Hey You 30' Something - Swimsuit Challenge

Posts: 84
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!!

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.0 -
