Ladies we have 10 weeks and 2 days left in 2013. We all know that the holiday season can be very tempting so let's get started on a challenge now so that we can stay focused. If you have a certain amount of weight you would like to lose by then, post your sw and your current weight along with your goal weight each week. You can also post your weekly goals, your plans, what's working for you, whatever you want every week, to keep us all engaged in this process. It's going to be FUN!! Each week we will have a weekly challenge that I will post below. Let us know how the challenge is working for you. A challenge is just what it states, a challenge. If it was supposed to be easy, there would be no point in doing it. What matters is that you attempted the challenge!



Week 1: Walk/Run/or Jog 20 miles

Week 2: Drink your weight in water at least 64 ounces of water with lemon in each cup!

Week 3: 500 jump ropes and 100 bicycle crunches everyday this week

Week 4: No bread or pasta at all this week, (no whole grain, week, breadie treats, nada zero zilch)

Week 5: Do at least a 30 minute cardio session every day this week.

Week 6: Track everything you eat and drink this week!! Every morsel, MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE

Week 7: Squat it like it's hot!!! 200 squats this week with at least 20 lbs of weight. If you don't have weights, fill up a grocery bag with can goods or something, NO EXCUSES!!!

Week 8: Up your protein!! Have protein in every meal this week, even your snacks!! Remember, meat isn't the only source of protein!

Week 9: This is the week of CHRISTMAS!!! This shouldn't be hard, Walk/jog or run 30 miles this week. If you have a pedometer or a tracker, every step counts while shopping!!!

Week 10: Make up your own weekly challenge and let us all know! I am challenging you to post what all you have learn about yourself, accomplished or feel you need to work harder on based on 2013 and tell us what our plan is moving forward into 2014!!


PLEASE JOIN ME SISTAS!!!!

    I am in!!! This is just what I need to get back on track. I will work on my list of goals today.
  • I joined today and I want to lose at least 15 lbs. by December 31st. I had foot surgery last Tuesday and I have a cast on my foot which is supposed to be removed on Monday, 10/28/13. I have been on the Plexus Slim products for the last 9 weeks and I have already lost 17 lbs. but I want to learn how to eat better that is my biggest problem. It is a whole lot easier to do this when you have a support team. So I joined today for the support and to help support someone else.:flowerforyou:

    Just started on my challenge this morning with 1.5 miles on my treadmill. I should be able to get in atleast 8 miles today if I walk during my lunch hour. I have been doing TurboFire everyday this week as well.
  • Hi hun! Welcome to the challenge. That is awesome weight loss. Sorry to hear about your foot injury. I look forward to losing this weight alongside of you! Have a blessed day. (Oh yea, follow me! I will add you now).
  • Woot Woot! I am going to try to get five miles in today. I joined the challenge a day late, so I will be behind the group, but I will make sure I get the 20 miles in no matter what! I am also doing Zumba2 daily on my Wii system...so I am really loving the burn. Happy Thursday. Good luck on your walk. We can do it! Be blessed.
  • I know the pain! I have not walked like that in a while, its different from when I do Zumba...I was tired. lol. But I will walk some more today! Lets get get get it!

    How long have you been doing Zumba? I'm supposed to start a class for the 1st time on Nov. 6th. Also, do you do both claases and the Wii or just the Wii?
