September 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.
September 2012 Challenge:
1. Stay ON PLAN the 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. Do as good (or better) than I did in August
2. Only weigh myself at the beginning, middle and end of the month.
3. Finish my FIRM TransFIRMation rotation.
4. Stay away from nuts this month.
5. Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.
6. Post here daily.
7. Log my food everyday on Lose It.
1. Stay under 1,800 calories.
2. Workout at least four days each week.
3. Log everything.
4. Check in here daily.
I'd love to get to 147 by the end of the month (or my birthday on the 25th). My original goal was 149 and I got there about a month early. Not sure if I'll make it all the way to 147 but I can try.
I WILL get my act together this month! this has gone on long enough!
NO overeating
NO slacking off
NO blowing off workouts
I WILL eat smaller portions of healthy foods
I WILL post what I eat online for all to see and snicker {ooooh, Snickers bars!}
I WILL exercise and follow my planned rotation
I will check-in often EVEN if I've fallen off my plan! confess, repent, move on
I need to get back on track. If I make this simple enough I can concentrate on the basics and get myself back OP.
I feel better already.

1. Stay in my calorie limit and track everything I eat in my calorie counter app.
2. Concentrate on weighing myself only every Sunday so the scale won't discourage me.
3. Excercise when I'm able to, (P.E., etc.) but not regularly.
4. Not eat junk and sugar food.
5. Would be nice to lose about 2kg/4lbs this month.
6. Being motivated, strong and succesful like last month.
