Hi all. I need some extra motivation, and would love to help others get motivated. I'd like to set some challenges for myself in the next 6 weeks, and wondered if anyone else would be on board with this. For me it's a 12 lb loss, being able to increase my weight training, and add some more cardio. Also to eat a bit better, since I took the carb train lately and haven't been able to get off.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Awesome Can I call the group The Fall Challenge Group? I'll post on the General forum (this one) and we can start tomorrow?
I'm new at this, but perhaps intro's to start? And then we can post what we did for exercise that day/ what we found challenging as far as eating, and what we're changing to get to our goal...?
I'll start.
HI I'm Allie. I've lost around 50 lbs over the past year or so and would like to lose another 20 lbs or so. I've been teaching Zumba for a year and a half, and teach about 6-10 hours a week. I'd like to add some more weight training and perhaps change my cardio. Add some stairs to my regimen and even treadmill (both of which I dislike, but whatever it takes.....) Can't wait to hear back from everyone ! 0 -
I wanna be in!!!
Hi Dolls!!
My name is Brittany. I'm 20 years old, I'll be 21 October 4th!
I've lost 53 lbs so far and I only have 10 to go until I'm at my goal weight which is 140. If I'm not happy there I'd like to get to 135.
I'd really like to do more than just the elliptical or treadmill. Maybe some workout dvd's? && maybe some weights!!
I'm very excited to be here
edited: I would also like to get in at least 9 glasses of water a day!!! I've been slacking with that!!!!!0 -
Here's my schedule for tomorrow.
Teaching 1 hour of zumba,
then 10 minutes on the stairmaster (100 calories burned. I hate it, but it really works my legs)
then 10 minutes on the treadmill, level 3 at incline 10 (blasting music all the way)
then working on my abs for 10 minutes, ball lifts with my legs, then leg lifts
another 10 minutes on the universal machine, just working my arms and back.
I'd really like to cut down on my starch intake. I'm going to attempt to make most of my carbs good ones. That's the hard part for me

Count me in for the challenge too! This sounds like a great idea!
Hi loveys,
My name is Annalee and I am also 20 years old. My 21st birthday is right around the corner (Sept. 19), so I am stepping it up turbo style so I can look great and actually have a piece of my own birthday cake without toooo much guilt.
So far I have lost 18 lbs and have 12 to go to reach my goal weight. I would LOVE to get there with you ladies through this 6 week challenge!
For exercise I do a lot of jogging with my puppy and other various things. I do some workout DVDs and take some assorted classes, yoga mostly.
@Brittany_Kayy you said you would maybe like to do some more workout videos? I have the 30- Day Shred by Jillian Michaels ($8 @ Walmart) and it has GREAT reviews. We should try it on this challenge. Keeping motivated is always the key, and I bet we could help each other out. Let me know!
Yay! Can't wait to get started . 0 -
Hi!!
My name is Dora and I have lost 18 lbs so far.
I have started doing the Zumba workout and love it.
I have a problem with sweets and try not to eat them.
My goal weight is 145 and I'm at 196 now. I have been taking in a little more calories because for two weeks the scale didn't move. I would love to be a part of this so then I will be held accountable. This really helps me alot.
Let's Do It!!!!!0 -

I'm up and would love to drop 10 in 6 weeks. I'm starting to see a nutrionists and she is making a few changes to my diet to follow. So far no fruit or starches at night.
Also she wants me to increase my weight lifting - Any advice on a good program.0 -
I will join in. I have been on this lifestyle change for about 6 months now and lost 50 lbs. I have started having trouble losing anymore and have actually been going up and down 2-3 lbs lately. I am starting to get really depressed about this. I need some extra stuff like challenges like this to bust me through this plateau. Please help!!!! I have made it this far so I can keep going, right?! I know weight is getting harder to come off but I would LOVE to lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks. I am at about 238 right now and just getting in the 220's would ticke me LOL. Feel free to add me if yall want. I dont have very many friends on my page yet!!! Good luck everyone 0

I've never tried a challenge before. I recently joined a health club and have a routine I am happy with. I feel like I actually found a program and plan I can work with.

I would love to join.
I lost about 15lb earlier in the year and have gained most of it back so I'm looking to challenge myself.
You could think about incorporating the 100 Pushup / 200 situp / 200 squats programs into your challenge since each program is supposed to take about 6 weeks.0 -
I'm in.....
I have to say I'm so happy i found this program(on my ipod)....
Keeps my on track pretty much all the time with my calorie intake....
I'm looking to lose 10to15lbs by December.So that leaves me with 1200to 1400 cal intake and trying to workout at least 3-4 times a week... so far so good. Mind you the long weekend killed me!
I will be doing a step Aerobics tonight!(ouch)

Hello, my name is Rianna and I would like to lose about 25 more pounds, lost 12 over the past few months but really want to be at 125 before Christmas!! I am also training for my first half marathon so I am running 3 to 4 days a week. I need to add some more cardio and weight training in my mix and am changing gyms so I can do zumba in the mornings once a week.
I will have to weigh myself tomorrow, I was 149 last Tuesday, but have a feeling I put on a couple over the holiday weekend 0 -

I think it just started when this thread was started.
I've recently gained a few pounds because I was on vacation, but I'll lose it again.
I'm down 51 lbs total, I will lose another 45. I am hoping to be down 20 by Christmas. The weekends kill me. I'm pretty good during the week, but weekends are hard.0 -
I'd like to join this challenge!
my goals are:
1. no binge eating (it has turned into a weekly thing, so going 6 weeks will be amazing!!!)
2. no sugar
3. either a) run a 25 min 5k or b) work my way back up to a 10 mile run without stopping0 -
I would love to join--I'm relatively new to the site. I've lost 6lbs in about 2 weeks but have almost 60 more to go. We're going on a cruise in March so anything that will keep me motivated would be great. Especially with exercise...I'm doing pretty good with calories but the exercise is severely lacking.0
-
i'm so on board for this challenge. I need 30 lbs off total. looking forward to working towards a common goal with all of you!0
