My original goal was to just stay on plan, but I think I need to pay attention to where I stray. I think I'm going to commit to calorie counting for the challenge. It will be huge pain at times, but I think it will help keep me on track!

After gaining 20 (!!!!) pounds and going off plan in law school, this is just the type of accountability I need. Thanks for setting it up, y'all!

My goal is to a) drink a minimum of 1.5 L bottle a day b) eat 4.5 cups of veggies a day and c) no eating after 10 pm! and d) exercise 3 times a week!


March 5 - 1 point. (I finished my snack around 10:30 pm. Sigh.)
March 6 - 2 points. (Drank over my minimum water and *exercised*.)
March 7 - 2 points. (First day of running again!)
March 8 - 2 points. (all veg, all h20, rest day, but was super hungry all day and ate lots of cheese, not more veg, to make up for it...)
March 9 - 1 point. (Forgot to post!)
March 10 -0 points. (oh, man. Literally no sleep+need to write forty pages due in 8 hours=way, way, way off plan.)
March 11 -1 point (drank water, ate right back on plan, but bf came over and didn't get to go for a run)
....
March 12 -0 points (heh. Slept in late, had healthy breakfast, but not enough veggies at lunch and off plan dinner. Migraine=no gym.)
March 13 -0 points (Spring break partying=bar food at 3 am. Ugh.)
March 14 - 0 points (Off plan dinner of pad thai, margaritas. More spring break fun. Not enough veggies. No gym. Not enough water.)
March 15 -1 point (didn't drink enough water, but no eating after 10 pm and ran again today.)
March 16 -1 point (exercised, ate after 10 pm but was starving/not mindless. H20 good, but a bit short on veggies.)
March 17 - 2 points. (Struggled w/eating after 10 pm, but went for walk instead. Way, way, way over calories, but ate all veggies!)
March 18 -1 point (forgot to post. Rest day.)
...
March 19 - 1 point. (Cup short on veggies, but ran today and did great on water. Ate maintenance level at party, which is mixed.)
March 20 - 2 points. (Ran again, great on water, did not eat after 10 pm, did not use food as emotional comfort after bf and I broke up.)
March 21 - 2 points. (Easy walk at gym instead of "rest day," great on veggies, water. Did not use food to soothe myself even though crying and upset all day, which is a huge change for me.)

I'm new to tracking my food and feel it's what I need to do to get to my goal weight. I'm already learning lots.

My goal is to track my food, exercise and weight every day.

I am a day late, but I needed to think about this goal. I think I will commit to calorie counting for the challenge. I am not shooting for any particular calorie level, but I think I need to re-focus on portion awareness, and just knowing how much is going in will be helpful. I really think I'm eating way more than I'm admitting.

Pick something you want to work on (for instance, let's say you want to work out at least 30 minutes a day). The days you meet your goal, you get 2 points and you come back here and put it down for that day. The days you do NOT meet your goal, you get 1 point and you come back here and put it down for that day. If you do not meet your goal and do not come back here and record it for the day, you get 0 points.

I am new here & just found this.. I know I only have 2 weeks left but can I join in? It looks like most people are behind if I'm reading this right

Changed my mind since I have one walking challenge I'm gonna see how many weight watchers points I'm eating. I am allowed 24 & I figured I ate 25 points today so I am right on target. If I remember correctly each point is approximately 50 calories.

April 4=2 (25 WW points)
April 5=2 (26 WW points)
April 6=1 I don't know how many points a few thing I ate have. I was OP except for the junior size Arby's sandwich with no cheese or sauce..also the 1 INCH piece of Ice cream cake I had.
April 7=2 (20 WW points but don't know how many points in the 550 calorie Applebee's dinner.
