    Question on daily challenge? Do we report when we have completed it, or just post it like regular exercise? What is an up and down? Thanks

    You will post when you log all your exercises for the day. But please also comment on your exercise post that it included the challenge. As when you log multiple exercises, it combines the cals to say "includes...". So it may not say, 40 up and downs or whichever exercise the challenge was for the day. Also keep in mind that when you are logging these, you may have to create the exercise in the exercise log.

    Hi - My name is Corinne and I'm 39. I want to be skinny (and super healthy) by my 40th birthday in June. I've tried practically every diet known to man and failed miserably. I think I'm more dedicated to learning how and why diets work rather than sticking to the them. I always lose some weight and then pack in right back on. The word diet has now become a "4 letter word" in my home. It's taken some time but I've finally accepted what my mom told me years ago - "You have to eat in moderation and exercise to lose weight". Believe it or not, I only gained 5 pounds when I was pregnant by following my mom's advice. Duh! Should have listened to my mom sooner! I guess that was my "Aha Moment". My ultimate inspiration is my son. He will be 1 in a couple of weeks and I would like to take a few nice pics with him rather than shy away from the camera as I usually do. I'm also planning to be "Hot by Halloween" and "Even Hotter by the Holidays". I love a good challenge and I think I've finally found what I've been looking for all along at MFP. =)

    Did the jumping jacks early this afternoon, drank more than enough water and have stayed under calorie goal. Now can't wait to get up early tomorrow morning to run my extra mile at the park.

    Hey Everyone! I just got assigned to the group today and so Im gonna introduce myself and play a little catch up.

    My name is Bethany. I am 27years old and have 2 precious kiddos. I have been overweight most of my life. I have NEVER been at goal weight. I am currently 208 and want to lose 9lbs this month to put me at 199. That would be...GREAT. I have been married for 2 years and have been over 200lbs the whole time and want to show hubby I can be less. I started in June at 222. I am excited to get involved in this challenge. I think the accountability will be great

    I guess I will start day 1 today and not take Sunday off so I will be all caught up with you guys on Monday.
