    I'm hoping we get some chat and such going this challenge...the lure of new posts helps me to remember to log and post my weigh-ins. Figured I'd kick this off with my personal goal for today: get a damn workout in! Normally, I have to exercise first thing out of bed to make it happen, but that wasn't going to work today. So, my goal is to overcome my natural inertia. What's your goal for today?

    Hi I'm new to this group. My goal was take a progress pic, I hate doing it but always regret not following through. I did do it after training this morning.

    Way to go, KA! I got in a workout, too. A short walk, but 20 minutes at a good clip still beats 20 minutes on the couch.

    @JB - 4 workouts a week sounds like a good target to me. I'll try to get back to that too.

    Umm, ok - I'd like to lose a stone in 12 weeks (more if I can but being realistic) get back to running at least twice a week. And start doing squats! :)

    I see you found it MrsD. Added some guidance for you in there. Next week will be a new thread with "Week 2 Weigh in" in the discussions title. x

    Arrrg! So frustrating when I'm doing solid workouts every day, and staying well under calorie goal, and yet the scale goes up. However, I know for me, DOMS = water retention, so I'm going to take that as a sign that my workouts are being effective and power on.

    Sounds good to me Spambo, just wish my workouts were solid & daily. Looks like I have some catching up to do! You lead, we'll try to catch up and keep up! You ready MrsD? :-)

    The lack of exercise seems to be dragging me down or I should say up :\ My weight is up 2 pounds which I'm surprised isn't more due to lack of movement and not logging. Tomorrow begins a new day & I'm dusting off the treadmill and that crazy exercise ball!

    Gonabfit had asked for one thing we were proud of. I figured I'd post here and see if we couldn't get a little conversation going. I'm proud that, for the last three weeks, I've worked out more days than not. Getting over 50% is pretty rare for me, so I'm hoping this is on its way to being an improved habit for me.
