This thread is one in which a new fitness and dietary challenge is posted each week. We also post our weigh-in numbers for the week on Monday (when the challenges actually start). Let's kick off February right! :bigsmile:

Here are the challenges/format to post for this week: (ANY one can join in at ANY time!)
_________________________________________________________________________________________

FITNESS CHALLENGE:
Try to burn a pound of fat! To do this you'll need to burn 3500 calories. If you can't hit 3500, just try to get as close as you can!

DIETARY CHALLENGE:
Get you fiber! It is recommended that women under the ago of 50 consume 25 grams of fiber each day, so shoot for that.

    I get a big calorie burn when I go to spinning class - since you have a stationary maybe you could pick up the pace, or ride for longer to burn more calories...
