Wake-up Call Challenge

Ok 126 days challenge .... When do we start ? I think we need to leave it for a few days to let people have a think about what they want to do and to decide if they wish to join in ? What say you ?

How about 126 days challenge? that is bang on 18 weeks (eeep :eek:)

http://caloriecount.about.com it is a free (we like that price ) site for tracking your food and exercise, it is American but you can add British foods and tag them if you eat them often!

Does it work if you make the meal yourself ?

That sounds good - but if people start say next Monday then they call it the 119 days challenge, start on the 2nd August (ebeh!!) it would be the 112 day challenge etc, basically you don't want a challenge running right up to Yule/Christmas/Hannukah when "stuff" would get in the way

So basically whenever people start, there is a set date for finishing? Would this be the 22nd November?

That's probably a better idea ... Why not call it 22nd November challenge ?

Yes it does, you can add a new recipe (stating how many portions it makes etc, oh and try and use American descriptions if you can, such as Scallion rather than Spring Onion and such like) - you then tag it with your own title (say Elantan's Veggie Chilli) and then add it to your day's food and it will put one portion in (with the kcals, fat, cholesterol, vitamins etc), this is good for us as we tend to home cook rather than buying ready made

21st of November would be the last day - so yes 22nd November challenge seems good! :j

I have been excitedly coming up with my 22 November challenge list :

1. Make sure that I am up to date on my bills
2. Be earning £1,200 a month (excluding DLA)
3. Have a completed budget that counts for all of my outgoings and make sure I am sticking to it
4. Get my weight up to 8st 7lbs
5. Get all my Christmas presents for free.
6. Pay off my sofa (just under £400)
7. Get my passport by selling stuff on eBay.
8. Avoid buying any more clothes (apart from a bikini that I need for my holiday – I don’t have one!)

Eeep! Good luck! I think I will stick with trying to lose weight (I want to lose more than you want to get up to :eek::(:eek:, I wouldn't mind but I don't overeat - indeed I tend to UNDEReat, if I can't lose weight because of the medical problem of the hypothroidism I want at least to know that I am eating enough AND that it is healthy)
