    Good morning everyone and welcome to the FIRST DAY OF THE CHALLENGE!!!!

    So, there is a time-difference here, I guess, right now its 7.30 in the morning at my place and I am going to check in again and write my calories for the day later tonight.

    So here are the 26 (!) participants:

    sgcorley
    cat_gray78
    fitnessminded1
    marinaro22
    izzuod
    paulasuscas01
    phinax
    courters123
    SonyaKay86
    Anumtah
    parkdweller70

    It will be very exiting to see who are still among us on november the 30th! :D

    You need to POST HERE EVERY DAY and write:

    Date: Oct. 27.
    Goal: …….
    Today: ……..
    Balance: ……..
    Am I doing great? YES/NO

    I will keep an eye on the your YES/NO and there will be no mercy - if you have written NO three times and there is a fourth…. We will never see your likes again. (in this challenge).

    My goal is 1200 calories - but additional when I work out. So my goal is really to stay within the green zone!!

    Ok for the slow learners: If I work out and burn 300 calories and I eat 1300 calories my endofthedaypost will look like this:

    Date: Oct. 26.
    Goal: 1200
    Today: 1300
    Balance: +100
    Am I doing great? YES


    NOTE!!! This is not the place to post about your awesome weight-loss-progress, we dont want to know! Maybe some of us aren’t seeing results at all and this challenge is all about focusing on the PROCESS and not the result.

    SELF-DISCIPLINE, people! Lets do this together!!!

    If you want then feel free to add me as a friend :)

    Best of luck to you all!!!!!!! I am so happy to have everyone in on this! :D
    We will make this a november to remember! :P
