All - since we "start" Monday, figured I'd give my am starting info. Post as you wish to give yourself some baseline.

Just post SOMETHING, even if it's just one metric. It helps immensely with accountability.

Weight: 199
BF % per Aria: 16.7%

    Starting weight 151.6, although I think this is way higher than my true weight but I'll take it. I blame boat drinks and last night's cheeseburger. Measurements and photos to come.

    I'm going with weight because it's straightforward to measure. ;) It's up this morning because I was hard on my poor body all weekend, but I'm being good to it again today.

    I should add that getting to 170.0 would put me at a BMI of 29.9, so out of the Obese category and into just Overweight :smiley: For some reason, that makes me super happy! LOL

    Definitely NOT a healthy goal!

    Public service announcement. After a bit of research I've learned Android users cannot post photos from the app. It must be done from the website.

    Agreed. In your case I would set a BF percentage goal instead of a weight goal. If you do this the weight will take care of itself IMO.

    Good luck and glad you're here!

    Starting weight: 198 *sigh* up five pounds in two weeks. My first big goal is to get to 180. I'm halfway there. But I also need to focus on inches lost instead of just what the scale says. We are at war right now.
