    WooHoo! I am excited for this challenge! I'm Tricia from southern California. I have about 20 more pounds to lose to reach my goal of 175lbs (by my bday in January 2012). I run every weekday morning, strength train 3x per week, practice yoga 2x per week and go hiking once a week. I'm always on my phone, so it's easy for me to be a support buddy on the go! Feel free to add me, on here, facebook, follow me on Twitter, (everything is on my profile) whereever-whenever! LOL Ready for a Rockin' Walkin' October!!

    Count me in as well. If that's OK. I'm away in a couple of weeks so I would miss a couple of the early weigh ins but anything that helps me along on this journey I'm up for.

    Mediafire is having problems this morning so I moved the banner to a new site. Photobucket has always been rather reliable and I'm not sure why I didn't think of it before.

    Here's the new link for the banner...

    REMEMBER: Make sure you make the IMG lower case at the beginning and end of the link!

    I would love to be a part of this! I've been stuck at a plateau and quickly losing motivation because of it. I have about 20lbs left that I'd like to drop and this would hopefully get me a lot closer to that! Feel free to add me, looking forward to pressing on and killing this plateau.

    question: will we upload our weight and miles or will we send them to you, gkeith1971?

    Either way. Everyone has access to the spreadsheet and anyone who can see it can edit it. I know some people are less comfortable with it then others and I'm more than willing to help them. I will do all of the calculations each week. :-)

    For anyone who didn't see my earlier post...mediafire which is the site that I had put the banner on is having issues. I'm not sure if it's permanent or not so I put the banner on photobucket. There is a post on the 3rd page with the link so you can save the new link and get rid of the old one. Once mediafire is back up and running I will remove the banner from there so we don't have it in a million places. :-)

    5 days til kick off! I'm so excited to start this challenge. I know it's a LONG challenge...but I need something long term. I"m doing an awesome 6 week challenge now that I'll be halfway through when we start this one. It'll get me up to Halloween which is like hell for me. I really feel confident that I'm in the right place mentally to do this. And with all of you working on this with me...I KNOW we can do this! Bring on the holidays!!! ;-)

    Your 4 day break will be a great chance to get yourself into a routine! I'm jealous...I would so love a 4 day break from work! LOL The 175 miles should be easier for everyone since we added a week to the challenge!
