in Getting Started
Hi everyone!

I am starting a December Challenge (tomorrow) and I am hoping there are some people that would like to join!

I have about 20lb to lose and want to tone up. I am hoping I can jump start my goal in December.

My goals include:

*Clean eating (no added sugar, no processed food, no caffeine, no fake sugar)
*Working out 6 days a week (I will be checking in daily to say what I ate and did for that day!)
*Taking weight and measurements once a week

Would anyone like to do this with me? I will be blogging about it at fitnessburn.wordpress.com and putting updates up on Instagram (Fitnessburn) and Twitter (Fitnessburn)

Would love to have some buddies to keep myself accountable!

Anyone out there looking for a challenge? What are your goals for this month?

    Cool there are a few of us doing a vlogging challenge.
    My goals have changed due to life. But I want to keep up with eating clean and working out. I hope I lose at least 10 pounds.

    Count me in! My goals are pretty much the same - eat clean (except caffeine - gotta have my morning joe!), exercise 6 days a week and measure weekly. I plan on losing 35 lbs overall and really didn't want to go through the Holidays feeling worse than I already do about my weight.

    I'm in. My goals are to plan my meals for the day ahead of time and stick to them! work out 5 times a week doing at least SOMETHING! I have 25 pounds to lose and I have been pretty much stuck at maintenance because I am not doing what I need to. I decided that Dec 1st (yesterday) I was going to stick to the plan!

    Count me in also. I lost so much weight last year and have put it all back on, plus some. My goals for now are just to eat clean and healthy, work out 5x a week, and drink more water.

    I usually try to go at it alone...usually for fear that my motivation will cease and I will lament others progress. NO LONGER! Time for me to stop being afraid of success. I've already been doing P90x for about a few weeks, so I'm in as well.

    Count me in. Just started yesterday. I have 20 lbs to go and want it all gone by Jan. I am a huge proponent of clean eating. I did a Paleo style challenge for 33 days and it did amazing things to my body without even trying.

    Start stats: 5 foot 9, 201.6 pounds weigh in yesterday. Got on the scale today and down to 200.2.
    Target weight is 180

    Goal: Work out 5x a week (combo of interval cardio, swimming, and weights)

    BTW, looking for friends and encouragement. First time here....

    Losing 20 pounds in a month is definitely not a healthy goal (or probably even possible unless you starve), especially for your current weight and target weight being so close together. If you did lose that much it'd probably be mostly water weight mixed with a little fat and muscle loss. Please shoot for something realistic, like a 4-5 pound loss by January. Your target weight can wait a couple months while you get there safely and in good health.

    Appreciate the info. I do agree. I think I can do 2lbs a week, so more like 8lbs for December. I am guessing that some of this will be water weight as you stated. I am hoping the clean eating will kick things up too.
