I hope you don't mind, if so, just delete. I weighed in today as I will be traveling the next 5 days and i'm not sure if i'll have an opportunity to put my starting weight in the chart on the 15th. I will make every effort to check in, but will need to find a scale 'on the road'! best wishes to everyone.

My three personal challenge goals:

OK, I'm finally ready. Here we go:

FAT CAMP - FAT LOSS CONTRACT
Camper: ICUwishing

I hereby commit to 12 weeks of regular vigorous exercise. I will do no less than 5 workout sessions a week between swim team practices, HIIT, and the TRX – and will fuel these workouts with appropriate eating. I will be focused on challenging my abilities in the pursuit of elevating my physical performance.

I realize that this contract is solely with myself and that it carries no rewards, penalties or punishments other than those associated with the reflection of the strength of my character.

I hereby commit to 12 weeks of regularly caring about myself - mind, body, and spirit. I commit to exercising for a minimum of 15 minutes per day, track calorie intake daily, and stay as close to plan as possible. I commit to not beating myself up if I mess up and to just keep trying!

I'd like to join. Just had hip surgery and with no exercise had a regain. Will need to really pay attention to diet and this may be the thing to motivate me to do it! Hopefully can get back to some exercise in the next month too.

Will add details before Monday...

TERRY:
Welcome to the challenge. Sorry about the hip surgery, but I'm sure you will be better than ever before you know it. Hope you get a good result from it! I understand that you recover a lot faster than with a knee replacement.

Suggested Activities for Week 1 - Beginning 6-15-14:

1. Establish your goals (if you haven't already done so)
Weekly goals (i.e. 2 pound weight loss for week one, 20 miles of walking/running, etc.)
Mid-term goals (i.e. lose 10 pounds by week 4)
Goals to meet by 9-07-14 (i.e. lose 15 pounds by then)

2. Establish something for inspiration. It can be a vision board, a photo, inspirational phrases or an inspiration outfit. It helps to have something to view daily/frequently to keep you focused on the prize (a slimmer, more fit you). You have to want to reach your weigh-loss goal more than you want to overeat.

3. Gather the tools for success. A failure to plan is a plan to fail.

• Clean out the kitchen and prepare for clean eating

• Stock up on good foods and make some meal plans for the week

• Ask for help and suggestions.

• It is strongly suggested that you count your calories. If you don't have a means to do that, you might want to try MyFitnessPal.

4. When reporting your weight and accomplishments at the end of each week, it is suggested that you state successes and improvement opportunities.


OUR EXERCISE CHALLENGE FOR THE FIRST WEEK
It is a great little routine to add to you workout this week. Try turning it into a circuit by adding some aerobic moves in the mix (i.e., skaters, jumping jacks, step ups, marching in place, hula hoop etc.). We have an exercise worksheet on the challenge spreadsheet. You may use it to record your reps. If you are unsure of how to do any of the exercises, just do an internet search and you will find everything you will need.

[FeraFilia]

Hello! I'd like to join please.

I'd like to set a goal weight of 290. Start weight is 313.6, so it's just under 2 pounds per week.
