End of the year challenge (closed group)

Hello friends!

I am so excited about our end of the year challenge! My main goal for this group is to keep us motivated so we can reach our goal by the end of the year. This is a challenge, so it does require effort, however, I promise not to make it too hard or complicated.

You are expected to check in daily (or at least multiple times a week) and also comment on the posts. First, if you haven't done so already, I need you to determine your main goal. For example, I would like to lose 10 lbs by the end of the year. For others, it may be to fit into a certain piece of clothing, or to increase running speed, etc.

Now to help everyone reach their goals, we will also have weekly goals. This could be to lose 1-2 lbs, to reduce calorie intake, increase exercise, etc. Basically, you are breaking down your big goal into small goals. We will also have a group goal that will change from week to week. I will determine this goal based off everyone's individual goals. We will follow up each week with a weigh in. (*Note: if your goal is not to lose weight, you are not required to weigh in. However, if losing weight is your main goal, I highly recommend that you participate in the weigh ins.)

And last but not least, we will have daily challenges. This could be to do 100 jumping jacks or squarts, add 10 minutes to your exercise routine, drink an extra glass of water, consume 100 fewer calories, go vegetarian for a day, etc. If you have any ideas for these daily challenges, please let me know. These challenges are meant to be fun and fairly easy.

So let's get started! Please go ahead and introduce yourself, list your main goal, starting weight (or starting point if you aren't tracking weight), your first weekly goal, and anything else you might want to share with the group. We will have our first weigh in next Tuesday.
