    What we're doing is fine with me. Coming within 10 points without going over is a big challenge, especially with carbs, but we need to do it. Protein goal is good. Calories is good. I think within 100 is a reasonable goal. Maybe we should just keep doing this so we get in a groove and get better at it.

    here's the challenge for the month:

    Calories: not over can be at the zero mark and if under can not be under by more than 50.
    Carbs, Fat, Sugar : not over can be at the zero mark again if under by no more than 10
    Protein: can be under by no more than 10 or over by 10

    also note Protein can be 10 G under or 10G over or anywhere in between the two. But not over or under more than 10G. Hope this makes sense

    I am starting back this month. I really need the daily logging. Personal issues have clouded my mind and my ability to pay attention! I am not sure of the scoring system any longer and could use some help. Rachel or Michele if you could look and let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks so much for letting me back In!

    Don heres the rules of the challenge: Calories: not over can be at the zero mark and if under can not be under by more than 50. Carbs, Fat, Sugar : not over can be at the zero mark again if under by no more than 10
    Protein: can be under by no more than 10 or over by 10.

    We earn 10 points for each macro (Cals, carbs, fat, sugar and protein) each day. make sense?

    Best to fuel the body for one day imo. I was confused by your macros, btw. lol

    I was wondering about adding water as another marker. It's important. I know I could use the motivation. I haven't been tracking in forever although I know I drink "enough"... since cutting, I decided to track it again.

    Another 10 points for 8 or more cups?

    120+30 (with water)=150. The strict rules this month is keeping me on my toes. Shows how important pre-planning is.. sometimes it's hard to be under by 10g or at zero. Have to up my game
