    I'm in! I think the breakfast challenge is great, since so many people skip it and it's so important not to! As for me ... I am a southern girl, so it's ingrained in me to "break the fast," and I wake up starving pretty much every morning! My real challenge is eating too many of my calories early in the day -- so I'll challenge myself to stay under 500 calories before lunch.

    Thanks, loveme!

    - Mandy

    Ohh, just as I was about to go get breakfast, I check the challenge. Fortunately, I'm on target! Eating breakfast on the days I work early in the morning is never a problem... it's those days that I don't work or work later that I tend to skip.

    Love this one although I certainly do not have a problem eating breakfast so it may be too easy haha

    I already did abs at the gym before I saw this challenge so I'm guessing 40 (which is probably on the low side of what it actually was), I didn't really count today
