  • I used to have a fitbit and then it died and I didn't replace it. I'm reconsidering getting another one, though. Again, the accountability-- I need something! But I'm about to take off on a long walk. Meanwhile, my eating is fine, but my stomach is not. I'm only 14 weeks, but I'm already having heart burn and still not…
  • This challenge is helping me stay on track so much! I really like that it is about specific, achievable behaviors instead of a goal for a number of pounds lost-- that way, you can feel a sense of accomplishment for achieving the behaviors, even if the weight loss slows down.

  • I got my four points yesterday and today. I'm really happy to have a place to check in daily and find encouragement to stick with the plan!
  • Just joined and glad to be in on this challenge. My fitness habits have gone off track in the last couple of months and I think it's a great idea to start the New Year already back on track instead of further off the rails! I know the organizer said we'll report back weekly, but I would kind of like a daily check in.…
  • Hi Mamas! I'm Jess, 36, mom of two (5.5 y.o. and 23 mos) and a full time PhD student in my final year (which means I'm on the academic job market and trying to finish my dissertation). The last few months have been very stressful-- work has been maxed out (see above), my son started K (wonderful, but a big transition) and…
