OPERATION: Skinny B*tch (5/13-8/13)

edited September 27 in Motivation and Support
So I have been looking around for some challenges and whatnot, and can't really find what I'm looking for so I thought I would create a new one. ((The namesake given by an awesome friend who is also working hard at losing some weight))
I need some friendly and encouraging competition to keep me going.

Here's my concept: My birthday is in the middle of July (the 13th!! I have 2 months!!) and I want to look hot for that of course, but I am also doing my first 5k on July 30th, The Dirty Dash-- a 5k with lots of mud and obstacles along the course-- I'm so excited!!

ANYWAY, I figure if we make calories burned, weight loss, and nutrition goals week to week and include a specific challenge for everyone to strive to meet each week it may keep us on track.
With weekly check-ins on Fridays, a winner can be determined by percentages of goals met by the individual? If anyone has a better idea I'm open to suggestions.
Official winner will have bragging rights!! But everyone is a winner in my book for setting goals and striving to meet them! :happy:

If you are interested in joining me, this is what I need:

Screenname:
First Name: (if you want)
Starting weight (current):
Goal weight (for 8/13):
Week 1 goals:
Calories burned:
Weight loss:
Nutrition:



Here is mine! Screenname: mtkautz
First Name: Michelle
Starting weight (current): 162
Goal weight (for 8/13): 130
Week 1 goals:
Calories burned: 6,000
Weight loss: 3 lbs
Nutrition: Stay under 1250 cal consumed for 5 of 7 days

First Week's Specific Challenge: walk, jog, or run AT LEAST 15 miles by 5/20

    edit: Haha, i'm a loser that can't read. I'm totally in though :) I usually weigh-in on Mondays (because of another challenge) so instead of weighing myself on both days, I'll just be posting Mondays number.

    Its quite literally a nice cold glass of water with slices of cucumber in it, haha. You can also add lemon or lime for a tad bit more flavor.
