    Oh I am in !!

    My focus isn't on weight loss anymore though, so I will post my current weights I am lifting and avg time per mile lol only going to post my averages for upper and lower body, too many exercise to type !

    12/1 - upper 20lbs; lower 85 lbs ; 14 min mile
    12/7
    12/14
    12/21
    12/28
    Total lbs increase -
    Total time shaved off mile -

    Goals: lift 3x week, cardio 3x week, dress up for the day (class, errands etc no baggy shirts !!!) size 6 at American eagle !

    Joan- I once really struggled drinking water, I found that if I added a lemon or a lime it really helped. I also invested in a nice nalgene water bottle that holds 32 oz so I didn't feel so guilting buying water bottles at school ($1.50 a bottle got expensive). Now my goal is to drink just 2 bottles a day, seems less daunting than 8 glasses,..all the same but I like to hear two rather than eight lol

    I'm in. And this is really a tough challenge because there are so many social activities at work, with friends and families. You always start the new year with some extra pounds. So, go ahead! We can make things different this year!
