A chronicle of our personal quest to loose weight

Ready, Set, DO IT!

Okay – It’s a new year, but no new excuses – we’ve heard ’em all and we’ve used ‘em all. NOW IT’S TIME TO DO IT! Are we all ready to get serious about losing weight, being more active and maintaining a healthier life style? Good! – Lets do it!

I was thinking it might be fun to set up a “weigh in” schedule like Weight Watchers does. Here’s my proposal:

1) Everybody pick the day of the week that they want to “officially” weigh in for this site, and that day post your success (hopefully).

2) Pick a “goal” weight

3) Since many of us may not care to plaster our actual weight on a web site for the world (or even each other) to see, I propose this as a format:

Goal: # lbs you want to lose
Total: # lbs lost so far
This week: +/-# lbs gained or lost this week

My weigh in day is Thursday, so until this Thursday, my stats are:

Goal: 17
Total: 3
This week: -3

I want to lose a total of 17 (and KEEP it off!); through my last weigh-in (last Thursday) I had lost 3 lbs; and in my last weigh in (last Thursday) I had lost 3 lbs. I will weigh in again this Thrusday and hopefully my numbers will change a bit.

I don't know about you guys, but I could use the accountability of having to post my success or failure to my friends for support or harrasment - whichever you think I deserve!

What do you say? are you in?
