    It's FINALLY warming up outside here in northern Michigan, so I will enjoy the fresh air and sunshine and walk my dog for a nice long trail after work. I'll wear my HRM and keep going until i burn at least 350 cal.

    YAH EXERCISE!:laugh:

    I am in again! I lost three pounds during the last challenge so I am going to do three pounds again. My additional goal for this time around is to stay off of the scale except for Wednesdays.

    My SW is 145.1
    I would like to be 142 even by 04/10.

    Count me in...4 pounds by Good Friday. I would shoot for more, but I'm moving, and I know I'll eat pizza and other crap for a few days during the whole moving process.

    Another goal: I enjoy exercise, but I often can't make myself do it. My goal is to exercise 10 out of 24 days. Day 1 done:I mowed the grass!

    :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 would love to join this group!!! Im up for the challenge !!! By april 10th i would like to be down a dress size and working out longer.. And lose about 8lbs

    Hello Everyone:happy:

    I'm so excited for everyone and their goals.

    I have not been in on a challenge wwith any of you ladies (i don't think) but I'm ready.
    By April 10th, I am aiming for a couple of goals. I want to do two a days at least 3 times a week and do some physical activity 1 per day 6x per week. I'm going to step out on faith and say I will be down 8 pounds and 1 full pants size.

    I would also like to set a goal for strectching everyday because I'm bad at that:cry:
