Hi everyone---I have a countdown on my phone; I leave for Europe in just over 7 weeks. So I've decided to put myself on a 50 day challenge---starting TODAY! Eat as clean as possible, dramatically limit junk food, and make time to do some form of exercise everyday (walking, jogging, biking, home videos, etc.)

My goal is to lose approximately 2 pounds a week--so 15 pounds total would be amazing!

Does anyone else want to join me? We can comment/post/update this thread periodically to keep track of why we are partaking on this challenge. 50 days seems like a reasonable, short term goal to aspire to!

What is your plan/strategy for these 50 days? Start a countdown on your phone too!

Have a great week :)

    I'm in! Recently, have fallen off the wagon...giving in to temptation left and right! I would love to shed 8-10 pounds by August 1. It's a real struggle for me to not binge Friday through Sunday. Going to work this week to focus on higher protein, higher fiber, lower carbs. Heading on a long weekend getaway over the coming weekend and I am motivated to make solid eating decisions.

    I'm in and also started a thread for clean eaters!
    I like the idea of it being added as short term challenges so definitely add me!

    I have been clean eating for about 3 weeks and prior to that had been cutting down on junk food and sugar.

    I exercise 5-6x a week (incline walk 45 x2, weights and toning x 2-3 and spinning (group cycle) x 1)

    I just need to work on eating my calories as I just learned that I am not doing that well at the moment :ohwell:

    Hi all, I'd just love to join this, great idea. I've been really struggling lately and a 50 day challenge seems perfect - it's long enough to make a difference and short enough feel achievable. I know it's a longer journey than that, but a kick start would be fantastic.

    It's just an application on my phone! Mine is called T-Zero but any can help. So I know that I leave for England in 50 days, 24 mins, 12 seconds, etc. It's fun!

    GREAT everyone! I'm excited! So it's Day 49 today---officially. I didn't make a group for this thread, but I'll try to post every day or so, and everyone else as well!

    Right about how you did you the day--your favorite exercise, your motivations or what not. Let's hold each other accountable to remember why these 50 days are so important! WE HAVE THIS :)

    Great idea! My husband and I and my in laws are meeting up in Rome in about 12 weeks. I just joined this website yesterday, so this is a perfect time for a goal like this. Thanks for setting it up and I can't wait to hear what others are doing for fitness and exercise.

    I'm in! I'd like to be down eight pounds by July 4th.

    Yesterday I managed 11.41 Fitbit miles -- 23,367 steps, 7.59 miles outside on the bike and 90 minutes on challenges. My numbers are not this high during the week. Today is just beginning!!

    Hope everyone has fun today!

    Count me in also, I need as much support and motivation as possible. I have an extremely bad knee that limits me to a lot--but my goal is to concentrate on my food this week. Next week, start excerising.
