October 2012 Challenge to Stay "On Plan" - Daily Check In
Our main goal on this thread is to stay ON PLAN (or OP for short) with whatever weight loss plan you're following. Everyone is welcome to join in.
October 2012 Challenge:
1. Stay ON PLAN this month. Challenge yourself to be OP with your eating for the month. Be sure to come here to the board if you feel like you are going to go off-course and need some support!
2. Set a weight loss goal only if you feel comfortable doing so.
3. Set a goal of how many days you’d like to do some form of exercise every week.
4. Set a goal of how many days you’re going to VISIT THE THREAD and check in with us. The accountability is important and a great way to stay on track.
Anything else you’d like to track here for the month, please do so! Feel free to track your daily eating, daily exercising...anything you'd like! We are here for each other because we're all here for a common goal: to be healthy, fit and happy!! For those who are struggling right now, why not re-commit and let today be your turnaround. WE CAN DO IT so let's all have a great month!!!
1. Track my calories every day on Lose It and stay within my range
2. Workout at least 5 days a week
3. Post here daily
4. Lose 5 pounds this month
5. Not to gain any weight while I'm on the cruise
1. Weigh myself no more than once per week. 2. Workout 6 days per week 3. Start doing more abs workouts or take a core training class next session. 4. Continue monitoring my calories. 5. Enjoy a cheat dinner on Friday or Saturday evenings. 6. Continue drinking 64oz - 128oz of water everyday. 7. Research on how to add more healthy meals and snacks. 8. DON'T be tempted by the Halloween candy and treats. DON'T! 9. Start taking photos of my progress.
check in often
continue to be consistant with exercise
Be more consisitant with eating but add occasional treat
Plan more! as much as I hate being a 'planner' it works!
Tonight we are having homemade bacon cheese burgers and frozen tots with chili/ketchup dipping sauce. Its been a bad week, hubby's not feeling well and we needed a treat!
penguin. it's funny that you mention tots - I was just talking to a friend about tater tots and am planning to buy some for a treat soon. I loved them when I was a kid!
My goals for the month are:
1. To finally redesign my strength training routine. I've started doing some of the New Rules exercises and just need to get organized about it.
2. To track calories 5 days a week.
3. To exercise every day.
4. To lose 2.5 pounds, which would get me to 130. OMG!!
Hello! Jumping in! I try NOT to set weight loss goals (well, this time around) because I can't control them. I CAN control what I do...just keep swimming.....so, my goals are...
1. Continue working out 1 hour a day 7 days a week (7 weeks already)
2. Continue with whole foods weight watchers
3. Not be discouraged if the scale takes time to catch up to my efforts.
4. Lose 5 lbs (hoping more, but again...I can't control that too much)
kmac- I am going to do the same, not focus on the scale, weigh one time a week and just see if I am maintaining or atleast slowly losing, and that's fine. As long as I am eating on plan and exercising, those are the things we are in total control of!! Good thinking.
I'm ready to move on from September which was a difficult month for me and get kickin with October!
1.) Weigh one time a week
2.) Drink 10-13 glasses of water a day
3.) Work out 6 days a week (cardio + 2-3x strength training)
4.) Log everything I eat on MyPlate and stay under calories for day
5.) Give myself credit and be my own best cheerleader! I've been WAY too critical of myself, this is my whole life being healthy, not a race, and not about getting a 6pack or comparing myself with people at the gym. it's about being healthy and happy, not looks!!
6.) Not obsess
1. Stay within my calorie limit, track everything I eat in app.
2. Weighings every Sunday when I mark down my current weight.
3. Not get discouraged by scale, periods, anything.
4. Lose 2 pounds this month.
5. Check in here as much as I can.
1. Run 4 times per week
2. Do more ab exercises
3. Drink 1.5L water each day
4. Lose 3.2kg (7 lbs)
5. Track all my calories on My Fitness Pal
6. Continue with my food diary
7. Check in here every day
8. STAY ON PLAN!!
I will start my journal today .
1500 calories
64 oz water
exercise 4-5x weekly
I have set my goal for 15 lbs this month. I want to be as close to take as I can possibly get. I will check in here daily for motivation . Good Luck to me and you all !
Good morning everyone - Happy Monday. It's a rainy one here is ATL.
to all you new OP buddies I hope you all have a great month and I look forward to hearing about all your successes.
Steph & Penguin - I'm a tater tot lover too I have a Weight Watchers recipe for a tater tot casserole that is so delish. I may have to make it sometime soon.
AilsaPearl - I hope Oct is a great month for you. Just take it one day at a time.
I'm planning on a good day. I've got all the food planned out and I'll get in a workout this evening. Two more days before I start my mini vacation
I had a pretty good day today. 20 minutes on the stepper this morning, 25 minutes on my recumbent bike tonight (first time since I took that bad fall, felt ok), and then 25 minutes of weight lifting. My eating was okay, though I continue to eat most of my calories by lunch. It's working alright but I miss having dinner sometimes!
Well, yesterday was my weigh in day and I was down 4 1/2 lbs! That makes me so excited! 24.6 total (can we say 25?) and made 10%! A big day for me!!!! 7 weeks oP (ww) with 1 hour exercise everyday is doing the trick! Just keep swimming!!!!
