    Hi guys :)

    My turn to do the challenge today :)

    It's a two parter, if that's OK - and it's an individual thing really, cus I want you all to go to bed tonight, feeling like you've achieved something for yourself:

    Part A - A FOOD ADVENTURE - it's important that you mix up your healthy food, so that you don't get bored, and slip into slightly naughtier habits... so today I would like you to find a fruit or vegetable that you've never tried before, or haven't had since you were a child, and eat a 'portion' of it - here are some guidelines on portion sizes: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Documents/Downloads/5ADAY_portion_guide.pdf

    Part B - THE BIG PUSH - everybody has that exercise that they really hate. I love working my legs, but lifting 17stone of woman is a tough job, so tricep dips and push ups are my nemesis. Other people hate crunches, and work on their obliques, whilst some can't stand any work on their bum! So I'd like you to pick out the TWO toning and strengthening exercises you dislike the most - be they mountain climbers, jumping jacks or squat jumps and do FIVE SETS OF 12 REPS. It's not easy, and it's exercise that maybe you don't like, but think of how proud you'll feel after! :)

    Report back to the the thread and let us know how you got on, and what exciting food you discovered!

    Also, keep that water intake high, and those carbs low - that's my big challenge for today :)

    xxxxxx

    (hope this is OK!)

    hey girls and guys...

    i must say that the girls and guys doing this challenge are extremely supportive and very motivational and i hope you are to...
    hope you enjoy it keep us posted on your progress and if you have any questions feel free to put it up here im sure someone will answer it for you very quickly ...

    Did squat jumps, mountain climbers, and star crunches. Owww....
    The weird thing is I love it when it burns in the morning. As I'm wriggling my sore legs into a pair of jeans, I'm just like "YES! SUCCESS!" So now pain = good :)

    Great job everyone ♥ <-- just learned how to do that after...a long time. so excited :tongue: expect to see l-o-t-s of hearts

    Hi guys,

    I am in for this!

    New here so picking everything up.

    I used a simillar site a couple years ago and got down to 18st, now i have crept back up to 21 stone after too much binging.

    I felt last time that having people to talk to really helped.

    Looking forward to a slim christmas! Can never resist the big xmas dinner!

    :D
