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...

    I've never really kept track of fiber before. I love mfp:heart: It sure makes keeping track of things easy. Had to swap tracking of sodium for fiber on my food diary to make room but I'm usually pretty good about sodium without monitoring it. Anyway, what a great tool mfp is for keeping me accountable for the things I swallow.:tongue:
