I vote no on the new thread each week. I cannot keep track of it if there's a new one to find each week!

Are we going to start a new thread each week this one is getting pretty long already?
Laurie

I vote yes, as long as a link to the new thread is always posted at the end of the last thread that is closing, so we know where to go and when.

I have been doing my weekly weigh ins at a work support group on Tuesday, but I am happy to move it to Thursdays for this challenge, as well. I am a serial "weigher"! I will find myself stepping on the scale everytime I go into the bathroom!! I have curbed it ALOT over the past year or so, so I am going to really challenge myself to to stick with this challenge this week! I will only weigh in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, for my work support group and our challenge here. Deep breath, here I go.....stay away from the scale!!! )

I apologize for not checking in with the challenge thread over the weekend......I really do not have a strong preference for starting a new thread each week. I don't know that it will make that much difference to me, so either way, would be fine.

Second, I wanted to share a little bit of my weight loss "plan" for the rest of the challenge. I am cre-ommitting to my food journal! I missed that over the weekend!! I want to focus on nutrient dense foods, avoid processed things and increase my protein intake earlier in the day. I have Shakeology protein shakes and I am committing to drinking one EVERY DAY!!! Next, I am re-committing to my C25K walk/running plan. It is 3 days a week, totally doable and this time I won't hurt myself by trying to "over do it"!! I have severve tenditnitis in my elbow right now (which I did while trying to overdo the weight liffing with ChaLEAN Extreme!!!) so I need to focus on lower body, core and cardio.

My new mantra is "What do I need to do TODAY to be healthy??" I am trying to focus on the positive, one day at a time, and stop the negative self talk I have indulged in for years!!!
Thanks for listening!!!

New thread. This one is waaayyyy toooo looonnnggg already.

janiscurry

Yes - We should have a new thread for each weigh-in week. (New Thread)
No - We should stick to the same thread until it gets locked and are forced to make a new one. (Same Thread)

I vote yes for a new thread each week and specify the week (Week XX)

I agree.

me too!

jpsnickel

I vote new thread too. That way the week's goal/challenge can be posted and no one misses it. If conversations need to be continued, we can continue them on the new week's thread. And I'm in another group that at the end of the week, the gal in charge posts the link so we all know where to go and don't have to go through all of the other motivational challenges. And you can always go to "My Topics" to find the challenge (if you have posted).

Jennifer

P.S. I am a serial weigher too! My weigh-in day has always been Thursday, so I'll keep that, but then I'll also check Monday to see how much damage was done over the weekend =(
