We have been having a monthly challenge. The first one in April was a "no cheat challenge". The rules essentially (since we are all on different plans) was to not cheat through the whole month of April. A cheat was anything you consider a cheat. Well, of course, more of us cheated than didn't (but small cheats). So for May, Kel came up with the "No Stopping Us Challenge". The idea here was even if you slip up, get going again right away. This was a little more manageable even though it didn't have the Punch and the Guilt of the April challenge.

In June, July and August we had "Still no stopping us" challenges. Same idea but I think we added an excercise challenge into one or two of those months, plus we added in successive 3 day no cheat challenges. No cheating for three days. And we kept track of how many times we actually managed to accept and stick with those mini no cheat challenges.

This month since August seemed to be a little low energy for a few of us, we have a new name. "Toughen up and just DEAL with it!" challenge.

The rules? Same as before, try not to cheat, not to get off track, but if you do, focus, toughen up, deal with whatever is distracting you from the goal and get back on track.

We post our progress here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flocers/ under "databases"

It is a membership group, but no cost to join, and joining is easy. You can check our archives to see how well we did with the various challenges since April. Look under 'files' then "progress" then "group progress". Or you can post for our current challenge, your starting weight and ending weight. Our weigh in days are Tuesdays and Saturdays. Plus we have a "mini" goals database where you post smaller along the way goals and your actual weight on the day you meet (or don't) your goal.

The group moderator there is Nancy (a girl on this board) and SHE HAS BEEN HIDING LATELY! NANCY where ARE you?

Anyway join us here or there and welcome to Septemeber's challenge.
