Wow great job everyone!! I haven't been as good about tracking and exercising this month I've got some life things going on and I don't see next month being much better.

I'd like to ask if anyone would like to take over this thread? Since I haven't been a good little thread leader as of late and I doubt I'll be much better next month. So if anyone would like to take it over please do so! You guys are awesome!
