    What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? Last year I started running...In September I did a half marathon without training like I should have and it was rough. I haven't really ran since. My goal is to get back to running!!

    I want to continue with my marathon training schedule and also add in some strength training because I've been really slacking in that department.

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight?
    - My goal really isn't necessarily exercise oriented. My husband just lost 37lbs in a little over 3 months just by eating less calories, drinking A LOT more water, and by cutting his soda consumption by 99%. My goal is to weigh less than him. He's 6'2 and 182lbs. I'm 5'3 and 182.6lbs. That's not right! His getting healthy and losing weight during the time that I "dropped out" made me realize that I needed to get back on the wagon. I'm embarrassed by the fact that we weigh the same and he's about a foot taller than me! Yes, exercise is going to be in my regimen, but I really need to get back to logging what I eat.

    We can do this! I can't wait to see everyone's results!

    - For exercise it would be going to the gym once it opens with my friend. Low impact activity will be my goal along with strength training.

    I am going to try to log 30 minutes minimum of exercise a day. Dusted off 10 Minute Trainer today. I get easily bored and like change. I love circuit training. Let's do this!

    I'm not sure how to join either aside from replying - any hints would be appreciated! mmcleod8725 - you're almost there. Great job!!!

    Exercise goal for month: core conditioning and swimming to strengthen my back so that I can be more active in general. (Gained weight due to inactivity because of a pinched nerve/herniated disc . Already feeling much more active and I love it!)
