    Can I join please.  I’ve put quite a bit of weight on due to a stressful few months and I need to sort myself out and get serious about it.  I would like to lose about 12 lb for now please and then go from there.  Thank you

    Hi, I'd like to join this year too please! I'd like to lose approx 17lbs during 2024, so for the first quarter I will look at losing 5lb. 

    So 5lb first quarter / overall 2024 17lb

    This is a thread where I can have some extra accountability.

    Thank you for the new thread @Brambling. I have no idea what I now weigh since I stopped in the run up to Christmas - I'll have put on for sure, I feel like I've been eating non-stop for weeks.

    I am in again please, regardless of current weight I am aiming for 14lbs off in the first quarter of 2024.
