Week 1 Challenge: Make a Game Plan
Often it is easy to get lost in the idea of having 12 LONG weeks to make your goal. You might feel a little lost or overwhelmed. You may even get off track or fall off the wagon altogether. One way to avoid this is to MAKE A GAME PLAN! Think about how you are going to succeed. Desire to lose weight is great, but without a plan to do it you may struggle or fail. Take a look at your goals and see what you need to do to meet them. Our challenge is set up to have 2 mini-goals and one final goal. Outline what you want to do in 12 weeks, but really set out a plan for your first FOUR weeks of the challenge. Think about diet, exercise, and a schedule. What do you want to achieve and how are you going to do it?
Week 1 Refection: Accomplishments & Timeline
Weight-loss cannot always be seen with a number on the scale? Often times it is found in the fit of our clothes, the ability to do a task/activity, or in the eyes of others. What are five things that you want to accomplish during this 12 week challenge? When during the challenge do you expect these accomplishments to occur?
My 12 week challenge is to continue on the path I have started for myself for better fitness and healthier eating--and most of all to shed 2 pants sizes. Since my results to day have been mostly in inches and not in pounds I am setting little NSV goals to make myself not get too wrapped around the axle when the scale doesnt budge like I think it should.
1. Finish my 30 Day Shred Cycle -- am on day 9.
2. On weekends make sure to do exercise outdoors (biking, hiking, etc)
3. Although I love water I need to drink more.
4. Only allow myself ice cream once in a while (I love ice cream)
5. Make sure dont mess up all my progress when I go on the 3 week road trip with my husband.0 -
BUMP :flowerforyou:0

Ok, in the next 4 weeks these will be my goals:
1. drink at least 5-6 glasses of water a day without feeling sick. ( this is def my biggest challenge)
2. finish 30DS
3. go down 1 dress size comfortably, (but I want to at least squeeze into 2 sizes smaller-more motivation!!)
4. knowing and being able to make better food choices
5. start and be in the middle of C25k.(able to complete by aug 1.)0 -

Good luck guys!0 -
Hi guys, I love this challenge already! I'm in a pretty stressful patch in my life and had dropped back into my old habits of eating/binging when stressed, but just reading the words "make a game plan" flicked a switch in my mind and made me determined to find another way to cope, instead of just eating.
Over the 12 weeks I want to look at three main areas:
1. Week 1 - 4 focus: Bingeing - work on some strategies to distract myself, plus try to work out just when and why I do it and how to change!
2. Week 5 - 8 focus: Exercise - I'm training for a 12k race in August so am running to train for this, but want to step back and have a look at what I do during the week and work out how to fit in some other kinds of exercise/strength training too.
3. Week 9 - 12 focus: Nutrition - I've been mostly looking at calories in/calories out for the last 5 months and it's been pretty successful, but I think it's time to have a look at the macronutrient breakdowns and work out what is best for me and how to do it.
As well as these 3 areas to accomplish, I also plan to:
4. Buy size 12 jeans by week 6
5. Run 12k in the City to Surf - I'll be on the beach for the start of week 12!
The game plan concept is great, because it reassures me that I don't have to do everything at once. I'm feeling a bit guilty for not working on an exercise plan and how to be eating better and how to stop binging etc... but now I've decided to focus on one thing at a time, I feel quite relieved and confident that I can do it, one step at a time.0 -
Love roller skating, I wish there was a place close by, Have to dive an hour to get to a rink. It is such fun you never realize what a work out it is:)
I'm looking forward to the stage when I can skate without waving my arms around like a chicken. I also somehow manage to fall over when I'm just standing still... and holding onto the rail. It's a heap of fun though and I definitely feel it the next day!0 -

Great job for weighing-in everyone!!
Just so you know, I have your starting weights set as what you have down for:
6/9: ***start of challenge***
I've noticed that some people's weight don't match. The same is true for goal weight. Just make sure that if you have mulitple start/goal weight listed that they match up otherwise you'll be telling me later that I don't have the right numbers set for you. If left to my own devices I tend to err on the side of caution and make your goal to lose smaller rather than larger. Just double check your numbers when you are posting. The last thing I want to do is chart your numbers incorrectly.
