Okay, here's our first challenge everyone. :devil:
It's essentially for those of us who work out and exercise (possibly) on a daily basis.
The Challenge Requirements:
1) Complete your food AND exercise diaries every day - from start to finish;
2) Post (on the Challenge thread) your goal(s) for the upcoming week (Sunday - Saturday). Anytime Saturday is ideal;
2) Post daily comments (on the Challenge thread), either you had a great day or down day (so we can follow our progress and not get it mixed up with the general chatter). Try to encourage each other on same thread - keep it going until the end;
4) You don't have to detail your workout unless you want to, but give a general description, each (end of the) week;
5) Summarize (on the Challenge thread) what worked best for you and your overall experience that week;
6) This will be a one month challenge - end date of February 13th, 2012;
This will be a closed Challenge, limited to ten members only.
We will have simultaneous challenges for others that may involve similar elements. This is the first of many to come this first six months of 2012.
Good luck guys~

Count me in too.
My exercise challenge for this week (which started this morning) is to run 2.5 mins for every 1.5 min walking (as opposed to the 2x2 I have done for last week), for 30 mins every morning. Just completed my food diary for today (pls ignore the alcohol hehehehe). :drinker:0 -
Hey guys -
Thanks for participating. We'll wait until tonight to start officially.
As you're probably already logging in your exercise and food diaries anyway, this shouldn't be very much extra work, besides the actual workouts you'll be doing during the week.
I'll keep a spreadsheet and we'll see where we stand each week!
Remember, other members will probably be watching and cheering you on, so be true to yourself and just go for it!

Okay guys, looks like it's just the three of you (AND THAT'S OKAY.)
We will start our challenge tomorrow. You guys have your rules. Just do what you are already doing and give us your projected goals tonight, so we know what you're shooting for!
Keep track of this, and I'm certain, you'll see improvement and feel a difference!
It's so much doing this with partners than doing it solo and losing your focus!!!
Good luck guys!

my goal for this week is to finally be under 190 or at least at 190! It's at least over a year since i have been under that weight. I have two lbs to lose to get there. I lost two pounds last week so i'm hoping to do it again!
i already know that i will complete my dairies today. I have only missed one day since starting.
As for working out today, I will be doing 30 day shred and then either yoga or pilates.
Yay challenge!0 -
Goal(s) for the upcoming week (Sunday - Saturday): drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water everyday this week
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!0 -
My exercise challenge for this week is to run 2.5 mins for every 1.5 min walking
Done for today. really struggled to the point where I felt like puking for good half hr after which is weird cause I was ok with it on Sat morning. Never mind, tomorrow is another day 0 -
The challenge is already motivating me. I might have gone a bit easier on myself this morning if I didn't have this challenge as a good argument against the lazy voice in my head, so thank you. love it
