    I'm in too. I'm hoping accountability will help keep me on track. I'm sick of feeling like crud and ready to get healthy. Losing weight these last couple of years feels like it has been an impossible task. I'm 48 going through perimenopause and my body seems to have a mind of its own.

    Have you tried trendweight.com? I weigh daily (almost) but track the overall trend. It's the best balance for me between staying on track and not freaking out over a spike. It helps me when I see that the trend line is down even through the spike, and is a good early warning system if something's not working. But you have to give it a week or so to accumulate data first.

    I've never heard of that, but I can see how that would be helpful and much more reassuring if you do weigh daily though!

    I'm in! I have around 30-40 pounds to lose. Current weight: 165. Goal weight: 130. I love challenges like this! Accountability is everything! Currently I am doing Jamie eason's 12 week workout program, I love it. So far I have lost 8 pounds.

    Count me in! I've been slowly going at it for a few months. I had 2 weeks of horribleness that threw me back a lot. Looking for someone with similar goals to check in with

    Heaviest weight:215 (not pregnant)
    Weight plateau after having 2 kids: 182-170
    2 months ago: 176
    Today:166
    Goal: 140 by July (30th birthday!)

    I'd say Easter is more realistic for a 10 LB loss. Just knowing where my body naturally plateaus (155). Always been my hardest to drop below. But I also know staying dedicated I can loose more by then

    So excited to see progress this morning. I have been trying really hard this week especially with a houseful of junk food from the holidays still. I've not even been that tempted! I updated my Easter goal weight to reflect 20 pounds from today's weight.

    CW 280 (1/2/16)
    GW for challenge 252
    Ultimate goal (to start with atleast) 180 pounds
    I had a bogus weight yesterday (I knew it was abnormally high because of what I ate the day before, and I knew I hadn't eat enough to gain even a pound, let alone over 3) so I waited until today to do my official weigh in. Now that I've lost the 3+ bogus pounds I'm feeling ready to start this.

    Good luck everyone. Happy logging (food)!
