I'm a little concerned because this challenge (seems?)a little more long term than the old one, and I tend to lose sight of goals when they're too far away, but the challenge worked well for me last time so I'm willing to give it a shot!

Thanks for setting this up. It will motivate me, and so cool that you set up a separate dedicated blog for it. I hope you get a great following to keep us company, spur us on and create a bit of teamwork and support. I am feeling very optimistic today as I ate very healthily all day yesterday and today; it feels good!

Starting Weight: I wish I knew. I weighed myself yesterday, and for the first time ever the scales showed "ERR" instead of a number. My scales weigh up to 400 lbs., so... needless to say... I was totally devastated. You can read more about it on my regular blog.

This is a nice long challenge but it is perfectly timed. You see... I am having surgery on my right ankle on (or about) June 29th and I would like to be safely under the 200 pound mark. I also think 25 pounds in 5 months is perfect = 5 pounds per month.
I am looking forward to this.
If anyone is interested I am on twitter @bwJen
Good luck!!

*I hope you don't have to read this twice. I thought I posted it but don't see it.*
So here goes again...
I want to be in onederland prior to my ankle surgery. I have a really weak and destroyed ankle ligament that will be surgically repaired on or about June 29th. So this challenge is perfectly timed. Thanks CC for getting another one started. I have obstacles to this goal [but who doesn't] but I am determined not to let anything stand in my way.
I am also on twitter @bwJen
Good Luck to all!!

I am fairly new to blogging so this is still new to me. I hope this will motivate me. At work there is a "biggest loser" contest I was too ashamed to join at my weight (because two people at my workplace would know my actual weight). This seems like a safer place, but will give me something and someone to be accountable to besides myself.
I know my 52 pounds is high, but i figured 10 pounds a month could be done! If I lose anything, I will be happy!
Thanks~Keli

My starting weight today is 164 lbs. By July 4th I'll be down to 140 lbs. That's 24 lbs by July 4th. (a do-able number seeing how slowly my first 8 lbs has come off- since Jan 1st...)
I'd like to join the challenge. I think it'll be just the think to keep me on track, another layer of accountability.
