    Can I join this link?..need some fresh motivation. I know I am two weeks behind your start up date. But I can log my actuals since I do keep track of when and how much I exercise and how much I weigh every week (hasn't been pretty...I have reached a ploto)

    I have been a member of MFP since Feb 2009. Currently a posting member of another link..which is still going strong..just need some new motivation. I will be turning 32 the last week in August, so your finish date is perfect for the motivation.

    If I could lose another 20 pounds by then would be great. I started losing weight last September

    (From September to December I lost 12 pounds.....From January to Feburay I lost 5 pounds....From February to now I have lost 15 pounds for a total of 32 pounds)....

    It FEELS SO GOOD to have that much weight lost....but I would :heart: to weigh in at 145 -150 pounds.

    I'll wait for an answer before posting any results
