    Hmm,
    ~Do some form of exercise/workout 5 days out of the week for at least an hour a day.
    ~Bring your lunch to work every day and only drink water (that was my challenge for myself for the month of June..and I kicked its butt!!) ;)

    I love all of those!! I also think an "eating right" challenge might be good...getting in at least 2 cups of veggies per day, 1 cup of fruit per day, etc.

    I vote calorie burning got to move it to loose it!!

    How about burning your 4% aimed loss x 100 over 5 days in one week.

    So mine is 7lbs so x100 = 700cal so over 1 week is 3500!! That's 1lb equivalent or

    Skip the technicality an aim to burn 3500cals each week!! :-) ?!?

    How about a water challenge? Meeting your daily water intake for the entire week. That's a tough one for me!

    Add the above poster's "water only" to this and this one's is going to be my personal challenge to myself regardless

    I love love loev the idea of mini challenges throught the month of July. My personal challenges are to eat no sugar and drink no caffiene. Of the challenges listed my favorite is the accountability for working out. I think that would be the one for me to keep my most honest with my progress.

    I plan to exercise five days a week (I'm doing power 90), packing my lunch and snacks everyday and drinking only water and unsweetened tea. I hope I can make it!

    Think my mini challange will be to walk at least 30 minutes per day, and strength train at lunch with any extra will just be I hope more motivation to continue.

    Does it have to be one thing each week? How about cut out soda and chips? With the 4th of July being in the 1st week of this the soda and chips will be harder to resist at the BBQ's.

    How about eating 4-5 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

    I know that's a hard one for me, but willing to try.

    Really like this idea. I currently work out every day for at least 30 min. But the weights not moving so maybe i need an hour.

    I think a water challenge and a new activity challenge are good. Then we can add calorie challenges along the way.

    I think an exercise challenge because it will get us moving! Lots of us may already only drink water, eat healthy etc... but everyone can benefit and lose weight with the exercising :). I liked the 3500 calories/week challenge.

    Make space for atleast 45 mini of intensive exercise and I bet its will feel awsome by the end of the week I
    And no excuse not to exercise.
