Hello! Can I join you all? I haven't ever done a challenge here before, I think it would be a great motivator though. My biggest struggle with any diet is just consistency and commitment. I know that if I keep doing my exercise, I will stick to my diet better too...

Ok, well for December, I really want to hit 1300 minutes and 50 minutes a day is my goal for the month. (I think it will also get me to bronze in the Presidential Challenge. )
