Is anyone interested in a Sensational by Summer Challenge?

[butterflydreamin]

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone interested in joining a nice long challenge? I ran one last year and it was really good when I was on my long weight loss journey.

How does it work?

You identify and share some personal goals - it can be personal or weight related.

You record how much weight you hope to lose during the challenge.

You record your start weight at the start of the challenge and update it each week.

The challenge will run from Saturday 1 September 2012 until Friday 30 November 2012.

It is about having a successful Spring so you can be Sensational during Summer!

If you are interested in signing up, please let me know by the beginning of September.

There is no mangos to claim, just smaller bodies!

Cheers

Butterfly

Hello Butterfly!!

can i make my goal to maintain my weight this summer, so I can stay beautiful for summer please??

I'm about to start refeed and need to still have mini goals to keep me on track once I step into Maintenance

Thanks, EJ xo

[justakiwig]

yes i'm interested i'll think of some goals and report back

just

[aussueeater]

Yes, I'd like to do this.it should see me beyond refeed into maintenance!
Goals : under 70kg, then on program whilst on a weekend break ( with very boozy friends!), then under 65 kg, Finding an amazing dress for my 50th birthday party...and staying on program!, then under 60 and onto refeed...maintenance. Then celebrating my birthday whilst maintaining the new me!
Whew, I hope time flies by fast!

[*BAM*]

Yep count me in... I have 10kilos to lose... ready and raring to go!

[Rochy]

Can I be the same as EJ? Refeed is not that long away but this would be great incentive in maintenance! Or would you prefer it was weightloss related?

[Collie]

Well, me too on the refeed and maintenance front. With a bit of luck, I'll be doing refeed during this time, and it'd be good to get into something tangible during this period. Will have to think up some goals......they'll be more than likely clothes related.....like being back to my size 6-8, and staying there!!!!!

[Dezzy]

Would love to join you! Will think about my goals and let you know. Its my tenth wedding anniversary in October and my fiftieth in January so lots of incentive to look gorgeous!

[butterflydreamin]

Hi there,

I think that the maintenance part is perfect - welcome aboard.

After some bad news I received this afternoon, I will be joining too to get rid of my weight that has crept up.

It would be great to have lots of people join in - anyone is welcome - whether you be on plan, on refeed or in maintenance.

Great response so far

I would love to join the challenge. Hopefully I will be on the refeed or maintenance during this period.
Getting into a size 8 pants would be a great goal. we are also going away in the summer and hoping to wear a costume on the beach without shorts and a t-shirt.

Yes please I'm in. I will think about my goals and let you know.

[Winterboots]

I'd like to join up, definately weight as a goal, but I'll think of some other things too

[mcbell]

I would definitely like to join with maintenance of weight/reducing body fat as one goal, and some other decluttering, and creative goals. I think a challenge like this will be helpful in getting me to focus. Please do count me in.

I will be away on a wee mini-break on the 1st of September, but back on the 5th. Will endeavour to state my goals before then.

[ej_nz]

Noice McBell for mini break!!!

Sorry to hear Butterfly you had some bad news...hugs to you for that xoxoxo

I am really looking forward to summer this year...no tunics/jeggings/leggings/cardigans to cover me up this year!!!

[Amz1989]

Ooo im def keen to join in this going to go with the goal of 12kg in that time frame. Also be closer to getting into our first home as goal number 2.

YAY!

[mcbell]

One of my goals will be to wear and feel confident in a singlet once the warmer weather hits! I have never worn a singlet by itself in public as an adult - gotta tone those triceps!

[aussueeater]

Hi everyone.......the advantage of this longer challenge, is that it helps us in developing our "new" life eating style. That is, not just a quick challenge to stay "good" and lose a bit of weight.....but it looks like most of us will be concentrating on maintaining! Best wishes for a fun time!!!

[feemonic]

I would like to join this challenge also.
Will report back with my goals on this one.
Ok have thought about my goals on this one and I would really like to lose at least 14kg in those 12 weeks. And I would love love love to be able to get those orange lee jeans that I bought actually up my legs. Tommy's birthday is the 30th of November so would love to be able to send him a pic of me in those jeans. (orange is his fave color and for some strange reason he keeps having a dream where I turn up on his doorstep wearing either white jeans and orange tank top, or white tank top and orange jeans. Kinda strange really that those are the colors I have bought and they are the colors he keeps dreaming of. lol. Guess we are still very much in tune with each other)
They are a 28 inch waist so I guess I have to have a goal of losing at least 12 cm from my waist also. Now that may be a bit of an ambitious goal, so a mini goal will be to get my new white levi's size 10 to do up also. That one may be a bit more realistic.
But either way its gonna all be good.

Ok my goal is to be in the "overweight" BMI (as opposed to the "obese" where I have spent many years).
