My 20th reunion (back in '02) happened to coincide with my lowest weight the LAST time I lost a bunch (down to 184). It was pretty cool--I was probably twice that in HS.
My 30th will be next year--we'll see how that turns out

Michael

Hi! I've also been a lurker for the past month or so. I am joining this challenge as I need the support I have seen from this board. I am 241.6 lbs so my 10% is 24.2 (give or take the .2) Good luck all.

This is an Awesome Idea! And it's timing is great because it's right after my 31st B-day and Right before my Husbands 24th B-day which was one of my goal days too. So, though I have weigh in tomorrow, I know my weight is right at about 180lbs so I'll say I've got a goal of 18 lbs to lose by July 4th.

hi all
i just want to share something with you. I had my BF measured (digitally) on 19th Feb and it was a huge number. Then, six weeks and six pounds later, my BF was 3.5% lower!!!! I am so happy you can't quite cheat on body fat measurements, can you? Like if you know you have a weight-in tomorrow, so you go easy on the dinner tonight. You can't do that with body fat. I lost some weight and I expected the number to go down, but i thought maybe 1-2%.
I lost some 20lb since i started here on fitday, but part of me still doesn't believe that I'm actually losing fat, Now I even know how many % I'm losing

I'm In
4/3/11 268.9#
Goal: 246#
I'm going to give it my best shot. Thanks for putting these challenges here.
I started alli today. I've had success with it before with little side effects. I am going to see if it helps me get to this goal.
