fun - i'm in!
 

fun - i'm in! my mini goal is 25 pounds by march 4th for a cruise!:D

Just set my goal as 140! Which means a loss of just about 48lbs. Excited to do this!

Aah I have to have new year dinner tomorrow. I hope won't gain too much (whether fat or water) for next weigh in~ :<

I'm in!!

I think I'm in as well. I'm going to add my name to the spreadsheet, but I don't have a weigh-in planned until Wednesday (the 4th). Is it okay if I wait to put my start weight until then?

Hey everyone! Are you looking forward to starting this challenge as much as I am? I'm looking forward to seeing all your Week 1 results!

Can I just note, please if you're going to make some big changes to the spreadsheet can you run it by me first. I spent a lot of time on this spreadsheet being the noob that I am, so it's like my baby! I'm not mad at the changes made, but it would have been nice if the person could have come to me first. But as I sad, I'm not mad, I'm happy with what they've done but in future it would be nice if it can be a joint decision. Thanks!

I'd like to join. I won't be bikini ready either, but I'll be much closer than now! My goal weight is 175. I've added my username, start weight, and goal weight to the spreadsheet. Looking forward to this challenge!

One more day! This week is sort of messy, tho xD Here's to better next week hahaha

Challenge starts TOMORROW! Remember you can weigh in during the week whenever you like, the last day being Sunday. Good luck, I'll be trying to post weekly stats so do your best, this IS a challenge after all ;p

I'm in!

I think I'm actually going to go for a bikini this year, for the first time... almost ever.

The next time I go to Target or the mall I'm going to buy one for inspiration!

Let's Do This.

I'm on this!

Jumping in at the last minute is ok, right?

Ah, I need to get back on the wagon.. between beginning college last september and the holidays I let myself go again - I'm in! :D

It's already 2nd of Jan here and ...I gained! lol ah well, kind of expected, and I should be able to stick better to plan next/ this week :carrot: Good luck on your weigh ins!

Hey ladies!
I just weighed myself after eating brunch - quite pleased with all this so far!
Just a quick question - are there any rules about when/how to weigh?
:D

Hi! I believe we are supposed to weigh-in every week and you just post your weight on the spreadsheet at the beginning of each week. Good luck.

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning before I eat anything! As for the challenge, you can weigh in any day of the week since I know people have different weigh in days. The spreadsheet gives people the freedom to access it when they want in the week. If you don't weigh in for more than 2 weeks, then I will move your data to the stand by sheet, your info is all there you just need to say hello in the forum to get back in the challenge.

OK LADIES, WEEK 1 IS A GO! POST YOUR WEIGHTS WHENEVER YOU DESIRE DURING THE WEEK! CHARTS WILL BE ASSEMBLED ON MONDAY THE 9TH (hopefully!)

WEEK 1 DISCUSSION!
Let's post up some pictures of some of the bathing suits or bikinis you would love to fit into!

urgh tom has sky rocketed my start weight. My goal is the same but it does mean i'll have to lose more. :D

I'm the same supergirl, I'm going to be exercising loads and drinking water like it's going out of fashion and it will no doubt not make a difference until next week!

Hey everyone! Just another update from crazy ol' me. There's a great exercise website called Fitocracy, you log your workouts and receive points for everything you do. When you get more points, you level up! It's like a friendly competitive website, and it's quite addictive.

So I created a group on Fitocracy for any users who want to be accountable for exercise during the challenge. The group is here: http://www.fitocracy.com/group/4702/ - if you want to join the site then I have 9 invites going!

I've got TOM also. yuck! Will still enter my weight though.

I don't know how to post pixs but here is the link of wat swimsuit I want to wear.

I also belong to Fitocracy and can give out 10 invites!

And I really like this one!

Anyone use MyFitness Pal and want to be friends? I'll be using it to work towards my goal. My username is brittneydeanne

I want to join the fitocracy group!!!

But you need an invite code.

Hi ladies! I've got TOM also (ugh). I guess I will just have to work harder this week.

I really love the swimsuits with Bandeau tops like this one:

CaliforniaDreamer - I really love the bandeau style. I want to buy one at the end of this challenge. Hopefully that style is flattering on me.

I'm in too! Let's do this thing.

Thank you Riestrella for setting this up again! I'm so excited!!!

Ladies this is a great way to keep accountable. I lost 20 pounds from July to New years, and I want to do it again for this summer!!

Hey all

I just weighed in and I gained 1lb. Not too bad considering the rubbish food I have been eating.

I also adjusted my target - I am now aiming to lose 25lbs. I went to the gym all of last week and have managed to injure my knee and my hip, my OH thinks I may be trying to run before I can walk - literally! as I went to the gym for over an hour every day last week and walked there and back. I have had issues before with setting goals that are unachievable and then being really hard on myself when I fail. I am hoping a 25lb loss will be alot more realistic and I am stepping down my gym time atleast until my knee and hip are feeling more up to it.

Having said that I have signed up for my first spinning class for tomorrow and am very excited :-)

If you're already on Fitocracy then add me (Riestella) and then you can find the group that way and join yourself! If you need an invite to the site itself, let me know. :)

I need an invite to join the site.

i need an invite. I weighed in at 153 this morning and added it to the spreadsheet.

Got in a good workout (8k walk & pilates class) and stayed on plan with my eating today to get this week started off right! I'm really hoping to lose most of the holiday weight I gained by Sunday.

I've always really liked this bikini:

the spreadsheet looks great.... bikini bods here we come!

darn, I have gained weight so I'm starting at 161.5 :o
I've decided to quit sweets, since they've been sabotaging my weightloss for about a month now!

Yesterday and today have been so awesome! My house is purged of all cookies and treats and today my bf and I went healthy grocery shopping. It sure is great to have him diet with me however, he is 6 foot 6 so he can eat a ton more than I can.

I weighed in at 186 so I'm happy. My boyfriend broke up with me a week ago though so I need to find a new major source of motivation. :( at least I'll look hot and he'll probably gain weight without me bringing him to the gym with me. Hah.

Use the break up as motivation! Just think about how much you can shock him if you lose all the weight you want!
