Is anyone interested in a Sensational by Summer Challenge?

[butterflydreamin]

Hi everyone,

Is anyone interested in doing a challenge over Spring for the next 13 weeks. I have really enjoyed doing the Spectacular by September challenge and am keen to continue onto another one.

If so, please let me know as I am happy to arrange one.

Happy shrinking everyone

Butterfly

Hi Butterfly, please count me in!! Although from where I am it aint Spring anymore (more like rainy seasons...)

So 13weeks it is.. when do we start?

[Belnatjas]

Hi Butterfly,

Please count me in ... I need to be Summer Sensational by 17th December when I am a bridesmaid. I still have 19kilo's to go.

Cheers,
Belnatjas

Yes please! I have 35kg to lose by January and start tomorrow.

Me too! That should cover me for refeed and maybe even the start of maintenence so will keep me accountable for keeping everything in balance at the end! Will weigh wednesday, but should be about 8kg to go...

[Noddy]

Yes please can you count me in - I weigh on Wednesday, and seriously need to get back on track!

The challenge will start on Thursday 1 September and go until 30 November 2011.

Use your normal weigh in day to start and then have an update weekly. In your first post, make sure that you include your goal. It might be number of kilos, to be a normal BMI, a personal goal or all of the above. For example, my goals will be to lose 15+ kilos, be a normal BMI and have swum in the ocean by the end of the challenge (something I have not done in 16 years!!).

My weigh in day is Thursday, so I will post and if it suits you, you can follow that format.

Here's hoping we have a successful Spring so that we can have a Sensational Summer

Cheers

Butterfly

Hi lovely ladies (I don't think any men have joined us!),

Odette, you are very welcome. Fortnightly weighing is absolutely fine. For anyone who was interested in joining but does not weigh weekly, don't let that stop you. Just weigh in according to your usual schedule, whether that be weekly, fortnightly, 4 weekly or monthly.

I am loving reading our goals too!

Have a good week everyone. Spring is here (for most of us if we are southern hemisphere dwellers) and summer is just around the corner!! For the first time in 16 years, I am not going to dread summer and feel like a failure. I love this program.

Cheers

Butterfly xx

Hi Butterfly,
I didn't realize this started on the 1st! so I'll weigh tomorrow and will be off and running then. Thanks so much for organizing this - I know I'll be in great company

I'll weigh on thursdays too (do my home weigh and measure on sundays, but I'm happy to weigh twice a week)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Lesley
