Smile Bikini Challenge! Summer 2011

***NEW MEMBERS*** If you want to join, add your name and weight to SHEET 3, it skipped 2, i dont know why but i think now if names are added to sheet 1 it messes with the numbers, im not sure lol

I haven’t seen a summer challenge here yet and now I think would be a good time because summer has really been over for a while but it’s just starting to get cold. I never think to worry about how I’ll look for the summer in a swim suit until it’s really too late, but now it’s not! Maybe you have an old swim suit you’d like to fit back into. It doesn’t have to be a bikini; I know that it definitely wouldn’t be a bikini for me! Lol A one piece is fine. It don’t matter what it is as long as you feel better about how you are looking, and it doesn’t even have to be a swim suit, maybe shorts and a tank top, just what ever.

I was thinking maybe weigh in once or twice a month because it just seems a ways away and it would be a lot to keep track of if we weighed in every week, and if I counted right it’s 33 weeks till June 1. If we did it once a month it would be on the first, if twice a month every first and 15th of the month. I tried to equal it out with the twice a month, but its fine. Which do you think?

Whichever we do ill make a spread sheet and everyone can add their weights to it or post it to this thread and ill add it, but it would make it easier if you did it yourself.

If there’s enough people would you like to do teams to see who can lose the most? Ive decided that we wont do teams since theres people close to their goal

Heres the spread sheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...CMScxc4D#gid=0
Ive made it as twice a month but if i change my mind ill make it once a month

I'm too close to goal to want to be on a team. LOL! I'd bring my partner down with both my slow loss and my eventual maintenance. (Ah, beautiful words!)

HOWEVER, I love this idea! I love looking back over a long period of time to see that I actually have made progress.

I'm in, and I'd love to post my starting weight as of yesterday (the first of November)

Goal weight: 135
Start weight 11/1/10: 159.4

Yeah, this for me too, unless I'm going to slow the team down. Seriously. I average 2 pounds a month sometimes and it's not from lack of effort!

I think it's a great idea, but I'm too slow of a loser to join in--I'm lucky to lose a pound a MONTH, let alone 2 a week! LOL

Good luck, ladies!
