Hey everybody!
So yesterday I read this quote:
It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends to notice, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Give it 12 weeks - Don't Quit!!!
And I really want to test this theory. 12 weeks, three months, however you want to think of it, i think this is an amazing motivational quote that we can all take before and after shots...just to test this quote.
I've been thinking about it and everyone's goals are different so I dont think setting specific challenges would work, however I plan on doing 6 2 week challenges (this way to me it seems less daunting) and will be posting them on here every fortnight so if you'd like to join me on my challenges it will make it heaps easier and motivating.
You may wish to have an all over goal (maybe losing 6kg or maybe a measurment...maybe just to see more definition ect. depending on where you're at in your weight loss journey)
My challenges will be things like 'lose 3kg' or 'hit the gym every other day' or...i'm not sure yet lol. But don't feel obligated to follow me. I just thought this would be great group to collect before shots and then in twelve weeks share our 'after shots' and see what 12 weeks can really do!
Anyone is welcome to add me too.

Hey! I'm in! Could do with all the motivation I can get (and give!) as I've lately been falling off the wagon more times than I've been staying on it Anyone feel free to add me
My first month's goal is to complete Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I was supposed to start last night but got held up at work (I know, no excuses! ) but I'm definitely starting it tonight, regardless of what time I get home0 -
Count me in - I like the sound of 6x2 week challenges!
I have signed up for a 5k in September so my goals are to stick to my training plan and eat all my calories but also ditch the treats...0 -
Yes please! Fallen off the wagon badly lately, keen for this to start
Aiming to go from 82.2kg to 75kg within this time and be able to run 5km's nonstop! (can only run 2.5 now) haha0 -
I'm in!!! :0)0

I'm in! I just started MFP on 5/7. I haven't had a chance to post my starting picture yet. My ultimate goal is to lose about 35-40 pounds. My fitness goal for the next three weeks is to be able to jog for 3 minutes straight at various points during my walks. My 12 week goal is to be able to do a 5K, jogging all of it (or almost all).
Another goal is to be faithful to posting the food diary every day, throughout vacations, etc. So easy to get off track if you let that slack. Good luck, everyone.0 -
I would love to join this type of challenge!!! I was doing so well, but then slid backward and have gained 20 pounds since Novmeber!!!
For my first two weeks my goal is to stick to my calorie goal. Simple and to the point!0 -
Would love to do this! Im in!!0
-
I am in!! I have fallen off the wagon so I think this will help me get motivated again.0
-
Count me in! I have hit a plateau in my weight loss the past 2 weeks and need to change it up a bit...a 12 week challenge would be great!!!0
