    Hope everyone is preparing for the challenge we will face in the New Year! I'm superexcited and I'm ready to kick some FLAB!!! I'm already thinking of what my goals are, what obstacles I want to overcome and how I plan to do it... This will be my finally attempt at losing this weight and I will prevail & come out on top as the winner for good!! Planning to enjoy the holidays but I'm continuing to monitor my calories and workout so it won't be such a hard task the first of the year.. Actually I'm hoping to shed 3-5 lbs before the first of the year.. Happy Holidays to you all!!! Go NAVY BLUE TEAM!!! Wooohoooo!!!!

    PS.. Thanks to our captain and co-captain.. You two will do great!!! Looking forward to your weekly challenges...

    Hi my name is mags (Margaret). I live in the south west of scotland. I'm really looking forward to this challenge, haven't had one in a while. Been really slacking through december so far and not logging much but i can assure you all as from 1st January I will be back with avengance.

    I'm 42 years old, I do home caring looking after the elderly and love my job.

    I am about 159lbs at the minute and hope to get down to atleast 140lbs. Not been that since before my daughter was born nearly 12 years ago. Have a new found love for exercise, especially zumba. Also try and do a bit of running and some other classes. Prefer classes to exercising on my own.

    Looking forward to 2012.

    Challenge is from 1st of January till 27th of April. Goal weight… it is difficult to propose anything now. What do you think? I think we might want to have a goal weight by the end of the team challenge?

    Natalie the first team challenge is fantastic! Looking forward to 2012! I tried burpees today also for the fist overall challenge. Those will be tough. I log all my exercise but do not log house cleaning etc... I figure chasing after and cleaning up after 5 kids hasn't helped me lose any weight so far:) I'm just getting back on track and looking forward to a good loss next week. I have lost 11 pounds through the month of December. Happy New Years everyone!

    @ wren176 Nice loss in December! I leave it up to you what activity to log in, but I agree that it should be an additional (to your everyday life) activity. I’ve tried burpees today, managed 10. It is heavy… But hard work is required to be fabulous, it is worth it!

    Hi,
    I am still searching for the best way of talking to the team. We have now this thread, the blog and the news feed. So far, I think the combination of the news feed (best response) and the blog (convenient format) works well, but I am open for suggestions.
    Good idea to write down your goals, actually the SMART goals. I am going to do in the weekend (need time to sit and think about it), as well as I will take a picture to monitor the progress.
