    cherrypop1 I think it might be a good idea if we all try and come up with a meal for the carb free day and that way people might find it easier to follow on the day they wanna do theres. I think that an omlette is a great carb free meal 2 eggs some bacon some low fat cheese and some onions and mushrooms you can have this with a nice salad

    if we all add an idea it will make it easier for everyone

    My day is going to me breakfast- Omlette, Lunch- Fruit Salad and dinner Chicken salad :)

    Hi guys, know it's a little late, but I'd love to join this challenge - I'm going back to uni, and I will be away from my mother for just under 4 months - I want her to be really proud of the weight loss she can see by the time I come back, so this would be a great way to do it. I'll send you my starting weight now, if that's OK?

    YEP THATS NO PROBLEM SELLY WELCOME ABOARD ..we weigh in every friday

    ok challengers just something i forgot to write earlier... you MUST log your diary every day and if people could make there diarys public we can all have a look and give advice... of course this is optional but i think its harder to cheat if you know people will be having a peek :)

    and dont cheat because your only fooling yourself... remember if you bite it write it (i heard that somewhere before as im sure most of you have also )
    mine is public but mine is usually all "quick cals" because of the fact some of the stuff i eat on here isnt listed and some of it thats listed isnt even correct to the actual package.

    Hi, I'm not new to MFP, but I am new to chatting. I need help. I tried to do this by myself. I need motivation. I would like to join your countdown to Christmas. What are your rules, what do I have to do?

    This is my thoughts completely..although I'm not keeping up with the exercise challenge, the carb and water challenge has started me watching that and doing much better overall.
    Thanks so much for starting this.

    yay 17 weeks!
    I'd soo love to lose 7kg! that would mean 0,4 kg a week. Is that ok or is it too fast?
    For that, I will continue my 1400-1650kcal a day, do a bit more weight-situps and increase a bit my workout!

    Like that I could fit in again in a dress from 2 years ago, I really liked.

    Just checking in. I completed my lunges yesterday and drank my water. Today is an official day off from work for me, but I am in the office anyway. I will work on my water while I am here, and definitely do the brisk walk later, although the weather is pretty crappy here right now. (60's & rainy).

    I'll add my thanks to Andreaie for her efforts. I ran a challenge last year, and it was disappointing how everyone was gung ho at first, but then very quickly, people disappeared, despite my best efforts. :cry: So here's to the continued success of this challenge, and everyone who is participating! :flowerforyou:

    I don't know if there's anything special we have to do weekly or daily.. today I have to skip my exercises since I'm having an exam and are studying all day long, instead, I'll catch up in the other days for this 'lost' day. At least, I'm inside my kcal. :)

    I know drinking is essential, but.. does it really help us to lose weight? o.O

    Ran 3 miles straight, and my legs felt like jell-o! Loving this group, and the challenges...so inspiring :) Let's stick to it and wow everyone with our amazing bodies on Christmas morning ;) Can't wait for the jaws to drop. That's the only thing keeping me from eating the caramel ice cream in my freezer.
