Pick a level. Set a goal. How much exercise can you get in this week?
- Fitness Enthusiasts (Beginners): Log 110 minutes of exercise
- Fitness Buffs (Intermediate): Log 235 minutes of exercise
- Fitness Elites (Advanced): Log 360 minutes of exercise
- *NEW* "You Are What You Eat" (Rotating Monthly Challenge/RMC July) This month's challenge is to try and identify the most important nutritional challenge you face. Are you good all day but then can't stop snacking at night? Is lack of planning interfering with your diet? Are you planning too strictly and then finding yourself melting down on Saturdays? This week you can earn a ✓ by your name on the results list if you select a nutritional goal and meet it! Take long hard look at food journals and set a goal that makes you healthier and happier.
- Pick a personal goal for this week! Let us know what it is and how you did. I'll add a little ★ in front of your name on the leader board if you get it.
So what are your weekly goals? Are you going to be an Enthusiast, Buff, or Elite?

I'm going for enthusiast, again. With the programme alone I should make it this week!
I'm eating too much fat, so my goal is to cut back on the total fat in my diet; it's the one subsection I always seem to go over :blushing:
My personal goal, again, is to stick to my running programme. I have to run at night after the children are in bed and I think just doing that alone is a goal in itself!0 -
Buff for me again.
eating challenge - be more aware/strict about sodium consumption
personal goal - stick to my 5-mile training program0 -
Time to get back at it! I will be going for the buff this week.0

Exercise Minutes: Going to be a "rest" week for me, so probably only enthusiest this week.
Personal Goal: (yes or no & remind us what it was) - Was on vacation last week and ate like it. Going to stay on point with calories this week.
"Variety is the Spice of Life" (RMC): (yes or no & if yes, what did you do?) More protein. I rarely make it to my 130g a day.0 -
I'm going for Elite again this week and I'm hoping for 600 minutes plus. My variety is a strange one. it's concentrating on getting my hours of sleep in. It's something I really need to work on.
Hope to get a hike in on Friday night although how long I manage before the weather closes in remains to be seen. Then again I have the waterproofs and I shouldn't be afraid of the weather.0 -
NOTICE
The rotating monthly challenge has changed! :-) Each month, in the first full week of that month, please be on the look out for a new challenge. Just a quick public service announcement.
Cheers!0 -
Going to shoot for Elite again this week. I'm trying some different routines, which are shorter, but are more high intensity. Tried one on Monday and felt like there were people living in my lungs with tiki torches.0

Well I didn't report in for last weeks challenge. I have been hit or miss MIA these last two weeks.
This week I am going for the big daddy. My personal goal is a burn of 3500 calories. My food goal is to make it one day where I stay within my carb range and do not go over!!!0 -
Hey all!
Well so far this week as of Wednesday, I have logged 135 minutes of exercise! Much better than last week. I did my first day of swimming for the summer and swam for an hr! My arms are really sore today! I really enjoyed the change up in my work out and plan on swimming on every day off, weather permitting!

I've also changed to a higher protein lower carb diet, so we'll see how that goes for the next week.0 -
Exercise minutes: 119 (I log according to the calories on MFP, and then it comes up with the time so the actual time on MFP and IRL will differ). So I made my goal as enthusiast.
My fat consumption reduced significantly over the last 7 days, so I made that goal. (nutritional)
And I completed my running programme exactly as per schedule!
Days logged in: 15 in a row0 -
failed on my exercise, only 175 minutes.
up to 180 days logged.0 -
Exercise Minutes: 240, just squeaked by my buff goal
Personal Goal: (yes or no & remind us what it was) yes, kept on the run training program
"You are what you eat" (RMC): (yes or no & if yes, what did you do?) I did great 6 out of 7 days with sodium
Days logged in: (rounded down to the nearest 5) 1550 -
Exercise Minutes: 660 minutes for 4998 calories burnt
Personal Goal: Yes, to get over 600 minutes exercise. i only just dragged myself over the line by going for a hike last night.
"Variety is the Spice of Life" (RMC): No, I will have to work on getting more sleep as it's been a problem for me for a while,
Days logged in: 120
Last week was not a good week for me and I'm a day behind on my strength training. So this week my personal goal will be to log over 600 minutes as usual but to get in 4 gym sessions. Plus one hike as training for 3 Peaks. If i get my focus sorted it should be doable. For variety I'm going to stick with the more sleep. Maybe I can look at it like exercise minutes. OK that sounds good. I'm going to aim for over 50 hours of sleep this week and see how I get on. What would I do without MFP and the good people within :-).0
