In the last several years a group of us have often got together to do challenges or accountability threads to help us achieve our goals. Sometimes these are just after New Year's for resolutions, sometimes in the middle of the year to get ready for summer, but we have all got together to help each other reach our goals and also give us something to lose if we don't achieve our goals. This year I would like to run one in remembrance of Rocket3015, one our beloved lost brothers here on AM. He was one of the nicest, most positive and kind people on the board. His generosity was unmatched and just an all around good man! He was often involved in all of my challenges and accountability threads. So in order to keep his memory and positive influence alive I wanted to dedicate this one to him, and all of us agree to donate to the charity of his family's choosing. @sns8778 will be in contact with the family to find out what charity he would have wanted us to donate to in his name.
The rules of this thread are simple, there is going to be a $50 commitment to participate, and the donation doubles to $100 if we do not meet our goals as an additional accountability payment. The payments will be at the end of the challenge so you have a little time to save up if needed. This both gives us something to lose but also allows us to be helping others whether we reach our goals or not by having the initial buy in. This will be a good way to help us reach our goals and also do something positive in Rocket's memory.
Goals should be measurable and specific with a specific time frame and deadline. If weight loss, or gain is the goal you should put your target weight by this date, if strength related then there should be something we can verify like a specific goal, like lift this much for this many reps by this date.
As an example, this is my goal, and entry.
Kleen's Goal = Weight Loss - Current Weight 213 - Target Weight 200 or below on or before 3/31/25
I hope many of you will want to get in on this. It is a great way to have a group of people supporting your efforts and also helping to hold you accountable for reaching your goals. Plus we all get to help others with this benefitting a nice charity and remembering one of our own!
