The "Sexy By Summer" Challenge will be coming to an end in about a month. I think another challenge through the end of the year would be a good thing, especially for a few of us who didn't fair as well in this challenge as we would've liked, namely me.



Any suggestions for a new challenge are welcome.

I don't really know a good Name but I for one would like something to help keep me accountable throughout the end of the year. My goal is to reach my 'GOAL WEIGHT' By December 25th. However, I have smaller goals in the meantime. sooooo...thats my input... I'm game for anything!!!

I'll have to come up with another really good name...



*escapes to a corner to ponder*

I'm sooo not creative when it comes to stuff like this... sorry i'm not that much help. You can bounce ur ideas off me tho????

First rule in the new challenge is that you can not lose your scale.

As long as I don't have to move abruptly during the next challenge, I won't.









And what if the scale doesn't want to be found? Hmm?

i cant think of a name but i would like to participate and i think it should include or have it be optional: body fat measurement-people dont have to post what their bf is if they dont want (it may be private)but they can say if it went up or down and by what percent.

IF you don't say what your BF% is, then there is no way to really monitor that or even for CK to report it.

I'm not real creative about this naming stuff either, but here are some ideas...maybe they'll inspire some better ideas from someone else. LOL



"Knockout by New Year"

"Crazy by Christmas"

"Yowza by Yuletide"

"Healthy New Year"

How about "Fit for the Holidays" challenge?



I've set myself a goal in October '08 to reach my ideal weight. 3 months ago... i think it was set at August '08... oh well.



It would be nice if before the holiday season (Thanksgiving and X-mas for me), I've reached my goal weight. It'd be fun to see the reaction of some of my relatives whom I don't see often. Plus, I'd like to give myself a shopping spree as a x-mas gift.



So, 5 to 6 months from now... will I be fit or fat for the holidays?

My first post. I've been trooling around this place for a little over a month and watching this group and the Wii group the most. I like to say first that you guys keeping up in posting has been extremely motivational for me. Making me log in every day even if I am not logging my weight, diet, and excersize like I should it reminds what I am or am not doing right that day.



So much that I bought the "biggest loser book" due to having no clue on the show to see what it's all about. I have never counted calories before just went from fad diet to fad diet or diet pill. (most lbs lost on slim fast and I was miserable)



So my family is coming in October here in PA from Oregon and we have only seen them once in 4 years. The last time people took pictures and I was mortified. Now Mom has not only lost about 50lbs on Nutri System but also is taking photography classes. I would love to be apart of whatever challenge you guys think up. Hot by Halloween would be great for me.



Anyhoo...Hi to all and thank you so much for your posts to help get me started so far.

fred- you could ck what your initial bf (for his eyes only) and then report it by saying up 1% , down 1%, or you could just report it if you are comfortable doing that. unless someone else has another suggestion. it doesnt even have to be part of the contest, it could just be for accountability purposes. do you have any suggestions on how this could work fred?

ivie-cute names. very creative. my fav is knockout by new year!!



welcome stinky? is that your name? cute name-hot by halloween. congrats on making the steps to join traineo and make changes in your life.



drew-welcome and good luck with your goals as well!

Maybe you can start a separate challenge just to track BF %. I don't think CK will also be tracking the BF % in a weight loss challenge, since everyone will not be doing it. IF a challenge is put together, it has to be that whoever wants to join the contest, will have to be able to monitor it and report the actual BF % #s.

I don't keep up with my BF on a weekly basis. I feel that it's kinda inaccurate to do it that often. I shoot for once a month or every other month.
