welcome! I LOVE your froggy! Where'd you get it?

Hi...which froggie? The one in my name I found some where, the one on the lilly pad, I coppied from a much larger frog...I wanted him small because he was just so darn cute, so I made him.

Okay here is my plan:
1) Eat atleast 26 and no more than 30pts a day
Eat atleast 5 servings of veggies and 3 of fruit each day
Only refined sugar comes from my 1/2 skinny cow a day
2) Three liters of water minimum each day
3) At the very least; 60 minutes of tae bo; 60 minutes of my
elliptical machine every day(db paid too much for it to waste it);
also abs and gluts tape atleast 2x a week
Good luck to everyone on there challange; be safe and make sure to drink that water!!!!

Deb

Food: Minimal sugar, no white flour, veggies, and fruit. Eat 3 balanced meals a day.

Water: one gallon a day

Exercise: as much as I can do cardio everyday. Weight training/strength training everyday....roughly 45 minutes

My Plan:

Food: Very little bad carbs. only 1 slice of bread (whole grain only) allowed per day.
Water: 96 oz water
Exercise: 3 days of the 3 mile Cardio workout. 2 days of the 2 mile followed by the ab roller. 2 days of the 1 mile followed by the ab roller.

I'm gonna modify the points a bit for me. This gives me incentive, but still rewards me for partial victories. ("All or nothing" tends to scare me and make me say "Nothing, then. It's too hard to do it all." I need small steps.)

GOAL: 1500-2200 calories a day.

2 points for intaking 1800 calories or fewer.
1 point for intaking 1800-2000 calories.
One "free day" (usually Sunday) where calories don't count, and I get 2 points anyway.

GOAL: MOVE my butt at least five days a week

1 point for doing 15 minutes or more of accumulated activity (walking/gardening/cleaning/stairs/biking) or doing a "formal" workout of whatever length (cardio, lifting, Pilates, yoga)
Two "rest" days (usually weekends) where I don't worry about it, and get the point anyway.

GOAL: DRINK more fluids

1 point for drinking at least four glasses of non-sugared drinks (water, tea, juice, milk)

Updated to change the requirements -- fewer calories, and free days from exercise.

My September plan -

Food: Eat my WW 22 target points daily. Do not eat any activity points and eat only up to 15 of my 35 flex points per week.

Water: at least 6 glasses of water (8 oz)

Exercise: 1-1/2hr hike on Saturday, 1-1/2 hr tennis on Sunday and 45 min to 1 hour walk on Tuesday and Thursday.

My goal is to lose 5lbs. during the month of September, which may be difficult because my weight loss has slowed considerably as time goes by.

Good luck to all

Here is my plan for September:

Food: South Beach Diet

Water: Starting with 48oz per day

Exercise: 20 min per day (this will increase as time goes on)

Somewhere around 293 (need scale battery)
Short term goal: 275

I'm not following a given plan such as WW. Just making better choices but here is how I am working it:

Water: 64 oz min working on 72 oz.

Exercise: I use my walking program. Goal has been and is for October to walk 30 minutes each day preferrably at Rec Plex with hubby first think in morning; when he is working in morning than have to walk to Tape

Started my new plan Sept 14/03; for every pound lost I am adding a smile. As of today Sept 29/03 the smilies are as follows:
