    I'm in! This is going to be my first full month of MFP so I am excited to try this challenge.

    SW: 148 lbs
    CW: 145 lbs
    GW: 140 lbs

    No particular plans to try a new form of exercise this month as I am still getting into a routine and trying to figure out what works best for me. At this point it is more about establishing an exercise "habit" rather than trying new things!

    Good luck to everyone!

    I'm going to try using some fitness and dancing games on the xbox, plus moving house on 18th should burn a heck of a lot of calories! Going to up my walking a little bit too.
