    Glad to have the extra motivation and accountability! After keeping the weight off for around 3 years, I finally let 5 lbs creep back on (blame it on the bar exam, new job, new relationship, etc.). Time to start logging again!

    Hi Everyone,

    I am just now joining. I have had MyFitnessPal on my phone for ages, but I am just now committing to it. This looks like a great way to start it out. I have never participated in a discussion group or challenge so this will be a new thing for me. I am hoping that it provides me with some accountability. I'm also looking for other ways to stay on track and motivated.

    Thanks for starting this. :)
