CruiseBoxAD Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I started my weight loss January 16. I have lost 9 pounds. And two inches from my waist. However I did gain 1inch in my chest. Maybe I didn't measure it right the first time. But happy about the rest. I also found a job with a organization that I have been trying to get into for 4 years maybe longer. Hopefully I can keep snacking under control being in office now. looking forward to my first challenge 3 Quote Link to comment

Guzzi Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Awesome! Well done! The challenge starts on the 12th but the forum is up and running now for people to write their threads. There's a great page with all the instructions and stuff here but if you need any help then just ask in here, tag either me or Mr.Six to be sure we see it. The best advice I can give you about doing your challenge is: A- make your goals simple and easy to accomplish. The idea isn't really to "challenge" yourself but to build new, better habits so make it something you think you can do for 4 weeks. B- make it specific, no wish-washy "do more....". You need to be able to answer "yes, I did that" or "no, I didn't". C- have a scoring system so that you allocate yourself points for the times that you did something rather than feeling like you failed the whole week just because you slipped up one day. If you want to do something every day then your score for the week would be "X out of 7" you could even have bonus point for completing your full quota. I hope hope that is useful to you.

CruiseBoxAD Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 thanks that helps. My new job offers Adult Martial art classes for free. I have always wanted to try it. So I might put it into my four week challenge. they offer bonuses for doing health related stuff but they also pasted out free candy bar during training. Because they also own a chocolate company.

That can be one of the toughest challenges. I am a high school teacher, and the teacher's lounge is often filled with home-baked sweet treats, soda, and other junk food. I miss when I used to work with a lady from Bosnia who made baklava.

AnnaBecker Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Great job! I'm on a quest too. Lost 11 lbs in the past 5 weeks. Eating better nutritionally, and more but smaller meals. Quit the snacking at night, and walking 10,000 steps every day. It's a journey. I didn't put it on in a few weeks and I won't take it all off in a few weeks either. The Martial Arts classes sound like fun! Keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment

CruiseBoxAD Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 update. I am setting alot more at my new job. Which is good and bad. I don't set the whole time but its lot more setting than my last job. I had a set back this weekend. I eat out 2 times I tried to pick the healthiest thing on the menu and my niece is birthday is tomorrow. But they had her cake yesterday I eat a small piece. I didn't workout all weekend. Unless you count all the walking I did when I went shopping for new work clothes. I am trying not to be to hard on myself. Just eat healthy today and workout after work. Quote Link to comment
