    Okay, will give it a whirl. Did I calculate that out to almost 2 lbs. a week???? ::::: faint ::::: Nothing like a challenge to keep a body motivated.

    GW 139

    It would be awesome to celebrate my 45th bday (Dec. 29) at just a little what I weighed when I got married! B)

    Does it count if I want to lose 40 pounds of fat, but perhaps put on a bit of muscle? If so, I'm in!

    CW: 202
    Dec GW: 162

    Would it be better to lose the weight first before trying to put on muscle, or try gaining muscle as I go? Good Luck all!

    I'm so glad to see so many of you joining this challenge. I feel butterflies in my stomach because I can already see us all fitting into a size 6, 8, 10,12 or whatever dress sizes our goals are. Thanks guy for joining in. And just as a reminder one more day to August 1st, so fasten your seat belt people.

    I am in need the motivation to release weight for traveling to Africa. A long flight would easier if I could slide easily in the seat.

    I'm in. 2017 is a big year for us. 20th wedding anniversary, my oldest graduates from high school and my youngest starts high school. Goal weight would be an awesome start! (tons of pics that I won't have to hide in)

    Add strength training for body recomp as you go. Otherwise you won't look as fit as you want to when you hit your goal weight. You could just measure your lean body mass if you track your body fat percentage. That way you are tracking the actual fat lost, not the weight.
