I am continuing to update this page so keep checking back for more information.
Welcome to our challenge! This challenge is for those who want to get into shape and lose weight by Labor Day. This is a serious challenge so if you join stick with it!

This is a 9wk challenge the start date being the 4th of July but if you are late don't worry about it and get to work. We are here to support, motivate and kick each other into gear.

We will have set challenges and would like you to participate if you are willing and able. This challenge is for everyone of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Some of you may need to kick it up a notch to made it more challenging and others may need to take it a bit slower, don't strain yourself adjust it to where it will work for you.


People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

I believe that motivation is a huge key so I will post weekly motivational goals with I would like to you participate in.

Like I said in the beginning we are a serious group so please don't disrespect us by joining and never taking place or writing in. We aren't all business so just write in and tell us what's on your mind. Interact with others on the board, make friends and buddies. As others motivate you do the same for them and others. We are all in this together, we can all do this together, we will do this all together!

You are also welcome to post tips, recipes, ideas, etc. but please DO NOT post ANY KIND of gimmics or advertise any type of "miracle" diets, pills, etc. We are here to loose weight and get into shape in a healthy and correct manner, we are NOT interested in anything you have to sell so please don't post here and mess up our good karma.

We have a few days until the 4th so lets get everyone in here and ready for that starter pistol start!

Sound off! Every day (if possible) sound off and let us know how you are feeling. Do you just feel like staying in bed all day or do you feel like a million dollars? Is it going to be one of those days where you want to eat everything in the house? Are you happy, sad, mad, etc. Let us know what's going on so we can motivate and help you in the best possible way and make sure you stay on track.

Tobey YOU are funny
I am happy to be your co-captian.

OK im going to jump in. I would like to join you guys.

Goal to walk at least once everyday around my block.
To drink at least 128ozs of water a day
and to lose at least 10 pounds in 9 weeks hopefully more.

I am glad you are joining us Melisa.
WELCOME

Those are GREAT GOALS and very doable.

If you are going to drink that much water you need to make sure you eat. Or your electrolites can become unbalanced which can cause dizziness, headaches and even heart problems.

I drink between 80 - 100 oz a day unless I am really sweating then I drink more. I didn't notice do you live in a hot humid area?

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

Tobey,
meet Milisa. She is new to Buddy Slim so she is at the beginning of her journey.

One of my goals for this 9 weeks is to walk more. With the July 4th walking challenge coming to an end I need something to keep me going.
Now, 10 weeks ago I was walking maybe 3 days a week about one mile at a time, not much for most of you.
That challenge "forced" me to do more. I did not start off so well but I got better. I chose to do the 100 miles (I knew the 150 was too much for me at that time) so I had miles to make up. Today I made the 100 miles, yay me

So, for our challenge here I am going to keep track with a ticker and do my best to make that 150 miles. So, that is a BIG improvement. I have one less week to make it 50 more miles. Cheer me on gals !!


I have to give other things some thought

Tobey, You could probably do 250 miles.

You have come so far girl from not walking or just small amounts to your 4mile walks. I proud of you. Now, if that would just rub off on me
