I always get so amped when I read about challenges.
But then I don't follow them.
I left MFP a few weeks ago because I got so consumed by the social part of it. I would really beat myself up when I saw the posts on my wall after a weekend asking "where are you?" "come back", ect ect. So I decided to move to FatSecret, which is a no frills kind of site where I won't get distracted. I can track my food and leave. :)
Today I was wandering around the site and came across the challenges tab. I love to read challenges, but I can never seem to stay on track. EXCEPT for when I did that detox a few weeks ago.
Below is a challenge I found from FatSecret. I did edit it a bit for grammer, typos, and to fit my needs (ie, I changed no fast food to no fried foods for Week 9 since I don't eat fast food. If you want to see the original, just click the link below. Let me know what ya'll think.
