This seemed to work well for October so let's give it another try shall we? Here's how the Points Challenge (designed by Sandi of the 100 lb. Club) works: Every day, starting Nov 1 and going until Nov 30, you have the chance to earn 4 points doing the things we all know help with weight loss: food, exercise, and water. You get 2 points for following your own personal plan for food, 1 point for getting in your planned exercise, and 1 point for drinking the amount of water you've set as your goal. That means that a total of 120 points are possible for the month of November.

Just post your points for each day as you go along, you can add to a previous post by editing or just post a new reply. I'll keep a log of everyone's points (and the days that they've updated) at the top.

Good luck!

Next month I will add a calorie goal or something because even though I'm getting all my points some days my eating is still terrible but it's not accounted for here because I still get water, fruits/veggies, etc

I would like to join this challenge. I am doing pretty well with my exercising and fair with diet, but I have taken less care with my water intake of late. I was just noticing I have not had anywhere 8 glasses today, for instance.
Goof idea this challenge.

Yuppers I'm in (again) although I'm away in Japan for 10 days, so lordie knows what's going to happen then! I'll have to keep up my kickboxing practice so I should at least try and eat healthily! Maybe my goal for Japan is to listen to my body and feed it when it's hungry!!

Ok, goals the same as last month, 1 pt for water, 2 pts for food and 1 pt for exercise!

I noticed i haven't been doing a good job updating this or doing well with this point challenge. I'm too busy this month in order to give my full effort towards this. Maybe next month.

I wish all you girls good luck!

OK, I'll join this one too.
