How about a low-carb challenge?
Hi everybody :wave:
I noticed over at the Body for Life thread (under Diet Plans) that they are starting a 3 week challenge after the Labor Day holliday. I thought that it might be helpful if we had our own challenge. We don't have to compete against each other to see who lost the most. What I would like to see would be a 3 week period of accountability. It doesn't matter what low-carb diet you follow. The daily goals could be: ~~ to eat clean (you could have 1 free meal and snack/week if you like) ~~~ drink at least 64 oz of water ~~~ get some form of exercise If we can do it for 3 weeks, it can become a habit and not as difficult to stay with it. What do you think? ~~~Sil :flow1: |
I'm up for it. I acutally told the BFL girls i'd do theirs, but i'll do ours!
|
I'm in. Three weeks from today I go for my pre-op physical so the timing is great.
I pledge to keep my carbs restricted to well below 100 every day. That means no "little treats" like licorice or ju-jubes! The only carbs I will eat will be low-GI carbs. |
Ladies, we can do this :cb:
I'll start the challenge thread on Sept. 3. So start your shopping lists and exercise plans and be ready to rock-n-roll. Maybe we can do a smiley-face system: you get a smiley face for each catagory (diet, water,exercise). Any suggestions are welcome. ~~~Sil |
Count me in!!!
This is JUST what I need, accountability. It's so easy to cheat myself, but If I know I have to report it, I take time to decide if I really want something.
|
I am IN!
I had the same thought this week, and was going to suggest a 2 weeker, but 3 weeks is better!
I have been doing great for the last couple of weeks, using fitday, and cutting calories a bit- so I want to: 1)diet- keep between 1400 and 1600 calories per day and under 70 g. of carb 2)water- drink only water, brewed green and black tea, or limited amounts of cranwater. And morning coffee, of course! 3)lifestyle(you can call this "exer-you-know-what" if you want:rolleyes: :shrug: ) EITHER do some weights, OR take a bath OR ride the exercise bike OR jump on the trampoline OR take a nap. This is for stress reduction, one nice thing per day for ME! NO CRAFTS! who's next? dottie want to post menu's and workouts? |
Hi ya'll....
I'd love to join in on your 30 day challenge! I'm on the same page as Barb G w/this...accountability helps me stay focused! |
I am in!!!
|

Me too... seems like a great way to keep focused! (and boy oh boy! do I ever need some focus right now!! :o)
|
Count me in! :D:
|
WOOO HOOO!! CHallenge, here we come!!!!
|
Opps....just realized I said 30 day challenge :) Can't wait to see how well we all do! What kind of physical activities are ya'll into? I have been playing basketball and frisbee...hehe...makes me feel like a kid and doesn't seem like work.
Peace! |
Okay, I'll deactivate my normal "lurker mode" to join in the challenge. I really need to be accountable for my exercise, or lack thereof.
|
I made a 3 week challenge chart.
If anyone would like a copy of the chart I made, just e-mail me: [email protected] and I can send you a copy. It's really basic, but I love my charts and graphs. I'm such a dorkette. :D
|
The timing is perfect! Count me in!
Uh, excercise? :barbell: :tape: j |
Oooh, just what I need! Do we check in each day? I'm all for posting whatever anybody would like...my menus, water amount, exercise etc. I'm ready!!
Dyan, I'd like to see your dorkette chart! Mail it to me at [email protected] :D Great idea, Sil! |
Just what I need
Been lurking all this time and gathering much information that I have been using. Just back from visiting my daughter and family in Rochester Mn I was very good the first 4 days than:devil: a little of this and that and I was off and running.
I will love to join you in the 3 week chalenge. Trixie |
I too would love to have a copy of the dorkett chart. [email protected] thanks!!
|
Okay, i'm in!! I need some encouragement and willpower anyway! It's football season and a really tough time to be dieting but i'm gonna give it a go!!--debyj:D
|
This is sometrhing I really need to do! Actually, I do my diet okay, but need to start exercising and counting my water amt. Will post tomorrow!
|
I'd love to join! May I also have a copy of your chart dyan_q? My email is [email protected]. Looking forward to this. I at least work to be accountable for my daily intake.

I am definitely IN. I've been sticking very well to the Fat Flush Plan (nearly typed Sat Slush Plan, LOL). It's very low carb according to FitDay so I think I qualify. I really need the accountability and I love the companionship. How and when are we to report in.
|
I'm in!!!! I just started all this stuff last week so i'm good to go!! I"m gonna try and not have any sugar!! ----but, there is no way i can give up my diet pepsi's!! I work 3rd shift and some caffeine is a must for me also!!---debyj:D
