<------When I joined, I put my start date underneath my user name, as someone suggested in one of the old threads from fall of 2009. I wish everyone would do this as, I agree, that information is invaluable in order to compare.

I'm not sure if I did that right. I started my weight loss in January at 219 and fought to get to 186 by the end of October when I found IP and since then I've lost 15 lbs. Let me know if this is confusing and I will adjust it to only the IP amounts. :?:
