  • Let's move in the Merry Month of May!

    This is our monthly exercise challenge thread. All are welcome, whether your goal is to walk ten minutes a day or train for a marathon.

    State your goal and track it throughout the month with a supportive group encouraging each other to meet our goals. We'll compile our exercise goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

    For weight loss goals, see our sister thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html
