Hey all,

Here is the fifth of eight challenges across the calendar for 2017. I am keeping the challenge alive since SmallSteps has not been posting lately.

Here is her explanation of the Challenge: SmallSteps: I’m wondering would anyone like to join me in a yearly challenge? Now, don't panic at the thoughts of going into this from January 1st to December 31st! For me, it would be near impossible to stay focused for a full year so I have decided to split the year into 8 challenges or 8 mini targets to reach. Each challenge represents a 6-8 week time during the year.

Challenge 1: New Years Day to Valentine’s Day (January 1st to February 14th) Challenge 1
Challenge 2: Valentine’s Day until April Fools Day (February 14th to April 1st) Challenge 2
Challenge 3: April Fools Day until Mother's Day (April 1st to May 14th) Challenge 3
Challenge 4: Mother's Day until Independence Day (May 14th to July 4th) Challenge 4
Challenge 5: Independence Day to Labor Day (July 4th to September 4th)
Challenge 6: Labor Day to Columbus Day (September 4th to October 9th)
Challenge 7: Columbus Day until Thanksgiving Day (October 9th to November 23rd)
Challenge 8: Thanksgiving Day to New Years Eve (November 23rd to December 31st)


Weigh in days for challenges will be once a week.

So glad to start at the beginning - I am hoping to loose some weight between now and the start so I will be back to put in starting weight:

I will join in with this round, as well. I did poorly on my last challenge I did on another thread with the whole move thing, so I am planning on making this one more successful. Especially since this challenge will end two days before my birthday, so it will be kind of like an inspiring countdown to that for me, as well...so, definitely count me in! I will fill in everything when the challenge actually starts.

Yay! I am in as well. I hope to be at my goal but I do have a week long vacation in the middle of July. I changed the dates so that I can post right before I leave and when I get back. I had a setback the last time because I had a long weekend at home but I still managed to beat my goal.
