    Count me in.

    Current weight: 168
    Goal Weight for Christmas: 158

    I have a back injury that's keeping me out of the gym, so it's pretty much all up to dieting for me.

    Welcome everyone!! :flowerforyou:

    I don't really have any rules...just wanting a place for SUPPORT!! You can choose whatever day you want to weigh in on. I weigh daily (I know, bad me), but Friday is my official day. Since we are starting today, how bout we make Wednesday's our day to report? I am considering doing a chart and will plan to post it on Monday's.

    Challenge ideas...? you can participate or not. something simple or difficult??

    - daily water intake
    - exercise/activity
    - diet....fruits, veggies

    feel free to make any suggestions!! do we want to give our group and official name??

    It's my first group, but I love the idea of doing a water challenge and a fruits and veggies serving challenge. I have learned to play the calorie game very well, but I don't know if I think ENOUGH about how many servings I'm getting of fruits and veggies. It would be nice to make a game of it.

    Should have a challenge of 30 pushups ( from knees or toes ) a day... is a free, muscle sculpting excercise that really works the chest, arms and upper back. Let's be honest, who of us would like to show up to a holiday meal.. with sleek tight arms????

    ok, so for our 1st challenge, I think we'll keep it simple. How bout increasing our water intake? this is no problem for some, but difficult for others. The recommended daily allowance could be a debate, but if you're on the low side, try to increase it, and if you're just wanting to improve, here's your chance! We all know there are a many benefits to drinking water...so fill up your cups, glasses, bottles and canteens...and go back for more!

    This starts tomorrow, Thursday 10/20 and ends next Wednesday 10/26. Good luck everyone!:drinker:

    re the push-ups...good idea! that is one of the areas I dislike the MOST. I think with all the yo-yo dieting I did for 15+ yrs, and never any resistance training really damaged my triceps. Not sure I can do much there, but I am willing to try! I have a question tho...is it ok to do push-ups every day? does there need to be a day or 2 off between working the triceps? I don't want to be doing them every day and it not being beneficial. I always hear about taking a day off so muscles can repair and rebuild...don't know if push-ups fall into this "theory"? anyone?

    How did everyone's day go? Mine was ok. I think I am under calories a little, but a big improvement from yesterday. I managed to get outside and do 2 separate walks. It has been f.o.r.e.v.e.r!!

    See you tomorrow!!
