Is anyone interested in a New Year / January challenge? Is there an active one already that I couldn't find?

I love challenges and find them fun as well as motivating. If you'd like to join me, we can delelop our ideas for a challenge. I would suggest we each post our starting weight on Monday the 3rd and what our plan is for the month to reach a realistic weight loss goal.

Also to introduce ourselves so we can get to know each other.
