August Challenge?
 

My goals: *starting on August 1st*

1) Also part of the no stepping on the scale challenge so I can't step on the scale all August

2)Want to lose 10lbs. by the end of August.

3)Drink more than 2.2 liters of water a day.

4)*JUST ADDED! Drink no more than one glass of diet soda a day. Or none at all but the max is one glass.
::rumdum starts drinking all the d. soda she can b4 august 1st!::

Hi there. I'd love to jump on into this challenge. My august goals are as follows:

-Walk 15 miles a week.
-Try to get in 8 glasses of water a day (This is hard for me to do)
- Get below 145 lbs for when I return to college Aug. 31st.
- No cheating! No alchohol, etc.
- Do yoga/stretching/pilates through out the week. (4x)

I think that's it, although I may add to or modify as I go along. I'll do an official weigh in August 1st.

I'm In....

Hi everyone and welcome to the challenge. Glad to see lots of people interested it in! I'll be back August first for an official weigh in. :)

Yay ::claps hands:: This is great! I thought no one would reply because there are so many other challenges going on that people are already doing that to start a new challenge would be ridiculous!

We can check in every week *or more for those who want to - I know i'll check in more than once a week*

We can check in every SUNDAY *that's the 1st day in August anyway*

But if you cheat or you need encouragement - come into this thread any time and let us know!


And instead of a long list of posts... just edit the ones you have above so it's easier for everyone to read*

I'm in!

1) exercise atleast three times per day for 30 mins.:thup:
2) drink my eight glasses or more.
3) fit back into my jeans from last year!:D
4) walk while kay is at cheer practice.
5) lose atleast 10 lbs. (I am stuck right now...ggggrrrrr).
6) try not to eat too many allowed lc snacks (the recipes from here are sooooo good!).:yum:
7) I agree with rumdum with the scale thing....no scale just measurements!
8) to not go overboard on vacation!;)

Good luck to all of us!!!:wave:

Yup!
 

Count me in! My mountain-climbing vacation starts September 6, and I am motivated to make some progress, including weight loss and fitness gains!

My goals:

1. Lose 10-15 pounds during August. (Since I'm starting at my top weight, I don't know what to expect. This challenge will begin before I enter into my second week of Induction!)
2. Drink 64 ounces of water every day (real water, not decaffeinated wet stuff)
3. Continue weight-bearing split (e.g., 4 days; Wednesdays off)
4. Start something aerobic
5. No snacking when Induction officially ends (8/10); this means no nuts!
6. Eat only real food, which means protein, cheese, eggs, oils, and vegetables.

I'm in
 

Hello everyone,

Count me in on this challenge. I've been really unmotivated for the past month, lot's of drinking and eating whatever I feel like. August is a new start for me. For one I start my marathon training. I am running a marathon in Hawaii on December 12th! Well I've signed up for it, booked the flight and hotel so I better get my (jiggly) bum in gear :agree:

My goals for August are:

1) Drink 8 glasses of water a day.
2) Stop cheating and eating whatever I feel like.
3) Don't miss any of my scheduled running days
4) Lift weights twice a week

Hopefully the results of the above will help me meet my last goal

5) Fit into all the clothes I bought for my trip last Dec. (Since then I have packed on 10 pounds! )

Good luck everyone. I have a good feeling about this challenge! I will check back in on Sunday to post stats. Are we tracking measurements...weight?

OK - me too
 

This is it! I am determined to make this scale move in August.

My goals:

1. first week of August - a clean induction (1 week)
2. weight lifting 2x week
3. aerobics 4x week

LOSE 10 pounds!!!!!

Thank God someone started an August Challenge...

I was doing the July Challenge, but summertime in Chicago brought about a million festivals and parties, and I admit, I was a bit weak (Okay really weak) and didn't follow atkins at all during the last three weeks !

This month, I am ready to commit to the challenge!
I am determined to

1. Run three miles four times a week
2.Lift weights two days a week.
3.Take at least one dance class a week.
4.Not use the fact that there are no carbs in certain foods to snack on them... and snack on them... and snack some more!
5.Follow a less dirty induction (notice I didn't make it to clean yet? hehe diet soda and vodka get me every time) and not eat any atkins snacks
6.Acheive all of these goals while not being anal and beating myself up over any slight transgression
7. Loose more than ten pounds


Yeah!! I'm so excited, I'm cheating and getting a head start by beggining today (July 29th)

I'm in. I did the July challenge and that really helped keep me on track. Hope to do the same for August.

Goals:
Walk 3 miles/day for 6 days.
90 oz. of water/day.
Lose at least 10 lbs & one pants size.
Limit carbs to 20g/day
No pop, coffee, or frankenfoods.
