Hey all,

I'm looking for motivated challengers to join me on a 4 week challenge that begins today.

The plan is to bootcamp our butts for the next 4 weeks. Stay within your calorie range and workout 6 days a week! This challenge will run to August 12th (Friday). That Friday will be our final weigh in!

Rules:
Track what you eat everyday - every bite!
Workout 6 days a week (whatever you like - I'm doing Turbofire!)
Check in for accountability
Create a goal and a non-food reward for reaching it in the 4 weeks.

I want everyone to be able to tailor this to what will challenge them, so that is all! I could say we will start tommorow or Monday or some other day in the future, but why not start right now?! It's only 4 weeks! You can make this week for 4 weeks. I have plans out of town and all sorts of "barriers" but you can still track calories when you're out of town and you can always go for a walk if there is no other feasible workout, so come on, let's do this!

My goal is to lose 10 pounds.

Who is with me?!

    I'm with you :smile:
    I'm doing c25k at the moment, but for the next 4 weeks I'm going to push myself and do at least 45 minutes of exercise on the days I'm not running.
    Thanks for the challenge!
    I would love to lose 10lbs too, I'm in a mini plateau at the moment so hopefully this is the kick start I need!

    so I'm going for: c25k - 3/pw
    zumba - 45mins 3/pw
    strength and toning - minimium 15 minutes every day

    Ive done my c25k this morning so I'm starting today :smile: like you said, no better time!
    Good luck with your journey too, I'll check in every week or so to see how everyone is doing!

    I forgot to add my reward...losing 10lbs will be a reward enough for me! haha erm I think I will buy myself a dress if Im a size 10, if not I'll get some new pretty working out clothes :)

    I'm in.

    I'd like to lose 7lbs by the 12th August ... do you need my weight today? it's 10pm here, so I'll weigh in in the morning if that's OK.

    And I'll have a think about a non food reward, I just had my birthday this week, so there's not much I feel like I need ...

    I'm in!! Would love to lose 7lbs over the next four weeks (and then another 7 the following four weeks) which would put me at goal! My weight this morning is 144 lbs, always weigh in on a Friday morning anyhow. This will be good to keep me accountable. I am doing 30DS as well as gym 3-4 times a week and lots of walking. Good luck everyone! :smile:

    Great! I'm im. I lost 14 lbs recently during a challenge among some work associates and friends. I have started to slide on diet and exercise and have gained back about four lbs, so I will get back on track with this challenge. My goal is 6 lbs down by Aug 12. Thanks for the motivation!

    Yay! Glad to have you all join me!

    I just did 45 minutes of Turbofire! Tonight I plan to go to the gym to do a short run and some weights. My starting weight is 173.6 so that makes my goal 163.6 :)

    I'll keep the challenge open a couple more hours and then close it so everyone in the challenge is committing for the entire 4 weeks! Sound good?

    Count me in! I would love to lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks! I missed my start of summer goal so I am ready to start now!

    I will be doing C25K 3 days per week. (I am in the middle so I will be almost finished with that program by the end of the challenge!)

    The other 3 days I will be doing 30DS or another workout DVD.

    If I hit my goal I am going to get myself the Oakley's I have been admiring!

    I'm in! Generally pretty good about working out but eating out and too much is where I need accountability. Just started mfp yesterday. We alternate our workout program every 2 weeks between Insanity, Supreme 90 day, Turbo Fire and P90X. When I succeed at this challenge I will reward myself with a new outfit or whatever catches my eye at the time.

    Ok guys, so glad so many are joining! But I think we should close the group now. I want to be sure we are accountable, and people are more accountable if they connect to other people and if we have any more challengers it will be hard to keep track of everyone! :)

    So, I'm going to start a new thread named 4 Week Challenge 7/15-8/12 (CLOSED), please start posting there. Thanks!!

    Count me in too! MoniRae, I'm IroncladBRX's wife (he's also doing this) and we're going to the beach in 4 weeks so this is perfect timing.

    My goal is at least another 5lbs lost before then.
