I won the FabFatties Healthy Challenge! I can’t believe it. I think it had a lot to do with the many people I recruited the first day, AND to the daily workouts which really added up the points. I didn’t think I was doing that spectacularly, but clearly that was pretty good!
I’m wondering about all the people I recruited who did NOT send their points in to be tabulated. Did you do the challenge? What happened? I am very curious about the members of Team Foodie and how it all went for people. Things seemed to get pretty quiet over here after the first day. Was it too much to keep track of? Too much to do? Did you do it but not track it? Or…?
WHAT HAPPENED? I want to know.

I don’t know about the others, but the challenge happened to fall at a random time for me. I was out of town during the first week and while I still documented my food intake, I didn’t get to workout near as much as I’d hoped. So that kind of threw me off…
CONGRATULATIONS on winning, though! You are a great motivator… you deserve it! 🙂

Congratulations! You deserved to win!
I did do the challenge and did turn my points in- 595.
I consistently (all but ONE day!) got at least 5 servings of fruits & veggies, drank 8 glasses of water/day, had a healthy breakfast and kept a food journal; I gave up diet pop, did good deeds and exercised as much as I felt I could, and I lost 3 lbs! But I had no time or energy to do any of the blog/social networking stuff, so I just focused on what I could do.
This challenge really helped me, and I think I’ve figured out how to tweak it to continue the challenge as a rough guide going forward.

Violeta, that is phenomenal! Three pounds is great, and it sounds like you did GREAT. I am excited for you!!!!

Congrats, Foodie!!!
I’m a little late to the party. My total was 557. I was sick for 4 days of the challenge, and so didn’t track those days. I did lose a couple of pounds, but bounced back up a pound this week…I think the loss was more from being sick and busy and eating less than usual rather than following the challenge, although it had a lot of the aspects I’ve worked into tracking in my own health log.
Congrats to Violeta, too!
