Hey guys! I realized today that bikini/bathing suit season starts in approx 2 months...kind of a scary thought! I need all the motivation and encouragement I can get if I want to be beach ready in a couple months.
Anyone interested in trying to get toned for summer, please join!
Post your current weight/measurements and what you would like to be in two months. Also, include how you're going to get there (i.e. no more late night snacking, sticking to a work out plan, not going over calories, cutting down on alcoholic drinks, etc)
Throughout the next couple months post all achievements you make and how you've accomplished these goals.
If you find yourself in need of motivation let us know and we'll try our best to keep you on track!
Good Luck everyone!!!!

Yay!! I'm in! My birthday is June 1st.........just in time for bikini season!
Current Weight :164

I plan to try the "Couch to 5K" plan to be able to run 3 miles straight! I hope this helps me drop some pounds as well as tone and build up my endurance. :flowerforyou:0 -

Current: 132
Goal: 125
It is more about toning for me then losing weight though...
I run 3x/wk + elliptical and weights 3x/wk, and try to not eat to much junk, drink alcohol (other then wine), and try not to late night munch, or munch any time when I am really not hungry!0 -

5'6 1/2
Current weight: 133
Goal weight: 125
I will stick to my goal calories, looking up anything that might tempt me before I eat it, stick to whole foods, workout AT LEAST 3x a week, do more cardio, and LESS ALCOHOL!!
I really want to get into shape so it is much easier to stay in shape. You know what I mean?0 -
I'm in too!! My B-Day is June 2nd!!
I have already been doing this!! why do you think i'm here!! LOL
I'm 5' 0" short
CW this morning 115.6
GW 105
I will continue what i have been doing, my treadmill, eating right and trying to stay away from the alcohol, but with 4 of our B-days including mine between now and June 2nd, going to be hard on 4 of those days!! LOL:drinker:
I also just started the 30 day shred, need to tone mostly!!
Going to have to see if there is a bikini bootcamp at my Y as well
Is there going to be any kind of weigh in's?
Good Luck Everyone!!!0 -
Crud. 2 months!
I am now 157, and would LOVE to be 139 by June... this requires a steady 2 pound a week loss with no slip-ups. Finals always cause slip-ups!
But I'm game... i guess I'd settle with 145 so as to not beat myself up on bad weeks.
I'm going to keep up the gym, log in my food BEFORE eating it to avoid oopsie-daisies, and take advantage of lovely weather to take long walks on top of gym time.0 -
Okay...this is just what I am looking for...count me in!!
Not too concerned about losing weight as a goal...just need to tone, tone, tone.
As of today:
CW: 110
GW: 105-108
I am only 5' tall - measurements are c-35/w 25.5/h-35.5/thighs-20.5 (just want everything to not wiggle and get my butt back up to where it was 15 years ago!!)
Plan to keep going to the gym to workout on the arc trainer for 40mins, then strength train 4-5 times per week, off days at home - workout dvd's or hiking if weather permits. Have already been making much better food choices (bye bye poptarts lol) thanks to a nutritionist and want to continue to make smart choices and build lean muscle!!! Eating 5-6 times a day really has helped me. Your body is an amazing thing when you feed it well.....IT LOVES YOU!!!0 -

i'm about 5'1 and 19 so i'm hoping this is a realistic goal for me!
i don't need to be super skinny this summer, but i want to be at least 125 lbs.! i just want to look toned and healthy, and i will make a better goal for next summer when it is more realistic. so far i'm going to cut down on ALL snacking, because it seems like all i ever do is eat! .. i'm going to do lots of core work outs so i can lose my belly fat, along with lots of cardio to try to boost my metabolism. i'm really determined to lose this weight! .. i just joined yesterday, but i already feel a lot better about myself because i know i'm going to do this so that i can look & feel great!0 -

