I've been having trouble lately staying under my calorie limit of 2200 calories a day so I'm starting this challenge. I don't eat scheduled meals or have forbidden foods. I just total up my days calories and try to make sure I don't go over my allotted calories.

Challenge: To get as many consecutive days of staying under your personal daily calorie limit as possible.

Open to anyone at anytime during the challenge.

Challenge Runs from Frebruary 5th through April Fool's Day.

Sounds good. I'm looking at keeping my cals down around 2200 for the next couple of months as well.

Consecutive days = 1

I might as well join too. At least for the month of February, I am aiming for 2800 calories +/- 100. Will try to post results each day, or at least a couple days at a time.

I'm in even though I'am maintaining way less calories than some of you guys. I'm committed to staying under 1600.

I'm out of this challenge. I've decided that I'll be throwing in a high-cal day once every two weeks or so, so I won't get too many consecutive days happening.

Good luck BlueThunder...:tu:

Thanks groomy. I've just been stressed over midterms coming up this week plus I tend to get bored on the weekends with nothing to do most of the days.
