    Yep, please add me in this one too ! It will continue to make me accountable. Love this idea !

    1) Loose at least 10-15lbs more
    2) walk/run at least 5 miles a day, 6 times a week ( already at 5 days a week, so this will be good to push me)
    3)Another 15 inches off my frame.
    4)Eat more fiber daily ! I suck at this one =(
    5)Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night. - this will be the hardest, believe it or not.

    Each day that I do not do 2,4,&5 I will put $10.00 in a "goal jar". All money in said jar will be donated to our local food pantry. However, If I do end-up achieving steps 1 & 3, I get $100 bonus. ~ which I will still prolly end-up donating to the local food pantry =)
    Thanks !!
