    January 2013--we will start the SMOKIN' Hot Summer Body Challenge!:smokin:

    And on July 4th--we will share on July 4th--share how many days in 6 months we ellipticalized! Yes-I made up that word!
    And then we will share beginning and ending weight --and hopefully January(before) pics :huh: and July(after) pics :love:

    Please put your name down and let's friend each other in solidarity! We can do this!

    (Gulp) Filed a "Before" picture taken Christmas Eve, 2012. It will probably STAY filed until I also have an "After" picture taken in end of June / start of July.

    Anyone else have their "Before" picture filed away (don't feel any pressure to actually SHOW it)

    Just set myself a new Personal Best (increased distance over the same ammount of time, while keeping HR at the same target level - which is how I pace myself) ....

    And the Official Challenge hasn't even started yet!



    Congrats on the personal best~:bigsmile:



    Will the Official Challenge have it's own thread (or group) once it starts up; or will everything be off this one?

    There will be two new threads!

    THE OFFICIAL CHALLENGE THREAD where---we post our start weight and before pics....and add
    personal goals.


    And additionally--there's a monthly mini-challenge for each month of the challenge--it will simply say
    JANUARY HOT SUMMER BODY ELLIPTICAL CHALLENGE-and each month---we will check in ---and post weight
    and other commnets

    Monthly Challenge suggestions welcome :wink:

    So be sure to check out both!:laugh:

    I'm in....I wanted to get back to cardio on the elliptical anyway so this is a great way to do it. I am also currently doing INSANITY in the morning (I just started Mon. 12/31). I think elliptical in the afternoon would be good.

    Thanks for the idea!!!

    Glad you are joining us! :smile:

    Please know that there's zero pressure---PERIOD----in this challenge. That's no fun!
    The challenge before--- was adapted so everyone could join--drop out --continue--- at their level of readiness without judgement and still have success no matter what. That includes pictures--the pictures-police are not welcome :grumble:

    That said---I don't want to discourage anyone from putting up pictures! It does not have to be full body or anything
    remotely like that--- It might be nice to upload a pic--you feel absolutely comfortable posting as your "before."
    So we can get to know each other as we cheer each other on!
    Certainly do not force yourself to post a picture or a candid shot-that you prefer to keep private--:noway:
