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
- "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?

Remember to think up a personal goal for the "You are what you eat" July rotating monthly challenge! Only two weeks left!0

I'm going for enthusiast again. I will aim to maintain the control over the fat component of my diet (RMC) , and my goal for the week is to include more snacks in my meal plan as well.0
-
I'm going for the buff this week.
I'm going to make the general goal of logging and completing my diary every day as I've really been slacking on that lately.0 -
I'm taking a week off from lifting so I'll be going for enthusiast.
You are what you eat goal - watch sodium again
personal goal - stick to 5 mile training program, which means hitting 3.5 miles Sunday, my longest yet.0 -
I will go for buff again this week. I think my "you are what you eat" goal for the next couple weeks needs to be to cut out sugars. I want to stay away from bad carbs for 5-6 days of the week. My personal goal is to do an ocean swim, and during my pool swim to be able to do actual "laps". I usually have to stop to breathe at the end of the lane after just one length of the pool. I think I am ready to push it to do a whole lap without stopping.0

Hey everyone!
My personal goal for the week is to be better at supporting my friends on here. My food goal is to stay under my carb allotment 3/7 days this week. I want to hit the big dog daddy this week as well as far as minutes worked out.0 -
I am going for fitness buff.
Nutritional challenge:
Eat breakfast before 10 am. I always skip and then have a hard time cramming in my calories between lunch and dinner and then end up eating too late, especially on exercise days.
Personal goal, drink all my water daily, two bike rides, one hike, and one ab workout.0 -
My goal for this week is to make Elite again. I'm off to a slow start, but I'll pick it up for the rest of the week.
RMC - I'm trying to switch to a higher protein/lower carb eating plan. I didn't make a drastic change (35 protein/35 carbs/30 fat), but it's something I want to try. I'm quickly finding it harder to meet my calorie goals for the days without going over my carbs. I still meet my calories, it just actually takes some work.
My personal goal is to get in three strength training routines and three good cardio routines as well. I'm really trying to balance my workouts.0 -
Exercise Challenge level- I would like to go for Ellite this week. I am already at 180 minutes logged as of today!
Personal Goal: I need to make it through work the rest of this week with out emotional eating to much...this week, on Thursday, marks 8 years since my Mom has passed away. I need to try to work out instead of eat my feelings, like I know I can do.
"You Are What You Eat" (RMC): I already know that my problem is that I love my sweets too much! I need to stay away from the sample tray at work for the rest of the week!0 -
Didn't make buff, although I followed my training and did strength training, so that's ok. Got 197 minutes.I will go for buff again this week. I think my "you are what you eat" goal for the next couple weeks needs to be to cut out sugars. I want to stay away from bad carbs for 5-6 days of the week. My personal goal is to do an ocean swim, and during my pool swim to be able to do actual "laps". I usually have to stop to breathe at the end of the lane after just one length of the pool. I think I am ready to push it to do a whole lap without stopping.
I've logged in 320 days!
Got my water.
My food goal was not met, I will try again next week to limit my simple sugar intake to twice a week.
I did my ocean swim, and plan to do it again every Thursday morning as often as possible. Will be doing laps again tomorrow.0 -
Exercise Minutes: 720 minutes for 5012 calories burnt
Personal Goal: Yes i managed 4 gym sessions and a 3 peaks training hike
"You Are What You Eat" (RMC): no I couldn't think of anything I needed to change.
Variety is the Spice of Life: No, I had aimed to get more sleep which with me working the night shift and starting work at 5.30am every day just wasn't possible.
Days logged in: (rounded down to the nearest 5) 125
I'm pleased with some aspects of this week. I did really well with the gym and enjoyed my sessions. Felt good to be back where i needed to be and will look to do 3 sessions next week. I went for a hike which may have just been for 2 hours but it felt good and i will try for a hike next week as part of my personal goal. To add to that I'm going to try for over 700 minutes again. I didn't do anything for You are what you eat but that was until my fibre problem came up. So next week I will try to limit my daily Fibre intake to no more than 10g over per day. This is going to be really tricky as I really enjoy my fruit and my wholemeal foods. But as it's what's been causing my problems it's an issue i need to deal with. To add to this I'm going to try and up my water intake to 9 cups or 2.5 litres per day.0 -
Exercise Minutes: 385 minutes logged
Personal Goal: (yes or no & remind us what it was) no, I didn't do too well with avoiding the chocolate at work

Not my best week with exercise by far but I did take my calorie intake down by 300 and I had a super busy week. No more excuses though...time to get back in gear....on a good note I did break my over 4 week long plateau with weight loss this week :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
