    A CHORE OR A CHALLENGE

    HOW MANY REASONS COULD YOU GIVE ME FOR WANTING TO LOSE WEIGHT? IT’S FOR ME, I WANT TO DO IT THIS TIME, IT’S SOMETHING I HAVE REALLY SET MY HEART ON. DEPENDING ON OUR MINDSET IT WILL BE EASY OR DIFFICULT. IT CAN BE A CHORE OR A CHALLENGE.

    SO HOW DO YOU VIEW IT?

    Well, health reasons is a big one. I am 54 and I want to enjoy the next 30 years or so, which means I need to be healthy. Also, when I am not over weight or feeling stuffed into my clothes, I feel so much better about myself. I don't think it is the classic "no self confidence" syndrome. It just feels so much better to be an "average" sized person than an over weight one. That pretty much sums it up for me. :flowerforyou:

    OK - so usually I drink about 4-5 glasses of water each day. Yesterday, I drank the full 8, and maybe a little more. Well - I got up about 4 times during the night to pee. Usually I don't get up at all (unless I have coffee or tea at night, which I usually don't). I am 54 years old and I know age compounds this syndrome. Does anyone else have this problem when drinking that much water?

    Hello Everyone,

    I realize that you all just started your challenge. If it is possible I would like to join. I have been doing MFP since July and have lost weight and gained more of it back. I'm so frustrated with myself. I can work out and burn up to 1200 and 1500 calories a day at the gym my main challenge is eating. I really need some encouragement. Is there anymore space in here to join?

    your doing amazing well done... dont worry about the sit ups just once you kept the carbs down and the water thats the main thing... just do what you can of the mini challenges..
    i was still up at 11 last night finishing mine off ha..

    good luck with todays challenge :)
