Three Month Challenge- Who's With Me!?

aablacknell

I am so in and excited about this challenge. I will forward my info this evening when I get home. I was doing very well with my weight loss until I was in a car accident a couple of months ago that resulted in a knee injury. I am all about cardio and was not able to do any cardio which helps relieve me of stress. All I can say is my need for comfort food has taken over and I am back on the road to weight loss again!!!!

Thanks for this challenge!!!!

Hey everyone! I am finding myself in serious need of motivation and accountability, so I thought I'd start a challenge group! All are welcome!
As summer comes to a close and fall begins, I am serious about getting healthy, stronger, and dropping the pounds that have crept up on me! This is the only body that I've got, and I want to take care of it! So, just reply to this thread if you want to join!

Some guideines:
-Weigh-ins will be on Mondays. I've found that this helps me, because I eat more carefully on the weekends, knowing I have to
weigh-in Monday am!
-Goals: set any goals you'd like! Whether it's to lose 1 pound a week, survive 30 Day Shred or to just get tone.
-This challenge will start today, and go through November 14. That way, when everyone sees you during the holidays, they can
see how fabulous you look! ; )

So, post your info as soon as possible, and I will start a spreadsheet highlighting everyone's goals and accomplishments! Oh, and be sure to add me as a friend! Check back here on this forum, this is where we'll post!
Can't wait to get started!!!
