I am joining in late to this thread but I decided there was no point like the present to get started again on dieting/exercise. So if you can't add me to the list I understand.

In the meantime I will work on my goal with all of you anyway. And I will adjust it to fit the remaining fourteen days of May.

My goal - walk 25 miles by month end

I have several family members coming in to town tomorrow, and am worried I won't get much exercise in over the next few days! My sister is a workout nut though, and so maybe she'll exercise with me late at night at her hotel. We'll see how things go.
