In the grand scheme of things how long is 14 days? Do you remember 14 days ago? If you think about it 14 days is a very short amount of time, sometimes it passes us by without us even realizing it. So I propose a challenge, it is only 14 days and its very easy. Anyone can do it-- so join if you want! We can use this same thread.
We will weigh in 3 times. Starting Weight: today, Mid way: December 11 The end: Dec 18.
The challenge: For the next 14 Days you will do 3 things:
1. 30 minutes of cardio
2. Stay under your calories
3. Drink 8 cups of water
*****If you want to join, please stay with it- I'll keep us updated and let everyone know who the biggest loser is midway! Please post here if you want to join, your name, your starting weight (today) and how much you hope to lose by the end of this 14 days and a little bit about yourself******

My name is Tarran, I'm 26 years old and the mother of one beautiful little girl && I have a pretty awesome boyfriend too! Today I weighed in and I've had some REALLY off days for the past 2 weeks so I'm bloated with water bc of sodium and so my goal for this challenge is to lose the water weight and a couple pounds. I'm setting a high goal for myself of 10 lbs because I need to stay dedicated. Feel free to set a normal goal for yourself (2-6 lbs).

    My goal for the 14 days is at least 5 pounds.

    Awesome Jenny! What is your starting weight? I am making a chart, if you don't want to post it- that is okay.
    My daughter is 18 months old too- almost to the day.

    Sounds like fun. I'm going to try to ramp it up early on this week. I'm celebrating Christmas with my family on the 17th and will definitely be over my calorie count!
    I've packed on 20 pounds in the last 6-8 months and am ready to get rid of it. My goal will be 7 pounds in the two weeks.
    Starting weight 140.6

    I have read a lot of challenges on MFP, and being a lazy person, I didn't want to do a long commitment. This seems like a short challenge I could get into. Thanks for the idea! :smile: I would love to join, since I seem to have plateau lately and would love the competition aspect of it.

    SW (today): 135lbs
    14 days later, would like to be 130lbs (setting the bar too high perhaps?? I normally only lose 1 lb every 2 weeks, if I am lucky)
    1. Check on 30 minutes cardio (elliptical)
    2. I seem to be doing okay with calories today (I hope, although I am not a big breakfast eater, so the majority of my calorie gain is the latter part of the day)
    3. This is the tough one. Currently negative 2 cups of water (since I am on my 2nd cup of coffee for the day. :tongue: )

    Confession: I have been slacking off a lot lately, and I know it sounds like an excuse, I am under a bit of pressure with some work, (hence, the exorbitant amount of coffee on some days), and I don't think I drink enough water.
