St Patty's Day Challenge! How's everyone doing?

Hey Everyone, 

Monday officially started the challenge, we had some people decide to join in after the last post so I wanted to post the updated list. We have a total of 33 people in the challenge, I'm glad to see so many decided to join in! If anyone else would like to join, just let me know. I'm still missing a couple peoples of weights so hopefully I will get those before the first weigh in. I will be posting the Weigh in posts late Sunday and will post the results on Wednesday. You can either reply to the post, or message me directly whichever works best for you.  

So everyone how is your first week going so far? Has anyone decided to stick to a specific plan for the challenge? I have been trying to stick with this plan for a few weeks now but I have the habit of sticking with something for a few weeks then falling off track, so I'm hoping the challenge will keep me motivated and stay on track.

My plan is to:

Eat low carb-no more than 20 net carbs per day
Exercise at least 3-4 times a week-exercising is going to be the biggest challenge for me

Good Luck to everyone, I hope you guys are having a great 1st week! Let me know how you are doing so far.

Hi There,
I did sign up to loose 12 lbs but do not see my name on the list.  Can you please add me.

Thanks for doing this. 

I apologize, apparently there were a few others that signed up the same day you did that didn't save on my spreadsheet correctly, so I'm glad you noticed. Thank you.

Me, too. I get all pumped up and then seem to falter down the road. LOL
I plan on eating small amounts, protein, veggie or fruit, good carbs In that order.
Exercise every day, if not double up on the days I skip (I HATE to exercise)
Thanks for helping us keep on track!!!

Sounds like a good plan Mari! I hope to work my way up to working out everyday but I think its good to take at least a couple days off a week.

For me, If I take off a couple of days off, I will more than likely stop.  So in my mind I have to commit, now do I do it every day, no. LOL

Here is an updated corrected list:

 I need to refocus on lowering carbs and avoiding all sweetners.  Since I was sick, things have gotten all messed up.  This challenge should set me right!  :)

If I can get over this flu it would really help to set my goals right I haven't being able to eat or drink since tues finally starting on gatorade on dr orders with med.

Oh wow, sorry to hear. The flu is the worse. Hopefully the gatorade and meds help you get better quick.
