Absolutely :-)

If all goes well, I should be down a couple pounds for the next weigh in. I've been hitting the gym hard and have got some major control over my diet. Looking forward to seeing this challenge to the end with this great group of dedicated people.

Good stuff, Jamie. 208.7 lbs

Agreed, and well done. It does however look like a lot of people have already jumped shipped and bailed on the first weigh in.

Yup! Diet needs to be tightened up.

I was plagued with Reactive Arthritis for a couple years, and only recently (within the past few months) have I been able to put this crap in complete remission. It sucked, and was painful as hell. I remember the first time I was able to run on a treadmill, it took a good several trys to get the running motion to happen…

I would never ... :D

Set some goals and kick some butt!

I just checked the revised list of group members, and it looks like the men are significantly out numbered by the females (there's only a few of us). Let's keep the pressure on the ladies... !!

I can't really comment on your sodium question, other than you should probably tone it down if you're that high. With regards to your goals with this challenge set them high but attainable and don't sell yourself short. I just checked out your stats and with diet and exercise you should have no problem dropping the 2…

Jamie, we are the same weight. Here's my info. Start weight - 214 Goal weight (4 weeks) - 204 Goal weight (8 weeks) - 195 Goal weight (12 weeks) - 190

Howdy folks, I'm Jay. I started my dieting and exercise program almost two weeks ago, and I think this group would be great to gauge my success. Just a thought - Can we have the spreadsheet setup so that the individual with the highest amount of weight lost is at the top? This would provide a great level of added…

Good luck, Matt! I started this adventure with 1450 calories to consume each day. The first few days were tough as I felt hungry all the time, but my appetite quickly changed from eating smaller portions and I have been able to maintain the diet to date. Plan your meals, keep updating on this site, and watch the calories.…
