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.

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 -

Good question!
I have a spreadsheet that I am keeping track of everyone on. Weigh-in day will be Mondays; starting with the upcoming on October 30th. You should also let me know how you did for the previous week's challenge.
I will post updated spreadsheet image shots by Wednesdays, with updated points.
Good luck! :-)0 -

Your message to me about the millenium force was too cute. I grew up in Fremont (45 minutes south east of Toledo), and so Cedar Point was always 20 minutes away. I haven't been there in a few years because when I went in 2009, I was about 260 pounds....and THREE people had to help buckle me into the wicked twister while I pushed together my breasts! SOO embaressing. Haven't been back since. I really want to go this summer. My husband and I love roller coasters and it would be our first time going together.0 -

I was thinking about going to Cedar Point this weekend for the Halloweekends, but not sure how it would work with a sweater/sweatshirt on and winter coat. Thinking the seat belt thing probably wouldn't work too well since I have a big booty and hips, in addition to all the clothes I would need to stay warm. Lol I had almost the same problem on the millennium force with one of the workers trying to fasten the seat belt. It fasten but I was super embarrassed about it all. It will feel sooo good not to have that problem anymore!!0 -

Well, at least if you don't go....think of all the crowds you will avoid! I'm sure it will be crazy busy.0 -

Hi and thanks for setting this up. I lose weight very slowly which is OK with me. I would like to look good next summer even though I feel I"m too old to be in a swimsuit in public.

I love - that my arms are thin
I don't love -all the fat around my stomach
I forced myself to exercise today - I "walked" three miles (one then two) with Leslie Sansone, whose DVDs I really like
Glad to be here.0 -
hey everyone! Today was a good day. I drank 10 cups of water and walked another mile. I just started yesterday so thats 2 miles for me this week. I would love to have friend requests. I need and would love to give encouragement. The amusement park has been an issue for me. I looooove to ride all kinds of rides but havent for years. I watched them ask a woman to get off one summer because she couldnt fit and thought that she looked the same size as me. I wanted to cry for her and never got back on a ride since. I have 5 girls and every summer think about how im loosing out on riding with them. I always make excuses as to why i cant ride and I dont want another summer of doing that!
Ive been trying to find a moment each day to remind me of why I should stay strong and loose weight. so here is my one reason for today.... I was in the mall and as i was passing stores i thought that I should stay strong and loose because the bigger you get the less attractive the clothes are to buy. I wanna dress like a cool mom lol. I want my daughters boyfriends to think im the hott older sister!!0 -
