Hey friends as promised I've made our challenge official, it's 9 weeks until the end of the year and in that time I know we can lose a min of 10 pounds or more incorporating any exercise you wish and the optional mini challenges I set.
The challenge will begin Monday 31st and final weigh in will be Dec 31st.
For this week we'll use our last WI so with your introduction include current weight, goal weight and any personal goals you hope to achieve and every Sunday post your newest weigh in and anything else you wish to include. Every week I'll also be setting a mini challenge which will be optional.
If you need to rant, rave or show support to fellow friends this is the place to do it, it'll be good to see what ideas circulate also.
Again optional - Take pictures so you have something to compare at the end of this.
Mini challenge week 1 - Drink 64oz of water a day & complete 30 squat kicks daily. (youtube for deomstration)
Name: Serene Rose
Current Weight: 233.6
Goal Weight: 220.0
Loss so far: 0
Personal Goal - To exercise 4x a week for at least an hour & log all meals no matter how bad.
So come on ladies lets get to it, I'm excited & hope you are too, I know we've got this!
Good luck :happy:

Current Weight: 226 lbs
Goal Weight by December 31: 215 lbs
Loss so far: 0
Personal Goals also by December 31st : 1) I want to eat a healthy amount of calories 1300 or more daily!!! Staying under 1200 calories daily, doesn't help MY body at all. 2) Lose more inches from my abdominal area. 3) Reach my smallest weight in over 4 years.
Just a little about me: I'm 20 (21 Nov 13th!). Married just over 1 year
I am very religious. I work out 3-5 times a week at Curves using Curves Smart (which pushes me to do my best). Oct 17th was my 4 month anniversary with MFP and just since joining MFP, I have lost an additional 31 lbs. (5 lbs before joining) And and and, I am by no means on a diet. This is a lifestyle change for me. If I can't do it for life, I don't try it!!!
Best of luck to each and everyone of you. Special thanks to SereneRose!0 -
BTW: If you and I are not friends, lets BE! Add me

Once your body gets used to drinking more water, the more you will be able to drink. When I first started drinking only water, I was doing good to see 4-6 glasses. And not to mention the amount of time I spent using the restroom :laugh: Now I can drink 8 glasses without even having any "urges!" You are doing great!0 -
