in Motivation and Support
**This group is closed with a full roster. We wish our fellow fitness pals every success on their weight loss journey's & hope to "challenge" with you in the future!**

Reminder from inital post for this challenge:

July 18th - Initial Weigh In Week (Starting weight for challenge)
July 25th - "Week 1" weigh in
Remaining weigh ins" 8/1, 8/8, 8/15, 8/22, 8/29, 9/5 (final challenge weigh in)

We will keep a weekly log tracking:

Sleep (7-9 hours) (1 point for each day during the week you hit ths range)
Water - 8 glasses/day (1 point MAX for each day you hit this minimum)
Exercise - 1 point per 20 minutes (half points can be earned)
Food - 1 point for each day you log or diary your food intake

Example: On Monday you slept 7 hours (1 point) got in your 8 glasses of water (1 point) Exercised for 60 minutes (3 points) and logged your food (1 point) = 6 points for that day (set up a little chart for yourself with 4 rows (sleep, water, exercise, food) and 7 columns (Monday - Sunday our "challenge week)

All of the above are linked to successful weight loss, so our attention should be focused there. Every few days I'll post a question, a challenge, or something along those lines (please PM me any suggestions you have)

    Love this week's challenge - I think it will be really beneficial for me. Sorry I haven't been as active posting in the thread as I would have liked, but it's just been moving too fast for me to keep up! I've been reading along though and everyone is doing awesome!

    I'm a little nervous about weigh in but feel like I had a good week, I only completed one day of this weekends challenge but was super busy with out of town family as opposed to just being lazy so I don' t feel super guilty only a little. I always preplan my exercise days because I work twelve hour shifts sometimes so this week should be an easy challenge. Will post my weight and points tomorrow night...keeping my fingers crossed!

    Try adding 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water before bed. You'll probably wake up a couple of times in the night to go potty, but it'll help drain off any extra water weight! (I used to do it on my WW weigh in days. lol)

    Only got 3 point for today, didn't get in all my water.
    My total for this week was 29 points.
    Today was my weigh in day so I'm down to 152. A loss of 1.2 pounds.
    I will do 30DS everyday this week even though I am on vacation. Me and the family will also will be doing lots of walking. I'm looking forward to a good time with they and hope to see some beautiful scenes here in the Great Smokey Mountains.

    Hey all, my weekly points totaled 31, as far as my weight I forgot to do before I ate breakfast and had my three glasses of water so I'll have to do it in the am and I'll let you know what it is. I didn't get my sleep points last night but did make a good choice in not getting canceled at work ( if I stayed home I would have laid on the couch and ate) so hopefully work won't be horrible but at least busy e no ugh to help me burn some calories. Hope everyone has a great Monday...thinking happy thoughts for everyone's weigh in!

    Had a so so week. With school, being leader of a weight loss support group and work, finding free time to exercise is becoming a challenge, Total just 18 points last week but promise to do better this week.
