    I'm up for the challenge.
    Should we post before and after pics? (maybe wear more than a bikini in my before pic!)
    What should the start and end dates be?
    Should we have a weekly check in to update on how we're all doing as far as staying on track with eating, exercising and weigh-in?
    Would we vote on a winner or go by percentage of weight lost and inches lost?

    Hey, sounds really great!!

    I have an older pic with the same weight I have now in my bikini.

    This would help me to do more push ups and sit ups :)

Not to much time left until summer....thinking it should end may1st? Thats enough time to drop some pounds and get some great results...maybe we can all negociate on a prize for the winner? Or we can all send the winner something nice?? I am so glad...yest we should check in weekly, but if we need help or support we should start a thread..??

    ok it starts today and ends May 1st. Try not go over the caloric intake you need to lose. Try to fit it some kind of exercise everyday, at least 10 minutes (I mean you want that sexy body you can flaunt right?? Aren't you worth it?!? So ask yourself when you see a cookie or piece of chocolate "What is my history with this food? Will I really be able to eat just one bite?? And ask will this help me get that sexy bikini body I want???) I will try to post some motivational/educational stuff to move us along. Feel free to do so yourself. Also I am going to see if I can get a forum thread for this. If you don't want to post measurements you can post weight and pics. As long as you have a guideline. On may first the winner will be judged and we can send our gifts to him/her. The real reward is going to be that ultra sexy bikini body though!

    Starting weight -131lbs. Height-5'4

    I personally have over 40 pounds to lose. I am definately gong to do everything I can to stay on track with eating healthy and exercising at least 45 minutes 6 days a week. But ding that will not give me a bikini body by May 1st!! I think I don't fit in with this challenge group.
    Good luck and have fun!

    I would totally love to join! it would give me motivation to have other people backing me up, I'm sure....instead of digging into my sister's seemingly endless supply of potato chips, chocolate, candy, and everything else I shouldn't eat.

    Right now, I'm 5'8" and weigh 158. I'm hoping to at least be down to 140 by the time I go to New York on May 1!!

    Does anyone else have late-night cravings? I usually get home from rehearsals around 11:00pm or midnight, and I can't help but eating something before I go to bed! And I always regret it right after. I was good all day today, but I came home and made a baked potato with tons of cheddar cheese on it - ugh! Any suggestions of how to stop this habit or a healthy late-night snack?

    I am working on this myself. I think I might try brushing my teeth when I want to eat. Last night my boyfriend woke me up and I had a bowl of cereal at 12pm. Urgh not the way I wanted to start this challenge. I will do better today!

    Just wanted to let everyone in on a little tip! I am making a goal board. On it I have included pictures,quotes, and tips for my goal. It is fun and I think it can help us. I encourage everyone to start one. Even if its just to keep busy from eating! :happy:

    Of course I will keep up with my diet and exercise and strive towards a bikini body, but nothing short of surgery would make that happen by May. I lose weight at an extremely slow pace, despite cutting calories, eating healthy and exercising a lot. I'll still plan to check in here at the challenge, but not ready to share a bikini photo anytime soon! With my 5' 7.5" 185 lb body, :blushing: that is just not happening:cry: I hope I can lose 12 lbs by then though!!
    Good luck to everyone!:smile:

    I don't know about getting ready for a bikini, but I would just be happy to get to a point where I was comfortable to be seen in a one-piece swimsuit, or even shorts for that matter, by summertime! Usually the only place I dare to go in a bathing suit is to my parent's house to swim in their pool. But I am determined to go to a public beach this summer and wear a nice cute bathing suit and not care what anyone thinks!!!
