MINI GOAL CHALLENGE!

NEW MINI GOAL CHALLENGE --DETAILS POSTED HERE: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1504663

Kaylajr and I have challenged each other to lose a very reasonable 5 pounds by JULY 4. Anyone one else want in on this challenge?


Okay gals and guys. We need support! We all have a lot going on and no matter what-- healthier lifestyles would really help!

Some need to lose a few pounds.

Some need to lose a lot of pounds.

Some need to exercise more.

Some need to drink less.

Some need to drink more (water)

Some need to just work on a healthier outlook.

I have a WISH Journal here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1392530&page=2

You can start one if you like or we could just post or daily eating and goals, triumphs and setbacks right here to make it easier for all to see. It would probably make it easier for all to see and comment on.

Here are some other sites that might help to get you started or give you some tools:
http://www.sparkpeople.com/ I just signed up for this and it is FREE and looks cool!

http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/forum/index.php A free South Beach Message Board

http://www.dwlz.com/ Great site to get information on EATING OUT! Tons of Restaurants and nutritional information for their dishes. Great for WW and other plans.

If you have other links let me know and I will put them here so they are easy to find

Cool! Thanks for starting this. DH and I are already eating healthy as of his high cholesterol check a couple of months ago. I have about 35 - 40 pounds left to lose. Today I've eaten a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios with skim milk, a salad with ham, cheese, tomato, and Ranch dressing., A couple of sugar free candies, and tonight pot roast with another salad. As you can probably tell, we are doing a variation on South Beach. DH has lost over 20 pounds. Sometimes I hate him!

 

[lovetoscrap]

I am adding helpful links up in the OP to make them easy to find. If you have any let me know and I will add them

 

[LaraK]

OK....I just weighed myself for the first time in months and months...

So here's what I'm starting now (ok, tomorrow)...

as of tomorrow, no more sugar in my coffee...fake stuff instead. No snacking as of tomorrow...coffee for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and desert on occation...have to get rid of the ice cream). Only sugar free drinks from this point forward. I pulled out the skinless chicken breasts for dinner tomorrow...instead of frying them up and pairing them with fries, I'm going to saute them in olive oil and have them with rice.

When I go to the store this weekend....NO JUNK! We'll add salad as a staple to our diet to fill us up. (told DH he was on a diet too) I'll even get the crappy fat free dressing.

Uh oh.

 

[lovetoscrap]

Well unless you are eating a diet pizza and low fat ice cream, then I will make an exception!

I have posted a Mini Challenge in the OP. Try to lose 5 pounds by 4th of July.

 

[disneymom3]

Oh my! You guys are always just what I need. I happened to see the link in scrappy's sig on another post. I am in! I have totally fallen off all the wagons--water, healthy eating, and excercise since my MS diagonsis. I am joining in and I am taking the challenge. Please just don't make me get one of those little clippie things. I am just not a clippie kind of girl! I will start posting my meals tomorrow. I am going to follow Weight Watchers.

 

[disneymom3]

I'll even get the crappy fat free dressing.

You know what I find is better? I just put some dressing in a little bowl and dip my fork in it before I fork up some salad. That way I use a little bit. I just can't stand the taste of the fat free stuf. Too chalky and too sour.

 

[lovetoscrap]

Hey, this is PMS--no clippy's required. Have we ever had rules about anything? But I like to show off so I might have to add them!

I also have found that if I take a few teaspoons of the dressing I like and mix it well with my "extras" on my salad before I add them to the lettuce--like the carrots, cucumbers, chicken, tomatos etc... That covers them in dressing and less is needed to make the whole salad taste good.

 

[sumrmist]

ok Im in for 5 pounds by July 5th I have anew bottle of hoodia trim
I ate watermelon tonight instead of ice cream.
