    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.

    great...I think that if you truly put in your diary everything that goes into your mouth you truly see what is going on, great challenge. and water is huge...drink drink drink. ..walking super..great time of year to let that cool brisk air hit your face..and sign on to mfp much as possible only we can hold our self accountable for our actions...and this is the best support I have ever had as far as health and fitness go...i feel love in my heart for each of you even though we have not met personally..i feel as though we are connected. 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 :)

    Me to girls I'm gonna do low carb.. I have over indulged in carbs the past 2 days so it'll do me good to have 2 days of low carbs...
