Just looked at the poll results... I know its only 24 hours but it seems fairly conclusive. Just gotta think what to call it and how long the next Challenge should be and the types of goals involved. Any ideas???

How about a May bank holiday challenge? Then it's not too long - and it's up to another holiday type thingy?

First one is 7 May, second one is the 28th (the day after my marathon). Or you could go for my birthday on 31 May

The YP Birthday Challenge???

How about the Spring Bank Holiday Challenge? That gives us 7 weeks from the end of the Easter Challenge. (According to my calendar Spring Bank Holiday is the same day as Memorial Day in the US).

How about goals/targets? Are we going for individual ones again???

Yeah just checked Memorial Day is the 28th. That's like the unofficial start of summer here and our local pool opens that weekend. That means I will have to be in a swimsuit as my youngest lives for the pool during the summer.

My only goal will be to actually lose some weight this time around. I've gone up and down, lose 2 gain 2 .

I lost 2.4 lbs this week which I was really pleased with but it didn't feel "right". You know when you have a temporary high and it's not real - it was like that. I reckon I just hit a temporary low on my weigh day.

I definitely vote for another challenge. I have a personal goal to meet by the end of May so I'm hoping that a challenge ties in with that.

Oh God am I up for another challenge.. I've failed miserably at these past two, I just play with the same TWO pounds on and off....I will accept the challenge as long as someone comes to my house, takes all food that is a little bit naughty away and wires my jaw shut... can anyone help me out ??? Any takers....???? I actually think there may be a few people on this earth that would like to wire my gob shut, so that I couldn't talk anymore...

Michele - Yes, I'm a Gemini as well - 11th June.

Okay... a 7 week challenge from Easter Monday (9th April) finishing on the Spring Bank Holiday / Memorial Day (28th May) it is!

CG - Swimming cozzie.... hmmm.... I wonder if an expensive cozzie hanging on the outside of my wardrobe door would give me as much incentive as all those yummy Monsoon Christmas clothes did?
