    Hey! I don't join these things normally, but recently I sort of 'fell off' a bit and wasn't really tracking my progress (or, regress?) until I realized that my tummy was looking poojey and my weight had slowly and steadily increased from 125.6 to 136.4 lbs :noway: from May to August. I am down to about 134 (on my TOM right now). Are we doing inches lost as well? I think that would give us a more inclusive look at our progress.

    So here's the other stuff

    Starting Weight: 134.6
    January 1st Goal Weight: 124.6 (8.5 if I lose 1/2 lb a week, but I'll round up to an even 10 to challenge myself :wink: )
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 118 (or 19% body fat)
    Inches Goal: 1-2 inches off the following: abdomen, butt, inner thigh
    Hobbies: designing and implementing workout programs, hiking, reading, finding obscure music artists
    Interesting Fact: I'm the first in my family to pursue a PhD

    I was 135.6 this morning after a free day yesterday (Cold Stone!!) and this evening weighed in at 134.2, so I actually lost during the day (coming off that 'time' too). My free days are usually Thursday nights but I needed a break yesterday LOL.

    I'm going to track inches too!

    Weight: 134.2

    Waist: 28
    Abdomen: 29.5
    Butt: 39
    Inner Thigh: 23.5
