Three Month Challenge- Who's With Me!?

Posts: 209 Member
Hey everyone! I am finding myself in serious need of motivation and accountability, so I thought I'd start a challenge group! All are welcome!
As summer comes to a close and fall begins, I am serious about getting healthy, stronger, and dropping the pounds that have crept up on me! This is the only body that I've got, and I want to take care of it! So, just reply to this thread if you want to join!
Some guideines:
-Weigh-ins will be on Mondays. I've found that this helps me, because I eat more carefully on the weekends, knowing I have to
weigh-in Monday am!
-Goals: set any goals you'd like! Whether it's to lose 1 pound a week, survive 30 Day Shred or to just get tone.
-This challenge will start today, and go through November 14. That way, when everyone sees you during the holidays, they can
see how fabulous you look! ; )
So, post your info as soon as possible, and I will start a spreadsheet highlighting everyone's goals and accomplishments! Oh, and be sure to add me as a friend! Check back here on this forum, this is where we'll post!
Can't wait to get started!!!

I would love to join! I wil have to post all of my info later because I'm right in the middle of something, but saw this and had to say I'll join! This week, I can't do any workouts due to doctor's orders. I have an appointment on Friday, and hopefully will be able to start exercising again!!!! If I do anything, I might try to do some ab workouts, she just said I can't run like I was doing before, and to not do anything that would stress out my joints! She thinks I have RA and until I see my specialist, I'm to take it easy! Anywho, I'll be back with my measurements!0
