I already do some of these challenge ideas right now(exercise, no eating after 8, no soda).
here are my votes:
2 & 3
i am having trouble w/ the 6 hrs of sleep. have a 3 yr old that is still sleep eating on me. lol but I am willing to try.0 -
Tabbykat, I totally understand your challenge. Our 4 year old and one year old are usually co-sleeping with us. Last night I had the 7 year old on my feet. Silly kids!0

I think number 3 is a good challenge. I know I have really been trying to replace most of my drinks with water instead and have been doing pretty well, but don't always drink as much as I should/could.0
-
I would vote for 2, 3, & 6. I humbly beg that we not do the workout for a certain amount of time in the morning...i have to get up at 3 to get to work on time, and I'm just not sure I can make myself get up at 2 to squeeze in a workout!

Looks like we have a lot of water-challenged folks! I admit I am on that wagon as well.

That was my vote, lol, have some major sugar probs as the holidays bear down on us!0 -
the reason I would not vote for 8 is that natural sugar in fruits show up the same as processed sugars which I don't agree with. If there were a way to seperate the two I wouldn't mind that one but there isn't.0

Right i don't understand why not there so much technology out here.0 -
Since macros seem to be my challenge how about 2 days out of a week we eat a macronutrient change for example if your setting is mfp defult then do 50 carb 30 fat 20 protein. Or 40/40/20 or 35/35/30.Sometimes changing up our macronutrients can help you find your sweet spot.0

I'll do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10. I'm not doing 8 because I'm hypoglycemic and if I don't have enough sugar, I'll go comma and 11 because I'm not working at the moment. I'll do 1 because my six hours need to be at NIGHT. I keep sleeping at bad times and have no set sleep schedule. I do not eat enough fruit because it costs too much, no "but fast food is more" speeches please because I don't eat out. The only food I even eat out is subway plain turkey, no mayo when my mother brings me one which is rare. I need to avoid the scale because just like a Japanese teen, I hit the scale at least twice a day. I'm a freak for it and if my weight fluxes at all I either starve myself or workout too much till I cramp. I really need to start working out when I get up so my shower actually means something instead of showering only to be sweaty again in two hours. I always snack past the two hours before bed margin and I need to stop. Seven really isn't an issue, but when someone brings me a soda, I can't help but drink it. This is again, rare, but I need to really cut it out totally. Again, need to have a set work out in the morning for 9. I have slim-fast in my cupboard and most of the time I eat it for two meals, but some days I'm naughty and don't drink it at all, so I need to work on that. I really hope this group helps me! o(^w^*)o0
