    Hi Klarissa - I did really great a year and a half ago, then because of stress eating and not exercising much let myself gain all my weight back. I'm looking forward to having a goal and a group to support each other! -Kelly

    Hi,

    I'm Amanda I saw this challenge and thought I would join in too. When you add it up its about 70 calories a day not unreachable by any means but still adds up. I want 2012 to be a lot more active year & hopefully bigger weightloss in result as well. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old that I need to get active for. I did well 2-3 years ago and was almost out of th 220's and gained it all back and then some. This time I need to stick with it for good.

    I spent 6 months of my last year simply maintaining my weight. All I can say is at least I didn't gain anything, and a least I got back to losing. Best of luck to everyone.

    Most cardio days I'm at least 800 burn, so I just need to step it up a tiny bit!!!! and really step it up on my non cardio days!!!

    I'm pumped and ready to go and hoping for a nice cool Jan to help kick it off for me :smile:

    Thanks for the invite! I think 686 calories a day is more than I will manage, but I'm gonna do my best. One of my goals is to run more than 500 miles this year. I am training for my second half marathon so I think that's totally doable.

    Hi everyone I am Dave from the Boston area. Looking forward to meeting and exceeding this challenge. I have been averaging about 5K cal burned per week. Just got a HRM for Christmas so I can get a more accurate picture of what I am burning. Good luck to everyone!

    Hey I'm Brian from the Uk. Last year (well still this year I guess) was about losing weight, I've lost about 80lbs since March. 2012 is about consolidating those gains, losing the last 20lbs and starting to compete as I want to use my fitness!

    I've gone from sitting on the couch eating junk food all day to working out six days a week doing a mixture of weight lifting, running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, Brazilian jiu jitsu and Kick Boxing.

    HI, I am Sara and currently live in Knoxville, TN. I joined the 100k group and then found this one. I am in the midst of training for my first marathon (April 1st - here in good ole Knoxvegas) - so I expect to meet the 100k goal by April 2nd. :wink: -- so, I can't quit there!

    I measure my calorie burn on my Bodybugg - which is great. Of course, I will only log my calories burned during exercise sessions - not the tracking throughout the day.

    Always looking for friends, motivation, encouragement and happy to provide it as well.
