I'm attempting, and am inviting you to join me, to do the 12 week summer challenge

Summer generally means lovely weather. With lovely weather comes a smaller wardrobe & if your anything like me I dread getting my summer wardrobe out of storage.

I've made the decision that this year I will lose weight for summer so I don't suffer this year in the heat and the ailments that come with it (if like me your a little bigger you will get where I'm coming from) like I did last year.

So in these next 12 weeks I'm going to work that little bit harder to try and shift at least 25-30lbs in this time, and continue to shed at a decent rate throughout the summer, so I can make this summer more comfortable and not be embarrassed to do more with my son :)

Please feel free to join and track your progress over the next few weeks here :)

    (So exactly the same as eperkins83 haha)

    Why? So I can fit into my little WHITE dress, which isn't the most forgiving of colours!

    I'm in!! We are finishing up Biggest Loser at work (I am in the lead) but I work best with some group motivation.

    Starting weight: 188 lbs.

    12 week goal: 163 lbs. (25 lbs GONE!)

    Reason: To wear those cute Summer sundresses without feeling like the fat girl everyone thinks should never wear those dresses!

    I am in

    Starting weight 304
    12 week goal 275.

    I have a party with old friends and my vanity has me wanting to impress. Plus I am doing a 62.5 bike ride around that time so I need as much weight off and be in healthier shape.

    I'll give it a shot!

    Start Weight: 243 lbs
    12 Week Goal : 220 lbs

    My reasoning is because it's summer and if I reach the 12 week goal, I'll be 75 lbs lighter than last summer!

    Ohh...I'm in! I don't have anything in specific to get ready for, but lots of fun summer stuff. Son's swimming birthday party and camping!

    I've never been one to be super self conscious in a bathing suit, but I definately wouldn't mind looking better in a cuter one! :)

    CW: 203
    12 week goal weight:185

    I'm in!!

    Start Weight: 215

    12 wk goal: 200

    Reason: 2 reasons. 1) if I get down to 200lbs for the first time in my military career I won't have to take the body fat test (which I failed last cycle). 2) This fall I plan being able to pass the FBI academy fitness test requirements with flying colors!
