I have a back injury that's keeping me out of the gym, so it's pretty much all up to dieting for me.

Welcome everyone!! :flowerforyou:

I don't really have any rules...just wanting a place for SUPPORT!! You can choose whatever day you want to weigh in on. I weigh daily (I know, bad me), but Friday is my official day. Since we are starting today, how bout we make Wednesday's our day to report? I am considering doing a chart and will plan to post it on Monday's.

Challenge ideas...? you can participate or not. something simple or difficult??

- daily water intake
- exercise/activity
- diet....fruits, veggies

feel free to make any suggestions!! do we want to give our group and official name??

Christie23

It's my first group, but I love the idea of doing a water challenge and a fruits and veggies serving challenge. I have learned to play the calorie game very well, but I don't know if I think ENOUGH about how many servings I'm getting of fruits and veggies. It would be nice to make a game of it.

was wondering if you have a starting weight..getting ready to add info to a chart! thanks!

This is AWESOME!! over 20 people already! Feel free to add me as a friend! I have a meeting soon and will check in again before bedtime...with a challenge for those participating! Challenges will run from Thursday to Wednesday...and Wednesday (when we post our weights) a new challenge will be given.

Have a great Wednesday eve all!!

Should have a challenge of 30 pushups ( from knees or toes ) a day... is a free, muscle sculpting excercise that really works the chest, arms and upper back. Let's be honest, who of us would like to show up to a holiday meal.. with sleek tight arms????

ziesergirl_66

ok, so for our 1st challenge, I think we'll keep it simple. How bout increasing our water intake? this is no problem for some, but difficult for others. The recommended daily allowance could be a debate, but if you're on the low side, try to increase it, and if you're just wanting to improve, here's your chance! We all know there are a many benefits to drinking water...so fill up your cups, glasses, bottles and canteens...and go back for more!

This starts tomorrow, Thursday 10/20 and ends next Wednesday 10/26. Good luck everyone!:drinker:

re the push-ups...good idea! that is one of the areas I dislike the MOST. I think with all the yo-yo dieting I did for 15+ yrs, and never any resistance training really damaged my triceps. Not sure I can do much there, but I am willing to try! I have a question tho...is it ok to do push-ups every day? does there need to be a day or 2 off between working the triceps? I don't want to be doing them every day and it not being beneficial. I always hear about taking a day off so muscles can repair and rebuild...don't know if push-ups fall into this "theory"? anyone?

How did everyone's day go? Mine was ok. I think I am under calories a little, but a big improvement from yesterday. I managed to get outside and do 2 separate walks. It has been f.o.r.e.v.e.r!!

See you tomorrow!!
