Welcome, welcome, welcome! By joining this challenge then you are making a commitment to yourself to do something that will change your life! I would ask that you take the time to officially introduce yourself by telling us about yourself and then if you would answer the questions noted below as well. You can copy & paste them into the new posting to save time if you want. I am hopeful that this will allow SparkTeam members help find others that they can relate to and result in opportunities for strong buddy relationships to be developed!

1. Why is this challenge is important to you?

2. What obstacles do you anticipate that we can help support you with?

3. How would you describe your physical fitness ability as? example: Very Active, Moderately Active, Somewhat Active, Sendentary, Limited due to disability

4. Would you like to find a buddy? How do you think having a buddy would help you be successful in this challenge?

5. What would you like to set as a "REWARD" for yourself if you reach your goal of 50 pounds?

6. What is your beginning weight?

7. Optional: Your beginning measurements, list only what you feel comfortable with sharing.

8. What are some of your hobbies?

9. What day and month is your birthday?

Thanks!

I signed up for the challenge in late December but I was buried under a commitment that I've since gotten out of (completed) and don't plan on burying myself in that hole again. I've been saving all the emails so I can basically do the January Challenge in February and spent a $50 gift card from work on getting the Spark and the SparkPeople Cookbook as well as a video :) Looking forward to making a positive change!
