Hello everyone!

I was thinking about starting a group here where we have a different challenge every week. Sometimes a fitness challenge, sometimes a food challenge. You can choose to weigh in here as well each week, but it is mostly just about how we do with the challenge at hand.

Anyone else interested in joining me? :smile:

    I'll give it a go. I could use some friends to help me stay accountable. Challenges are always fun too. How do we determine the challenge each week? Take turns creating them?:happy:

    Yes, I was thinking we could all take turns or throw out suggestions each week. The big thing is that we ALL know what the challenge is for the week. I have noticed in some boards it can get confusing. Does anyone have a preference of whether it be a fitness challenge or food challenge this week?

    I know that we are already part way in to Monday, but i was thinking Monday will probably be new challenge day, where it seems like the freshest day of the week.

    I was thinking that since this is the first week, we just do something basic. Drink all of your water everyday! I know that it sounds super simple, but it's not always easy to make sure you get it all!

    This sound good with everyone?

    Yes, I was thinking the same thing! I just came up with challengers off the top of my head, but if anyone has any ideas for a group name, please let me know! Every week we will start a new thread and it would be great to be easy to find...

    I'll try. But maybe that because water for me is not so hard. Everytime I think I want something to eat, the first thing I do is drink a pint of ice cold water with a squeeze of lemon. I guess I find myself wanting to eat somewhat often. That's why it's not a problem with water. Iit's strange. Most of my life, I hated drinking water. But now, it's not so bad. It's my friend who keeps me from over eating.

    So, I am almost done work, and I have half my water in :smile: I am so happy! I do always drink water at work, but barely ever this much! So, I am really determined to stay on top of this challenge!

    Good luck to everyone! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Count me in as well. So far today I have had 8 glasses and that is just at work. I normally have about 4 more in evening with dinner and my workout. Water seems easier for me than I ever thought. I really love the water-on-the-go packets from Crystal light and Welchs, they have some great flavors.
    How about "The Movers & The Shakers"? Just a suggestion for a name. :bigsmile:

    Sounds like you are great with your water! I love the crystal light on the go packs as well!

    I really like the name, "The Movers & The Shakers" :smile: Anyone else have any ideas or does this name sound great to you as well?

    The easiest way to find it is under "community" there is a link "my topics". Then click on the Challengers link. Once we decide on a group name it will change, as there will also be new threads every week. But, once a new thread is started, i will always post the name of it in the previous thread.

    It's no fun losing people along the way!

    i'd like to join in with this also.
    is it weekly challenges starting on mondays then?
    water is a good challenge because it is so important that we do drink enough especially during the summer and exercising.

    Good morning everyone!

    Yes, challenges will start on Monday.

    I hope everyone did well with their water yesterday! I managed to drink 8 plus cups :smile: But I think I may have drank too much before bed as I had to get up 4 times thru the night to run to the washroom. LOL I will remember not to do this tonight!

    Hope everyone is having a great day! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
