    Wow, I just checked back in to see if we had anybody else joined up and I'm thriled to see two pages of challengers already! This is going to be a super form of motivation for us all. If anyone has any questions feel free to post them here, message me or add me as a friend - hopefully we'll all get to know each other a little bit over the next 14 weeks.

    I'm going to get started making a chart up for all our progress :)
