    Oooh super, not been involved in a challenge recently. Thanks Elimay :happy:

    Goals:
    1. stay close to 1200 cals per day, trying not to eat back many exercise cals
    2. 30 minutes cardio exercise per day, 5 days per week
    3. 300 abdominal crunches 3 days per week

    Habit:
    try to limit myself to 1 cup of coffee per day, rest of my drinks to be water or fruit tea (this will be hard - I'm a coffee addict!)

    Will try to check in everyday, but I apologise now if I miss some days.

    Will prob have my free day on either Mon or Weds, but will still try to eat well on that day and may well end up doing crunches on that day.

    Hi I am very much in for this coming month. I had great results for the first half of October but with getting sick & OH having surgery it's been much harder. I look forward to us continuing this journey together.

    First weeks goals:
    90 min cardio to get back on track
    20 strength
    Keep my numbers in the green

    I also need to get back into the habit of drinking at least 9 glasses of water.

    My free day is Sunday

    Lets make this a no excuse november!!! Life will throw us monkey wrenches but we have NO EXCUSE to give up in November!!!

    3) watch portion sizes
    Healthy habit: make sure to get at least one non-starchy vegetable with dinner each night

    Amsw welcome !!!!!!! those are nice goals :wink: Potatoe chips are hard for me too, Have you tried snack sized like pringles or others that are smaller portions, also pop chips are a healthier version. Just an idea sometimes that will work for me :happy:
  • amsw1275

    Thanks. My little one with food allergies eats potato chips daily, which makes it a challenge not to grab a handful or two or three! That is why I need to try to cut them out, or at least buy baked or make my own in the oven. However, as for the full-fat store bought, that needs to be cut out of my diet.

    My goals;
    1. Stay under calorie count every day.
    2. Swim or run 45 minutes a day.
    3. Check in and record EVERYTHING I eat and drink daily.

    Good Habit;
    Brush teeth, mouthwash, and floss three times daily.

    I think I might skip the one free day. It might tempt me to take off more than I should ;>

    This should be fun and interesting

    1-Count EVERYTHING even on bad days
    2-Drink alooooot of water ( I don't like to measure it cause I try to chug it and make myself feel yucky)
    3-Get on the treadmill 3 times a week

    My good habit is-Taking my daughter to the park at least twice a week

    No free day for me, I go overboard :)

    Ok...I'm new at MFP and found your challenge! Here goes:

    Goals:
    1. Stay true to my calorie goal and don't go over.
    2. Log-in and count everything EVERY day.
    3. Work out 5 days a week.

    Habit:
    Floss every day.

    I choose not to have a free day because once I allow myself to eat something unhealthy I can't seem to stop.

    Thanks for the challenge, accountability and help with motivation!
