Fitness Challenge

Now that the Thanksgiving holidays are over, I can now begin my weight lost journey. For the past year I been really struggling with losing weight (or maintaining a weight for that matter). But this time will  be different because I am determined and motivated. I also now have a diet and workout buddy, my mother (There's nothing like family bonding lol). My goal is to lose 30 lbs by my birthday which is January 28. I know a lot of you are going to say that it's unhealthy to lose that amount of weight in such a little time, but my response to that is if I'm doing it the right and healthy way, I see no problem with it. For the first week to help jump start my weight loss, I will be on a 1,200 calorie diet eating mainly fruits, veggies, and unprocessed food. For my exercise routine, I will go running 3 days out of the week. On the days I don't run except Sunday (my rest day), I will get on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes going as hard as I can. I also will be doing the plank challenge (http://improveyourfemalecurves.com/2012/06/08/the-4-weeks-plank-challenge-for-a-flat-belly/), the brutal butt workout (http://improveyourfemalecurves.com/2011/10/19/sample-vid-on-my-brutal-butt-workout/), and the upper body toning workout (http://improveyourfemalecurves.com/2012/09/26/toning-upper-body-workout-free/). I will be keeping you guys updated with my results every Tuesday with my weekly results so stay tuned and wish me luck.
P.S. If anyone have any advice or tips you think I can benefit, please don't hesitate to comment below.
