Here in Montreal, January and February are dreary and tiresome. It's DARK and COLD. It's hard to get up in the morning, let alone eat well and exercise!

WELL that just WON'T DO.

Folks, summer may be months away, but that leaves us plenty of time to get our butts into gear so that we feel HOT in our suits this summer!

Anyone with me?


So what are your goals for this summer?

I must confess that I've never worn a bikini before. Not even when I was a little girl, and so that is my goal! I'll be in one as of July 1st!!

I was thinking of a wild blue one...

I'm with you! I want to be in the 140's by summer. Here's to hot bathing suits!!!

[BeautyandtheBeast]

Hey,
I am totally with you. It's cold and dark where I am too and covered in snow so my exercising is not what it could be but I really want to be thin and sexy come summer. I totally agree - I will be in a bikini on 1st July - that is my pledge to myself!
We can so do this!

I'm in!!!

This summer (the end of July) will be my 1 year anniversary of starting, and I really plan on being at goal by then. I know it seems like alot... it is. But even if I get CLOSE, i'll be happy

[DivineFidelity]

I don't really have a number goal, but I know I could be at least close to goal by then...and I'd LOVE to be able to wear a cute swimsuit (dare I say bikini? I've never even IMAGINED wearing one...lol) and feel confident in it.

For me right now, I guess that means that I'm going to need to start exercising...because if I lose the rest of this weight without toning at all, I'll be all loose and flabby, and I'll never feel comfortable in a slightly revealing swimsuit. SO...my goals are to up my exercise and up my water intake so that I can look as good as possible this coming summer! =D

im with you!!! my goal for the summer is to be less than 200, wear a cut bathing suit preferably a bikini or tankini, and to be able to go on rollercoasters since i haven't been on one like in 10 yrs cuz of my weight!!!

[Wild Vulpix]

Sadly I doubt I'll get a bikini body by--or even during--summer HOWEVER, I would like to get my body in acceptable enough condition to go out in a bathing suit without fear! If I could lose 25lbs between now and June... I'd be sooo happy! Five months to lose 25lbs... think I can do it?

[LiN]

I'm definitely in! I hope to be in the 130s by then.

There is a new Victoria's Secret opening in West Edmonton Mall and I hope to look smokin' in those tiny bikinis =)

[Mickeypnd]

Well this is a wonderful thread!!!

If anyone hasn't heard about that wonderful snow storm that hit just about everywhere I live in Dreary ohio and we gots lots of snow. yeah.
but I would like to be down 25 lbs by then so here's to hoping!!

[kuhrisuh]

DivineFidelity, I'm with you on the exercising.. I haven't worked out since before Thanksgiving so I'm ready to get going again!!

Wild Vulpix, I think you most definitely can!


And ohhhh bikinis. I haven't been swimming (in an outdoor pool) in SO LONG . I get way way way too self conscious. I'd like to go SWIMMING in the SUN - and if I can do it in a 2 piece, well then that would make it even better!

[CurvaceousCutie]

i live in ohio too, and we have alot of dreary days here lol

[sgregg]

I'm in! I have NEVER felt comfortable in a swim suit. I would love to not feel ashamed of how I look...mainly my legs. My thighs are horrible. So...here's to getting in bathing suit shape by the 1st of July!!!

[pavvie]

I'm in!! I'm shooting for goal by summer. Yeah, I lose very slowly... definitely a journey and not a race for me I'd love to feel comfortable in a two-piece, which I have never been able to do.

Lin: I looooove Victoria's Secret bathing suit line!! I'd love to be sporting one on the beach this year.

Mickey and Cutie: I am also in NE Ohio... UGH!! Moving here has given me a new appreciation for the phrases "lake effect" and "wind chill", lol

[cupcakesundae]

I have summer on my mind, too. Last summer was horrible for me as I was at my highest weight ever and felt gross. I was ashamed to take my daughter to the pool and it sucked. I want this summer to be totally different. I'll never rock a bikini again because of stretch marks but if I could be confident in a cute tankini w/ some teensy little Roxy boardshorts and flip flops... omg. It would be divine. :P

[kristilinn13]

I'm totally in!!! Especially after this last week when we barely topped 0 degrees for a high.... and my hometown was the coldest place in the WHOLE COUNTRY!!!! In a perfect world, I'd like to be 145--which would be a normal BMI and mean losing 1.72 pounds a week. So that would be amazing!! But I will play it safe and say 155, which means a BMI of 26.6 and 1.32 pounds a week! Summer here we come! Be ready
