This is a great idea! A friend f mine is doing this at her work to see who does the most steps. The one with the most steps wins something (example: Ipod) for us, TOYS LOL

Along the lines of the "junk food" which would be really hard for me, my wife is not the healthiest of cooks.

But maybe, committing to one day of healthy meals/snacks. That way when we fall off the wagon, it isn't such a drop. Again, it would have to be based off the honor system.

Yes I agree. Also they will provide a fantastic pool from which to find ideas on how to include certain foods into meals.

That's been my concern as well.
I would love to lose weight but for my size, those amounts of weight loss would be severly unhealthy.

Okay, so to wrap this up, our goal this month is going to be "Including 3-5 servings of fruits and veggies every day." I will be posting the poll for the contest voting in the morning, so you'll be able to vote on which contest we're going to run.

I will also be creating a "Health Issues" thread where people can go and discuss and gain support for other health related things that are not directly linked to healthy eating and exercise.

This has been a fantastic meeting! Please, keep your ideas for contests coming. I will be tallying them up in the morning. No rush, stay and chat!

But that way, for those who think they would cheat, if they wanted snacks for their week, they could make something as a backup and would ... more
This one does sound good as well!

I know. Which is why I went with the lighthearted response instead of the "OMG, do you really think that I would do that?" response!

Will start to drinking water again, like I said the first two weeks I was doing good and was even having lots of veggies in my omelet. Will get back to it and add fruit as well.


Have a good night all. Bye.

Yeah, it wouldn't work for everyone. It wouldn't work for me either. I was just throwing it out there. But honestly, I don't think it's safe because there's no way to tell if someone is losing weight in a healthy way. A contest like that could trigger some sort of eatign disorder.

There might also be a first and second prize. I've had someone offer to donate a prize as well!

I've been doing much better with drinking water. I found it is easier for me to get in 8 glasses of water using a water bottle. It has the ounces on the side of it. The water bottle contains up to 24 ounces of water. I know if I fill up and drink my water bottle 3 times I've reached my goal and then some.
