What is the challenge? Does it include anything specific, like certain exercises or something?

i'm 5'4" and my goal weight is 125, which is not only a healthy BMI but also the lowest weight i've been as an adult (8 years ago). hopefully by my next bday (april).

- log in every day - lose 5 lbs per month until my goal weight (would take me 5 months to get there) - run two more half marathons (numbers 7 & 8 in total) - fit into my clothes better - make better food decisions - be a good role model for my daughter - finish and dominate a DietBet
