Hello Everyone :drinker:

I'm just back from my holiday and feeling like I will need some motivation to stay on track over the next few weeks and months.
I got into pretty good shape before my holiday knowing I would be baring all in my bikini and with my BF there I needed to be in great shape. I really want to maintain this but back home it feels cold and I have turned to carbs.
I desperately want to keep this weight and size and need to carry on with running and exercise DVD's at home.
I don;t use the gym as I prefer to workout alone but would LOVE some sort of challenge where I can report back and say I have completed todays workout.

Would anyone out there be interested in a running challenge or a 30day shred challenge or turbojam challenge or 6 week 6 pack challenge or any other for that matter, maybe we could tailor it to our own personal favourite exercise or exercises and still check in and be accountable for doing it daily or completing our weekly goals?

All ideas welcome!!!
Let me know your thoughts people :flowerforyou:

    I'm keen for a 30DS challenge. I'd love the motivation to stay on track with it.

    I'd definitely be up for another 30DS non stop 30 days, maybe we can do that then? :happy:

    I am running (training for a half marathon) and doing P90X...I'll help keep you accountable. Do you want to just report to each other in this thread everyday?

    Awww thanks :happy:
    That would be great. I feel like I need to set a goal and stick to it otherwise I will just get lazy and lose all the progress I have already made.
    I know that I need to be slim and feel good for Christmas and New Years Eve so really want to just focus and get a plan together so I can maintain the fitness level I have built up and keep my eating in check.

    Maybe what I need to do is work out a new exercise plan, with running and maybe a DVD workout or two so I can have a fixed plan which I need to complete each week, something that is flexible so if it's raining I can get on with a DVD or swap things around when I'm really short of time.

    I admire you for training for a half marathon!! That is awesome, I hope to one day complete the London Marathon, I would love to enter in a few years time and give it a go but have no idea how I would even start to train for that!!
    Well do to you!! :flowerforyou:

    YAY!! Lets do it!!! That is three of us for 30day shred, I have done it three times before but will do it again... LOVE it
    I can combine it with running 3 times a week and some arm weights and I reckon that would be a great exercise plan.

    I will be doing 30 day shred daily, on double on days where I might miss on the next day IE when at my BF's.
    Also I will aim to do 3 runs a week
