This is a one month challenge. I decided to start this because it's a month till the summer! I know a lot of us have summer goals. Let's try to ramp this up by making a challenge.

We'll have till May 30th to reach your goals. Hold on, Shannon, a month is really short! How will I reach a goal in a month?!? Pssssh.

In a month, you could:
-Start a new healthy habit(it takes a month to make a habit according to a couple things I read this week)
-Get back on plan
-lose 4 pounds(1 pound a week)
-lose 8 pounds(2 pounds a week)
-start c25k program
-add more exercise into your plan
-add 100 extra steps into your life every week/day
-lose a pants size perhaps
-And much more!

If you are up to the challenge, head the call. Simply reply with your starting stats, goals, pictures and check in on this thread periodically.

I know you can do it! Good luck!

*Disclaimer: A month will not grant you 20, 40, 50, 99 pounds of weight loss. Please be healthy and realistic when trying to achieve your goals. This should be fun and safe.*

My starting weight: 218.7
My goal: Get back on plan and to fit into a pair of 16 shorts and fit into a large shirt comfortably
My measurements: (all in inches)
Arm: 13.5
Ribcage: 35
Waist: 39.5
Hips: 51.5
Thigh(at fullest point): 27

I haven't measured myself for months but that's horrible. Last time I checked my ribcage and waist was equal. *dies*

These are the size 16s I got yesterday at Cato's. These were bought just to get me on plan. ^_^ If I make it, this will be the shortest pair of shorts I've owned ever. I just hope that I am comfortable enough with my legs to wear them!

My goals are to
1) drink 48oz of water, Just Water!!! per day
2) loose 8 lbs.
3) get 1200 min exercise total

Hmmmm.... let me see. I think I will add 3 hours on the treadmill a week.

I exercised two times yesterday and stayed within my points. ^_^ Good start.

Great idea !

My goals are:
1) Loose 7lbs
2) Exercize an average of 5x/week

my goals:
1) STAY ON PLAN.
2) Keep drinking 128 oz of water a day (a gallon - NO SODA!)
3) Actually exercise. (stop procrastinating!)
4) Lose 8 lbs.
5) Gain the courage to get some measurements..Ugh.

Measurements shouldn't be that hard. Since you're working on it, they will go DOWN down downnnnnnn soon.

I have to lose up to 8 pounds, but more than 4 pounds! I am stuck right now aroung 223-221 and i want to break into the 2 teens!

I want to get out of my rut... i seem to have been stuck for 2 weeks
Goal #1-Lose 5lbs
Goal #2-Instead of wearing my baggy size 19 pants buy the 17's and feel good in them
Goal #3-Exercise 5 times a week... not 4 or 3

I've exercised 2 times today but ate bad. Overall, a good day, I think, considering I started my TOM.

did 45 minutes on the treadmill last night, only 2h and 15 minutes to go yet this week.

I am in. My goals for the month of May:

lose 4 pounds
plan and log my food daily
meditation daily
stretches and movement 2x day - five days a week

My starting weight is 201.

Ok I need this!!

Goal is to be under 214 by the end of may.

and to do strength training class 2x a week

Well here we go to a healthier us!!
