    Hi, are you suggesting we have mini challenges (i.e. weekly/bi-weekly goals)?

    Hi everyone!

    Just wondering how you are all doing on the first week?. I'm trying to drink a lot more water and exercise every day...which is easy now as the weather over here is so nice (very unusual!). Hope you're all getting on great!

    I'm open to weekly challenges, I'm not sure what they would be. But anything to get the weight off.

    Suggestions
    *highest calories burned in a week
    *consistent water intake of 8 glasses per day (I average 5 - 6)
    *No junk food
    *No alcohol
    *workout 6 times in a week
    *can you walk/run 10 miles in a week

    What do you guys think?

    I think that sounds great!. My little boy is back in playschool after his mid-term on Tuesday so I can walk the miles each morning. Good luck everyone!

    I am really dreading weigh in tomorrow morning!! Needless to say I had a fun weekend at the fair yesterday (ate back all of my exercise calories). I must say, it could have been worst - like eating funnel cake. Oh well, I get another chance this coming week.
    I too need to work extra hard this coming week.

    Let's go, 10 Mile Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning everyone!

    Well I weighed in on Saturday as I knew I was working early yesterday & this morning (my weighing scales makes a loud BEEEP!!! and would wake up the whole house!). The good news is that I've lost a pound, bringing me down to 165 lbs. I've measured my waist and it's gone down to 35 inches and my hips are down to 40. I'm looking forward to starting the walking challenge tommorrow. Good luck to you all with your weigh-ins today!!!

    Glad to hear of you guys progress, keep up the good work.

    Well, this morning I am the same weight as last week. The good news is I didn't gain any weight. I was prepared for this because I changed my plan. The whole thing is by trial and error - you live and learn right.

    This week I am back to my original plan (the one that got be down by 6 pounds).

    Now let's get going on this 10 mile walking challenge!!!

    Please let the group know if you have any other weekly challenge ideas:wink:
