12 WEEK FITNESS CHALLENGE!!! *updated from previous with suggestions!!* GOOGLE FORM TRACKING! START: JAN 12

[slb5683]

@saved071275 So, I'm going to post here as well to state my intentions (also, 1st post in this sub).

By April 6th I want to weight 135lbs (or less) and have finished the Beginner Routine on Body-weight Fitness. I think it's achievable considering I'm already down 45lbs since August.

Well, thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

@saved071275 I'm in! Do I need to do anything else on this thread besides say "fuck yeah I'm in"?

 

[dawn16]

Put your username in the sheet.

 

[dawn16]

I figured it out after I posted. I am not a smart woman...

 

[dawn16]

Naw you were probably just super excited. I almost missed it too.

 

[dawn16]

That too.

@saved071275 Just what I needed - thanks for starting it! Let's gooooo

@saved071275 I know we don't have too much space to write out goals, but remember to make them 'SMART!

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
  
• Realistic
• TTimely

Ex. Lose weight could be: lose X inches or X lbs, get stronger could be: lift weights 3X per week using SL program, eat X calories per day and track daily using MFP. I find it helps give you a realistic plan and pathway forwards rather than just a big scary wall to climb over

@saved071275 when will we post for week one progress? On January 12th? during the week?

 

[sainsaitt]

@kaiser123 Yeah I'm definitely curious about this. I'm not starting until Monday cos I want to be over this cold I have. Coughing up lung bits and whatnot makes working out a little more difficult and gross.

 

[tom9826]

@kaiser123 Hmm. I'm wondering this too. So do we enter our starting point (like weight, measurements, what we are currently doing during our workouts, etc) on the 12th?

 

[kikory]

@tom9826 me three. I thought the exact opposite-that we would update the current week at the end (so the 18th or 19th for the first week) with what we accomplished during the week. OP, you may want to clarify this in the original post so we are all on the same page also, it may read a bit better if you put the week range (12-18, 19-25, etc.) to help.

otherwise I am SUPER excited for this!!!! Great idea and thanks for starting it!!

@saved071275 I love this! I love being able to see everyone's goals, and seeing the people who have similar goals as mine. Also knowing I'm not alone in doing this and getting myself back on track!

 

[xxprojectpatxx]

@saved071275 Allright, signed up but only with goals to improve my shape. I'm not keen on numbers

Will be taking progress pics.

@saved071275 By the way, 12 weeks from the start date of January 12 would be April 6, 2015.

 

[saved071275]

@mjones66 I know that's what's in the spreadsheet, keep scrolling to the right

 

[saidytobias]

@saved071275 This was actually useful. I figured 12 weeks = 3 months = April 12, 2015

 

[biblelinguist]

@saidytobias I thought three months would mean March 12.

I'm not a smart person. Wtf, brain? Hahah. TGIF!

 

[saidytobias]

@biblelinguist Ahahaha we're a special kind of people

 

[mjones66]

@saved071275 Wasn't a critique. Just trying to make it clear to people who don't want to go through the math!
