12 Weeks Till Summer Challenge (Starting 3/17/11)

edited September 24 in Motivation and Support
I know that many of you are doing the Saint Patrick's Day, April Fools Day, and Easter Challenges (I know I'm doing them all :wink: ) but how about a count down till Summer challenge?! School will be ending in a few short weeks (end of May or beginning of June) and I'm sure you'd like to be in shape for the summer. I'm a teacher and our last school day is June 10th (yikes) and I'm hoping to be in the best shape possible in time for summer. So if you are with me, we'll be doing weekly weigh-ins like all the other challenges. Just a way to stay accountable for your diet and exercise habits and get motivation and support along the way. :)

I'm posting the the dates/weeks for Thursday weigh-ins (since many of us were doing the Saint Patrick's challenge). Feel free to copy/paste and add your own mini-goals along the way. Also, if you don't weigh in on that particular day its OK. Just weigh in on your regular day and record it with the closest date. :smile:

YOU CAN JOIN AT ANY TIME!! :bigsmile:

    Count me in! I'm looking forward to have this to focus on. This is a great goal for me. Once I complete this, I hope to do a "last 10 lbs challenge" which will put me into the "healthy" BM"i range :) I'm excited! :)

    I LOVE these challenges, so I'm definitely in!! I've been averaging about 1.3 pound loss per week, so I've based my goals on that rate of loss.

    The easiest way to track this particular thread (assuming you post often enough that it won't necessarily be in your "my topics" from week to week ) is use a built in tool of your internet browser.
