Nancy Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've been occasionally stalking the nf boards with good intentions and no action for a while, so I figured it was time to get involved and get my ass kicked. I was fairly fit when I was growing up, but it's all gone downhill since I started university and I want to get back in shape by the time I graduate this summer. At the moment I'm around 20/30lbs overweight and my cardio fitness is terrible. A lot of you seem to be into lifting which isn't something I've ever tried (but I'm intrigued), I've done running, swimming and yoga before and enjoyed them, so I think that's where I'm going to start. Oh, diet... That's important, right? Umm... *looks sheepish* need to avoid, pizza, fries, chips, chocolate, ready meals, basically everything I eat right now. When does the next 6 week challenge start? Can't wait to get started with it! Quote Link to comment
bigm141414 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Welcome to the forums Nancy! No time like the present to start. Rumor has it the next challenge is going to start Jan. 1 (gasp!). We should really do a short term challenge in between since we have 3 weeks. Although you don't have to wait for the challenge to start to make your goals and stick to them.

We should really do a short term challenge in between since we have 3 weeks.Aww... no challenge to keep us on track over Christmas. But I like the symbolic date.I think I'll do a little 3 week mini-challenge over and post my progress somewhere on the boards, I'm so much better when I have to be a little bit accountable to someone else rather than just myself.
