    Happy New Year Loserville!

    I'll whip us up a spreadsheet with all members on this evening, what's our challenge going to be for the first week? I'd be keen on a big burn challenge (either who can burn the most calories or aim to burn 3500?), as I feel like that's what I need to do right now!!

    Where are your favourite holiday spots? I love to experience different cultures, but with 2 small kids my holidays are limited to activities they love! I love Rotorua, mountain bike tracks, beaches ...
