Challenges

I have started some challenges with my husband and my good friend.  I am keeping track in the Map My Fitness app and a blog my friend am I set up as well as this blog. I am hoping that by participating in these challenges, I will get more active. I have been getting worse since my gall bladder surgery in May. I have gained 3 pounds since then. I know that isn't a lot, but I was losing prior and I am back on my thyroid meds, so the numbers should be going down. I need to make changes now so that I don't get back over 200. I think these challenges will be the kick in the pants I need.
