Ok folks, who's up for a different kind of challenge? This one is open to all!
Starting tomorrow, I will post a challenge to be completed everyday. Each day you
do it, you award yourself 1 pt (for a total of 7 points for the week). The following week
there will be a new challenge and opportunity to award yourself points, but continue
doing the same challenge(s) from the previous week(s) and gain additional points!
The challenges build on each other every week.
In addition, you get 3pts if you have a weight loss of 1.5lbs per week.
Each participant is responsible for tracking their own points. (Be honest as you will only cheat yourself.)
Winner gets bragging rights !
To make things easy to find/edit as we go along, please
Copy and paste the information below on seperate thread titled "6 Week NCC Tracking"
All other challenge comments/questions please post in this thread.

WEEK 1 CHALLENGE:
We all know that fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals and
generally low in calories too!
This week, the challenge is to eat AT LEAST 2-3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.
Award yourself 1 point everyday that you do this, for a possible total of 7 points !0 -

And we're off!
Had some spinach leaves on my egg sandwhich at breakfast!
(HMm, seems there is a time window in which a post can be edited?! that stinks-
will make tracking not as easy as I had hoped.) Guess copy and pasting the
information, and then deleting the old info will be the way to go0 -
I had blueberries, apple and banana with oatmeal at breakfast and my work snacks are a plum & satsuma with some cashews.
Then avocado (my favourite!), tomato, rocket and flageolet beans at lunch.
Later on I'll have gazpacho - lots of tomato, pepper, onion and garlic. Recipe here: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1396636/gazpacho
Yum!0 -

Howdee! Sorry for the late post, but lost power and internet last night and posting
this from work this morning!
I hope eveyrone had a successful week 1! If you ate your 2-3 servings of veggies each day, you
should have awarded yourself 1 pt for each day, for a potnetial 7 pts! Dont forget to give yourself
an extra 3 pts if you had a weight loss of 1.5lb or more too!
This weeks challenge: caloric intake and portion control!
We are all here on MFP and one of the most useful tools is the food tracker!
Watch not only what you eat, but how much of it. Be sure to accurately measure your
portions or you will only cheat yourself!
Stay within your caloric limit each day this week, and award youself 1pt for each do you do!
IN ADDITION, continue to eat your fruits and veggies and earn another point. So each day,
you can earn 2pts!
Good luck!0 -
As for me, I had a successful week 1!
Ate all my fruits n veggies (usually not hard for me anyway) and had a 2lbs loss.!
Hope everyone did well!0 -

Quick question, are we talking net calorie limit, or total calorie limit?? 0
-
not sure what you mean . .
I'm referring to not going OVER your recommended calorie intake0 -
fun0
-
So far so good!
Not going over my caloric limit, most days comin in just under.
AND still gettin my veggies and fruits. I actually had one day where
I got 3+ servings of veggies but no fruit!- oops0 -
Week 3 is here!
Hope everyone is racking up the points with the veggies/ftuits and staying within calorie goal for weeks 1 and 2.
This week, we all need to move a little! Exercise has always been good for a healthy body, but don't oerdue it!
Your body needs rest too!
Award yourself a point for each day you exercise, but make sure you take time off for rest . Therefore there is a
maximum of 5 points this week (exercise 5 days, 2 days of rest).
Get moving and earn a potential 5 points for week 3!0 -
Not doing too bad, had a loss but only 1lb but happy all the same!
Got my exercise in the past 2 days- a 5K run on treadmill yest and
a TRX class today.
Will focus this weekend- have a party to attend Sunday and don't want to
end up "grazing", even if its on healthier foods.
have a great weekend!0 -
GAh - more computer issues, preventing me from posting sooner!
Hope everyone got moving this past week~~!
Week 4 is already here! This week's challenge? To start your day off right: Eat your breakfast,
its the most important meal of the day! Every day this week you do so, earns you a pt for a
potential 7 pts for the week. Don't foget, keep doing the previous weeks challenges to rack up
more points!0 -
Week 5 challenge starts tomorrow!
Carbs are important for a healthy lifestyle, but make sure you are gettin the right ones!
This week, be sure to include at least 1 serving of complet carbs and limit your simple carbs
(most white foods). Reach for whole grains and whole wheat varieties to help curb your
appetite and add nutrients! 1 pt for each day you do this, for a potential 7pts for the week!0 -
Final week challenge: DRINK UP!
Hydration is super important when working out and eating right, so be sure
to drink enough. 8 glasses of water are recommended for most!
Drink 8 glasses of fluids, at least half fo them water, each day and award 1 point for each day you do so!
Good Luck!0
