hey

i was just sitting here wondering what we could do to have more fun as july banders. i thought we could do a challenge. it should not be a report pounds lost challenge though. i thought we could do it for a month and switch up the challenge monthly.

would anyone like to do it? if so share your challenge ideas so we can start asap. or maybe we could do a mini-challenge for august then start another on sept. 1st.

keep in mind these challenge can be any and everything.

I think if we do a challenge, it should be more on the mechanics of the band. Like an exercise challenge or a Water challenge. I think if we can get the mechanics down, then the weight loss kind of takes care of itself.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

And where is everyone? We have lots of MIA's. Juniper comes to mind... there were lots of us!

That sounds like fun! I agree with you, I don't think it should be a "pounds lost" challenge but rather some aspect of healthy living with the band.

Love this idea! Count me in!

I like the Water idea...having such a hard time getting mine in with the small amount i can drink at a time, waiting before and after meals, etc...

or maybe a Protein challenge? that's another tough one to get used to since we have to get in such a large amount everyday.

Count me in! I also like the idea of a living with the band challenge versus pounds

Agreed! A water, protein or exercise challenge sounds great!

My two biggest challenges right now are getting in water and exercise. A challenge around either of these would definitely interest me!

So how are we going to do this? We could have a separate thread for each challenge. Water challenge thread and exercise challenge thread. Then will everyone post daily their totals or just set a goal or what? What are your thoughts? I agree.. those two (water and exercise) are definately the hardest for me!
