Spring-Summer Slimdown Challenge:

I’ve fallen off the healthy lifestyle and weight loss bandwagon so to speak, and it’s high time I got back on. I thought I’d try my hand at organizing a challenge to help myself and hopefully others out.

 Each week, everyone will post a weight loss goal, and if the goal is met then that person gets a point. Each week there will also be a challenge of some sort related to healthy lifestyle and eating.  Weekly challenge ideas include meeting daily deficit goal, exercise certain amount each week, drinking water, eating fruits & veggies, limiting sodium, including weights in exercise routine, keeping within cholesterol goals, meeting calcium requirements, etc.  Please let me know if you have other ideas.

The challenge will last 8 weeks (May 4 to  June 29). Each person will track their own points for the week and the post points earned and weights on the main thread and I will tally and post results.  If there are enough people, I’ll divide into teams as well.

Challenge will start May 4. Weigh ins should be posted by the end of the day Monday (so that means you can’t blow it on the weekend!). If you’re interested, just post here with your  goal weight.

This is a cross-posting from the Challenges Forum. You only need to sign up in one place.
