Join anytime, just cut and paste this template and modify it to fit yourself. You can choose any weigh-in report day, but we usually do one a week, and I always start with the first of the month for my own convenience because I weigh every day anyway. If you weigh once a week, choose that day instead.

Hi all! I'm back and excited for this month. I lost a bunch of weight last year, then started weightlifting and let the diet get a little (ok, a lot) sloppy. Ready to trim some of the fluff now!

I tend to weigh anywhere from 122 - 135 at any given time. I'm at 134 now and was at 126 in August...EEK! I'm back into logging my food so hoping that will help. I just got back from a kid free vacation and that was a lot of my issue. Hoping to get back into the 120's fairly quickly.
