30 Day Challenge

jessicamarie81

Hey everybody!
Anyone can join this 30 Day Challenge starting on 2/14/11----V-Day!
Some challenges have already started and this would be great for newcomers to get in on!

Here's how it works:
To join the challenge simply post your starting weight Monday Feb. 14th and the goal weight you'd like to be at when a month is through by March 14th. It's only a 4 week challenge so keep your goals realistic.
This challenge is open to anyone at anytime!

Sooo...
Every Monday post your current weight (CW)
I will keep track of everyone's weight and will update a day or so after the weigh-ins to keep us on track and help motivate each other!
I will try to post daily challenges which are not required, but serve as motivation and support!


Good Luck to everybody!
We can do this!!
Post on Monday to be in!! 2/14/11 V-Day stands for Victory Day!

I'll give it a shot! I need the motivation so maybe a challenge will help. Hopefully these are things I can do on my lunch hour! LOL

jessicamarie81

Awesome!! I need motivation too as I've been feeling less than motivated the last couple days, hopefully it's the kickstart we need!

This is a first for me as well (the challenge part)! Daily might be hard to come up with, but I've seen weekly challenges like 3500 exercise cals/week or trying a new class/exercise machine/sport/activity. Nutrition challenges are also a possibility. I know those are kind of basic ...but that's all I have! Looking forward to participating!!

Thanks! Daily challenges like drinking an x amount of water or exercising at least 30 minutes, etc....they are not mandatory but will help us stay on track, weekly challenges sound great too! I will see everyone on Monday! Don't be too bad this weekend, LOL

jessicamarie81

Don't forget tomorrow is V-Day...our weigh in day!

oliviawink

I'm all over this! I've been stuck at the same weight for over 1 month despite watching cals closely and working out 4x a week for at least 30 mins. Maybe some of the mini-challenges will kick-start things. Thanks for going this!

I'm inI I'll officially post my stats and my goals tomorrow. But I need alot of motivation. I am trying to lose the last few pounds....but I looked back over my MFP stats, and I've been shocked to see that i've been trying to lose those pounds for the past year. Which is to say, I lose some of them and gain a good deal of them back. Perhaps some part of my goal is unrealistic (not in the sense of too skinny, but unrealistic in the sense of how much I'm willing to do to maintain it)...something I need to figure out along the way. But really...not all of it is unrealistic. A good deal of the problem is how I go about losing it.

My problem is that all the good lessons I learned losing all my obesity weight (consistency, taking it off slowly) sort of seemed to fly out the window when it came to my last few overweight and "vanity" pounds. SO. I am trying to REMEMBER those good lessons. To not to resort to crazy thinking or crazy diets. To be patient. And to be happy with losses of 0.1, 0.2, and even 0.0 pounds a week.

Yes, Tati, that is normal.

Looking forward to the next 4 weeks with you all!

What a good idea! I need something to focus on otherwise I tend to yoyo so this is perfect. Plus I'm new so I hope to meet people who will motivate me and push me. Feel free to friend me if you want.
