Hey You 30' Something - Swimsuit Challenge

edited September 29 in Motivation and Support
This challenge is for all you 30' Something people and it's starting on July 1st.

We're all looking for ways to get healthier, but let's be honest, we really all want to look good. And since it's swimsuit season, we're going to put our vanity on the line in this challenge. Here's how it works...once you sign up, you'll be assigned to one of two teams (captained by tamiesue2 and myself). Your goal is burn 3,500 calories each week. If you make your goal, you will earn 3 points for your team. BUT, if you don't make your goal, you will lose 3 points for your team. Results for the previous week will be submitted to your team captain on Sundays (the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th & 31st). Since the first week is short, you only need to make 1,500 calories. Each week after that is 3,500.

As of July 31st, the team with the most total points wins. Here's the catch....each member of the losing team must post an updated picture of themselves in a swimsuit after the contest.

This is going to be a great challenge. I will assign teams based on acceptance of the challenge on this thread (back and forth between captains).

Good Luck!!

    awwww....I would love to join...but I CAN'T!!! I started a challenge to do the 30 Day Shred starting June 29th....and even with my plans of doing that 6 days/week, walking 30,000 steps during my work week, and my day of yoga, I still wouldn't hit the weekly goal on here!!! Plus my main profile pic is of me in my swimsuit already :) Good luck to you guys though...I will be rootin for ya!!

    3500 is going to be tough but thats the point! Sometimes we need that extra UMPHH to get us going. Come on you 30' somethings lets show them what we are made of!!

    I started out good exercising 3-4 times a week and now got seriously lazy. The heat doesn't help me get out and run or do anything else. But, I would do anything not to show a pic of me in a swimsuit. ;)

    I am ususally super shy but thats has gotten me where I am so I guess stepping it up would be for the best. I love the positive and negative incentives!! I know if I have a team to look out for I will do my part so... I 'm in!
