This sounds like fun since I love Christmas and it will work as a holiday countdown too!0

YESS! so happy to be part of this challenge. Generally I am the most unhappy in the winter, despite all the wonderful holidays. I gain weight and hate myself in all the family pictures, so this year I can't wait for it to be different! I want to look great in Christmas pictures and working out will hopefully help beat the blues that I sometimes experience due to the dark weather and cold.0

Good challenge idea, I would like to be well on the way to my goal weight before I see my family at Christmas. Feel free to add me 0

During the fall and winter I tend to pack on the pounds. And I get annoyed with the beginning of the new year, getting healthier is being promoted as a new years resolution, then the spring you have to have a summer ready body. No I want to CONTINUE being healthy so I don't have a crunch time for the body i want. So yeah I'm joining!0

Really looking forward to this challenge! Christmas here we come!0

I will be doing a mish mosh of activities throughout the challenge because I get bored quickly. Here are some of the things I will be doing:
Bob Harper Kettlebell Cardio Shred (LOVE!!! better than JM30DS)
Elliptical
Treadmill
Walk/Run
100's workout - see below
100 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
90 Crunches
80 Squats (With or without weights)
70 Leg Lifts (Floor and/or Hanging)
60 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
50 Crunches
40 Squats (With or without weights)
30 Leg Lifts (Floor and/or Hanging)
20 Jumping Jacks (Wide arms- works chest)
10 Minute Walk/Run/Jog (any cardio...run in place...NO EXCUSES)
Take 5 Stretch and Breathe!
• Floor and hanging leg lifts can be done using a 5lb medicine ball for more advanced workout.
• Don't use too heavy a weight when doing weighted squats. Back should remain erect and knees don't go over toes. Too heavy a weight compromises form which causes injury.
• Wide arm jacks - hold your palms out facing forward instead of overhead jacks. Engages your chest for an added bonus.
• ALWAYS, ALWAYS keep your core tight!0
