Penpal Challenge...

Anyone out there wanna have a penpal challenge??

Here's the idea. Find someone with whom you have a similar amount of weight to lose... Set a goal of say 5lbs. Email each other daily with one challenge for the day. (drink 8 glasses of water, do 30 sit-ups, walk for 30 minutes, don't eat.... you get the idea.) Weigh in with each other once a week. First person to lose the goal sends the other a little treat in the mail. (favorite snack, workout video, new earrings... whatever...)

Anyone in??

I'm Jenn, I have about 50 pounds to my goal weight.

    This sounds like a great idea. If anyone has 20 pounds to lose yet then we are similar so message me and we can set up things from there.

    I'm more wanting to lose inches than weight but here is my info.

    I'm wanting to thin and tone my butt area (thighs, and hips included!)
    and I have about 3-5lbs left to lose.
