To get started on this Challenge I would like to start with the basics and work our way up.
1. Make sure to log your food and water
2. Log exercise
3. Weigh-in at least once a week. ( I weigh-in on Fridays)
4. Tell us a little something about what brought you here.
5. Share a favorite shake or food recipe.
Now if you think this sounds easy for a Challenge....this is just the beginning. Remember we are all in this together...please post challenges for each other.
Have a great Wed. Marne :flowerforyou:

Count me in. I will try to do my best.. :happy:
Log food I do mostly everyday, drink water @lease 8 glasses sounds good,exercise what 30 min a day??Weigh in I try to do it on Fridays myself.
What brought me here was the site sounded like it might be a good support site and it's all I thought it was. I have only been on it for about 2 months and have a few friends but I have alot of support .It fits it's name My Fitness Pal..
Now do we do this daily or weekly?? We already do it on the site so do we also put it on this challenge area??
Let's get this going..:flowerforyou:0 -
My food is logged for the day...hope not to have to make any changes.
Exercise is logged for the day and hope to add.
2 days until weigh-in
I'm here because MyFitnessPal was suggested by my Herbalife Center. I use the site alot. I do have a hard time making it to the center during the week and need the support 24/7.
Shake Recipe:
Elvis
8 oz water
1 scoop Vanilla PDM
2 scoops Formula 1: French Vanilla
1 teaspoon peanut butter
½ Banana
CHALLENGE:
What do you do for a workout?
Add 500 steps-If you do not have a pedometer walk on tread mill or 5-10 walk in place while watching the tv.
Dragonldy69, I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page as far as the basics.
I will add a complete list of challenges for next week on Friday June 1st for the week.
Have a great day :flowerforyou:0 -
1/2. Food, water, and exercise is logged daily.
3. I usually weigh in on Mondays but I am considering to change it to Fridays
4. MFP was recommended to me by my co-worker and I have recommended it to everyone!
5. I like to make my shakes with water and very very thick...almost like ice cream. My favorite flavor is cookies and cream and I'm beginning to drink a mixture of cookie and caffe latte in the AM. Its very much like a frappe minus the calories and sugar high!
I'm excited for this challenge and look forward to the upcoming posts!

I like mine thick too. I use soy milk at home (it helps with hot flashes). I use Formula 1 and Protein at the lake so I don't have to worry about storing milk. I add about 6-10 ice cubes and make mine in the blender. I do love to go to the Herbalife centers though to try the different recipes they have. Keep moving, Marne :flowerforyou:0

Did really well today on my foods. Got up extra early for a work-out before my granddaughter got here. Made jello for the next week and made up my food list for tomorrow night. I hope you are all planing ahead ....it really helps me.

Great job to those that logged food and exercise today. We are all going to have a great summer and be much smaller in the fall.

I have logged my food for the day, but forgot to do my water so will go back and do that after.
I am recovering from a bad cold so didnt do much exercise other than light walking, which I am doing my best not to count (want to count "real"exercise).
I will weigh in on Thursday.
It's winter here in South Africa so my recipe is for a warm shake:
CAFE MOCHA
200ml warmed up milk ( I use fat free but you could use
2 scoops Chocolate F1 Healthy Meal
a teaspoon instant coffee (or haf, depending on how strong you want it)
Blend with stick blender.
Pour into a large mug and top with boiling water.0 -
Thank you for the recipe. Marne0

Started my herbalife last Friday, I do feel better. Trying to decide if I should sign up to be a distributor or not for the extra discount. I need to start logging my food. Great to know there are others out there.

I'm so glad you are going to join us. This a great group. Marne0 -
Hi. I started Herbalife 1 week ago and have lost 1.2kg! Yay!!!! Finally. I'm doing herbalife as I know it worked for me in the past and at the moment, nothing else is getting the weight off.
I will not adjust my ticker as about a month ago I put on 1.4kg and didn't adjust for that... Hopefully this time next week I can adjust it for real! :-)
Marne, I will like to try your Elvis shake. What is the Vanilla (PDM - sorry, can't see your post anymore, and forgotten the name!) that you added? Does it matter if I don't add it?
Thanks.0 -
I log in everyday - food, water and exercise. I try and go to gym twice a week - can only go Tues and Thur mornings. Otherwise I try to go for fast walks in the park or else do my workout (walk away the pounds) dvd.
Don't have any favourite shakes yet - just copied all yours down to try. :-)
I weigh myself a couple times a week, but use the Thur-Fri weigh in for MFP.
Heidi - I'm originally from Cape Town, where in SA are you from?

YAY!
It's so great to have found this group! I just started today.
I have tried many shakes before but they were either not tasty or did not come with a support group. I decided to become a distributor for the 25% and LOVED the fact that the lady who introduced me to them is not pushy at all, which has been a major turn off in the past with other multi-level systems.
Feel free to add me as a buddy. I just started using MFP and plan on getting the most out of it.0 -
