Hey everyone,

So i've been a member on here for some time now, trying to get healthier and in better shape. About 3 months ago I started P90X and did great for about 45 days, then b/c of a lot of stress i've completely stopped. But i'm ready to start back up again (even tho my life is not any less stressful, but i need to learn to deal w/ it and keep up my healthy lifestyle!) My husband and I made a little challenge for ourselves to get us motivated. It's to lose the most weight by July 4th. So in 8 weeks, I could loose anywhere from 8 to 12 lbs. I'm at 151, but I want to weight 135 (final goal, i probably won't hit that in 8 weeks.)

So first, would anyone be up for a little 4th of July challenge with me? we could track our weight loss and food goals here, keep ea. other encouraged, and so on.

Second, my husband & I made sort of a wager, so i need to figure out what I want if I win the challenge. I have no idea. I've thought of a nice (like really nice) dinner, or a weekend trip somewhere semi-close (and won't cost an arm and a leg), or have him do the laundry for a month. But none of those things seem like the perfect reward. I have today to think about it. So maybe you all can help me out. What do you think?

And let me know if you're interested joining me in this challenge! Maybe we all can 'reward' ourselves on July 4th!

Laura
