    Hey ladies! Checking in & I completely forgot about the jump jacks challenge. Sorry! I haven't loss any weight this week so my goal this week is to push myself a lil harder. I am starting to get a lil discouraged. So much is going wrong but I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude through it all.

    Welcome new members!
