~*Sweat This Summer 2015 Challenge*~
 

Hello! I've done a number of weight loss spread sheet challenges over the years, one of which is about to end shortly. But for the summer months 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.

Sign up will begin now! Enter your name to the spreadsheet to secure your place :) -->Click Here To Access The Spreadsheet!!<--:)

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 ends Sunday 23rd August!

I'm in! I might change my workout goal. Later to make sure it's both doable but not too easy.

Woohoo! Welcome! Glad to see you sign up :D

I signed up! Hope I did it right, I've not used that app before.

CindyB - You're good to go! Welcome aboard :)

:carrot: I'm in

Sounds fun~ Thanks for starting this!

Glad to see more people join!! Let's do this!

Count me in too! I'll go sign in now!

Thanks Riestrella for starting the challenge.

The challenge has begun!!

How was your first day?

Great! I am pleased that I hit my step goal for the day. More activity than I've done in awhile. I didn't eat so well, but one step at a time for me (ha, no pun intended).

How did you do, Riestrella?

Whenever I get into a slump I always start with exercise first before tweaking my diet, it seems to work well for me! I eventually think "I'm going to reverse all the hard work if I eat like crap" and I naturally start making better choices.

I was the same as you! I went for a 4 mile walk in the morning, it had lots of inclines so felt like a challenge. But my eating was not so good. :( Oh well, there's always the next day!

This sounds great! Would love to join!

Go ahead and add your name to this weeks spreadsheet, week 1 is open for people to add their own info!! If you miss this message then I will add you to next weeks :)

Oh, I was going to weigh tomorrow morning, and it's too late for me to weigh today (I've already eaten). Sorry. I will weigh on Sundays starting next week.

Just put either your starting weight or any weight you've been this week into week 1.

Thanks Riestrella!

I won't be near my scale the next two weeks, so I'll continue using my starting weight. I went ahead and entered it for this week so I don't forget! :-) Maybe after week 4, when I am back home with my scale, I'll be pleasantly surprised. :-)

You're welcome! Are you anywhere nice? Thanks for entering your weight in advance, that helps.

Get your week 2 weights in soon to be counted towards next week's spreadsheet! If you miss your chance to weigh in but still want to participate in the challenge, please let me know in the thread

How's everyone doing?!

Riestrella, thank you so much for starting this thread! It has been so good for me. It has helped me get back to working out consistently.

You're very welcome! I'm so happy to hear that it's worked so well for you! :) You're doing such a great job, keep it up!

The final results are here! Huge congratulations to...

:yay:LovelyLeah!:yay:

LovelyLeah is our Sweat this Summer 2015 winner after losing an incredible 20.5 lbs, which totaled as losing 10.28% of her body weight in just 8 weeks! I'm sure all of us can say a huge well done and WOW! You rocked this challenge.

You guys have done an awesome job on this challenge. This was the first challenge of this kind designed mainly for myself to keep up with exercising over the summer. Thank you all so very much for joining me on this journey, I love running these challenges and getting to know you all better and seeing the incredible progress you made. Even if you didn't lose much weight (I know I didn't) it doesn't matter since we stayed accountable. Let's just admit it, we're awesome!! Join me again next year! Here are the final charts:

i want to be in :)

This challenge is over I'm afraid! Please join my haunting for Halloween challenge that's open now :)
