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.0

I am also in, I was doing so well and have been stuck for the past couple weeks falling for excuses left and right0

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:0 -
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.0

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!0 -
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 0 -
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.0
-
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!

I am doing a 35 day challenge before I go to this music festival, count me in!0

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.0

I'm going to focus on low-carbing it this week, leading up to a long weekend at the beach. I have not been eating a lot of meat, getting most of my protein from beans and cheese. I've been feeling kind of bloated, however. I think I'm going to switch it up this week and get more animal protein through eating chicken, sardines, a bit of beef, and eggs. In terms of exercise, I'm starting a T25/Les Mills Pump hybrid schedule. I love T25 and it will be my first time doing Les Mills Pump. I really need to focus on what I am eating. I think I will just take it one week at a time, no rewards in the form of food until I feel unbloated and a bit lighter. Ugh.0

Sunday was carb-tastic...so like @eskimite, I will be taking it easy this week. I'll probably incorporate more lentils, eggs, fish and plantain into this week's diet. Will meal prepping tomorrow night to take me through to Saturday as its a national holiday in the UK on Monday = party weekend! I have a party to attend Saturday and Sunday so will be hard but will stay off the alcohol (bar 1 glass of vodka and soda water) and have low sugar options. Will definitely have bumper workouts on those days

I'd love to join! Going on Holiday in 5 weeks, so only have about 35 days but i'd really like to join you all! Would love to lose 5kgs in those 5 weeks 0
-
I'm in :-)
I'm aiming to lose 2lbs a week until I go on holiday in August so this will fit in perfectly for me. I'm already cutting down on carbs like bread, pasta and anything with added sugar is a no no. Good luck guys; looking forward to it

I'm in too please! I need to lose 30 pounds but if I could lose 15 pounds it would motivate me. I have been stuck at this weight for too long. It would also bring my BMi back into overweight...my weakness is wine. So I going to limit it to 3 days a week and I have to have burned the calories through exercise..
How do I follow this group?0 -
I'm in. Just recently started using My Fitness Pal again. Already lost 20#, need to loose 20 more.
Need the accountability.....0 -
Think this my first post
I would love to join also. Thank you perfect timing. 20 lbs needed to go ... am at the heaviest I have ever been and miserable. My reason for losing is health, and get my waist line down so I am not self conscious about it ....
Started yesterday with a juice/fruit day (blended it). a spoon of peanut butter for some protein and hummus. Thought I would be miserable, and oddly it was fine. Today, am in work so it tougher ... but have a large salad with me and hummus with some cheddar and a green juice green (did myself) with iron it.
Need some recipes 0 -
Me too I'm in!! Dream holiday due in November and I keep falling off the wagon by Tuesday or Wednesday every week!
Good Luck Everyone we can do this!!0 -

I'm in, today is 47 days until my sons 1st bday. Want to lose as much as I can by then so this is perfect for some accountability.0
