    Hey Team, I'm Jessica. I live in Iowa. My busy schedule includes me working a few part time jobs and homeschooling my two daughters. I'm here for support because my husbands the type of guy that thinks I need to celebrate my eating healthy with donuts or pizza a few times a week. (Yeah he's not much help.)

    I look forward to Withering A Weigh with the rest of you!

    Hi Team, looking forward to the team challenge. I've done several individual challenges but think I will be more successful when I'm accountable to others

    Hey team, is everyone preparing and getting psyched to kick some bootie!! We are gonna do this! I'm liking this prep time before the challenge actually begins as I am going slow with trying to get this body ready to really move when the challenge kicks in. If I am ready to move more I'll loose more!! You all have a great day!

    I am continuing the progress I made prior to joining this challenge. I have been reaching my step goals consistently and better at staying within my calorie goal. I am sure we will all do well. Let's get it!

    @LilDsMom2 I've also been counting my steps and staying under my calorie goal. I'm upping my daily step goal to 15,000 a day because I've been able to reach 10,000 each day.

    Yes @smusicmom I'm also liking the prep time. I'm gathering meal planing and prep ideas. Only found a handful I want to try, too much tempting junk food comes up when searching.

    I should probably up my step goal too but I am not sure how much. It is currently 11,000 but I am thinking it should be 14,000. I am averaging 16,000 this week but I reached my step high recently so that average may be inflated. I am going to do an average in Excel or by hand without my step high.

    You will soon start making that goal consistently. When I started 10,000 steps were pretty difficult, but I started pushing just to beat the prior day's count (by 500 or 1000 depending on how I felt) until I made the goal. After that, it got easier.
