Welcome to the 2007 BendisBoard Weightloss Challenge. A few things to remember:

1) This is not a contest, but feel free to use these threads to help yourself be more competitive if needed
2) We are all free to use our own weight loss plans, exercise regimens, etc.
3) Participation is fully voluntary and you may come and go into the "challenge" as you wish
4) Please only offer advice to those who are asking for it. Do not be a Weightloss/Fitness Nazi.

I didn't check in last week, since I haven't weighed myself since week 1. At my physical I weighed 257 with all my clothes and shoes on.

But today I start a job where I have to walk 5-7 miles a day, so that'll help.

[Jen Grunwald]

I lost 2.2 lbs. since Week 1. Not bad considering it's the holiday season! I expected to gain! (Though that's still a possiblity, I've got more parties to go! I had two pieces of tiramasu cake at the Marvel Holiday Lunch today... )
