The Diehards have spoken -- it's time for a 12 week challenge!

Since we're all in different places in our journeys and with different goals, please list below what you have set for your personal goal. List both your weekly weight loss/maintenance goal AND your fitness goal. It can be to lose 1 pound a week and get to the gym twice a week. It can be to maintain your weight but do 100 squats a week. It can be to lose 2 pounds a week and do 6 hours of cardio. Whatever is going to help get you moving! Aim high!

We will start on Friday after this week's weigh-in. Friday's weigh-ins thereafter will also include how you did with your fitness goal.

Who's with me???

    I'd like to lose a pound per week, HOWEVER! I need my motiviation back, with football practices following work, meetings and half an hour drive home, I am like fried by the time I eat dinner. So my main goal through September and October is to get back to doing something!

    My goal is 1 pound lost per week and 7 hours of walking each week (until my hand gets better).

    September goals:
    -- Hal Higdon 10k Novice plan Weeks 4 through 7 as far as running
    -- 20-30 minutes Strength train in the company gym on Monday and Wednesday; and do Friday either at the gym or do body weight training at home.
    -- Figure out some sort of yoga and/or pilates plan that helps my knee rather than hurts it and incorporate that

    all the rest, eat right, drink water, lose weight, blah, blah , blah

    So. . .I disappeared for awhile and was excited to see a new challenge on here this morning! I've been highly unmotivated the last couple of weeks, so I need something to kick my butt in gear!

    I'd like to lose 1 pound a week. I'll spend 6 hours a week (at least) to get there. I also need to get my diet back on track, so we'll make that a goal as well.

    Laura,
    Is there a time frame on this challenge?
    I think it should stop before thanksgiving and then we can start a different one for the holiday season. Just my opinion to break things up.

    Looks like I called it a 12 week challenge in the first post but I just pulled that number out of the air. It will start September 13 and we could have the final weigh-in on Friday, November 15 - just have a 2 month challenge.

    Good day, Everyone! Want to add this to my initial goals for this Group...
    Weight Loss Goals:
    1) Get back to 'ski weight'. Now within 5 pounds of this.
    2) To weigh the same as when I moved here 13 years ago: still 23 pounds to go.
    Would love to do #1 ASAP; and #2 within 6 months of now.
