Nice goals! I'm a fellow sweets-lover, and cutting them back (though not totally out) is one of my goals, too. Maybe next challenge I'll go for the complete embargo! Good luck, Bob-gar!

Good luck, Mdowning! You've gotten a lot of great suggestions for snacks here. I'm taking notes...

Thanks, Bees! Looking forward to seeing everyone make progress!

Good luck, Adam! You've got a well-thought out plan and set of goals. Looking forward to getting started tomorrow!

Good luck with the challenge!

Good luck, Dragoness! I just had to respond to your capybara reference! That's a rodent you don't hear about every day...

Quick edit to add a side quest. I didn't know what a Fitbit was, but read about it on some of your posts and splurged on a new Flex. Gadgets and apps really help me stay motivated and accountable. So here goes: Sidequest: I will hit 10,000 steps every day, including those days when I do some kind of strength training. Good luck, folks!

What a great post! Sounds like you've got a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, and I wish you all the best. Good luck!

A great, focused goal. Good luck with the challenge!

Good luck, Isilm (which I mistakenly typed first as Islim. A good omen?)! I've got an almost identical commute, so I can definitely sympathize with the struggle to eat right and find time for exercise.

Thanks, 5C0T! Good luck with your challenge!

Hi folks, I’m excited to start my first challenge! I’ve recently fallen off the fitness wagon and need to find a way to get back on. It’s my hope that the structure of the challenge – and the support of what seems like an awesome community – can help provide it. My main quest is pretty basic: eat better and exercise regularly. Here are my primary goals: Exercise six days a week: some combination of pushups, squats, the Nerd Fitness body weight workouts, fast walking, and biking. Cut out sweets from Monday through Thursday. Eat four servings of fruit and/or vegetables every day. My life quest is to spend less time using my iPhone, which includes leaving it outside of the bedroom when I’m sleeping. Too much time staring at a screen! Good luck everyone!
