edited September 26 in Motivation and Support
Please join me as I challenge myself to slim down before September 1! We will report every Monday on our official weight for the last week. (If your normal weigh in day is Friday, that's the weight that you would report on Monday!) Each week we'll have a new challenge. Some examples would be drinking 8 cups of water of a day for the week, increasing your exercise by 30 minutes for the week, cutting back on sugar/sodium/etc etc etc for the week, and the list could go on. If you have suggestions for the challenge, go ahead and throw 'em out there! We'll definately use them. Here are the report days between now and September 1:

April 25:
May 2:
May 9:
May 16:
May 23:
May 30:
June 6:
June 13:

July 4:
July 11:
July 18:
July 25:
Aug 1:
Aug 8:
Aug 15:
Aug 22:
Aug 29:

My current stats are:
CW: 164 lbs
GW: 160 lbs
I will be taking measurements later this week and adding those into my stats. (Busy week, and not a lot of time to get them done!)

    I usually don't measure myself though :( I like to see my progress with the numbers on the scale...but I'm game for anything else :)

    I will join you! And a suggestion for a challenge...a week without soft drinks. Or cut back to half the usual amount. That actually might kill me...but up for a challenge. :)

  • I would love to! I was given the opportunity to run the NYC marathon in November for a charity that is near and dear to my heart. I would love to drop some weight.

    137 is my current
    110 is my UGW, my mini goals are 135, 129, 125, 119, 114, and 112.lol

    A good challenge would be like a daily circuit (like jumping jacks, hop from side to side, squt and kicks, etc)

    Can I join in? My Bday is in September & I would love to be my healthy weight by then - plus I have not been doing so great the past few weeks & this could be just what I need to get back on track!

    My April 25th weight was 172 lbs. (up some from all the yummy food on Easter!)

    My goal is 160 lbs. & to be in better shape!

    Thank you!!! =0)

    I'm in. I do not know if I'm over doing it. This is the 3rd challenge I signed up for. But I like seeing that its a group effort. Been kind of struggling to get exercising. So this is GREAT. Plus, I too have a wedding in Sept. to get in shape for and this will put me just shay of 13 months from my wedding.
