It's the half way point - we've all be there. Don't give up. Even if you've lost your place, not is a great time to get back on track. Post a message in the Challenge Forum, talk about what is going on. Record your weight, even if it is not what you want.

Week 6
Guidelines:
We all have things that tempt us ... and this week is a good time to challenge yourself to face those temptations. Identify TWO temptations: The first should be something that makes it hard to stick to your guns (ice cream in the house, the first cookie, not getting up in time to workout) and you should record a plan to AVOID the temptation trap. The second should be something that you need to be conscientious about but that realistically you are going to have in your life and you should practice PORTION CONTROL (1 glass of Guinness or wine, 1 piece of chocolate, only watching one hour of tv). Tell us what focus is in the FORUMS!

Weeks 7 to 10
Guidelines:
Back to your appointment book! Did you succeed at the first month of making an appointment to exercise? Great - now is the time to increase your intensity or time. Did you slack off last month? Why? Maybe you were trying to do too much, maybe you need shorter workouts throughout the day like walking, or a few intense sessions a week on fewer days. Don't give up!

Week 8
Guidelines:
It's been almost two months - let's celebrate what you've accomplished so far! Identify a non-food based reward: a new outfit, a manicure, an hour to yourself ... think of something that you can do for yourself everytime you meet a personal goal. (Our society often "rewards" us with food, so we need to get out of the cookie/brownie/ice cream trap and enjoy food because of its taste and nutrition, not because we "deserve" it.)
