The Point Challenge is a monthly challenge. We challenge just ourselves. Whatever your "plan or diet" is, you can succeed at the challenge.

The details: You can earn up to 4 points per day during the challenge.

Food: You can earn 2 points for following your food plan, whatever that may be.

Water: You can earn 1 point for chugging a certain amount of water set by you at the start of the challenge.

Exercise: You can earn 1 point a day for following your exercise routine. No matter if you plan on 10 minutes or exercise or 1 hour, when you meet your goal, you get a point. If you plan for an off day, however, you don't earn a point.

I "track" the points, and will announce the "winner" at the end of the challenge. Everyone wins though...the more points you earn, the better you are doing, the better you feel and in the end, the better you will look.

Even if you only earn 2 points a day...that's alot more than what you would if you were just "toying" around.

What is your monthly challange?

I've changed my plan as I go along this year. Doing what works for me! Last edit 5-31-06.

I know I haven't participated in awhile, but I do plan on it for March. It's taken me awhile to get the new eating restrictions in place, but it's do-able.

Food: Being "good" 90% of the time. Low sodium, low animal protein (lo-so, lo-pro)

Water: as much as I want.

Exercise: Half hour of *something* every day

I'm in!! I went away last week and completely messed up my eating!!

Food: Stick to WW Flex Plan, stay within points
Water: lots and lots
Exercise: swim 4 days a week

Please count me in! Here are my challenges:

• Food: Deficits of 1,000+ Monday thru Friday, 400+ Saturdays and Sundays
  
  
• Water: Minimum 72 ounces every day
  
  
• Exercise: Minimum 30 minutes lifting, 30 minutes cardio, 5 days a week

OK, I'm going to do this in March if it kills me.

Food- All good choices. Remember, "just b/c you break one egg, you don't have to break the other 11." Try to get 5-10 servings of fruits/veggies a day.

Water- 64 oz / day or more

Exersize - Curves Monday-Friday and ANYTHING for at least 20 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays

These have been my challenges:

Food - stay between 1100-1700 daily (closer to 1100 during the week, closer to 1700 on the weekends)

Water - at least 4-5 liters per day though I usually do more

Exercise - at least 30 minutes per day though I usually do more

My plan for March:

• Calorie maximum of 1,800 -1,900 calories per day.
• Minimum 75 oz. of water.
• Exercise EVERY day (at least 1.5 mi on treadmill) AND
  M W F - weight training
  T Th - Yoga/Pilates/Jump rope/Crunches - pretty much anything
  Weekends - "free" (except treadmill)

Friday Night/Saturday 'Lunch' are "free" (can't go crazy - but CAN have that burger and pizza fries I've been craving all week )

Ok I'll jump in on this one.

My March Goals -
- carbohydrates 25g or less a day (except saturdays) under 25g + 1 meal of my choice
- 64 oz minimim of water
- walk (at least) 5 times a week on treadmill

My March goals are
64 oz water per day,
Exercise 3 X week,
And stick to my WW eating plan

*Updated for April*

Eating - NO refined sugar (except 2 Hershey's kisses/day ), portion control, avoiding processed foods, limit high GI items and WATCH FAT INTAKE!
H2O - 96 oz. daily
Exercise - Cardio - Walk or stationary bike 30-40 minutes a minimum of 4-days a week. Yoga and strength training on non-cardio days.

Definately going to give this my all this month.

*Get in 64oz. water daily
*At least 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week
*Watch portion sizes and what I eat.I don't eat to bad,but finishing off the kids dinner kills me.I need to get back into the habit of thinking it's not bad if I leave something on mine and others plates.

Stick to eating less and monitoring portions (my biggest issue). NO COKES!

Drink 64 oz water per day

Walk at least 1 mi per day and 15 miles per week
