Day 1: 1425 Calories - Accomplished!
Day 2: 1427 Calories - Accomplished!
Day 3: 1421 Calories - Accomplished!

I just started taking a fibre supplement and I'm already having trouble remembering to take it so this sounds like a great reminder tool. So my challenge is to take that and drink at least 2 litres of water a day. I'm going to have to start tomorrow as I didn't bring my water bottle with me to work so I couldn't keep track.

Day 1: January 29th
Day 2: January 30th
Day 3: January 31st
Day 4: February 1st
Day 5: February 2nd- I wasn't able to measure my water today but I think I made it.
Day 6: February 3rd
Day 7: February 4th
Day 8: February 5th

Day 1: exercised (run + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 2: exercised (walk) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 3: exercised (elliptical + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 4: exercised (elliptical) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 5: exercised (elliptical + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 6: exercised (run) / Used pause #1 on calories!
Day 7: exercised (run + weights) / Used pause #2 on calories!
Day 8: exercised (run + elliptical) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 9: exercised (run) / stayed under 1500 cals

Congrats to everyone who is staying on plan....
Me too, which is awesome and unusual. Unfortunately not counterbalancing eating well, but maybe eventually.

changergirl-welcome and good luck!

Vabs-elliptical huh?recommend any brand? I'm thinking of getting a compact one for my new apt when I move...or before then maybe.

Vabs you are inspiring! So are you NightAngel

I will try one. I've been trying to exercise daily and have a tendency to quit after a few weeks... I've been going since the 7th now so.... I'll make this level 2 but hope...no plan to ace it instead of pausing.

Day 1: Exercised... volunteer day at the hospital so I did a lot of walking.

You guys are amazing! I can't wait until my next 21 day challenge where I will incorporate exercise as well.

Good Morning All,
Im a newbie to this challenge and so glad that I found it.
I think Im going to start with my water intake.
I seem to hardly ever be thirsty so this will be hard for me.
Plus I dont like drinking water..lol.

So todays starts day 1 for me.
Im going to drink a minimum of 50oz per day.

Count me in.
I'm planning for drinking 64 oz of water and exercise 30 mins minimum per day both at Level 1

1/29 Day 0: Drink 64 Oz water, Exercised 30 mins

Thank you LuvCats. Really, keeping my focus on 21 days at a time has done wonders for my commitment. The time just seems to fly by!

NightAngel26, my elliptical is a Welso Momentum 710. I got it from Walmart about 10 years ago (yikes that's a long time, lol) for about $150. I wanted to get a treadmill back then, but new ones are so pricey! It's held up great after all these years, and I've used it very frequently. Ellipticals seem to have a lot fewer parts that can break down, so I think it's a great investment.

Day 1: exercised (run + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 2: exercised (walk) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 3: exercised (elliptical + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals

Day 5: exercised (elliptical + weights) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 6: exercised (run) / Used pause #1 on calories!
Day 7: exercised (run + weights) / Used pause #2 on calories!
Day 8: exercised (run + elliptical) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 9: exercised (run) / stayed under 1500 cals
Day 10: exercised (walk) / stayed under 1500 cals

Woo, almost at the half way point again! Hope everyone is doing well!

Goal: Exercise everyday (Level 2 but trying to ace it).

Day 1: Exercised... volunteer day at the hospital so I did a lot of walking.
Day 2: Elliptical for 40 minutes (1.25 miles). The most in a long, long time! Yay.

Great job everyone! Lol @ the elliptical discussion. Mine is old too. Brand Nordic Track. Not sure how old but less than 16 years probably and more than a few.

Good Morning everyone! Everyone is doing great. Welcome to the newbies as well and good luck on your goals.

I desperately miss using the Elliptical at the gym, but can't justify spending 60 bucks/month just to use an elliptical. So when I do get my but in gear for exercise (it will be my next 21 day challenge) I'm going to be walking!

Great job everyone!!

I'll bet you could find an elliptical on Craig's list or want adds cheap, Laura78. I wouldn't be using one myself if I had to depend on the gym. Just don't do gym well... I've tried multiple times and just don't end up going.
