Just wondering if we should start a thread with our current weight, and the 30 or near 30 weight, measurements or anything else. Any thoughts? ideas? :drinker: cheers to us all for doing this!

    I vote for weekly weigh-ins...I find that's better accountability! How about we make Wednesday's weigh-in days?? So tomorrow we all can post exactly where we are in the morning and go on from there. :-)

    I have a bit more than 30 to lose, but it's an excellent start.

    Starting Weight: 254.4
    Current Weight: 244.6
    Goal Weight: 190, maybe a bit lower. My lowest weight was 180 and I was bordering on "too" skinny at that point.

    Starting Measurements:

    Bust 40
    Waist 34.5 (smallest)
    Waist 40 (fattest point just below the belly button)
    hips 40

    Measurements now:

    Bust: 37
    Waist: 31 ( smallest)
    Waist: 37 (fattest point just below the belly button)
