The kids are headed back to school. Let's start a new challenge. I have been off all summer and now is the time to kick it into gear.
Anyone interested?
If we do a 14 week challenge it would take us up to Thanksgiving week.
So...Let's start on Wednesday, August 24.
We could each concentrate on one area that we are bad about sticking to or more if you want. We would need the following:
1. Start weight
2. Goal weight
3. One area you want to concentrate on (exercise daily, drink all my water, a certain calorie level each day, no chocolate) You pick and stick to it.

Let me know what you think of this idea and we will get it rolling.
These always help me to kick it into gear.
Karen
With hope for tomorrow, Karen

Hey! We got it going. And look at the experience here. I am excited.
Tex~ You look wonderful! I am really amazed at the way you have slimmed down. WTG!! You give me hope that I can get the second half of my weight loss finished.
Bama~ You are doing so well. What a great group!
Any suggestions on how to structure this, let me know.
With hope for tomorrow, Karen

Count me IN!! Now that the kids are back I need to get my butt in gear!!

1. Start weight 155
2. Goal weight 130
3. One area you want to concentrate on:
MY STOMACH!!! LOL Ok, food, water, and toning. Cardio isn't my problem. I'm an addict and will haul myself to the elliptical on my death bed I swear! I have to get back to Curves or the gym. One or the other. I've lost plenty of pounds but hardly any INCHES this summer. I gotta get the inches off too!

So here we go ladies! I'll post my foods and exercise daily starting tomorrow.

Nikki give me your shoes from that picture! LOL

I'm going to have to email you a picture of my shoes I got this week. You're going to crack up laughing when you see them. Everyone hates them but ME! You'll love em'!

Hello ladies! (Knib~~haven't heard from you since you joined and left our School's out Challenge...good to see you're back in here!!!)

I have been in the School's Out Challenge all summer and was just getting ready to post our idea for a "SCHOOL'S IN" Challenge and it sounds about like you are doing what we were thinking. The only real difference is that we were planning to have weekly "mini" challenges and end with Halloween so as to not make it too long, then do another for Oct 31-1/5ish. I don't know, but it sounds like maybe we could join them together and not have a problem, but I wanted to ask you guys before we just jumped in.

What do you think? If you'll have us and if I can convince the others to join you, too, we'll be here with you next week!

Hello everyone!!! I am interested in joining if there doesn't get to be a HUGE amount of people. I am in need of A LOT of butt kicking. My dh leaves for a 12 month + deployment Tuesday afternoon, so I am a little depressed at this point. I have been screwing around for the last week and a half and have been TOTALLY off track. I haven't exercised and eaten EVERYTHING that I have wanted.

Starting Weight - 172
Goal Weight by end of challenge - 150, thats about 1 1/2 lbs a week
Areas to concentrate on - arms, stomach area, exercising everyday and WATER!!!

Plus, I only weigh in about once a month, if this doesn't bother anyone???? I weigh in at the dr's office every month on the same scale so I know for sure that I am going in the right direction!!!

I also like to be held accountable for my food intake everyday so I usually put them in too. So, I hope that ya'll can help me to get out of my funk and back into my FUN loving self, of course only missing a few lbs of myself, LOL

So, I will talk to ya'll tomorrow. Hopefully I won't pull you into the dumps with me



My Final Goal
