    My son bought me and hubby a new strawberry and banana shake from McD's the other night. All I could think about is how many calories were in it. I had to try it, but I can honestly say I only took about 5 sips:embarassed: It is a challenge, but I'm ready, let's go!
    Hugs and Luck,

    Sure, lets include that as well. Let's start making some rules...

    -No Fast Food
    -Try to Stay Within Calories
    -Complete all Exercise Goals

    We need a name for the challenge as well... should we just call it Fast Food Challenge?

    I think this would be a great challenge , I dont know how everyone feels about the 30 days - that is kind of hard core especially for the fast food lovers:love: .... we could do 2 weeks or go for the gusto 30 days :flowerforyou:
    I am in for whatever

    i think this sounds good! although the fast food is going to be kind of tough!:frown: is pizza (dominos)considered fast food? i do agree with it being just places with drive throughs and not actual restaurants because you can go to a restaurant and still eat healthy. same with subway! but whatever you decide. 30 days may be kinda long but i'm willing to try if that is what you do.:noway: i think it's going to be good having to post if you made cals. it will make me want too.:wink: what will happen if you don't follow the rules?! anything?:wink: can't wait!

    30 Day Fast Food Challenge!
    April 11, 2008 to May 10, 2008 :smile:

    -No Fast Food for 30 Days (McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, or Taco Bell) ...Dominos can go either way: Homemade pizza is obviously better, but if you can't avoid it due to families... eat veggie and small portions!... I personally would say Panera or Subway is fine if you obviously eat healthy and stay under your allowed calories for the day!

    ...Nothing with a DRIVE-THRU...

    -Every Morning I will start a Topic where we can all check in and state specific goals we have for ourselves.
    -In the Evening I will start another Topic where we can see if we made it with out fast food, exercised, stayed under calorie allowance, and succeeded with or daily goals!

    If we eat fast food... Then another member of this challenge can "challenge" you to complete any amount of sit ups, push ups, stretching, or whatever else you might feel is appropriate.

    This will give us a little motivation for our goals and no fast food because if we do mess up... we have other members who will gives us something to do to make up for it! :laugh:


    Everyone please share your stats if you'd like tomorrow...and then the last day of our 30 days challenge we can see how much we lost!

    You can do this... if you have any other ideas to add... rules, thoughts...let me know!


    GOOD LUCK... tomorrow it starts.

    I like you, need a personal challenge (food, not exercise based). I used to be the leader in TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and we regularly had games, challenges etc. It is harder when you are online though.

    I would like an online buddy who has similar goals as me, issues etc.

    I am 42, weigh 188 pounds, 5'7, married 22 years with no children, work full time in insurance as a secretary (sitting on my bum all day), love to cook, love to eat, not lazy but not motivated. I would love to weigh 150 to 160 this year and then see from there.

    I am aiming for 1200 calories but usually over by a few hundred.

    Some challenges you can do are omitting or limiting an item for one week. For example, no more than two cappuccinos (or similar) each day. I also have cut alcohol to only one day per week (either Friday or Saturday).

    If you, or anyone would like to do something, I am in!!!!

    BTW, I live in Australia so we may have a time difference to deal with.

    Karen.

    I just looked over my goal page. I see that it lists my lifestyle as burning 2000 calories a day, but I am supposed to only eat 1200. This is a deficit of 800 calories, which should allow me to lose 2 pounds a week. That's great, but I exercised for 30 minutes today and burned off an extra 421. Should I eat those calories? I don't really want to because I'm not really hungry. I'm thinking about having a protein bar for about 180 calories so I could get some extra protein to build muscle. Any other thoughts?
