Hello. I'm new here! I recently finished my first recruit challenge. I'm looking forward to it! I had a new goal to add in but I apparently left my brain at home when I went out of town. If I remember later, I'll just adjust these! I'm out of town and need to get some sleep, so will just jump right in with my challenge goals: My overarching goal is to lose 50 pounds by year's end. I'm down about 13 now. Goal allocation: Q1: lose 3.5 lbs. = 1 WLP 2 CON Q2: Increase weekly steps by 1000 by challenge end = 1 STA Q3: Train 6 days/week: 3 days running or swimming - 1 STA, 1 END 3 days strength training = 2 STR LQ: Pass my certification test (1 WIS) FQ: Take my littles camping once during the challenge (1 CHA) So glad to know the challenge is on so I can get after myself a little better while out of town. Look forward to getting to know y'all! Dreena

I'm 56 years old, Mom to 5, Jack of all Trades, Paraprofessional in Special Ed Main QUEST: Lose 60 pounds and become a certified Special Ed teacher; transform from an Adventurer to a Ranger. (Thank you Nuala for helping me figure out who I am and where I'm going through your class finder!) For this challenge, I have these sub-quests Fitness Quest: Lose 3.5 pounds (2 WLP, 3 CON) by eating paleo; I'm very close to this lifestyle already, just have to divorce myself from sugar and grains Increase my steps per week by 3000 (1 STA, 1 END) Train 6 days/week: 3 days running or swimming (1 STA, 1 END), 3 days strength (3 STR) Life Quest: Get started on my first course for certification (waiting on approval to begin) (2 WIS) If approved prior to July 1, complete 2 courses (1 WIS) What the heck, I'll throw in a fun quest too: Take my little ones camping at least once during the challenge (1 CHA) Yes, I know that makes 16 points.
