So my Sizzling for Summer challenge is almost over, but there's a lot of summer ahead of us to stay trim! So I decided to try something new as a little experiment. This challenge is about tracking your weight AND your workouts. Each week you set your own fitness goals; whether it's minutes, miles or days, then you weigh in each week and your weight will automatically be sent over to a weigh in chart. You can still treat this like a normal weight loss challenge if you want to keep it simple, simply enter your weights each week without setting yourself a fitness goal.
I've filled out my information as an example of what it will look like. If you don't want to track your workouts, then enter "No Goal" in the "Workout Goal" and treat this like another weigh in challenge!
Each week a new Sheet will appear (please look at the tabs on the bottom of the spreadsheet to navigate) and your name and previous weight will be carried over automatically. You just have to enter your new goal for the week and that's it! It sounds more confusing than it is.
I hope you will join me in making this summer a fitness and weight loss extravaganza! Weight loss isn't about getting to a goal before a certain event, but a continuous effort, so just because you didn't make it to a goal you had in mind for summer doesn't mean you can't keep going! Let's make this summer a summer to remember as the one where we kicked so much a$$!
Sign up's will be semi-closed after Week 1 begins, this doesn't mean you can't enter the challenge once it's begun - just come into the thread and say you want in and I will enter your name onto the current weeks spreadsheet!
The Challenge will begin on Monday 29th June and end Sunday 23rd August!

I'm so in! I'm thrilled you did this; in fact, I was going to ask you if there were any challenges that were similar to Sizzling for the rest of summer, but you beat me to it! The thread has been super helpful, so I'm stoked! Let's do this!
kahaney - Glad to have you! The reason I made this one is because I really wanted somewhere to track my workouts, so I'm so happy people will be joining me!
keto - Woohoo! Thanks for joining this one too!
LovelyLeah - The 20-somethings threads always tend to be the most chatty I find! I hope people find it useful in other areas too though.
I'm signing up as a "maybe". I definitely want to keep tracking my exercise, but I'm currently trying to just maintain my weight and I have a move coming up so we'll see what actually happens.
But, it's better to set myself up to achieve, right?
Love the concept behind this one! Thanks, Ries!

NNS - Just so you know, the goals are weekly goals, so I'm guessing you're not intending to do 80 miles in a week!! You can change your workout goal depending on how busy you are, or even say you have no goal .
Chelain - Welcome! I hope we can inspire you to keep going!
