I am not sure where the admin is, but we will do the challenge this. What do you want to accomplish this week?

    Holy crap! That is a lot! Can we meet in the middle, like 4000 if your team loses and 3500 if your team wins?

    This weeks challenge is whatever you want to improve on. Example, you drank 5 glasses if water per day last week and this week you want to push it to 7 glasses per day. Or you average 10,000 steps for day and this week you want to push it to 10,500.


    Any fitness or calorie goal you want to work on, this is your week to do it! You set your goal this week-the outcome if your team doesn't matter.

    I was wondering the same thing and trying to think of a good challenge to post, I really like your idea of our own personal goal this week. I am in for strength training 45 minutes each day for 5 days this week.

    I like this idea! My goal is to have 3 days of circuit training this week because last week I had 2 and it was awesome so I'd love to make it a regular part of my routine.

    My challenge this week is to stay under my calories. I had a bit of a hiccup this past weekend and I need to get back on track.

    Record: 1-1

    Instead of editing my previous post I will just make my adjustment here.

    I actually added the calories that I burned last week (9/14-9/20) and the total was higher than I though. It was actually 4877. So, setting a goal of 4500 isn't really going to work.

    So, the new goal will be 5780.

    I think my personal goal this week is to RELAX and stay the course. I have been a little discouraged by the scale not moving, but I am losing inches and I know that I am eating within my limits and exercising 6 days per week. I am not the most patient person ~ and that is apparently the lesson I need to learn. :)

    I feel your frustration. The scale can be the must frustrating thing in the world and that is why a lot if people prefer to measure themselves and focus on how their clothes fit. Inches and clothing don't lie, scales do.

    Just try to be patient and listen to your clothes and the inches. And remember you have support here for those bad days, you got this.

    I am the same way right now. My scale hasn't moved in a couple weeks, and it's difficult to keep going when I'm not seeing the numbers go down. But I'm trying to focus hard on the NSVs...easier said than done but at least I haven't stopped. And as mswanger09 said, we have each other for support. :)

    Agreed .. patience is something I am trying to learn. lol I went almost 3 weeks of eating 1200 -1300 calories a day and exercising 5-6 days a week and NOTHING. Sometimes even a gain. But .. I chilled a bit on the workouts, ate a little more food .. and bam! Started losing again. Good goal for yourself.


    I would also like to point out the differences between the male and the female challenges .. lmao. The male challenge was burn 8 billion calories in a week ( I exaggerate of course) and the female challenge is .. oh we are going to relax .. lololol. Just funny to me. lol

    Female here and I am challenging myself to burn off a lot of calories this week. There are a few other females that have exercise/work out goals.

    And I am no way saying there is anything wrong with taking a break or taking a week off, we all need breaks from time to time.

    Didn't mean to offend, I just got a chuckle out of it, apparently it was just me and my morbid sense of humor!

    Good for you to challenge yourself that way!
