    I would love to join!

    I'm currently 223 and my goal is to lose 8 lbs this month. I have not been losing a lot of over the past few weeks and I think a challenge is just what I need to hold myself more accountable. I eat about 1700 calories a day and work out 5-6 days a week. I'll have to post my measurements on the 1st.

    LOL. you will have to do a couple of long tough workouts and burn up those calories. i laugh because i have beene there. a co worker brought in chicago mix popcorn - i thought POPCORN! that is a healthy snack. Ha i found out (after eating several cups) that there is like 900 calories per serving...

    Count me in! I have a competitive side so maybe this will help...

    Initial weight 263 lbs
    Goal weight 140 lbs
    Waist 48 inches
    Hips 50.5 inches

    I am doing a walking program called Walk Off Weight and watching what I eat and counting calories on MFP. My motivation to lose weight is to ensure I am not too overweight to be a bone marrow donor in case I am a match for my sister. So for me, losing weight is not an option.

    I'm in for this one. It seems that every other day I go off the wagon, and I want to be in shape for a trip to Belize near the end of February. This will be great motivation for me.

    I will post my weight on Wednesday, as that is the day I usually weigh in anyway.

    I have about 10-12 lbs to go, depending on what the scale says.
    I am at 1200 calories daily
    I use a pedometer and track my calories that way, usually through treadmill walking.

    Great idea; thanks for starting this. Like others, this may be the kick I need to get back on track (I allowed a trip to New Orleans and then the Christmas holiday to derail me). Starting weight is 169.8. My pre-NOLA weight was 163, so I would like to get back to that by the end of the month.

    Good luck, Everyone!
