I'll play. Not fun, but my wife and kid deserve it.

I've already started, but my goal is % body fat loss instead of weight.

I'm in again. Dropped about 15 pounds last year, but didn't get near my goal of 210. I'm at 232 now. Spreadsheet would be nice, just another way to keep me accountable for my progress.

I'll play again.

I dropped from 289 to 242 this year, though I believe I've crept back up to around 250 following a cruise Thanksgiving week and all of the usual holiday laziness. If I just get back to what I was doing this past spring, hopefully I can get down to my goal weight of 220 by this summer.

anyone interested in trying to use an online group tracker where we can input our own progress (lack thereof) and see the group results without having to put the burden on just one person? I was looking around and saw these, not sure which would work the best:

http://www.fitwatch.com/fatpounders/

http://www.weightlosswars.com/ (looks like this one is $10/pp)

http://www.trackdiet.com/ appears to be free, but looks a little suspect

http://www.thintopia.com/ I like the look of this one

I went ahead and created a 12-week Texags competition on thintopia, it looks like it only posts % lost so if anyone is squeamish about posting actual weight it hides it for you.

We can see how this works or if someone likes another page we can use that. It's all a work in progress.

I suppose I'm in. Again. I've gained back a lot of the weight I lost so I need to make some changes.

I think the weightlosswars has a lot more features that would be useful. JMO

I'm signed up on Huggers site..will change if needed.

Dont get me wrong, this site is great and will what we want it to do, but it is pretty basic. weightlosswars has hundreds of recipes and seems to set up a more competition smack talk like board.

Hell, I'm in. I'm at 193, want to be at 175-180, so not too much.

Mainly I want to start lifting and doing more than just cardio.

I've had great success with Livestrong.com

The daily plate is free and a wonderful tool in my opinion.

I'm in. Either the $10 site or a spreadsheet sound good to me.

Cole, did you get your electric dog fence issue straightened out?
always gig em
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm in. Was following the couch to 5k for one whole week and quit because it got colder. Yeah I know.

Definitely need to drop weight.
Cole97
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sorta. I got it fixed. It shocks the hell out of her, but it doesn't slow her down. She just yelps as she goes over. So, now she is on a long lead when she's out.
G. hirsutum Ag
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So what's the plan here? There are about people signed up on treehuggers site. We can do a basic spreadsheet if that is easier

What about something like this?

Someone just needs to make a decision.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Oh...and I looked through the weightlosswars website...I really like that one.

I like how it has all the extra stuff in there too.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm fine with whatever... other than still being this fat in 3 months.

I'm in, I joined TH's site.
Funky Winkerbean
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I nominate TH's site..do we have a second?
rather be fishing
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm I'm on this. I don't want to mess with joining some site, so I'm favor of the spreadsheet as has been done in previous years.

I want in too. After our second kiddo was born I fell off the wagon and into a pile of pizzas, hamburgers, and booze. I'm up to about 235-240, and should be able to get down to 200.

So which are we doing? Weightlesswars.com. Thintopia.com or use a spreadsheet.

We need an answer!

I'm going to vote against weight loss wars because I think less people will participate due to the cost.

And 12 weeks is nice and all, but at 2lbs/week it's going to take me longer than that.

Just my 2 cents...
metrag06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I vote ThinTopia just because I already signed up and I'm too lazy to sign up again (probably why I'm in this predicament)

I agree 12 weeks is not nearly enough....

I'm in. Was also thinking about the couch to 5k route.
