Thanks, @RubyRed427.
Coincidentally, ~15 pounds will be a good goal for me. I'd like to get down to 220. I have been weighing in on Fridays, but for this new challenge I think I'll change to Sunday -- 13 weeks exactly from August 1st to October 31st. (tomorrow, I'll post my final weight on our previous challenge)

15 lbs is a good goal for me. In October I've got 2 reunions I would like to look and feel my best for.

I'm in! I've been stalled for about 4 months, and while I've been seeing some good non-scale improvements (yay!), I neeeeed to see that number drop! 15 pounds will get me to (and past my goal for 2021) and that would be fantastic.

I am 37 yo female
starting weight 163, weighed just 15 minutes ago. my goal is to lose 48 lbs in half year.
but I will post to your link for the first 15 lbs.
I will post daily. Because I am a very focus person. The reason I gained weight because I was too focus on my study and couldn't maintain weight. Now I have a gap time for my study, so I can get my weight to shrink down a little bit.

I work using backward design model (in education- start with the end in mind, work backwards planning each step, etc.). Start with the end in mind. I took a calendar. I found October 31 and wrote my goal weight. I then write back each week the weight i'll be on that Monday. So, today I wrote 175. I'll also write down each week one goal I want to implement like "yoga class" or bike ride, etc. I tend to get things down if I write it down instead of just thinking it. Just a thought.
