    I'd SO love to do this! My initial goal is just a little under 30 lbs, but my "secret" goal is closer to 40. Hope I'm not too late!!!

    I would love to fully support everyone in their endeavor to lose 40 lbs, but i realize now, after doing the math that i actually do not have 40 lbs still left to lose! I am 5'10 and am currently 179 and 139 would be about 10 lbs less than where i think my absolute bottom should be because i plan on being quite physically fit by summer, not just "thinner"... with the muscle weight and my height, i dont think 139 would look healthy on me, nor would i be able to preform well on my high-peaks hikes or half-marathon training.... so backing out of the challenge, but rooting you all on!! Here is to a HEALTHY 2011!!!!!!!!! :)

    I was thinking, since so many people are having a hard time finding the weigh-in thread, maybe we can post the link in this thread every week so we an all get to the weigh-in thread quickly..

    Hi All!
    Today (SUNDAY) was my plan to be a DAY OF REST. I asked my husband to lets get out, It is such a beautiful day to do something, but he just wanted to sit in front of the TV & watch football. So I decided to WALK to the beach from our House and back Home, It took me 1 1/2 hours to walk 4.33 miles at 2.9 speed. ( pedometer reading ) I think I walked a lot faster then that, I don't walk that fast on my treadmill & my treadmill reads 3.0 to 3.2. Any way!!!!! yeah I got blisters on the toes, But Boy do I feel exhausted & Hungry LOL.

    I know blah blah blah :wink:
