:flowerforyou: Good Morning Everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

This is a new challenge that begins today and will finish on Friday, April 10th, just before Easter. There are no set goals, exercises, or anything like that....you choose what you want to achieve and we will be here each day for accountibility and support! :smile:

If you are new...welcome and thanks for joining us....for those returning...it's great to have you continue on {hugs}!

So, let's get started....

I am going for five pounds, although I hope to reach that and lose a few more by the end of the challenge. I have a body comp test with my trainer around that time as well and I really want to kick some butt between now and then :drinker:

I look forward to enjoying this journey with each of you...:flowerforyou:

    I've been on the site for two months, but have just been a lurker, because I am pretty shy about posting. However, I have decided to take the plunge and join the Easter challenge, so I am in for 5 pounds. The kicker is - I really don't know how to do this, where to find the thread, etc, so appreciate any help. (This is actually my first post ever on any site.) Everybody have a good day!
