BTW Nora, although I am in NL, I am an Aussie, so looking like with our Canadian team mates we are diversifying this team beyond usa borders. Nice.
I think the trick here will be consistency and dedication. Starting strong but finishing stronger. I am in another pre christmas challenge (no competition ) and the number of people giving up the moment the scale gets cranky is surprising. Weight fluctuation is normal so let's cheer each other on, and bring us all across the 6 weeks, together.0 -

Too right you are. This challenge is more about being healthy than about losing weight.
Together we can do this. Set ourselves on the paths of healthy eating and exercising habits.
So everyone how was your day?
My steps and water intake was great. I did okay with veggies. But dint do well with my focused macro.
so you guys planning of logging challenges daily or weekly in the challenge logger?
I am gonna go sleep now.
Good night 0 -