Congrats on starting your "healthy you" journey!! Looks like you are off to a great start and hold onto that feeling of feeling great about yourself....
Good Luck! You will find an awful lot of support and motivation throughout this site....anytime I felt like not working out, I would read through these threads and I would never be able to come up with a viable excuse not to just do it...and I have always felt 150% better after I did!!!0 -
I'm soo excited to see other people are interested in this Challenge!!
My goal is to drop 10 lbs and at least 1.5 inch off my waist. My plan is to work out at least 6 times a week and do at least 100 crunches a day! I'm also doing the Couch to 5k to get ready for a half marathon in September! I'm going to try not to snack at night, cut back on alcohol (which should limit my drunken binges lol), and eat a more balanced diet! Wish me luck!
I was thinking any time you guys do weigh ins just post your progress...no need to check in weekly, I know I dont get on the scale or take measurements more than once a month .. but people who do are more than welcome to share as often as they would like!0 -
I'm in too!!!!
I had a baby 7 months ago and quit smoking 5 months ago. I've been trying to loose weight for 7 months and it's been a real big struggle.
I'm 156 lbs :drinker: GW 130
I'm 5'7" c-39 w-34 h-41
I'm going to do the 30 day shred and really really watch my portions with no snaking unless it's veggies. If the snow and ice would ever melt I would start walking too

Ha I know what you mean there!! I have 3 girls also and well just face it, havent been GOOD at all!! lol..Look foward to the challenge!0 -
How is everyone doing after week 1???0
-
I lost 1 lb this week! :happy: Since I have been watching my calories and eating 5-6 times a day, my tummy is flatter. I started my running routine for my goal of a tone butt and thighs, I tried Zumba last night (actually didnt like it much), but I got 3 out of 4 workouts in so far this week, with the 4th being tomorrow! I will be going over my calories today though due to beers with the girls. But that's okay!0
-
Hey guys! How is everyone doing?? 34 more days until June 1st.
I worked out a little too much and hard...ended up hurting my foot, so no cardio for me for a little while. I figure Ill tone up in the meantime.
anyone reaching goals? I'd love to hear about it!0 -
doing okay..
i had slipped up for a few weeks last month due to our move... to much pizza haha, but i'm back on and getting back on track!0 -
Hi all!
Just wanted to check in...hopefully, we are all making progress!!! Not noticing much movement on the scale (only at 109) but have noticed much improvement with muscle tone and definition!! I never realized just how much strength training can do a body good!!! Getting rid of all that JIGGLE just in time for swim suit season is about the best reward!!! I swear I hear my body say "thank you thank you" with me feeding and treating it better....lol
Here is to staying on track and if for some reason you do get derailed....don't wait!!! Get right back on!!! You deserve it!!

Ooohhh! A 5k....this is something on my wish list....I am aiming to try one next year (I will be 40!!)...that is a wonderful goal that you have set for yourself!!! I hope my strength training helps my bum knee and it will allow me to do it early next year. Keep us posted on your progress!!!! Is running your cardio or do you do other cardio?0 -

That is a great goal you have for yourself also! I'm sure if you put your mind to it- you can do it! I will be happy to hear next year that you have done it!
Running is my cardio yes- on training days- I am going to do about 1 mile, and on cardio days only- do at least 2 miles- and then hopefulyl I can gradually increase that. I am stuck on 2 miles tops right now- I can do it- but am pretty tired afterwards. I am trying to just keep at my own pace and not pay attention to all the other people that are flying past me when I run at the park

5'0'" 34 years old
Today 4/29 142
Goal: 5/20 136
Goal: 6/3 132
I exercise already but I need to get regular with that. Min. 4 days a week at the gym. I just eat to much. I need to stick to my 1200 calories.0 -

Hey There!!

Count me in I just joined today and I want to get fit for summer and the rest of my life!:glasses:
todays weight 164
Goal 1440 -
I'm in!! I Just joined a little while ago and I really want to be able to wear a nice bathing suit for summer I love MFP, there is so much encouragment and motivation!
Current weight: ~145
Goal weight: ~135
I try to excersise everyday. I go to the gym as many times a week that I can. Usually I do Step Aerobics Mondays, Group Power (weight training) Wednesdays. Thursdays I do a core class, then an hour of cardio: elliptical, bike, stair master etc.. I am going to start doing Spin class on Tuesdays! I have already done one class and man is it a hard work out! I am going to cut my junk food consumption, no more night time snacking! and eat healthier 0 -
I'm so excited to see more people joining...it's never too late!
Great job on all the progress guys! I needed to modify my goals a little...I probably wont lose 10lbs because I'm not burning quite as many calories (since I cant do cardio for a couple weeks per doctors request), but I'd settle for 5-7lbs!!!
Keep posting...it's motivating me to keep going to the gym!0
