercise calories??? hmmm all i know is that my eating plan is not eating over 1300 calories0
-
hmmmm...having people to join in the middle?? ok....but that's not going to be fair for the new people to join if they join lets say in the second week or any other weeks past because they wont have as much points as we do probably do you see where i'm getting at?0
-
I was actually meaning for the first week having people join. I understand the point that you are trying to make.0
-
I am going to count it then as long as I dont bust my calories (including the exercise calories). I try to actually only eat about 20% of my exercise calories but it totally depends on how hungry I am.
I am down for a new thread with the stats everyday if thats what people wanna do. It looks like we are a small group so it should be easy to post. I am a good sheep, but I am also keeping a weekly record in blog form, if anyone has any questions about what I have done
. 0 -
ok cool!!! i'll have this open for the rest of the week for anyone who wants to join....
ANY BODY IS WELCOME TO JOIN FROM TODAY til NEXT MONDAY after that the challenge is closed
so can anyone point me to this thread about eating exercise calories???0 -

I met the challenge of drinking 8 cups of water today!0
-
Congrats
. I did too (in fact I almost doubled it)
I think that today's challenge should be regarding exercise. How about we all try and get at least half an hour of exercise in.
(P.S. If anyone else wants to make challenges, feel free)0 -
I accept the challenge and will work on coming up with one for tomorrow.0
-
I met the challenge for today as well... here is tomorrow's challenge (which is a personal struggle I have).
Dont exceed your fat or calorie allotment for the day.0 -
I did not make the challenge last night....ended up spending two hours at the car shop waiting for my car....double exercise tonight hopefully.
I accept the challenge 0 -
Sadly I failed. Date night with the BF and he picked a place and I didnt prepare what I would eat ahead of time. Tomorrow is a new day. I am going to keep that as the challenge for the whole weekend. I am going to my sisters and I need to stay on top of my eating habits while there. If you wanna thrown on any exercise challenges too, I will tackle those too.0
-
I did much better at eating today. I still gotta make it through the weekend.0
-
I failed as well. Yesterday was good though. Got lots of exercise in due to the fact that I had a holiday. Today is not looking so well. Hoping to get lots of exercise in as well today to try and outweigh the fast food and doughnut i had this morning.
Need to work on water for the weekends as well, maybe that will be a future challenge (for the weekends).0 -
I am down for any new challenges. Weekend water challenges are a good thing I sometimes have a hard time getting in the 8 cups I need. I did good yesterday with my food intake again. I have to watch my food intake though, if I don't work out then I overeat. But If I go walk/job for an hour I have the calories I want to eat.
Kinda puts me in a predicament of having to exercise everyday (not necessarily a bad thing)0 -
The weekend wasn't a really good one for me. It's been the hottest it has been here this year so far so I'm still adjusting. I'm slowly working up the water on the weekends. It's a little difficult because I haven't had a routine in place. Went over on calories most of the weekend because I was feeling a little sick Saturday night so I was trying to eat stuff that would calm my stomach yesterday (mostly bananas).
Week Challenge: Get at least half an hour of exercise in per day, and drink at least 8 glasses of water.0 -

Hey team. I'm going to have to fill this in tonight when I get home (I know that it's not ideal but I woke up extremely late). I did not complete the weekly challenge as I didn't get in enough water or exercise for a couple of the days during the week.0
-
fill it in when you can. Its all understandable! 0

It looks like it just might be the two of us in this battle.
Congrats on the weight loss.0 -
