    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

    it does help with losing weight.. when you eat anything salty your body obsorbes all the water in your body so when you drink it your body realeases any toxins and water that its storring.. also if you dont drink water you body holds onto every little bit that it gets and that will make you gain weight so drink as much of it as you can...
    the main challenge shoude be on page one or 2 of this thread its basically to weigh all your carbs and saty under 150g a day with one carb free day :)

    ooo may try and do some in work and then the rest when i get in, although i've been tempted i haven't weighed myself, hoping for a loss but i know T.O.M might have something to say about that!

    I had an anxiety attack today....
    I ate two sausages, cocconuts and an icecream, only in the morning.. it was sooo hot, I was soo hungry.. and I already took only from this 600 kcal! I feel so ashamed..
    :(
    trying to be more careful these days, and do a bit of extra workout!!

    daily carbs 150gr are liiike.. pasta, bread, rice and such? It's the only thing, no restrictions on proteins etc? I'll see page 1 and 2 now :)
    And will do the squat-plank-challenge today!

    I'm going to the gym late this evening, but what is a plank? I'm going to stop weighing myself every day. It's misleading.

    I drank my water, not more than 150gr carbs, did squats and planks and 50 min of bodysculpt with weights.
    I stayed under my daily kcal, but in the morning I ate too much of the wrong stuff. :(

    so thats another day over guys we are getting closer to the weigh in (3 days) so we really really need to push hard for the next 3 days if we want to see maximum results on friday...

    if you have had a bad day dont worry about it you can pull it back... a lot can be achieved in 3 days if you put your minds to it....

    LETS DO THIS !!!!!

    Day is done. Drank most of my water, did the squats, was within my calorie goal, walked at lunchtime, rode stationary bike for 30 minutes...BUT opted out on the planks - just ran out of time / motivation. :cry: Tomorrow is another day. :laugh:

    Today was a hard day for some reason. I wanted snacks all day, but even though I didn't use all my calories in the healthiest way, I did stay in my calorie limits. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

    I would love to join your challenge. I'm going out of town Saturday, Sep. 10th (sister is having surgery) and won't have access to a computer until I return (around 26 Sep 2011). I'll check back on here when I get back and play "catch-up". I definitely need some motivation and I think this sounds like a great idea you have!

    today will be my carb-free day..as I decided it, my mother started making pasta, buyed bread, was making homemade yummy crackers... :sick: :grumble:

    Is anybody else struggling with the 8 cups of water, or only me?

    Speaking of challenge, I so not have strength in my arms.. doing so many, even with the modified version is terrible. xD I'll try it though, if I'm not able, I'll just do the rest with situps or squats!
