12 week challenge...anyone??

tinytotnot

Okay so I have 15 weeks until my summer holiday, so thought what better way to up the motivation than with a 12 week challenge. Starting from Monday 16 May and for the following 12 weeks I am going to try and drop 28 lbs and hopefully 2 dress sizes. Using MFP I hope to do this in the most healthiest way possible.

Anyone up for the challenege??

I plan to post my starting weight on Monday (and dress size) and then again Monday 08 August.

I want in.

I'll post my info (weight and dress size) on Monday. Will we be posting once a week or once a month or something? (I'm a newbie and not sure how this works). Thanks.

tinytotnot

Wow, thanks everyone for the support, we CAN do this. I'd say weekly weigh in postings would be good, will keep us all motivated.

Monday here we come

Okay, so it's Monday and here we go:

Starting weight 231 lbs
dress size 18/20 (depends on the shop)

My aim for the 12 weeks is to drop to 203 lbs....actually if I am telling the truth it would be to drop to 199 lbs, just so I'm out of the 200's; and dress size to be 14/16, here's hoping.

I've decided to cut out wheat, sugar, alcohol and most dairy for the next 2 weeks, as well as no carbs after 6.00pm. I am planning on doing my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred every morning and then 45 minutes on the treadmill in the evenings, I tend to do a circuit type run, i.e. 1 minute at say 6.5 and then 2 minutes at 8.0, or as fast as I can, apparently it helps to burn the fat....as they same that proof will be in me not looking like a pudding!!!

Good luck everyone, looking forward to the support and good results :flowerforyou:

I'm in!!! I need a mini goal to help with the motivation.

222 lbs UK dress size 20.

Aim to get past the 200 lb mark at the least!!!

Here goes to the next 12 weeks

last_time11

Hey I'm in

My current weight is 83 kg / 182.9 lbs

Dress size is a little harder, I'm gonna go with 18

I'd like to loose 13 kg / 28 lbs

My weight loss at the moment is very very slow so I don't know how possible that is. I'm keeping my calories to 1200, doing 30 mins of cardio everyday, and some resistance training too, I'm looking into doing more, like maybe Insanity, or Jillian Michaels.

tinytotnot

Hey Last_time11 glad you're joining us.

I have been doing teh Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and as insane as it sounds, actually enjoying it, couple of the guys in work started that insanity thing and gave up after about 2 days as it was too hard, maybe IF I ever become really healthy I'll try that as a challenge!!

hi everyone can I join???

My name is Lyd from the UK and my current weight is 162lbs, I would like to lose 28lb to fit into my wedding dress by August, wedding is in November.

I have lost 10/11lbs so far with my fitness pal but I really need some new challenge, friends and motivation now!!!

good luck everyone! xxx

cherrydietcoke1

ps what is insanity???

tinytotnot

Hi Cherrydietcoke1

The more the merrier, I wish I had lost more weight for my wedding last year, but am making up for it now!!

Hopefully the link below to insanity website will work, all I know is that it is a very very very tough workout, I seen some TV ads for it a few weeks ago, and yikes

cherrydietcoke1

omg just had quick look at the link! its scary! I can't believe I haven't heard of it. Is anyone doing it? its expensive!!

I am a big size 12 at the moment, was 14 when started MFP, but my wedding dress is a US size 6 or 8-10 UK. My 34E boobs are never gonna fit into it as I am at the moment and I know I will regret it if I end up getting married being miserable feeling flabby!!

Where are you going on your holiday?? xx

bridetobe310711

good luck all!! xx

Hi Everyone!! My name is Nicole. I'm very excited about starting this challenge. I start Insanity today, so I'm very nervous/excited about that as well. I had a baby 5 months ago, and was finally able to get rid of all the 40 lbs that I gained ;-) I definitely am not "starting" my weight loss journey with Insanity; I actually began with Slim in 6 weeks to get the pregnancy weight off. I couldn't imagine doing Insanity without doing something else first to get in shape. I know plenty of people that did it that way though..

Here are my stats:
5'4", pant size 8 or 10 depending on the brand
Current Weight: 159lbs
Starting Weight: 184lbs
Goal Weight: 135lbs (size 4)


How is everyone able to get their stats and quotes underneath their weight loss ticker when they post comments???

Hi my wedding isn't til 11/11/11, but want to lose the weight really nice and slowly. I have my dress hanging in my spare room, try in on every couple of weeks and it is far too small round the back and bust still. Getting married in an all inclusive hotel in Mauritius and we have to be there 5 days before- so I wont be able to enjoy my food too much! then we are having a party when we get back here and again its gonna be tight cause of all the all inclusive follwing the wedding!
