QOTW: Challenges, Schmallenges ...
| Mon, 04-23-2007 - 11:29am |
Alright ladies, I'm sure you know IG and I try to keep you all on your toes with different challenges and mini-challenges. I know it definitely helps me focus my efforts - even if I don't see any immediate results!
So how many of you have tried other site challenges like SHAPE's Bikini Body or other SHAPE magazine challenges or plans? How about the SELF Challenge that is held quite regularly on their site? Any other challenges?


Miranda-
I have signed up for other challenges and never complete them- my weeks always get so off I get discouraged and drop out of them.

I've not really tried any other challenges because I tell myself they are too regimented for me to be successful, when in reality, I'm just lazy. LOL
Have you tried any of the community Challenges here on iVillage?
I think I did sign up for a few of them, but I don't think I followed through.
What makes a good challenge for you? Do you find them helpful? What works and what doesn't work for you?
I think that having a clear goals helps me, and I do find them helpful if only to keep me a bit more focused. I think that the one's I find most helpful are the ones where I can tailor it to meet my needs but still adhere to the general goals.
Of course, I'm still at the same weight I was two years ago, so I don't know that any of those things really work! LOL
Actually a challenge is what brought me to iVillage in the beginning :-)
It was a walking challenge of some sort, and I think the only challenge that I really completed feeling good about! I do like the idea of challenges, but also find some of them a little restrictive.....there doesn't seem to be much room left for accommodating things like time restraints, food likes/dislikes etc.....

Nope.
I've signed up for challenges...then never finished them either.
