I am restarting again tomorrow. I can't even think about how long I have to be on this. So,I decided to give myself at least 5 days.I think I can do it for that long.For the next 5 days :I will
-count calories
-exercise{which means just try to move more right now}maybe 5 minutes of walking/per day
-Drink at least 48 oz of water/per day
If anyone wants to join me ,on a healthier lifestlye for the next 5 days. That
would be great!The more the merrier!June8-June12

I'm in! I'm leaving on vacation for Cali the 13th and need to lose that last 6 lbs for my goal.. so I am definitly in!

I'm in on this one...I have a hard time making it one day and I finally did it today. Good luck ya'll!

I'm in. I need to focus on each day at a time and not the long haul right now.

For the next 5 days I will:'

*take a daily walk and track my mileage/progres on Map My Run
*log all of my meals and snacks on FitDay as soon as they are eaten
*drink 200 oz of water per day
*eat breakfast

Why not, I'm in!

Goals:
~Exercise Everyday
~Drink at least 100 ounces of water
~Eat Healthy (ie, no processed foods)

I have been craving potato chips and have managed to make it a week OP. I want to continue that success, so this 5 day challenge is perfect for me.

Welcome Everyone,
I know we can do this!:cheer:
And what is great,is it is only 5 days at a time.Very doable!
:goodvibes: to everyone!

Woo Hoo! It's day one. We can do this!

SO far so good for me today!
I exercised on my elliptical for 10 minutes!::woohoo::woohoo:(I haven't been on that thing in over a year)
I drank24 0z of water already,and it's only12:00
Calories are good too!{so far}
I'll check back later! Day1 is looking good!:)

Bk:coffee w//splenda 0cal.
L:Giant salad 75CAL.


Lite Ranch 120cal.
Lean Cuisine 340cal.
D:Soup&Cheese 75 cal.14 more oz of waterSn.sfpudding&banana200cal.

I'm having a good day here as well. We had McDonald's for lunch but I ate less than half as much as I usually do and only had about 2 oz of soda. :) Also got in a ten minute walk.

Edited @1843 EST to add- So far so good. Need to add some more water in but otherwise I'm doing really well thus far. I missed breakfast because dh grabbed the slim fast and grabbed lo carb for me by accident. I can't stand lo carb.

Count me in, too. Thanksf or starting this thread - I like focusing just a few days at a time. My goal is no sugar for the next five days. I just had a skim latte w/ a tsp of sugar, but from now until Saturday no sugar or sweetner for me! I've done this before - have actually cut out sugar for weeks at a time - and I find my cravings go away and food tastes better and it helps with weight loss.

im in..i love challenges..

Day 3 went alright. Got my water in, going to the weight room when the kids go to sleep. Had breakfast even! Ate way too many calories for lunch and dinner but it's a once a week thing. Husband goes to the VA once a week for therapies and we usually get at least one meal a day on the road by necessity.

Day 3 GREAT! Got in all my water, food went great, and got about 3 1/2 hours of exercise in.

On to day 4...

Day4
Not so good on food& exercise:(
But still drank 32 oz water so far:)

Day5:)
I plan on doing better today!I got weighed and lost. YEAH ME! :cheer2: :cheer2:

Day 4 was alright. Not my best effort by far but also not my worst. Got in breakfast, most of my water, but an abbreviated walk due to weather. Tracked some but not all of my meals :(

Today is going alright. I'm struggling with some heavy emotional stuff and am doing a pretty good job with not eating my way through my stress.

I did pretty good w/food & water.No exercise. But I still lost 3 lbs this week,on the 5 day challenge. Yeah!:woohoo:

I'm calling this a success :) Lost 2 pounds total and am beyond thrilled :)

So are we doing this again next week?
