9 week to summer countdown officially begins today!!

The YMCA here is having an official countdown to summer fitness challenge for 9 weeks!! 

I bet we can lost 20-30 pounds in nine weeks with HARD work and EFFORT !

9 x 2 = 18 pounds

9 x 3 = 27 pounds

Let's GO FOR IT.  I'd be so much cuter with 27 pounds off.  :)

Only 9 weeks.....UGH!!!!!

Count me in for a challenge.....

Are we going to keep track here or are we going to do this on our own?

I am already part of the bikini body challenge already but eh what the heck LOL The more challenges the merrier!

I never could resist a challenge! :D

9 weeks??? I'm depressed!  I'm on week 3 of my diet, been exercising almost every day (mostly running outside), and haven't lost any weight. My clothes don't seem any looser either :(

9 weeks . . . eek!  Count me in -- if I have to fall back on lifeguarding this summer I will definitely have to be in shape.  Will our weigh-ins be on Tuesdays?

hey...I'll play too.  How is this going to work?

:o) 
The YMCA's Challenge is to exercise 3 times per week for 9 weeks.

But, I say we challenge ourselves to lose 20 - 30 pounds in that 9 weeks. 

20 pounds is CERTAINLY manageable

30 pounds would be 3 per week and might be pushing it, but STILL doable.

I started yesterday with the following goals:

1,200 - 1,500 calories per day

Weight lifting Mon Wed Fri with 30 minutes of cardio

Cardio Tues & Thurs and Sat or Sun 1 hour (I'm killing 500-700 calories per workout on these days)

Lean Meats, Whole Grains, Fruits, Veggies are what is going to go into my body!  :)

Should we list our weights and our goal for our 9 weeks?

I do weigh in Mondays with my sister!  :)

I'm just starting week 4 of my exercise plan and dieting, and so far I haven't lost any either and my clothes feel a little bit tighter too. I guess that's normal then :( I still want it all gone NOW though.

Christy Female 30yo at 170 lbs.

I would like to get to 159 at the end of this nine weeks....that leaves 11 lbs.  Very do-able, I'd say!

im SO in!!!!

just a quick ? tho.  if my maitinence is 1600 then i can only cut back to 1200, right? so thats 400 deficit/day.  aka less than 1 lb a week. so if i burn cals excersizing, i don't have to eat them back, right? i could just extend my deficit to like 500 or 600? cuz honestly, less than a lb a week is pretty pathetic.  (esp when i get impatient.  which got me in BIG trouble b4).

thanks! and sry about the thread hijack :D

Count me in!  Female 5'5" 142.6 pounds this morning.  Want to lose at least 10 lbs. in 9 weeks.   I have a wedding to go to in 9 weeks so perfect timing!  Good luck everyone!

I'm in for 18!

count me in and wish me luck! I need to lose about 15 lbs in order to reich my goal but the scale is not moving :-(

Super DUPER ! ! !
