    Shape Up For Summer...Who's Up For The 12 Week Challenge :)

    Posts: 39
    edited November 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
    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 :)

      This sounds brilliant!

      Start Weight: 172 lbs

      12 Week Target: 154lbs

      (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! :)

      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!
