Awesome by August!

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 9^th, ending August 6^th
• 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!
