Exercise challenge: Our goal this week is to burn 600 calories a day (or more) for 5 days and 300 for the other 2 (3600 calories for the week) . You may do this with any exercise or group of exercises you like. If you need to modify this to do less of a burn or more of a burn do it!
Make it work for you!!


Non exercise challenge: Try incorporating at least one of these into your days.

Drink a glass of water before every meal.
Eliminate fast food and fried foods.
Don’t eat carbs after lunch.
Eat protein with every meal.
Consume apples and berries every day.
Cut refined sugars and grains
Cut artificial sweetners
Replace white potatoes with red (or better yet, sweet potatoes)

Hi, what do u count as a real breakfast???.

MajorMusic13

I'll do what I can with calorie burn... Have to take it easy this week and next- drs orders- but I still want to see the scale move down.

The food challenge sounds close to how I usually eat anyways, so I'm game.

March 8: 400+ cals burned, Had real breakfast, water before every meal, no fried/fast food, apple consumed, no added sugars, protein with every meal.

@midgetgem2013‌ I would count real breakfast as something you (or someone else) has to actually make and has good protein and fiber to get to going right. Like an omlette, oatmeal, fruit and yogurt parfait with granola or nuts, egg sandwich...etc. Not a protein bar.
