Time for a new Calorie Counters' Holiday Challenge!

Here's how it works:

Set yourself one or more goals that you would like to reach in the next (almost) 6 weeks. Any goal that motivates you to stick with your eating and exercise plan is fine. It can be pounds lost, a new clothing size, fitness or performance goals, etc. This is going to be YOUR goal, so you get to decide what it is.

Post an intro here, saying what your goal is, plus any other info you want to share, then return to get and give support, report on your progress, or just to chat.

Good luck on the challenge!

Everybody must be busy at work today.

I'll start. I finally figured out what to do for goals this time:

1) Kick up into a handstand (on the wall) without assistance.
2) Fit into the 32" waist jeans I've been coveting since the beginning.

I also would love to be able to ride my bike to the gym in July, at least on days I don't need to run errands afterward, but since I haven't ridden regularly at all, and the bike kicks my behind, I'm not sure that's realistic. After some test riding this week, I may know enough to add a reasonable goal for miles on the bike.

My very first challenge!

Goal 1: Lose 8 pounds
Goal 2: Exercise 6 days a week

I'm definitely in for this challenge and I'm hoping that it will be nicer to me this time around LOL

I'm going to keep the same goal from the last time...so my goal is to be below 190.

Okay, ladies!!! I'm in ... I will lose EIGHT pounds by July 4th, even though that period will include about 11 vacation days! I've been making excuses for awhile now ... time to get back on the train and RIDE! Good luck, everyone. You'll be the first to know when I see the scale go below 222!!! Thanks for starting the thread, jam!

Hi,
My goals for July 4th are:
1) be 134 lbs
2) run 3 miles in under 30 minutes

Good luck everyone!

I'm in for this challenge also. I think I will shoot for 10 lbs. SW 176. That is a bit on the high side but that will challenge me to work a little harder. Also to run 8 miles and increase my running time to a 10 min mile. Whew I think that will be hard.
