    I'd love to join as well. I work out quite a bit (teach zumba 5 days and 1 belly dance class a week, I also do weights at the gym and have been consistently for 2.5 months now). I'm finding I've gotten lazy about logging food and also want to push myself more at the gym. My goal for the month of May is to lose 8 pounds. I'd love a buddy to help push each other.

    I'd LOVE this Challenge!
    I particularly like the idea of a Buddy!

    I got married at the end of March, and I totally kicked butt in my weight loss journey up until then. Now that "Crunch Time" is over, I'm really struggling with my eating and need a good swift kick in the pants!

    My friend is getting married June 9. I have a half marathon June 2nd. I work out 5 days a week plus a long run on Saturdays.

    My goal is to lose 8 lbs in May.

    Okay! I'm in. Sent the message, but here are the details:

    I'd like to work out for 30 minutes every day, either running, The Shred, or Yoga.

    I'd like to drink 3 liters of water a day.

    I'd like to lose five pounds.

    I stalled out a while back and I'm hating myself currently. I need a kick in the pants! My husband has lost 34 pounds this year and is the thinnest I've ever seen him. I'm 30 pounds up from my thinnest. Unacceptable!
