I need a new challenge, guys!

I haven't really been able to get in with any of the current ones so I think I want to start my own!

Anyone with me?

I FINALLY have a computer at home so it'll be alot easier for me now lol.

So here it is. We'll call this the... One month challenge!

We'll take one month at a time and choose how much weight we want to lose in that one month.

My goal is 8 lbs. (AH!, I dunno if I can do that! :blushing: )

We'll have mini-challenges like fitness challenges and weekend challenges!

So here are my stats:

As of July 1st: 180 lbs
Goal for August 1st: 172 lbs

What we'll do is challenge each other to certain things "50 sit ups a day for 3 days straight" or whatever and then everyone has to try to meet the goal and we'll post about it. We'll do one fitness challenge a week and a weekend challenge every weekend.

I'm so excited!

So here's the first weekend challenge: Stay within your alotted calories!
I know this one is a tuffy for most, so good luck!

    Well, being fairly new to MFP, I have been reading these Challenges with interest. I think I'm ready to commit to this one.

    Weight on July 1 -- 156
    Weight on August 1 -- 150

    Love the idea of workout and weekend efforts! Thanks for starting this up!
