Hi everyone! I'd like to start an easy challenge. Cheat days can be hard to recover from. I recently went 45 days without many cheat days, but then I went on vacation. It was a cheatcation! One week and a tad more of all I could eat amazingness.

So I'm back this is my 3rd day of diet restart. Most of the binge weight is falling off, so I'm very happy about that.

I'd like to start the 50 day no cheat challenge! The rules are simple.
1. 50 days of sticking to the calorie goal you have set
2. If you do have a cheat day, don't let it go! Add an extra day to your end date to make up for it!
3. Workout 3 times a week HARD. Get into the moderate activity bracket for Metabolic rate calculation!
4. Don't give up!
5. Weigh in every ten days. (If you have a scale)

So if you'd like to join, tell us what your goal is at the end of the challenge. Also include your strengths and weaknesses.

    Hi,

    I am proud to say that I lost 44 pounds and have been maintaining fairly well (still losing fairly slowly, but closer to finding my balance), all since last May, and I have not cheated on single time. Am I the winner? :bigsmile:

    Seriously, I don't cheat because my health journey is not a game and I don't restrict food type and I work treats into my calories each day. It's all about moderation.

    Besides this, cheating is all in the perception. :smile:

    I know I'm a party pooper. the best of luck to you all.

    Thank you for the input SLL. Cheating is in perception. Sometimes, it's hard to eat in moderation,

    I'm not sure how to make a group. I will look into it :)

    My goal is to get under 200lbs. and to start exercising again.
    Strengths: Shopping I buy healthy foods and don't beat myself up when I want ice-cream.
    Weaknesses: Portion control

    Hi, this challenge is just what I need right now :-)
    I'd love to join you all.

    I've been getting a bit lazy and need a push to try harder (though I'm not sure it will be easy Shannon!)

    I'm stuck at 154 lbs right now,and my goal for this challenge is to lose 7 lbs.

    I can't exercise hard, but promise to do 5 walks each week.

    Strengths - an absolutely unshakable belief that I WILL get to target this time, and that my size 12 (UK) jeans will fit me.

    Weaknesses - pizza and chips! and no chocolate for months, then 3 bars in a weekend. Also still seeing pizza as a treat food at the weekend. (though sometimes I manage to fit it into my calories).

    End date is 29th August.
