21-Day Challenge, All Welcome
 

I am challenging myself to eat no more than 1900 calories for 21 Days. I'll post my results on this thread intermittenly (maybe daily, but at least weekly).

The parameters of my personal challenge are that the calorie level must be no more than 1900 in a 24-hour period and that the successful days must be consecutive. I count my weight management "days" from midnight to midnight.

This is DAY ONE. Edited my challenge rules to add three "free passes" before starting over. Details are in a subsequent post.

All are welcome to join in and set their own 21-day challenges related to weight management and fitness. :snowglo:

I'll join, 21 day kick start to getting back on the low carb wagon for me!

Welcome Mothermavis and Aria! Thanks for joining in! :wave:

My Day 1 Calories were 1895, so I'm giving myself a cheer for a successful day. :cheer3:

This is Day 2. I can do it! :carrot:

i'm in i'm just starting atkins and my goal is stay on plan

Welcome, Mom2threebratz! Thanks for joining us. :wave:

Already at 2520 cals for Day 2, but instead of calling it quits and starting over, I am amending my challenge to increase my chances of success (and success is my real object here).

I'm adding three one-time-use-only "FREE PASSES" to the parameters so that I can keep going and not get into a negative place about this challenge, which is supposed to be fun and supportive of my goals, not an exercise in continually starting over like a ping pong ball. :rofl: :dance:

So, using one FREE PASS, I am calling Day 2 a qualified success and moving on to tomorrow, which is Day 3.

Day 3, TBD

FREE PASSES Left: 2 of 3

Today is Day 4; Calories TBD.

Day 3 was a success at 1890.

FREE PASSES Left: 2 of 3

I'd love to join. My goal is to work out 5 days/week and stay under 1,600 calories 6 days a week and under 2,000 on my "cheat day". I started logging calories again yesterday and was at 1,588 for the day with a workout. My Fitness Pal has me at 1200 calories (without exercise factored in) to reach my goal of 1.5 pounds of loss/week but I just think that is entirely too low and don't want to send my body into starvation/storage mode. Edit: I wanted to add my starting weight of 166.

Day 1 (12/30): 1588 calories, 40 minutes DDP yoga.

I'd love to join too..
My goals:
Exercise 6 days a week
Stay under my calorie goal that MFP gives me
Stick to water, no Pepsi

I'd love to join! My calorie goal is 1673, so 1900 is actually pretty perfect for me also. I think I'll allow myself three passes also, BUT on the days I use my passes I have to exercise for at least 30 mins. I'll count yesterday as day one :-).
Date:Weight/Calories:
Day 1 (12/30): 207.2/1732
Day 2 (12/31): 206.6/1970 PASS
Day 3 (1/1): 206.8/1843
Day 4 (1/2): 206.2. starting over! See new post.

So tonight is new years eve and my DH and step daughter and I are spending the evening at home. I will toast the new year and we have a nice dinner planned. So I have a feeling I'll use my first pass tonight :-).
