****Winter 2010 Vitamins/Supplements Challenge****

****Winter 2010 Vitamins/Supplements challenge****


It's now 2010 and I know many of the ladies from the 2009 End of the Year Vitamin/Supplements Challenge requested that we continue for the New Year.

I figure we can break the challenge up into parts so that anyone who doesn't make the cut off date for joining, can join the next one.

The dates for this challenge will be January 1, 2010 through April 1, 2010. That's really the Spring I guess but we'll revisit at that point to see how long the next one should be. The cut off date to join this challenge will be February 1st.

(Taken from Tiffers old Vitamin challenge thread )

If you're taking vitamins and are slacking off, this challenge is for you! If you've never taken vitamins, now's the perfect time!

**The Rules**
-Take your vitamins daily
-When you take your vitamins, check in here to tell us. That way the thread can be bumped to remind other challengers to take their vitamins.
-List which vitamins you're taking, and at what dosage/
-There are no off days! Vitamins must be taken faithfully every day. NO excuses!

Who's with me?
