Okay, so this is for people (like me) who can't stick to a plan for more than 7 days without going craaay.

So basically all I wanted to do is stick to your daily calorie goal, whateve that may be, for 21 days.

I keep going over mine and am quite a bit in excess at the moment...so I just wanted some form of accountability/motivation. For every day you do, just type the number of whatever day you're on in this thread. If you break a day, start again.

I'm starting 18th

    This is something that I defiantly need to do. I do not log everything because I go over.

    I know I can lose weight because I have done it soo many times. However, I cannot stay motivated for longer than a few hours. I need to lose weight to get my bp down. I hàve tried the Dash diet ànd I think that is the answer just need to stay motivated. I need to get my butt out of the house and walk. Any help from others will be helpful.

    I missed my goal yesterday.... :embarassed:

    Today will be Day 1... I will check in tomorrow.
  • Today is day 4 of logging everything and I am down almost 8lbs, pretty good start!

    PS....how do you get your weight tracker in your posts? I've tried to copy and paste the link but it isn't working.
  • I'm the same way- consistently over ugh! I like this goal, and will attempt to start tomorrow. A lot of imes I'm under after I workout, but I want to not have to use the exercise to get to the number of calories I'm supposed to be eating

    Today is Day 7...here comes another weekend! It looks like I will have to do some type of exercise today in order to eat well and remain below my calorie goal.... maybe a 30 minute walk?

    so I don't think I mentioned I did 21 days of "perfect logging" in the past...I stayed well under my calorie goal, and I got amazing results-lost about 5 kilos. I didn't think of it as a challenge, but I just logged like a robot.
    I also recently found the before and after photos of that 21 day period, and I'm quite surprised, even if i do say so myself. That was enough to keep me firing through today's 21 Day Challenge!
    I still can't believe the results...I want to be that size again!
