September is here and the dog days of summer are gone. Can you wear your jeans without lying on the bed? Are you storing extra fat like a bear to hiberate for the winter? Or, are you starting to resemble to resemble a pumpkin.

The kids are going back to school and it's back to normal routines. Whatever that means!!! Let's get back in the groove of things by doing 30 days of hard core moving it. In 30 days, you can flash your hot, new body that's firm and toned up. Let's lift that booty, tone those arms and whittle the tummy.

1) WE ARE NOT going to be mushy :noway:
2) Our thighs WILL NOT rub together when we walk :grumble:
3) WE WILL make our goals this week :drinker: :drinker:
4) Things WILL NOT jiggle unless we are dancing and we want them to :smokin:

The goals are:

1) 360 minutes of moving...it doesn't matter what kind you do or how you break it up...I don't care what kind of exercise you do as long as your moving this week. Point is to keep moving and doing something

Shake and Jiggle it! Wiggle or Bump it! Thump and Stomp it! Womp it!! Kick it!! Flick it!!!

- or -

2) Burn 2500 to 3500 calories with a heart rate monitor

OK, who's in for Week #1, if at first you don't succeed, you keep trying...just keep coming back and reporting progress or non-progess...it doesn't matter...it keeps us accountable and that's how we commit to healthy lifestyles

    I would love to join in but I have never joined in on a challenge. I have only been with MFP for a month today so I am still learning. If someone can tell me where I post my results that would be awesome. It is starting on the 1st or today?

    I am starting Round 3 of my BL contest. It will start Wednesday, Sept 7th. PM me if you want in, I have 3 spots left.

    3rd Round, Fit-n-Trim to Win Elimination Contest

    Losing team will eliminate one person with the lowest percentage of body weight.

    The person with the highest percentage of weight loss gets an advantage for the next week. This will have some twists as the weeks go on. The advantages will include immunity; weight advantage and disadvantage, trading players. This might not be for you if your feelings get hurt easily; or, you hate losing; or, you have low self-esteem. This is supposed to be fun and good natured.

    Criteria to enter:
    1) You have a digital scale
    2) You have a digital camera
    3) You can weigh in any day of the week (weekdays & weekends)

    Weigh-ins:
    1. We will weigh in every Wednesday. If you fail to weigh in on Wednesday, you will be eliminated and out of the contest. If that happens, no one will be eliminated for that week.

    2. You can post up 2 weights for the weigh in days. I will pick the lower of the two weights.

    3. If you are unable to make a weigh-in and know that you will be on vacation, please notify me at the start of the contest. I will allow a different weigh in date since I will know upfront and will allow a change. There will be no other exceptions.

    4. If you would not like to be in the game anymore, do not post it on the thread. Send me an email, so that other contestants do not know and slack off. We’ll let them think someone will still be eliminated.
    Second Chance:
    Everyone deserves a second chance, right? So, for all the people eliminated, they will be put in the second chance category. We will have 2 opportunities for the second chance people to come back. I’m thinking Week 7 and Week 12. If you are the top loser of the second chance category, you will be allowed back into the contest.
    How to weigh-in:
    1. You would weigh in with the code work that I will post on a thread the prior night
    2. You will take a picture of the scale with your current weight, date and code word attached
    3. You will post the photo on the link I will provide for each week

    Besides, the ultimate reward of a healthier, more slender body, I will mail a prize for the ultimate winner.

    It would be really cool if you took a before picture. You don’t have to post now. However, if you are the winner, please post the before and after picture for us all to be jealous and admire.


    You will write the code word “COMPETITON” on a piece of paper
    Place this on or around the scale
    Snap the picture of the paper and your weight

    This is how to post your picture. Please do a practice one so that you are ready for the contest.

    1) I use photobucket, upload the photo there
    2) copy the IMG code

    Why does "walk the dog" sound like a yoga move?
