No Carrie, I'm not starting yet. I plan on starting 1/2/04. Or 1/3/04 w/out caffeine. Not positive on that yet.

Looks like we have a lot of takers here. I'm looking forward to watching you all shrink away I'm hoping to be one of them that shrink

I am totally in! I marked my calendar, yay! ha i'm shooting for 15 pounds, although 20 would be nice ;-)

Ok, so I started my induction a little earlier than I thought. But it was either that or continue to gain weight. NO WAY!! lol It's kind of scary. My body never caps out on weight gain. I can just gain an infinate amount of weight no problem at all. OUCH! Atkins isn't a choice for me. I would totally kill myself with out it. Nothing else works but things. Splurges are not that big of a thing once in a while, as long as I get back on track with the real plan. 3 bls lost today! I gained 4 lbs over the holiday, and now that is gone! So today starts my real goal of 10lbs at least lost by Valentines day.

Good for you !! well done!

Yay, i definately need a challenge! I'm going for 15 pounds, which would put me around my goal of 110.

Re-doing my start weight and weight wanting to achieve. Dang holidays!!! Today is day 1 of induction so hopefully next Saturday I can totally lower this a LOT!!!

Ok, I'm changing my goal to 190. I have been going pretty slow on the weight loss thing.

Adding in my start weight. It's 181 ( ), so it will be a 12-pound loss for me by Valentine's Day.
