    Well I hit my first goal this morning. 26.6 down but it got me below 300. How everybody else is hanging in there. The holidays are the hardest for me but it's been going well.

    Awesome Brad. I have lost only one more lb so am at 184. I have just been watching portion size and working out doing about 20 miles a week. Hope everyone else is still hanging in there.

    Few hours left everyone. I am going to weigh in first thing in the morning. Been pretty good over the holidays so hope no gain. Can’t wait to hear all the progress

    I once lost 135 lbs overnight. Broke my heart. I still love that gal.

    But I'm willing to try again. I weight 225, which is weigh too much. Not sure what to do different. I do play handball, which is damn strenuous sport. Don't eat that much. Should give up soda. Refuse to give up beer. Seen too many diets fail.

    Stuck at 185. 10 lbs lost. Exercise, portion control and cut way back on sugar is what I have done. Let’s hear from everyone else.

    A bout of depression and poor food choices puts me in at 247 for the year. Still a net loss but I was doing much better.

    I maintained through Christmas. I cut carbs out of my eating and watched my portions a lot more, also consistent intermittent fasting (eating between noon and 7)

    I capped out 2019 at 285. I'd sure like to join this for 2020. I'd sure love to see the scale start with a 1 again but I don't expect I ever will. I'd like to focus on clean eating and toning up.

    Come to the '20 MKE Herf; there will be an afternoon breakout session on clean eating and toning up.

    I'm going to do better this year. Scale says 185... ugh went up 2lbs due to all of the holiday eating. This is a great place for me to start 2020!

    Sounds like a great idea. I’m in 👍🏻
    Maybe this time everyone that participates sends the winner a 5ver. Thoughts?
