Milestone 1 - Day 10: Thursday, 10/02/14
It is time for the first weighin. If the scale moves or not or even if it moves in the opposite direction, always believe in yourself. Because if you don't, no one else will. I am confident that you will keep challenging yourself beyond the first milestone (10% of Challenge time). ???? Now take that brave big step and log…

Day 9: Wednesday, 10/01/14
I am confident that during the preceding eight days we have challenged ourselves, our temptations and our comfort zone. If the scale moves it's just a cherry on top of the challenger spirit that we all have acquired by being part of this challenge. Stating my goals and follow ups here have been very helpful. On Day 8, I…

Spreadsheet Important
"What can not be measured, can not be controlled". (~author unknown) Though being part of spreadsheet is completely optional but all members are encouraged to do so and keep all weigh in and goals updated. I will be converting incomplete entries in light grey font probably by 10/06/14. Please update at your earliest.

-
Day 5: Saturday, 9/27/14
We are now halfway from our first milestone. Two things are worth mentioning here. First, it's not too late to join the group and start logging in spreadsheet. Second, stating daily goals in the daily thread helps sticking to the goals. In the interest of global time zones I intend to start daily thread around 6 pm (6…

-
Day 1: Tuesday, 9/23/14
Yes, it has already started in some parts of the world. Though I am in LA (Pacific Standard Time) I think it will help if the daily thread is started around this time. It will give everyone plenty of time to jump in. In addition, the goal setting and fitness vows could be comfortably made. I am happy to report that we have…
