Tell us the details!

Well basically we just need to decide what things we want to award points for, like eating healthy (or sticking to your plan if you have one), drinking your water, exercising, sharing health tips with the rest of the group, etc. Then we set a date to begin and end, and one person would be in charge of keeping up with everyone's points. This is an honor system program, so don't check in and say "I earned 3 pts because I worked out, ate healthy and drank my water" when you didn't do it. And maybe at the end we could come up with some e-prizes for the winners. But the goal is for everyone to feel good and be healthier, which is a great reward in itself.

OOoooo please let me in the challenge! I have hit a slump and I need to break it .....yesterday!

I want in the challenge. I need some motivation, I have a lot to lose so I need something to help me stay on board this long journey.

ETA: I have a 6 month old baby girl---ok, let me stop, I was about to blame it on baby weight, but I was out of control before I got pregnant. Never mind....

I think that this is great. I wish everyone the best!

I would recommend lots of water, fruits and vegetables. I love strawberries and grapes so I try to keep them handy. You don't have to join a gym right off the bat. You can just start taking walks. I think it will work best if you take it slow. It also will become a lifestyle change. Make it fun and find activities that you enjoy otherwise you will get bored and you will become discouraged. If you cheat or whatever don't beat yourself up just do better next time.

It is easier if you have a workout partner. Someone who motivates you not someone who keeps trying to get you to go to McDonalds

.

Also, this is just me but I stay away from scales! I'm small but I've never believed in getting people caught up in how much they weigh. Use your clothes as an indicator. That scale will drive you MAD!
