    My name is Sarah, but you can call me Sarah or Smurf... Don't have a preference!

    From Tampa, EST

    Weigh in day Friday

    Favorite exercise is... Running, cycling, aerobic/step DVDs, tennis... But at the moment I am really out of shape, so I am mostly walking.

    Favorite healthy food is balsamic chicken w/mushrooms, roasted veggies, bananas, watermelon, yogurt w/granola.... I like variety, have you picked up on that yet?? lol

    Struggle with finding time for exercise and giving up wine. :)

    Probably not prepared to be a group motivator at the moment.

    Goal for the week is to win at least one FitBit challenge and lose at least one pound.

    Measurements coming... Probably tomorrow.
