Spring Into Summer Challenge
 
I have been looking around for a challenge that will go all the way through spring into summer to keep accountable, and possibly help keep me motivated. So, I figured why not just start my own. Anyone can join the weekly weigh in chart is below. The challenge will start on the first day of Spring March 20th and run thru the first day of Summer June 21st. You can weigh any day of the week you like. The last week has a few extra days so we can end this challenge on June 21st.
Happy Losing!

I've never done a longer-term challenge with a weekly weigh-in before, so I think I will start with this one! A three month mini-goal seems like a good place to start for building up to long-haul accountability. Also, I think Spring and Summer are both great times of the year for healthier living, so this challenge has perfect timing. :yes: (Just added a little ticker to my signature to keep track of this challenge.)

PinkPeachPie 03-20-2013 08:34 AM

Hi guys! Down a little from my starting weight this morning, although I think it being that time of the month has to do with the fluctuations.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Brandibooxoxo 03-20-2013 01:00 PM

I've maintained, but I didn't weigh at my usual time. So, well see what happens. Pinkpeachpie- Congrats on the small loss ;)

rodeogirl 03-20-2013 01:05 PM

Ok got my Spring into Summer ticker - now it's time to see some pounds come off.

I did the fit test for the Insanity work out last night. I couldn't do everything and didn't push too hard because I don't want to injure myself. I liked it and hopefully can do Day 1 (to the best of my ability) tonight.

Even being on-plan yesterday, except for a late-night workout, I shot up 1.2 lbs to 264.6 this morning...ugh. :halfempty Not a great way to start my first weekly weigh-in, but I'm just going to keep telling myself that that just means my loss will be that much more impressive next week, lol. Positive thinking! :crossed:

rodeogirl- I think if I did for insanity I would pass out! Way to go.
opheliaphoenix- I understand completely, but personally i'm a daily weigher so I watch the numbers rise and fall, it can be really dissapointing. Just remember; YOU CAN DO IT!
As for me I officially hit the two teens today! Hopefully it will show on next weeks wi.

rodeogirl 03-22-2013 01:02 AM

Brandi - I did the fit test as best I could but on day1 it was just a bit too hard on the knees so I am shelving it until I get some of the weight off and can try it again.

I am motivated to find something that will work or start walking again. It's been cold/rainy here all winter (the usual) but soon it will be good walking weather.

1lb a week is pretty good imo. It's a little easier for us who are not yet in Onederland to do more than 1lb - but 1lb a week is good!

amandie 03-24-2013 04:41 PM

Rodeogirl- Thank you. I sure miss those nice weekly losses when I was near 230. I also saw your post on the Insanity the other day, how did it go??

rodeogirl 03-24-2013 05:13 PM

Insanity is too hard on my knees currently - so I'm going to stick with low impact walking until I drop some more weight and then come back to them. They will definitely get you in shape if you follow them. :)

FitGirlJ 03-24-2013 05:55 PM

Hi Rodeo Girl. :wave: I did the Insanity fit test also then attempted day 1 and 2 and it is definitely hard on the knees. I decided that I didn't want to risk injury. I am going to wait until I'm smaller as well (and in better shape). I'm glad someone else had a similar experience. I felt like such a quitter.

rodeogirl 03-24-2013 07:34 PM

We're "losers" not quitters! ;)

I'm trying to do walking instead until I get under 250 then I think I'll try again.

amandie 03-24-2013 08:12 PM

I bet!!! I heard it is hella HARD and I agree that it's not quitting. I couldn't even do 30 Day Shred at my highest especially with the jumping jacks, oh my knees! Those were killer so I can't imagine even attempting Insanity. I'm glad you two decided to hold off for now, not worth the injury (or injuries!)

@ Rodeo girl - "Losers" not quitters... I love that :)
I decided that when I hit 220 I am going to attempt Insanity again. I am determined to at least start Insanity before this year is out.

@ amandie - yes jumping jacks and any other high impact exercise is out right now. My mind says yes but my knees say nooooo. :stress: I am a bit disappointed but I would rather wait than be injured and unable to do any exercise at all.

opheliaphoenix 03-27-2013 04:25 PM

My weigh-in for the week is 261.0 even. I started JM's 30 Day Shred a couple days ago, and I'm getting nervous about a foretold stall in my weight loss due to water retention and muscle building...so, the next couple weigh-ins might not be stellar, but I will be keeping a close eye on my measurements for "inches lost", as well! Has anyone else tried a program like this and see their weight loss stop for awhile or even show gains? If so, about how long did it stall?
