I was looking for one to LOL!! But maybe you can start one, I will join you! I had plan on doing Tae Bo for 30 days, I love Tae Bo just haven't done it in awhile it really gets me into to shape quickly, I am also going to do the Firm about once a week for muscle training.
As far as my eating goes, I am really trying to get away from Red meat & Pork as they are hard for me to digest and make me bloat and makes my stomach make crazy noises. So for my beef I use Boca Crumbles and Boca Patties for Hamburgers.

So what about you?

Hmm, maybe we will get a few more responses so we can decide what to do. I like your plan, I think I could maybe limit red meat and pork as I think they are not so good with me either but I really like them! I was planning on doing a South Beach type plan with weekly workouts atleast 2 to 4 times a week. We'll have to see how this all falls together.

I'm in:yep:. I'm already doing the Atkins Challenge but I need to be more consistent with my workouts. I do 10 miles daily on my recumbent bike when I do it but I need to add weight training to it.

SparkPeople had an article on doing "streaks". Basically, you challenge yourself to do something 100% for a short period of time and then you give yourself a reward. I've already started a 10-day Callanetics streak (10 consecutive days before I can take a break, my reward will be a new workout outfit).

Start a Small Streak (http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/motivation_articles.asp?id=88)

I'm contemplating going raw for 7 days straight. I've never done it before... :spinning:

HairHustla, I was just thinking the same thing. I jam ust reading the post in this section and I am in very bad need of a fitness/nutrition challenge. I have been trying to get my stuff together since January 2008 and it is May. I still have 30-35 pounds to lose, haven't gotten serious about a nutrition plan and have been inconsistent with working out.

I am in. let's decide on a challenge and start May 2008. I love starting on Sunday's or Monday's.
