Summer Weight Loss Challenge

Anyone interested in joining a Summer Weight Loss Challenge? It seems like this would be a great time to start a challenge to get our bodies bikini, swim suit, sun dress and shorty-shorts ready by June 21, the first day of summer. A nice challenge will also help us to keep our momentum going as we trudge along in these dark and dreary winter days with the warmth of the sofa and hot chocolate beckoning...okay, maybe I'm reflecting there. 
The challenge would be pretty casual, and non-competitive. There won't be any prizes except for the way you will feel once you complete it, which is honestly the best prize anyone could receive. Check-ins should be at least weekly. If you have no weight loss to report, then we'd love to hear about a new workout you've tried, or even if you're having some trouble and you'd just like some support. We (assuming others will join) are all in this together, and ready to help each other.
If you are interested, please post your starting, current, and goal weight by the end of the challenge, along with three non-scale victories you would like to experience before the end of the challenge.
I'll go first:
SW: 287.0
CW: 287.0
GW: 225.0
Non-scale victories I would like to experience before June 21, 2013
1. Get up daily at 5:00 AM
2. Workout 5 days a week
3. Try a new workout once a week
That's it! See, it's easy. C'mon, you know you want to join.

Hi there, SereneRose, Kmiche82 and jmcreynolds91! Thanks for joining ladies, I'm so happy that you joined the summer challenge! I think we're all in for an awesome summer! I'm so excited!
It looks like we all have the same goal to workout 5-6 times per week, which is great! I don't know about you ladies, but I NEED the accountability buddies! Which workouts are you all currently doing?
Feel free to start posting right away! :bigsmile:0 -
"Lean on me when your not strong and i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry on" :laugh:
Which day of the week is the official weigh in day?
I'm currently doing the 12 week Turbofire/CLX Hybrid and after that i've no idea but will be fun finding out.
Let's do this ladies!0 -
See, Serene! Don't go offering your shoulder to be leaned on, because I will take you up on that offer.
I suppose people can weigh-in on their regular days, just let us know when you will be doing it. I weigh in every Sunday at 10:00 AM.
At the end of the challenge, I think that with Friday, June 21, 2013 being the final weigh-in, perhaps that is the only day we all have to weigh in on the same day. Do you think that will work?
Right now I am doing Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVDs and Slim in Six. I will likely change my workout in six weeks, but I don't have any ideas about my next step.0 -
Hey, I just joined the group and thought I'd jump in with both feet!

Welcome to our newest challengers, em_c_r , and Dstdiva01!
I'm glad you decided to jump right in, EM! MFP can be a little intimidating at times, but I think that you'll find the groups a pretty welcome place!
Miss Dstdiva, if you keep up with your strength training, you are going to look awesome for your cruise!
Feel free to post your weigh-in day of the week, or if you weigh-in bi-weekly, that's fine too.
Good luck, and feel free to post here as often as you like. 0 -
This will be fun! I am also going on a cruise in July for my 25th and I want to look great and be healthy. Feel free to add me as a friend!
