Personal 14 week Goal: 12 lb by Christmas (my goal that I'd be satisfied with and all else will be bonus)

I have been dared to wear a short skirt at work for New Years Eve, by my friend and work mate. ( a DJ)
I work in a nightclub doing lighting and NEVER wear skirts!!!
He has also dared me to wear heels and be girly for the night, We're working together for NYE!!!

I've said I'll do it but he has to wear a tux!!
I suggested such as in Dumb and Dumber ( the fabulous orange and blue ones!! ) but a plain one will be fine too!! lol

This means I've got to get my legs in good shape for wearing a skirt for the first time in 13 years!!!
I don't want everyone to say '' I see why you don't wear skirts Mel''
I want them to say ''Wow you should wear skirts more often'' and then maybe I would !!!
I need to build calf muscle and tone ankles and thighs - any tips would be greatly received!!!

Ok Here's me...

Location: Epping, Essex, UK
I like: My son - 5yrs. Music. Films. Fun people. Long walks
I don't like: Miserable people and negativity. I try to always find a positive in any situation.
Current typical or usual exercise: Shred DVD, Walking, Dance DVD's, Yoga and fitness DVD's and Weights at home.
Current Starting Weight: 7 Stone 9lbs
Aim for next week: 7 Stone 8lbs
Personal 14 week Goal: Survive my 12 day holiday without gaining too much weight and losing track of exercising everyday.
Once home from holiday - 9th October, start running and get used to running daily, I guess this is the best way to get my legs in the best possible shape quickly, My main aim is to be proud of my legs for Christmas so I'll WANT to wear a skirt!!

I'm probably going to follow the C25K plan when I'm back from holiday, anyone who fancies joining me with that I'd love to hear from you as I love to do things with people here at MFP, keeps me motivated and less likely to want to quit.

I would like to wish Christine and Mimi and Everyone the very best of luck with your challenges. :drinker:
