Sexy for Summer 2012 Challenge
Summer time means bikinis, bonfires, beach visits, roller coasters and family vacations!
This will be a long-term challenge for those that have summer time weight loss goals.
I love riding roller coasters, traveling and soaking up the sun....but at 290 pounds, I'm not gonna look too great at the beach, and roller coasters at Cedar Point? I won't fit right now! I'm looking to challenge and support (and be supported) by anyone that wants to join in and get sexy by summer 2012. Starting right now!
Challenge Set-Up: Each week, I will post a specific fitness or diet goal (maybe sometimes both). Group members should work to complete the goals and tell us how they did each week. Additionally, each week, members will need to post their weight lost, a NSV and at least one thing that they love about their body that week.
Points will be awarded for every 5 pounds lost, and for each challenge success. For example: Johnny loses 10 pounds and completes all three parts of the week's challenge. Johnny is awarded 2 points for his weight loss, and three points for completing challenges. Points will be tallied bi-weekly.
What you need to do right now: Post your real name, location, starting weight, goal weight for summer 2012, one thing you love about your body, and one thing you really want to work on.

1IL: I love that my arms are getting thinner and stronger with every workout that I do!
1IH: I want to work on my belly fat. It's where I carry most of my weight...and if I want to ride roller coasters this summer, I need it to SHRINK!
Challenge status: So far, I have done 2 miles this week, and drank 4 glasses of water today.
I love MFP and have been on and off for the past year. I started my second time around at the beginning of September, and I am in it for the long haul. Challenges are such a great way to stick to a commitment.
This week's challenge:
Run or walk at least 10 miles this week
Drink 10 glasses of water a day
Tell yourself every morning that you are strong and beautiful, inside and out!
Good luck everyone!!

10 in a week; not one day. I certainly can't do that in one day!! :-P
It's about 1.5 a day. Or you can walk it, which is like a 45 minute walk.0 -
This sounds perfect for me!! I love to ride at amusement parks and lay out at the pool or beach and it just so happens that I could be getting married next summer. I want to feel sexy! I would love to encourage and be encouraged.

1IL: Whoa, this one is hard right now. I love that even though I am overweight, my body still alows me to run!
1IH: I really want to tone up so I don't have too much sagging skin when I'm done losing. I know I will have some after having 3 kids, but I would like that to be as little as possible!0 -
Yay! Thanks everyone for joining! I know it's going to be the long haul til summer comes....It won't be easy to avoid temptations during thanksgiving, christmas and new year's....but I know we can all do it!
How much weight do you guys hope to lose per month? What are you going to do to meet or exceed that goal?
I want to get down to 275 (at least) by the new year, which is about 7.5 pounds a month. I'm hoping that by watching what I eat, incorporating more water into my day, and making sure I work out at least a half hour a day will get me there :-)0 -

I love my arms, it has great muscle tone and gives me hope for the rest of my body.
I dont like how I look in pics, I am fine with how i look most of the time, but lately pictures have become my enemy.
Nicole: Please let me know how progress will tracked (is there going to be a google spreadsheet like I see on some challenges or are we going to just do check through blog posts?); also is there a certain day we should check-in for the weeks challenge and results.
Thanks,0 -
