SUMMER WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

[Barb135]

Who’s ready for bikini time??  Certainly, not I……………..

With 16 weeks before the first day of summer, this seems like a good time to start a new challenge, to get “fit and fine”, for the bikini, bathing suit, sundress, shorts and tank top, or whatever your favorite dress code is for summer.  

Oh, and let’s not forget that we’ll be healthier for losing those excess pounds!!

I, personally, have too much weight to lose, to think of getting into a bathing suit of any kind, this summer…….. BUT, it’s long past time for me to get busy and get it off.  

SO – in order to get as “fit and fine” as I can, and knowing that small goals aren’t so daunting, I’m committing to losing no less than 1 pound/week for the next 16 weeks – that’s from now till June 21st, which is the first day of summer.  

Safe weight loss is 1-2 lbs/week and with my medical conditions and the medications I take, I think 1 lb/wk is probably reasonable.  I’m challenging every one of you to “meet or beat” my goal.  

All you have to do to  join, is make a commitment to lose at least 1 pound/week.  Can’t be *that* hard, right??  Hmmmmmm, we’ll see about that!!  LOL

So here we go; just post below that you want to join, then start by losing (weight, that is).  I’ll post a Sunday weigh in thread to keep track of progress. For those not familiar with the Sunday Weigh In (I haven’t been doing them, due to lack of participation) – this is a post that I do each Sunday, in which we post our weight loss for the previous week, “brag” about our successes, talk about whatever problems we might have encountered, what we might do to change things, encourage those having problems staying on course, etc……….. Watch for it – I’ll post it every Sunday morning, with the title “Sunday Weigh In (date)”.  

Everyone is welcome to post on the weigh in thread, whether or not you choose to join this challenge.

Are you ready??   LET’S “WIN” BY LOSING (weight)

I am 15 years old, 60 kg/ 133 pounds/ 9 stones and 5'5 feet/ 1.66 cm. I really really want to lose at least 10 pounds for at least 2 months. Please help me to be motivated because I still eat a lot of foods in our house because we have a restaurant and a food store. Good luck to everyone! We can do this! x

Wow - we've got quite a group here... Welcome to everyone who has joined in the past few days... This is exciting to have so many people on board.

I want to remind everyone that you're welcome to post threads letting everyone know what/how you're doing, ask questions, ask for support or motivation or whatever kind of help you need.

I do post a weigh in on Sunday... It's titled SUNDAY WEIGH IN:  DATE so you'll know you're posting on the current one.
