Challenge Buddies?

I tried positing this once, but I didn't go through. Sorry if this does post twice.
I thought I would propose another idea to the challenge group.... Would anyone be interested in challenge buddies? For instance, I would take anyone who is interested and match them with someone who has the similar goals. That way you could encourage each other to reach those goals. If anyone is interested, reply to this topic with a couple of facts about yourself, such as:
male/female
lbs. you want to lose during the challenge
Exercise/strength training routines
any other goals or facts that you would want to be used to be matched with someone similar
I will give everyone about a week to reply if they are interested and then have everyone matched up with a buddy by Saturday.

want to lose 30 lbs at least during the challenge
I use 3 different JM videos that are circuit trainging, I also am picking one challenge a week from the ones posted on this group, I am also hoping to start the C25K soon
I am a mom of two young girls, and stay at home mostly. The honey works 12 hour rotating shifts so on the days that he works getting out of the house to excercise is hard
Sounds like a fun idea

Interval and circuit training. I have done crossfit in the past and will occasionally refer to the WOD. I have P90X, Brazil butt and turbo fire @ home if those will help in a challenge. I'm open to anything!! But I was lax for the past 2 1/2 months and just started back in the gym.0 -
What a great idea! I'm 38 yrs old, and my total weight loss goal is 40 lbs. I'd like to lose 30 during this challenge.
My primary workout methods are running and crossfit, though I occassionaly do hot yoga or swim also.0 -

I want to lose about 20-25lbs during the challenge, which I feel is reasonable. Already 5lbs down!!
Exercise/strength training routines
I usually walk around the park with my dog for at least a mile. I also workout with the Xbox kinect, with the games The Biggest Loser & Just Dance 3. I want to incorporate more walking, and eventually some light strength training toward the end of the workout.
My goal is to really just commit to tracking my food with the food diary, resist cravings & to eventually slowly reduce my calorie intake even more.0 -

This sounds like a great idea.
Female
I want to lose my last 30 pounds during this challenge (lost 50 before this)
I'm doing ChaLEAN Extreme and Jillian Michaels DVDs (30 Day Shred and Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism are my favorites)
My weight loss goal is only a general guideline. If I get to a certain weight and decide that I'm where I need to be, I reserve the right to change my goal :-) I am watching calories, but also other nutrients--carbs, protein, fiber--to keep them in healthy limits. I know 30 pounds is going to be difficult for me in 90 days since I'm at the end of my weight loss journey, but I am going to do it!0 -

My desire is to lose the last 15 pounds or so give or take. I am a runner who runs several races a year. I am always training for my next race and and have been doing cross-fit the last two months. Next month I am thinking about doing Insanity or Turbo fire with running. My goal is to tighten and tone my mid section and get into the best shape of my life and keep fit 4 life.0 -
Last chance for challenge buddies.
In about 8 hours I am going to post everyone's buddies.
If anyone decides they want to do it after I post, I will do a second round next week. 0 -
I hope it isn't too late to get matched with a buddy....

Shooting for 30 lbs this challenge
Right now I mostly jog, 3-5 miles @ 4-5 days per week. I am going to start 30DS 2-3 days per week also.
I try to work out at least 5 days a week but some days are hard and I need a little push to do it.
If I can lose 30 lbs during this challenge it will put me under 200 and I want that really bad.
I work full time and have three kids age 10, 12, 15...so I stay busy. If I didn't have a supportive husband I don't know that I would be able to focus on my health right now. Very grateful for him! He has been a wonderful encouragement for me.0 -

i am super lazy and need all the motivation i can get. i like doing mountain climbers, bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, step ups, leg presses, jumping jacks, stairs, i also have a stationary bicycle
i want to look good in a bikini. i want to not always think about my fitness. i just want to be fit. i want to make healthy choices by default, i am tired of fighting with something that should have just been a basic need.0 -

Are we being matched up this saturday?
I was going to give everyone till Friday and have matches Saturday, but some things came up and I will not be able do the matches Friday evening or Saturday.
So, I was going to post everyone's buddies in a couple of hours and if they are anymore members who want a buddy, I will do another round of them next week. 0 -
Oki doki... Below is everyone's Challenge Buddies! :bigsmile:
I tried my best to match everyone up with someone close to their age and had the same goals or exercise routines.
Add them, message them, encourage them, pick them back up when the fall, & tell them how awesome they are.:happy:
