    Blew through my goal last month on this challenge - I'm excited to keep up the progress! Increased my calories a bit this week because I don't want to lose TOO fast... I'll be tweaking it as the month goes on. Here's hoping I don't stall because of it!

    I have decided that this month I will try to post my daily progress on the goals that I set for myself this month. I have been struggling to reach my goal. I want to be able to reach my goal weight which is 150. I have also been struggling in waking up early to exercise I do not like to exercise after work. I was exercising in the morning which helped me have energy through out the day.

    I want to get in shape so that I can run a half-marathon and lose some weight this year! Last year I had lost over 40 lbs, but during the winter I gained back 20...so I would like to lose it + some again! I know it takes a while to form a habit, so I want to challenge myself to get into the routine of working out regularly and eating a reasonable amount of junk! I don't have any friends on MFP yet, so if your focus is getting in shape and you want to friend me, feel welcome to :)

    Hi, my name is Carla and I have been a member of MFP for about 3 years. In the first 18 months, I lost 99 pounds. I could not reach that 100. Then I started to slack off and in the last 18 months I put 46 of those pounds back on. I need to get back on track and I know challenges help me to do that. I am in another challenge, but the more the merrier.
