K - so we're half a month into the summer challenge - but there is still time to join us and to ROCK the challenge.

We have two goals for over the summer - one is to lose weight and one is to move.

The personal goal will be however much you want to weigh on August 31st. That's a Sunday when our group does our weigh ins. If you weigh in on a different day, pick the date closest to the 31st.

Our group goal will be to move 55 km. A mini goal is 4 km / week. Plus an extra 3 km since I added that amount on for the Alzheimers Walk that our group took part in.

Again - the focus is on movement . . . So I don't care HOW you move, as long as you move.

Have a great summer!

    Ok! I'm joining in, in conjunction with my around the world challenge. My goal is to be 175 lbs by the 31st of August. Good luck, all! :)

    Two weeks in....

    1) GET UP AND MOVE GOAL - 55 km

    I've already hit this goal! Since June 1st my "extra" activity (not counting every day regular activity), my total is:
    116.59 km


    2) WEIGHT LOSS GOAL - 151 lb
    Um, yeah... not on track here. Below is where I'm at - compare to the weekly targets I've set:

    Summer (Jun1 - Aug31) targets:
    START, JUN 1: 159.0
    Week 1: 157.5 ... actual = 159.0
    Week 2: 156.5 ... actual = 160.0
    Week 3: 155.5
    Week 4: 155.5 (maintain)
    Week 5: 154.5
    Week 6: 154.0
    Week 7: 153.5
    Week 8: 153.0
    Week 9: 153.0 (maintain)
    Week 10: 152.5
    Week 11: 152.0
    Week 12: 151.5
    END, AUG 31: 151.0

    And the challenge gets harder . . . .!

    After speaking with a few of the members who are updating me on their progress, we feel that 50 km is too easy for the summer challenge. We've upped it to 100 km.

    For progress sake - I have currently moved 50 km so I have another 50 to go. My goal weight is 133.5. I'm currently at 135.4. So - I'm doing well and can most likely make that goal. My struggle is to KEEP the weight off so I'll decide mid July if I want to change my goal weight for the end of the summer.

    I hope that everyone taking part is enjoying the AWESOME summer weather to get out and move - and hopefully you've lost some weight to celebrate as well :D
