    I am going to start C25K and hopefully, by the end of the month, be starting Week 5. But, more concretely hopefully I'll be able to run 5+ minutes straight... okay, that's still vague, but right now I can only run 1, so anything over 5 minutes seems like an accomplishment. :P

    Hi all, this is my first challenge on MFP and I really need the accountability! My last weigh in about a week ago was 181 so I was disappointed to be up again :( But, my body is holding water right now so I'm expecting the scale to tip in the opposite direction within a week or so. Really grateful to have found this challenge.

    oops, I forgot my fitness event! I have been doing Billy Blanks DVD's but my goal this month is to add bicycling to the mix. My bike has been in the shed for two years and is getting very lonely... looking to do some miles on the weekends.
