    Count me in as well! It will be so much better to look in the mirror thinking... "I look good" vs. "S#@*, it's time to get motivated and loose 20 pounds." I keep my journal/diary open for everyone to see... feel free to take a peak. I do not eat many of my exercise calories.

    I don't know when I'll be able to go back to exercising every day. :frown: However, you know I'm getting back into it slowly but surely! With that little caveat, yes, I will join your challenge! As you know, I'm in the middle of my own little challenge which will end with my Italian anniversary dinner (which WILL be pre-planned and controlled with extra swimming to compensate for any extra calories).

    I've been pondering what to do after that, and I was trying to figure out my next challenge. I think I have my answer! :drinker: A challenge will be much more fun with us supporting each other! Thanks, D.

    (Just a side note to any of D's other friends reading this: If you'd like to friend me for added support during the challenge or just in general, feel free! :flowerforyou: )

    Ok, I am restarting my count so I can be on the same date as my friends who decide to do this challenge... TODAY IS DAY 1.
    Great to increase our passion for fitness before the holidays and not as a result of the holidays... Hey folks, we are getting it right!!!

    I exercised every day last week 90 min/day. I took Sunday off from exercise but still came in under calories. Diary is open to the public.

    Start weight: 167

    DAY 2 done.

    Not feeling too well today, but I managed to get some burn time. I hope this cold will go soon so I can get back to the big burn workouts!

    Day 2 in the books, exercised 30 minutes and brought my calories in at 1209! Good day, feels good knowing I have people to answer too. Only 77 more days to go! I can stay on track for that long.

    DAY 3 done.

    Still ill so all I could fit today was a walk to work and back [not that I had a choice because there was an industrial strike with the transport today]. But still burnt calories, at least. Yay!

    Day three in the books, was sitting in class all day for work so worked out at 530 but at least I did not cancel it all together. Brought the calories in at under 1200 evan while eating at the cafeteria! Plain tossed salad witha piece of cheese and italian dressing (only one tablespoon). Not too bad if I do say so myself.

    I'll join.
    Already up to speed since the 5th, exercised, logged, under my calories every day.
    I'll count today as day three - under my calories, exercised 1 hour 45 minutes, only ate 1/2 my exercise calories.
    This looks like it's going to be a very motivating group!

    Logged, 80min exercise, did not eat any exercise calories.
    Ate so well today, not actually hungry for extra calories.

    I love this challenge.:heart:
