Slimmer This Summer - June 6th - August 28th

If you have been reading my blog or know me from MyFitnessPal.com , you already know that when it comes to motivation, encouragement and support, I'm all about it. While blog hopping today I came across another Blogger Support Group doing a 12 week challenge called Slimmer This Summer.


I am so in!

Here are my goals for these next 84 Days:

  • In the next 12 weeks I would like to lose a total of 18 lbs. That would bring my weight down to 173 and averages out to 1.5 lb.s per week.
  • In the next 12 weeks I will continue to drink at least 80 oz. of water per day.
  • In the next 12 weeks I will continue on with working out for a minimum of 30 minutes per day, Monday through Saturday. Sunday will continue to be my Rest Day.
  • My beginning measurements are: Waist: 35", Hips: 42.25", Chest: 35", Thigh: 27", Upper Arm: 13.5". My beginning weight is 191 lbs.
  • During the next 12 weeks I will continue to track my caloric intake, exercise and water consumption at www.MyFitnessPal.com and post it here regularly for those who are not members of My Fitness Pal.
  • During the next 12 weeks and beyond I will continue to support and encourage others in the Slimmer This Summer Challenge!

  4. We have the same weight loss goal. :) 18 lbs. That would take me to 177, though.

    I cheer you on and hope the best for all the challengers. It will make me happy come August if we all are totally KILLING IT!:)
