    I am going to do 300 =) Thanks for the challenge!

    Ambitious!

    lol! Just a bit! I have been doing 500 crunches every other day, and it is really paying off! Today is my off day, but I really want to challenge myself.

    But, you will see ZERO extra ambition on push up day, lol! They are not my fav.

    Wow! 500! Do you just do regular crunches or do you mix them up with bicycle, reverse, etc? I don't mind crunches and could see myself doing something like that!

    Ambie - I started out doing regular, and now I do mix in as many different types as possible. I love crunches. I actually forgot how much I love doing them. And they work! I wore a tight little black dress with NO SPANX last night for the first time in three years. I was thrilled =)

    I'm in - put them on my google calendar, since MFP mobile doesn't let you check message boards. Thanks for posting several days' worth in advance for those of us mainly using the mobile app!

    SW: 230 - after 2 week vacation where I didn't log food, and didn't gain a pound back. Want to lose another 75#!

    Still trying to catch up on jumping jacks. Have 20 done so far. Hoping to get the crunches in too today.

    Are we doing a weekly weigh in or just doing it at the end of the month?

    weekly, but if you want to do every other week or the end of the month that is fine!
