Up for a Summer Challange??? 20 lbs by August 31st

ALRIGHT!!!
I'm soooo pumped up by the response. Looks like we have about 18 on our all star team, just perfect to get the games underway.
So I was thinking of a way that we would have to be accountable to ourselves (and eachother) without feeling the pressure to post every single day- thus the weigh in and post we HAVE to do each and every Friday. That sounds ok to everyone right??
You only need to log days/minutes of exercise on Friday- that way you can really see how much progress you've made or the need to push yourself for the following week.
If you log your workouts in the Exercise tab, it calculates all the time and calories for you and is then easy to retrieve Friday.
Believe me- I don't want to be the one with 2 workouts logged as I can already feel that you guys are tough and ready to kick some honey buns.
The workouts count for this week ( week begins Sun and ends Sat) so make sure to log this Friday.
Ok...think that's it.
Of course this thread is also to lend support to each other and to be the voices of "GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND INTO THE GYM" when you think you just want to throw in the towel. That's not going to happen with us.
We can so do this - together!

I've always been up for a challenge... My maternity leave finishes on August 24, so this is perfect timing. Loose the pounds and wow them at work (I'm already almost 20 pounds under my pre-preggo weight). I'm starting day 3 of the 30 Day Shred, so it'll be interesting to see if it affects my results.
