    So in response to the Challenge question from above. I'm not going to be doing specific challenges weekly. This will be an open forum for people to ask questions and support each other. I may post videos or workouts which we can all try. I will not be able to get back to everyone individually but I will try my best to help everyone. Post questions on the board and each week I will take the time to address some questions. The first 15 suggestions are posted and I want everyone to print it out and post on the FRIDGE and try and follow all of those guidelines for week 1. Go get IT!! I'm off to the gym now will check back in 2m.

    Mike, are you going to start a "group" for this challenge so we can just check in and post under that?

    If you could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm 5'1" and I'm 150 lbs. right now. I'm 5 months post-partum. My stomach is getting nicer as the months pass. I just have a small pouch from my c-section that I want to get rid of, and if possible, toner arms. I have larger bone body frame so I won't be really thin. I'd like to get to 130 lbs. by the summer if possible.

    Whoo hoo.. just did a brisk 15 minute walk, didn't slow down just kept on going. I may have lasted longer if I didn't have the in-training pup with me. Tonight I'll leave him at home.

    BUT, I did it! I brisk-walked, in the cold morning. In front of traffic. Around PEOPLE! My ears are cold, my legs are burning, but I feel good and there's a smile on my face.

    Thanks for the motivation (I had almost talked myself out of walking this morning)

    Count me in .. sounds great (even though I'm heading into winter) :) ...

    Sorry, did answer the questions - I'm Julie, I've been watching what I eat for the last 4 weeks - only 1 on MFP - and I was aiming to start incorporating cardio starting on Monday so this fits in well.

    Are you Australian/a New Zealander?

    Australian - Perth, West Coast

    I've never been, but my sister spent a year in Australia and loved Perth. I'm English.

    Awesome breakfast idea. Remember food allergies when reading this.

    1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1 cup fruit of choice
    1-2 cups spinach
    1 tbsp ground flax
    1 banana
    1/2 cup carrots
    Add Cinnamon and Ginger to taste they will help with hunger and blood sugar stability.

    BLEND UNTIL SMOOTH enjoy daily for breakfast can swap different fruits daily and different leafy greens. (Kale romaine etc.)

    That smoothie looks fab, would never have thought to add carrots. Will try that out, thank you.
