    I'm in! I'll weigh in tomorrow. Lord knows I've been struggling with motivation, but maybe having accountability to you guys will be good :)

    My major fitness goal is to run 1,000 miles in 2014. Yikes!

    AmyMgetsfit - your weight loss is amazing! And I am so happy to hear that this group helped with that!

    i have seen this group and avoided joining as I feared failure. So I will put faith in my goal of consistency and join. Tomorrow I’ll weigh in and post.

    This is my first "challenge" that wasn't just me challenging myself (which hasn't really worked all that well). I'm IN!

    SW: 153 (12/31)
    CW: 153
    GW: 148

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight?

    I love to cycle - and started spinning for the winter months. My goal for December was 100 miles on the spin bike. I far exceeded my expectation - 170 miles "spun" to date! My goal for January is 200 miles - 25/wk.

    I've struggled a little with my weight since starting to work out regularly in September. I have actually gained about 10 lbs, that I swore I would never allow back on! I get lots of great support at home and at work, but all from people that aren't struggling with the same things I am struggling with. I look forward to building some camaraderie here on MFP.

    GO GO January Lose 5 Pounds!!!

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? I am just going to keep pushing myself with the weights, running and cycling. Just hoping to lose the last 10lbs and be able to maintain it for life with the help of healthy eating and daily exercise.
