Hey My Fitness Pals!!! So I know that there are alot of new challenges starting and I LOVE joining them but I must say b/c so many ppl join them it's hard to be personal and to stay motivated....So I'm starting my own Challenge!!! I thought I'd call it "FAT 2 FAB!". Here are the details;
1) Weigh in once a week
2) Fun weekly goals
3) Starts Jan 1st...Ends April 1st (90 days)
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT;
4) The first 5 ppl to reply are in!!!
I want to keep this challenge small (6 ppl total) so it can be personal and motivation will stay high! So if you are committed to 90 days of GREAT weightloss but don't like joining these challenges with TONS of ppl then be one of the FIRST 5 to join!!!!!!!

Okay guys congrats on joining the BEST challenge EVER!!! Here is your first assignment....Since there is only 7 of us (we added one more) we should get to know each other so send a reply stating the following:
1. Name you want to be known as
2. Starting weight for challenge
3. Goal weight at end of 90 days
4. Something about yourself! ( it can be a strength, a weakness, or something cool about you!!!)
Also we need to figure out what day we should weigh in? Please pick from the following: Monday, Wednesday, or Friday?
Here's mine!!!
1. Taylor
2. 235
3. 210
4. I LOVE working out BUT I also enjoy sweets!!! I played basketball in college and would love to get that body back! Oh and I'm left handed :happy:0 -

4. My weakness is chocolate and sugar, haven't had any for over a month! I'm a pretty new vegetarian, hate working out at night, but have a hard time waking up in the morning.
I think a weigh in on Wednesday or Friday0 -
1. Ya'll can call me Tanya.
2. 244
3. 220
4. Not much to tell about myself really. I'm just a mother of 3, trying for a 4th. Oh, I was born with 12 fingers. LOL I'm trying to overcome my hatred for working out. Maybe ya'll can help me.
Doesn't really matter to me what day to weigh in on. But, if I had to choose, then I guess Monday makes sense to me. Start off the week.0 -

4. Well I love listening to music, hate working out but I think the more weight I lose the more energy I have so the more I feel like going. Never done one of these challenges before so I am really excited about it!!!

Awesome now that we know more about each other (other than ltfitz) here is your challenge for week ONE!!!
1. Get in 30 minutes of cardio 5 out of the 7 days this week! You can still do whatever exercise you normally do just add 30 minutes of some type of cardio!
2. Drink 8oz of water 7 out of 7 days this week
We're startin out easy for week one
Feel free to check in everyday if you need to but no worries if you don't! There is an even number of votes for each of the weigh in days so I will record weights every MONDAY. If this isn't your normal weigh in day OR you don't want to weigh in on Mondays you can weigh in any day you want, just don't tell me until Monday I will record all weights and post a spreadsheet each week of all the weight we are losing :drinker: Any questions, comments, or concerns plz ask! Also plz make sure you are friends with the other 6 members! If you ever need motiviation or advice feel free to message any of us! We are here to help eachother!!! Okay Happy New Years and let's kick some butt for the next 90 days!!! Good luck! Much love-Taylor 0 -
Sounds great! Can't wait until Monday so I can get started on my 30min of cardio. I think I am going to be really glad I joined this challenge. I think the spread sheet is an awesome idea .... definately motivates me to lose weight and try hard so I dont have to share with everyone that for a week my weight didn't change. Are we going to be making new goals on Fridays since we started on a Friday? Seems like a fitting time to do it since it would give us the weekend to figure out how to work the new goal in to our week. Once again I am glad I joined and its nice to meet everybody. :happy:0

Haha ok sorry guys major typo!!!! I meant to say 8 glasses of 8oz of water! That's a total of 64oz! Sorry about that! Have a fantastic day!!!0

Hey my FAT 2 FAB friends!!! Just checkin in to see how everyone is doing??? Are you keeping up with your food journal? I read an article that said 100% of ppl that use a food journal lost more weight than ppl who didn't! It helps to see what exactly you are eating! Also how is your 30 min of cardio and water intake goin? I was surprised at how bad I am at drinking water!!! I had to force that last 8oz down my throat! haha.
I also wanted to let you guys know that we will NOT be weighing in tomorrow (monday) due to the fact that it will only be our 3rd day of the challenge! So you have an extra 3 days this week to burn some extra calories!!! Hope all is well and hope everyone is having fun! Talk to you soon!!!!

I am doing good and keeping up with my food journal. I did 45 mins of Turbo Jam today not doing to good with the water so what day are we gonna weigh on0
-
Been doing good with my journal and also with the cardio. I am with you on the water intake ..... OMG its a lot of water .... I have had 34 oz of water today and I think I will have to force down the last 30 oz :sick: LOL but I know I can do it!!! So are we weighing not this Monday but next Monday??0
-
I just shoveled 4+ inches of snow yesterday and was so sore today, so today was a rest day. I too had to force my last bit of water- but made it! I've also been tracking my food diary, I agree that it helps out so much.
I look forward to the weigh in next week!!0 -
I thought we were startiing tomorrow (monday) so that is when I'm clocking in for sure. I already know water is going to be an issue for me. I am seriously part camel. I can drink 3glasses of water a day and be good. :indifferent:0
-
There has been some questions on when we are weighing in.... We are weighing in every Monday. The reason I'm not counting tomorrow as our first weigh in is because we have only been doing the challenge for 3 days and I wasn't sure if anyone would have any weight loss BUT if you weigh in tomorrow and have lost something tell us about it and let us celebrate with you!!! If you do tell us I will go ahead and start doing the spreadsheet. So it is up to you if you want to weigh in tomorrow but we will DEFF do weigh ins next Monday Jan 10 Proud of you guys! Thanks for being such great motivation! Taylor 0

I already know the water will be an issue with me. I don't drink much of anything during the day. I know, I know, not good. I can't find a way to get my water in. I've literally tried every drink mix out there to put into it and I don't like any of them. This is gonna be tough. Also, my workouts are non existent at the moment. With my kids out of school, I can't go to my usual church gym to work out and I don't have a way to workout at home. They start back to school on Thursday so hopefully I can't get going back to class. I know I should go and need to go, but I honestly hate it soooo much. At on top of that, my friend that was going to class with me, is moving back to Michigan soon (I'm in Tennessee). That's gonna make it harder too. I can list a million reasons every day to not go to class. This is the hardest part for me.0

The good news is I weighed in this morning (I forgot that we weren't starting but oh well!) and I lost 0.8lbs! Not a ton yet I was happy because last week I was not very consistent with anything. Still inching out of holiday mode :P Bad news is I made no where near my water goal. Ah!0

Awesome job Sam!!!! Don't stress about you water! It will get easier the more you do it! Keep it up!0
