Wanna be awesome (in some cases, awesomer?)

Wanna do it by August?

Then we’ve got the challenge for you!

 

Introducing the Awesome by August Weight Loss Challenge!  This 4 week challenge is being hosted over at Katdoesdiets, with parts hosted by myself, and Brooke: Not On A Diet!  The premise is simple, see who can lose the largest percentage of weight (healthily!) by August!

Here are the official rules (courtesy of katdoesdiets): 

  • Open to anyone in the USA (International folks can participate in the fun, but aren’t elligible for the prizes due to shipping costs. Sorry!)
  • 4 weeks long, starting Friday July 9th, ending August 6th
  • Must email me your weigh in pic every Friday by midnight my time (mountain time). katdoesdiets@gmail.com then official weigh ins will be posted the following Mondays
  • Must use the same scale every week (try for the same time of day too)
  • Picture must show a piece of paper with date written on it
  • If you miss a weigh in week you can still participate in the fun of the challenge, but aren’t eligible for prizes
  • Focus is on healthy weight loss, not crazy antics. Healthy eating and working out is encouraged. Pills, severe calorie cutting, etc isn’t allowed.
  • If you don’t want your weight posted say that clearly in each email weigh in, I will simply post your percentage and not your pic or weight, but you have to be willing to email me your weigh in pic for tracking.
  • Highest percentage of weight lost from start weight of challenge will determine winners
  • Everything here is of course on the honor system, there’s no way to police it all, but I know everyone will be honest, cuz you’re all so awesome!

Please visit her site if you’d like to sign up, and for additional information.  You can also follow the #awesomebyaugust hashtag on twitter.

If you’ve been struggling recently (as A LOT of people seem to have been), I think this will be a great way to get our asses into gear.  So best of luck ya’ll!
