I am new as of yesterday. I wasn't going to get to involved but then I would be wasting my time so I signed up for the presidents challenge. I hope this works. I only have 8 lbs to loose in 6 weeks but it is harder then it sounds. I am going to visit my family back home (and go to the beach!!!). I have been struggling with these same pounds for months and can't get them to budge. So maybe you all can help. I guess I better do my 30 mins. I got a new work out video or might get on the treadmill. I'll keep you posted.
