30 day challenge. Anyone up for an overhaul by Christmas?

My husband is coming home 4 months early from deployment... He doesn't care what I look like, or whats going on. lol This is a personal goal.

Do as much as I can, follow the cleanest diet I can, work out the hardest I can... and be at my personal best 30 days from now. I know this goes against all rules... "this isn't a race" I get that. But sometimes, being under pressure helps!

Some people are in my shoes, or some people just feel ready to move past Thanksgiving, Or wanna look better by Christmas....

Whatever your case, You're welcome to join...

Only requirement is to be better in some way ... than you were 30 days before....
Anyone with me??? I'd love the friendly competition and we can all do this! :)

  • I would love to do this with you. I need a serious over haul because I actually want to join the service. As of right now the decision is between the ARMY and NAVY but either way I want active duty deployment. I know if I can lose this weight I can make it through basic. I'm doing this for myself, my family and my country and I want to be a success. It would really make a difference if I had someone who was like "hey how are you doing?" "Did you work out today.." ect. My overall goal is February.

    I'm in - in my own little way. I need to lose a lot of weight, but if I could keep my sugar intake at the 30 grams/day or less and lose 2 pounds I'd feel like I've succeeded! I'm doing this not just for me but so I can get pregnant & have a healthy baby! :)
  • I'm in! :)

    I'm totally in as well!
  • I'm in! I'm visiting my fiances family for the first christmas ever, and so it would be nice to look a little nicer when I meet a lot of them for the first time. I of course know the parents and siblings fairly well, but not so much the extended family. I'm not trying to put too much pressure on myself, but I would love the challenge!

    I'm with you on the sugar! That's my biggest struggle. It seems to me like almost everything has sugar!

    A little competition never hurt anybody. I'm already having my Facebook friends post for miles. There's no reason I can't do this, too.

    This is a great idea! Thank you to your husband for his service to our country, too.

    Are you forming a group, or will we just report here on the forums? I have found that groups are easier to keep track of, at least for me. I have stalled out on my loss this month due to 2 birthdays, my 24th wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving, and just plain too much eating in general. I'm only back up 4 lbs, but am ready to get back on track! I want to see another 6lbs gone by Christmas.
  • I love this!!!

    I am soooo close to my first goal (to not be 'obese') I need to loose 3 more Kg's (6.6lbs) to have my BMI at a place where i am just overweight!!!

    I am determined to do this by Christmas, then I think I really could enjoy the day and indulge a little on chirstmas day

    Sounds like a great idea! I started 30 day shred today, hopefully this gives me some accountability to actually do the DVD every day!!
    And I'm also trying to reduce my sugar intake at the moment - I just found out that I'm fructose intolerant, so no more sugary snacks for me!
    Feel free to add me, always happy to have new friends :)
  • I'm so in. I've been going through a lot lately, and my body's been hurting for it. I'm starting the 30 Day Shred today, and I want to get everything back on track by Christmastime.

    Feel free to add me as a friend!
  • I am in. How shall we do it log our weights then log daily or after the 30 days. Me I need maybe a 15 day marker.
    And how shall we support post on here from now.

    I am starting at 179lbs - the challenge is on fab idea

    I want to join to! I have been slacking big time since returning from vacation and I will be heading home in March and want to look like a new woman. Many of my coworkers I haven't seen for 3 years since I first deployed... ready for a healthy future!
