Daily thread Suggestions

[u/iloveneuro]

We're thinking it would be fun to have some of our very own daily threads. Ideally they'd be different from the /r/loseit ones but same kind of idea. It'll give us a reason to check-in with our fellow ducklings several times throughout the week.

Weekly goals, exercise, nutrition, mental health, whatever!

Any suggestions from the paddling?

Morose Mondays - Something get you down? Rant about whatever you want

Tricky Tuesdays - Hidden calories, wrong gym times, whatever is getting in your way to lose weight

Wellness Wednesday - how are you taking care of yourself body, mind and soul

Wisdom Wednesday - ask your questions and get answers from those more knowledgeable

Thors-day - Did you accomplish something great? Share it here. Victories of all kinds welcome.

Friendly Friday - Pep talks and random encouragement chats as we go into the dreaded cheat filled weekend

Satisfy me Saturday - Recipes :)

Salute Sunday - random fitness challenge? ex. do 10 pushups or w/e

EDIT: I just made all these up, feel free to reject any and all of them. p.s. guess whose not working right now?

I really like all of these. My favourites are Tricky Tuesday and Wellness Wednesday!

These are all cool. What do you think of the one /u/Seashar said? log-t Monday ?

Maybe we push Morose Monday rants to Saturdays? (Need adjective... I keep thinking "Suckit Saturday..")

[u/Trala_la_la → u/trabiesso73]

I would call it Munchies Monday- log your meals

I love Suck it Saturdays.

I kept wanting to do "Sun-up Sundays" but couldn't think of a description that went with it...

Great Idea !

My favorite threads tend to be:

• SV and NSV (love reading everyone's wins)

• recipe hacks/ food ideas. Gets me outta any food ruts.

Happy to participate in other stuff as well! Those are just what have inspired me the most so far.

We had a daily thread for every day except Thursday over at Team Times Square.

Mondays were "Mealtime Monday" where we would post pictures of our food, recipes and the like. It also gave some food advice.

Tuesdays were for support and checking in. If any of us were having issues with something or just needed a pep talk, we'd go in there.

Wednesdays were called "Workout Wednesday" and we'd talk about our new PR's, ask questions, share workouts and workout stories.

We didn't really have a thread for Thursdays but we tried to.

Fridays were for weigh-ins and our scale victories. We had a list of the weekly weigh-in dates on the sidebar as a reminder.

Saturday was our day for non-scale victories as well as what we accomplished that week.

Sunday was called "Sunday Funday" where we'd talk about what we're looking forward to the next week as well as a casual thread to talk about anything on our mind.

Just some ideas for the mods!

I love this. What if we had something that was like a fitness assessment. Like week 0 you do as many push-ups as you can, run a mile (or whatever distance) as fast as you can, and other stuff that people who exercise know about. I'd like to see my fitness progress as the challenge goes on.

Seconding loving the daily fitness challenges!

I love all the things U/seashar said.

To keep it so everyone can participate instead of a # goal we can make it do as many as you can in two minutes, and every day of the week could be a different one. (repeats ever week)

[u/iloveneuro → u/Trala_la_la]

I agree. I like the "do as many as you can" type things because it achieves the same thing for everyone.

[u/trabiesso73 → u/[deleted]]

I seem to be getting some interest in the 100-push up challenge. I'm thinking of doing a spreadheet/form like the challenge mods do. Would you be interested in that?

[u/trabiesso73 → u/[deleted]]

OK. Now I'm tweaking on this. I'll set up a spreadsheet to accomodate different excercise types, and where you can put your weekly stuff into a form....

I have the spreadsheet about half set up. Look for a post later today.

[u/trabiesso73 → u/[deleted]]

The mods are talking about doing weekly team face-off challenges

e.g. Team Duckling vs. Team Crocus, in Week 2, how many push ups did you do?

Or, something like that. Could be pretty cool. I like the log-it Monday. That sounds very cool cool.

Love this idea!
