    ok guys well done on any losses this week... if you gained id ask you now NOT to let it get you discouraged... work hard for the week ahead and you will see results..

    this weeks main challenge is

    again drink ALL 8 glasses of water DAILY!!!!!! (this WILL help)

    log ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you eat and complete your diary DAILY!!!

    Cut down on 1 thing that you feel is hindering your weightloss e.g chocolate.. bread.. sweets and replace them with fruit
    make sure 1/3 of your dinner plate is made up of veg or salad

    walk 7 miles this week (if you walk everyday anyway just walk for an extra 10/15 mins and this should make up the 7 miles)

    come on here as much as possible because the support is great and will help a lot if your feeling down or feel like giving up...
    also look out for the mini challenges they will be set daily

    have a great week and everytime you feel like that bar of choc or sweets remember how GOOD it feels to lose and BAD you feel after that bar of choc... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I can do that challenge... I think nuts are more my downfall, even though they are good for you, too many means cal gain. Good luck everyone. Lost one pound this week and I am happy with that.

So here is to a healthy and supportive week.

    Great challenges! I am not going to do a carb free day though...I found it was just a quick fix last time around that didn't stick (that is just me) but I will be mindful of my carbs...does that work?

    Thanks again for this challenge :)

    Good challenge. Looking into why we are doing this might make us more accountable. Good thinking. Something I had to do when I was in WW many years ago was to make a story line showing where I would (want) to be at certain dates. for ex in 4 weeks -5 lbs, birthday (5 Lbs less) and so on. I found that helpful. Maybe if another longer challenge is set after valentines, we could each do something like that.

    Here are my personal challenges

    1) Eat a total 5 fruit & vegetables a day
    2) Exercise 30 minutes a day
    3) Water, water, water
    4) Log all my food
    5) Do the daily mini Challenges

    Let's see how this goes for a week. I have really been lacking in the fruit & veg department. As for 2, 3, & 4 those I can usually get done but for some reason I forget about the daily challenges. I will work harder on trying to get the challenges in starting today.
