I'm really excited about this challenge but it's already day 6...and I haven't even reached 1000 calories yet. I have a124lbs to lose and I start so many diets and never seem to stick with them. Help!!! Anyone has any tips for me?

    I'm starting late too. We'll just start today...how about that? Week 2 we'll be on it for sure.

    Don't worry so much about fad diets and all that stuff. Just take it day by day. Try to eat healthier and do some kind of exercise every day. Even if its just walking. Every little bit counts. If you need help, let me know.

    I'm having to relose my weight and then some. I lost 50 pounds a couple years ago. Then it all went down hill because of stress and then I started this night shift desk job. Double whammy. I've gained almost 80 pounds. We can do this...no worries.

    All it takes is stepping outside the box.. You don't have to be a part of a gym. You can do jumping jacks, squats, push-ups (I do modified). Or just go for a walk, a bike ride.
    Don't worry you are not alone, this is a tough challenge, I normally can do about 2500 calories a week, and this is a big push for me. You can do it,just change it up so you don't get bored.
    I workout almost daily and I am on here daily. If you need support send me a friend request and I will do my best to help :smile:
