Monika and Challenge Members:

What a wonderful challenge! I got signed up to the Presidential Champions group and I think this is going to be a blast!

Summer is getting more tolerable here in Florida so I started hiking again! But I still treadmill, work on weights, and swim. I love every moment but sometimes I do have to drag my ass out to get started! This should make it fun. Rewards like medals and certificates really work for me . I am definitely a nerd!

I really admire TDC members who exercise. Dang, you really have to have motivation and want this BAD! It is just tough to exercise and drag the extra weight with you. GO US!!!

I filled in my Presidential chart starting 8/2 so my starting weight was 229 and my measurements are:

Bust - 43.5 inches
Waist- 43 inches
Hips- 51 inches

For my goal, I would like to lose 10 pounds over this six weeks and exercise at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week .

Thanks for making this challenge!
