100% Challenge – Losing on a Jet Plane!
This is a 6 week challenge.
It runs from August 3rd through September 13th
The rules are very simple:
Use NS FOODS (or equivalent of your own foods following the NS guidelines)
100% water means at least 64 ounces
100% food & water every day.
*** 100% food means your NS foods for the day and all the add-ins on the NS Plan or
Staying on plan using NS Foods and/ or equivalent of Your foods or all Your foods that meet the plan requirements***
* For each day post your 100% in red bold along with the date so it's easier to update the spreadsheet.
(Example: 100% 8/20 or NOT 100% 8/20 )
* Exercise 3x/week but we won't track exercise; that is up to you.
* Post as often as you can! DAILY is BEST!
* Have fun, ask questions, answer questions, help where you can, give support...get support!
* Weigh-in day is SUNDAY (if you need a different day, just let us know)
Post your weigh-in, how much you lost or gained or if you maintained.
(example: WEIGH-IN: 180.2 or Lost 1.5 pounds)
* Set a goal of what you want to lose over the next 6 weeks.
(many of us make a ticker to track our progress)
JOIN US ANYTIME!
ALL ARE WELCOME!!
NO CUT-OFF TIME FOR JOINING
********************************
Welcome aboard Flight 100% bound non-stop to our destination of Challenge Goal!
Our estimated date of arrival is September 13th.
For the duration of our flight make sure no one and nothing
(i.e. rogue jars of Peanut Butter)
try and sabotage this flight and your success.
We’re expecting smooth sailing,
but should we experience any turbulence
(again, rogue PB jars or nay-sayers of NS),
please remain 100% in your seats with your seatbelts tightly fastened.
Instead of Frequent Flier Miles,
we’re offering better health,
more self-confidence,
and less baggage!!
Portion Distortion
The natural inclination when we're enjoying something edible is to just keep eating it.
Many times, even far past the point of being full, we just keep eating. Why? Well, it tastes good, right? And because it tastes good, we just keep going. And we just keep going until it’s gone.
That’s the problem with over-sized portions—we eat them till they’re gone!
Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to eat out somewhere and be served a reasonable amount of food. It’s nice to get your money’s worth, when did super-sizing everything become the norm?
Wouldn’t a little less food for a little less money be a better way to go?
And let’s admit it—we also do it at home. Super-sized bags of chips, enormous boxes of cereal, huge gallons of ice cream…we’re only setting ourselves up for temptation…and often, failure.
The bottom line is this: You have to learn where to cut it off.
Portion control is one of THE best ways to control your weight for the long haul.
Remember, the primary goal of eating should be to nourish your body. It’s okay to enjoy what you’re eating, but that doesn’t mean you should go overboard, or eat everything that’s in front of you.
Work on that this week. Watch your portions and STOP when you’re full.
And if you’re someone who’s thinking to yourself, “I really have no self-control when it comes to portions. I just love food too much. It’s not even worth trying to make a change.”
Think again.
It IS worth it.
Because YOU are.

I'm in! I'll post stats Monday.
Roger, when did the ability to change font size go away? I haven't posted in a few weeks. I love how we can insert bullets and strikethrough, which nobody uses, yet can't change size.

Hi Cindy
I am not sure, It could be something they did by mistake too. many of the features are able to be turned on and off easily by the Site Administrator.

Hi All
I did my walk this morning, 2.8 Miles. Humidity is low, and the temperature was in the 50s, I felt a little chilly until I warmed up from the walking or maybe it was the 1/2 banana I ate on the way out of the house.
Walking past the stream below our one parks dam I saw the Blue Heron in the stream. I have noticed it now for each of the three days I walked that way recently. Then we seem to be getting deer into the area too. I saw Four next to that brook one evening walk, Three grazing in a different park and four along another brook the other day. They sure are destructive to plantings and gardens too. Oh well.............
Have a Good Day
