Get fit by Spring - Lets do this!!

Do you have any major events happening in the Spring you want to get fit for, or maybe just want to get fit before summer begins? My birthday is April 20, and I'm graduating college end of May, so I have work to do!. This WILL be the year I finally meet my weight goal so I can look good for the pics and have even more to be proud of!

I started 30DS today, and plan to move to Ripped in 30 after. I would love for more people to join me in getting fit for Spring/Summer.

  • I was already in! In february begins my school. I will meet a lot of new people and want to show up as a new me. That's a extra motivation. But I'm doing this for myself to learn about being healthy and live a different lifestyle.

    My birthday is April 22nd! Turning 28, which means I will officially be closer to 30 than 25! :( My 10 year high school reunion is also sometime next year, so I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be in awesome shape. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go or not, but I don't want to not go because of how I look! I need these next 2 years to be awesome so 30 doesn't seem so bad, and being fit would go a long way! :D

    I started Chalean Extreme today and walking at least 10,000 steps a day.

    I am so in! I am 39 mother of three, two in college and lots of weight to lose. I was diagnosed with Diabetes and would like to reverse that with diet, weight loss and exercise I can live with. I walk 4-10 miles every day, I do yoga and have a Gazelle. I will run again in the spring but right now the weather is terrible in Northern Michigan. I hope that by my 14th wedding anniversary on March 10, 2014 I will have lost a total of 50 more pounds. I am currently doing the lose 20 by Christmas and am only a half pound away! I am super competitive and love a challenge. I would like to be at my ultimate goal weight by Cherry Festival so I can run in the race they have.
    The weekly weigh in posts are helpful for me and knowing that there is support out there.
    Here are my starting stats

    Height .................5'6.5"
    Starting weight 10-18-2013......251
    Current weight. 12-12-13..........215.5
    Goal weight for Anniversary......165
    Ultimate goal weight...................135

    Starting Jan 1st we'll be weighing on through a spreadsheet! Just because it starts January 1st doesn't mean your off the hook till then, every day counts towards those goals!

    Join us! Still need more 30DS buddies. I'm on day 12 now, but plan on doing it for a total of 60 days.

    you can do this!! The first 4-5 days of 30DS are the worst as you feel like you're going to die from the soreness. But trust me if you make it past the 5 day mark the pain goes away, and you will be in awe what you can accomplish!

    I too have a mini goal for then, I would really like to weigh 201, if I do I will have lost 50 pounds total so far since October 18.
    I currently weigh 213 so I think I can get close in those 12 days. We shall see....good luck with your goal.

    happy birthday! You don't look 40, I'd say late 20's early 30's! That's definitely a good thing!
  • Happy Birthday! 40 is awesome. I am 44 and life just keeps getting better. Thank you for the friend request/add. I have to laugh because we are almost the same exact size (height and weight) with the same reasons we want to lose weight (augh the muffin top/bikini challenge). Where it seems you love sugar, I am a salt-aholic, always reaching for a savory snack. Doesn't matter, we can *all* do this! :)

    Happy Birthday. I know it is a difficult age, I am trying to hang on to the last of the months of being 39. Lol

    it is on the group forums, there's a topic called "spreadsheet" and a link inside which leads to a google doc!
