While tweeting Thursday night, my friend Fadra (@AllThingsFadra) asked “Let’s see how happy you are with the way you are. Fill in the blank. I would like to lose _____ pounds. GO!” And this tweet started a bunch of ladies that are going to the Type A Parent conference in June to start talking about losing 15 lbs by June 23rd, the first day of Type A.
Are you going to Type A Parent Conference? I will be there with baby Lucy, she will be 6 months at the conference. I’d love to meet ya! If you are going and want to join us, just grab the button and write up your intro post and link up below! Even if you don’t want to lose 15 lbs – maybe you just want to shed 5-10 lbs to fit better in a particular pair of jeans or you want to improve your workout regimen – improving your lifestyle is more fun with friends, so join us! (before pics are totally optional)
Ideas for your intro: Who you are, what your goals are, why you have those goals, how you will reach them!
And friends, as you are tweeting throughout the day, use the hashtag #15byTypeA to encourage each other and even vent your frustrations. My most common one will probably be increasing my water intake. I just can’t figure out how to drink more, but I am going to try!
I’m gonna type up my intro post – please do yours, grab the button and let’s get healthier before Type A!
My Intro Post
I’m Annie. I gave birth to baby Lucy on December 14th of last year. She is the youngest of three kids, and my oldest is going to be 4 years old in June. I was almost down to my goal weight last year when I discovered I was pregnant. I am currently working really hard to lose all my excess and unhealthy body fat. According to BMI charts, my healthy weight range at 5’4 is 120-135. I am currently 149 lbs, so I don’t have very far to go!
I have already joined weight watchers online who also recommended me new weight loss pills, I just need to track my points better. I hope that joining this group of ladies will encourage me and give me the kick in the pants I need to count my points better and stay more active. Calories in, calories out!
I also did checked out online about the fast weight loss pills, I did find some. But what struck me is the Alpilean weight loss pills, For any other information you want to know about them you can search the recent post they did “Alpilean reviews Geeks Health“.
I am going to post a new challenge every Thursday. Let’s check in here once a week to see how we are all doing. On every #15byTypeA post I will put a new challenge for you to do in real life. This week, introduce yourself and start drinking more water! Come back in a week and let me know if you succeeded in drinking at least 8 cups, or 64 ounces of water every day!
I can’t wait to see you all in June and rejoice together in our mutual accomplishments! We can do this!
What if I am not going to Type A Con?
You can still join! I have a button for you too. In your intro post this week, put what goal you are trying to make and how you are going to reach it. And don’t forget to drink that water this week – I’ll be asking about it next week!
I’m not goin to typea but want to lose 15 by the end of June for my vacation! Good luck all!

Great challenge Girl! I know you will make it.
I often use BlogHer in the summer as my target date to finally drop some pounds but I’m starting earlier this year.
Janice will be at TypeA, but sadly I won’t be. But I’m still trying to get fit. My goal is to drop about 10 pounds…. but mostly to tone.
I’m so excited! I may just write about it today. Then, you know, I HAVE to make good on it!!

I am also a new follower!
Okay. I’m officially in. Added my post link but it won’t go live until tomorrow morning. We can do this, right??
I’m in! 🙂
I am in! I wrote a post that won’t go live until tomorrow….but I am so in on this.
I recently started running, and my goal is not necessarily to lose weight (though it would be nice), but to still be running by Type-A Con. I originally was not going to join thinking this was about weight loss, but after seeing this post I’ve decided to join late, if only to get to know everyone better before type-A con. Good luck with your goals!
I read this post completely about the comparison
of latest and earlier technologies, it’s awesome article.
