I know I can't be the only one out here starting a new diet on a Monday...
I'm looking to lose about 25 pounds. I could use an online support group to weigh in with every Monday.
Please post your starting weight & goal weight, and we will do weigh-ins every Monday morning!

8/8 Starting weight: 169 pounds
Current weight: 169 pounds
Goal weight: 144 pounds

    Hi Kate
    Starting Weight (this morning!) 157 pounds
    Goal Weight 140 pounds (fingers crossed)

    Let's go for it. Last year I lost 30lbs, got to 150lbs then have crept up again. Want to finally get to my goal weight and have started today feeling energised and ready for the challenge.

    Good Luck! :smile:

    goal is 135.0 (pre-baby weight!!!)

    My biggest challenge is eating. I workout 3-5 days a week but my challenge is eating healthy mostly on the weekends.

    Ah, the dreaded Monday morning weigh-in.. I was worried my some-what heavy dinner last night would seriously hurt me today.

    SW 169 .0
    CW 166.9

    I think it would also be good to say something you are proud about from last week and something you want to improve this week.

    1. So, I'm really proud that I lost 2.1 pounds and ran 1.5 miles on Saturday.
    2. This week I want to be better about logging my calories! I slipped towards the end of last week when I went out of town.
