Remember: at the end of this week, I will also be announcing the individual who loses the most weight throughout the challenge (I think I will…

-
Red Team
If you love RED, join this team! "Red has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived.

-
Purple Team
If you love PURPLE, join this team! "Purple embodies the balance of red’s stimulation and blue’s calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined, at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone.

Week SEVEN
We're in the home stretch! Two weeks to go for this challenge! And now that we've got our habits of including seeking/providing support, > water, > fruits, > veggies, < sugar, and < alcohol practiced, it's time to focus on movement! Double points for exercise this week!
-
Week SIX
This week the focus is on my personal biggest challenge, no alcohol! I love a glass of wine with dinner and often one turns to 2... so here's to a healthy and dry week!
-
Week FIVE
Double points this week for forgoing sugary sweet treats! Go for the healthier alternatives and get those points!!
-
Week FOUR
Like momma always said, EAT YOUR VEGGIES! This week is double-points for vegetables, so be sure to eat every carrot and pea on your plate (just a little joke, say it out-loud)... Cheers to a great 4th week!
-
RECIPES!
Seeing some recipes posted in group threads, I figured it might be nice to have one place to share our favorite healthy recipes.
-
Week THREE
Now that we're in the habit of drinking ALL the water, this week's special double-point challenge is to eat 2 servings of fruit per day. Enjoy, and good luck to a healthy week 3!
-
Week TWO
Can you believe it? We ALL survived week one! The first step is always the hardest, now we can build on our new habits, and learn from the places where we struggled. Remember, double-points for water this week!! It has been so inspiring to read all of the comments and the encouragement for each other!! I will have winners…
-
Question for the group!!
I'm thinking about changing the due date for sending points to team leaders to Monday morning, because Sunday at 8PM might be too early to tell how many points to count for Sunday! Please let me know your thoughts and if you agree. The new schedule will be: Points to team leaders by Monday at 8am PST Points from team…

Q & A
This is the place to have your questions answered.
-
Week ONE
Is everyone else as excited to get this challenge started as I am? I'm so happy to see the teams forming, leaders being picked, and people getting to know each other. Which is a perfect time to have "contact with team member" as the first double-point challenge (not by coincidence). Okay, so here's the current Team Roster:…
-
Blue Team
If you love BLUE, join this team! "Blue is the overwhelming “favorite color.” Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed. Blue is the least “gender specific” color, having equal appeal to both men and women. The color of ocean and sky, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the…

Orange Team
If you love ORANGE, join this team! "Orange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger “love it” or “hate it” response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and…

October Challenges?
I'm wondering how people in this group are doing this month, what challenges they've had so far and/or expect for the rest of October? For me, I've stayed pretty good with the no sugary sweets this month, with only a couple of exceptions. Also, I did have alcoholic beverages more times last week than I set out to when I…
-
Challenges
I thought I'd post a thread where people can post their challenges for No Sugar September as they arise, and for support. For me, my challenge today is that I'm hosting an event tonight at my house. Usually I would buy snacks including something sweet, but am afraid (or should I say I know) that I will indulge if it's in…
-
Now what?
Ok, so I have my pair (we found each other, not through the form)... so now what do we do? Do we post challenges on here or just individually through PM? How many others have been paired up and are wondering the same thing? (Or, is it just me...)
