summer challenge- from Parka to bathing suit!

Options
I just read a post about a summer challenge.. however, the author had a great idea. She mentioned that sometimes these challenges can become overwhelming when you have 100s of people joining in and you can't really help motivate or get to know the people you are in the challenge with! She is right.. I am doing a St. Patty's Day challenge where there is tons of people and I barely have time to read who is struggling and need some extra motivation or who needs a cyber high-five for a job well done. So I am stealing her idea (sorry, but thanks for the idea nonetheless). So I would like to start another summer challenge (Summer Challenge - part 2) lol.. maybe 10 people so we can all movtivate one another, share excercises and recipes to be fit and fab for bathing suit weather. Because right now, I would rather move to the North Pole and wear a parka then relax on the beach with a skimpy bathing suit.. I need HELP! So first 10 people who want to do this with me.. leave a comment.. I would be honored!

    I love the the idea of having fewer ppl in the challenge. It will be my first challenge as well.

    I'm in! Haven't done a challenge before either. Just got remotivated after needing to get my gallbladder removed at age 20 (both from hereditary stuff and a high-fat diet). Definitely wanting to get to the point of enjoying swimsuit weather while comfortable in a swimsuit!

    I'd love to be part of this challenge also! I'm "supposed" to be in a couple others, but there is just way too many people in them and I feel like I can't keep up. So I'm excited for this!

    I'm in. I am in the same St. Patrick's challenge, and it is just too big, too hard to make real connections. Other challenges I have been in before top out around 15 and then there is usually some that drop out.

    I would love to be a part of this challenge, it will be my first as well! After seeing a picture of me in my favorite suit last summer, that's actually when I joined MFP- lost some weight, but kind of fell off the wagon during the holidays. I'm back and super motivated this time!!!

    I agree I am not doing too well in the others because there is 12 pages to sort through during the first week!

    Hello!

    I would love to participate in this also and am typing fast because 2 more people replied while I was distracted! :-) We are going on a trip to Palm Springs in April when my boys' (7 and 10yrs) are on spring break and then a summer vacation in June so I have two goals that I want to work toward and would love to feel and look great in a bikini! Or even shorts and tank tops for that matter.....

    I'm in the same boat as you! I had my gallbladder out when I was 17 (almost 20 now). I just wasn't as motivated after I got mine out. Not until I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and the lbs shot up! Boooo. Haha.
