Sheri...so exciting!! You're getting one heck of a turn out this round. This is going to be a blast!!! I think I have goosebumps :)

YES PLEASE!!! I was totally pushed beyond my happy place during the last 11 week challenge. To say the least, I'm chomping at the bit to start a new one. Sheri this was the most fun I've ever had while doing exercises. Nothing like being held accountable to yourself and the rest of your team. I totally discovered how…

1023 :)

Hmmm have been toying with the idea of doing it again. Tried it in the summer and loved it. I'd be a few days behind you but would be willing to start again if I had someone to check in with daily. I'm 37 and am struggling with the last 30 lbs to loose. Anyone interested in the 30ds, please feel free to add me and we can…

Vent away...Most of us I'm sure have the same issues. I know I do :)

Hi eveyrone I'd love to join! Bring on the challenge :)
