Would anyone care to join me in a friendly weight loss competition? We could do pound for pound or percentage based weight loss. I'll see how many people join up and we'll pick a start date later in the thread. I figure, we all take a photo of ourselves before and either make a video/photo showing us getting on the scale and logging our progress. If you're interested just post on the thread obviously.

    Ok, so let's try to get all of our starting weights in by Sunday night. Just snap a pic on the scale or video yourself hopping on. Let's see who can lose the largest percentage of weight from now until June.

    wow.
    you're probably the only person who'll show progress
    if you're the only one with a scale (buy a digital one)

    If you literally weigh your food to every gram and ounce
    you'll actually get the exact nutritional value out of each meal.

    :tongue:

    Don't neglect the healthy sources of carbohydrates, fat, & protein though...

    TrainSweatEat, do you have a food scale you'd recommend? I have a really old one (not digital)...a little dubious about its accuracy. Thanks.

    good luck everyone!

    Okay, I'm game. I've been working on losing my last five pounds since the middle of January. UGH!! It's not going anywhere!

    TrainSweatEat...you're right about weighing it before consuming it. That might just be my solution. I have a scale sitting on my counter...wonder how must that layer of dust weighs. Thanks for the reminder.

    I don't know how to post pictures, but I'll figure it out. This will be fun!

    Thanks for doing this vinchass9.

    I was 77.3 on Friday. I had not the possibility to weigh in again with a picture etc since I share my scales with someone else whose bathroom was locked all over the week-end.

    Sorry not to post a picture ;) good luck everyone!

    I'm checking in at 211. I didn't get a scale just weighed myself at work. If a scale pic is necessary to participate I will duck out just let me know!

    I don't have a picture either. I hope that's okay.

    This morning I was 124.6. I'm working toward 120.0. I've been working on this last 5 pounds -- belly fat -- for two months -- belly fat --. I have recently upped my exercise in the hope I can get rid of it -- belly fat --.
