Thank you "Jim376mfp" for getting us going this year. I joined the 2017 challenge and lost 30 pounds but did not reach my goal so I will continue through this year as well. This challenge has kept me accountable and focused one week at a time. The encouragement I have gotten over the past year has really helped.

Good luck everyone.
