I would love to have a challenge for the month of March. I normally weight train at the gym because I love the feeling! However, I hate doing cardio, but I know that I need to do it so... I'd love to do a challenge and have people keep me accountable. I'd love to help others be accountable as well.

So, I was thinking we can all keep track of our cardio done for the day here! (Unless anyone has a better idea for the challenge). I just would like to be part of a group. Please add me and let's do this together!

I turn 21 March 3rd and I want to be at my goal this year! I weigh 142lbs, I'm only 5'1'' though. My goal is 120lbs by my sister's wedding this August!

That's 22lbs in 5 months. What are your goals?

Any takers? :)

    I have the opposite problem....I am a cardio junkie...so my goal is to be more consistant with weights.

    So what's the challenge? I'm interested also. I am 5'1 and I have a long term goal to weight between 120-125 but I'm currently at 186 lbs so I have a long way to go.. but I would like to lose about 20 lbs or so by summer which should be attainable! I love Cardio actually so I have no problem keeping up with it :-D I have two weddings to attend this year, one in the Spring and One in the Summer!

    I'm in. Going to Costa Rica in June and need to lose whatever I can by then. Total weight loss goal is 40lbs so if I can get 1/2 way there by June I'd be thrilled.

    You can add me too! I'm heading to Mexico in 5 weeks (& then Canada to visit family) & i'll be seeing heaps of people I haven't seen in ages!! I've already been training for 5 weeks with barely any weight loss so hopefully this next 5 weeks will be different. I weigh approx 73 kilos now (which fluctuates daily between 72.8-74.5...so frustrating) & I'm 5'6. I'd love to be under 70 (& stay under 70 daily) by the time I leave for Mexico which I know doesn't seem that difficult but believe me...the weight doesn't want to move!

    My next goal will be Aug 31st (which is when my Australian visa expires) & I'll probably be going home for another visit. I'd like to be 65 (or less) by then. :)

    73 kilos=160.6 lbs
    70=154
    65=143

    Hey so great that so many people want to jump in!! It's great to see lots of people seem to have similar stats to my own!

    My biggest goal here is to do my cardio! The challenge is to keep everyone accountable for doing cardio any number of times a week that is suitable for your needs. (For me that's 5-6 days a week). Of course, still do any other exercise you take a part of. Like I said before, I LOVE doing weights, so that's still going to be in my regimen.

    So, I'd like everyone to post here what they did for cardio for the day beginning March 1st.

    I tend to lose track of threads on here sometimes also, so if anyone would like to add me on Facebook to make this a bit more personal in communicating, you can search for me: Marie Santos Rivera

    Thanks!!

    I'd like to join. I am 33 and I am currently at 195. I've lost 12 so far. My goal is 150 so I have 45 to go. I have been doing pretty good at sticking to my cardio workouts but I want to keep going. I also am thinking about setting a goal to start running...and perhaps join a 5k run at the end of March. I'm not sure if that is unrealistic or not but that would give me five weeks to prepare. Feel free to add me as a friend.
