Summer 2014 Weight loss challenge

SereneRose

Hey ladies!

Summer will be here sooner than we think and I don't know about you but I don't relish the thought of looking back and wishing I made a real commitment to shed the pounds. I remember this challenge which was started by Yana150 last year was a big success and very popular within this group so I'm thinking why not do it again for this year.

Like last year this will be non competitive just a place where we can come together and support one another even if you have no weight loss to report but you may have a NSV or want general chit chat.

The challenge will begin today and end on June 30th 2014.
I officially weigh in Sundays but you can choose which day your comfortable with.

Let's see if we can hit or surpass our goals.
So post below if your interested and include your stats, you can join any time during the challenge dates.

Here are mine

Name: Serene

SW: 259.4
CW: 254.0
GW: 190.0

My NSV's by the end of the challenge are:

1) Go down to a size UK 14

2) Exercise minimum 5x a week & complete a Turbo Fire schedule.

3) Look good in a one piece (toner tum)

Looking forward to doing this with you!

Hey ladies, just wanted to give a quick update

I'm DOWN 1.4 lbs THIS WEEK !

I'm supper excited and feeling encouraged, with nursing, wasn't for sure if I was eating enough, or just doing this thing right, but it seems that I am !!!

I was on the scale daily this week and I was tipping it !!

I finally got on it this morning and got a reading !!! This is after getting 4 hours of sleep in a row, and an extra 2 later !!!!

My body need SLEEP in order to release the weight ... I"m gonna try and sleep when the baby is sleeping more often. I'm happy she is starting to give me a stretch of sleep at night now, I'll take those 4 hours in a row!

Hi ya, everyone,

Hello All;

I just started my weigh loss tools today after my back injections, I have a bad back. The doctor stated the less I weigh, the better I will feel, so now I can at least start walking again.....
1. Not to be in pain.

Wow, I know where you are coming from. Just finished a series of 5 injections. Stopping the pain through weight loss (and not meds)is one of my major goals!

mia_1980

Welcome to the new recruits hope your all feeling great this week.

How far have you come with your weekly mini goals?

I'm still working on mine to begin exercising again so for now I'm concentrating on nutrition testing the water not inputting and seeing how I'm doing, so far not bad.

Have a super day!

Im doing well. I have been working out most of the weight and increasing my water intake

Hello All;

I just started my weigh loss tools today after my back injections, I have a bad back. The doctor stated the less I weigh, the better I will feel, so now I can at least start walking again. Looking forward to getting this winter weigh OFF. So I say all that to say I'm IN.

Stats:

SW: 191
CW: 189
1stGW: 170 (by June 26, 2014 - vacation)
2ndGW: 165 (by August 11, 2014 - spouse family reunion)

Goals:

1. Not to be in pain.
2. Enjoy playing and lifting new grand baby.
3. Eating better and keeping active.

I will say Pilates helped tremendously, helped strengthen my Core and really helped my back, I would try some excercies to strengthen things up as well...

Hello to all, I am in on this challenge. I want to lose 20 more pounds by April 30, 2014. I need to be in this because it is a struggle to lose weight w/o the proper motivation at home. I can say that I do have a friend that is embarking on this journey with me. I have lost weight in this previous year. Over the holiday months I did gain some weight, so now it is time to releas the cracking and get the weight off.

my nsv reward will be to exercise 6days instead of 5

MsDeeDee25

Hello ladies! This is my first check-in. I've decided to weigh myself every Sunday or every other Sunday. I have lost 3 lbs since starting on Jan 1st and have 30 more to go. I'm really watching what I eat and drinking nothing but water and juice. I love grapefruit juice but with it having so many empty calories I've cut back.

My goals for this week are:
Drink a gallon of water everyday.
Make it through 30DS without stopping the DVD.
Eat my last meal before 630pm.

Congrats to the ladies who are sticking with their program & seeing results. Also, congrats to the ladies who have recently joined.

Have an awesome week of working out!

I started this week at 190, I'm apart of a 90 day challenge so I'm down 6 pounds this week! You can add me as a friend, though I don't log exercise, everything is already added to my calorie allotment. But 3 days a week I do the c210k app sponsored by Zen Labs. It's on android and apple. And the other 3 days I am doing two levels of 30 day shred consecutively (level 1 and 2 for 15 days and then 2 and 3 for 15) and I'm doing a 12 week strength training program that starts 3x a week. Then it ups to 4x.

NSG:

Get into a size 8
get into a bikini by July 1st or sooner
Have more confidence!

TooTatToTrot

Also i start insanity after 30 day shred!

Hello ladies,

Apologies for my absence I got whisked away on a surprise holiday to Amsterdam and only now returned, fun but bad for the diet.
Looking over all your amazing efforts, I'm well chuffed, you ladies have done yourself proud.

For added fun I'm thinking of including weekly exercises to give us a push say a set number of an exercise to perform, it won't be compulsory so don't worry and on our weekly weigh in we include how much we've done.
Anyone be interested in this?

To get us started this week's goal is 100 jumping jacks per day.
Remember if you have an issue with your knees to land softly.

Happy Monday! :flowerforyou:
