I would love to join in this challenge, and if I get to 20 pounds I am happy to donate $20 of my own dollars into the pot as well! I think this is a great idea, and it will be great to be accountable to people not just on the WW boards.

My starting weight is 225. I'm 5'1, so I NEED to lose some weight and soon!

Instead of sitting on my bum between classes 10:30-12-25 3:20-6:15 here on the internet i'm going to take an hour out of both of those breaks, twice a week, to run around the campus for an hour. And that is minimum, I will run on the weekend too. And I will be working out at the gym with a friend 2-3 times a week but that's for the muscle. Also I will join you in donating on behalf of BP.net but I need to lose 50 lbs and so I will donate $50 when I do that.

I desperately need to lose weight, my high blood pressure and erratic pulse are not helped by the extra pounds I'm carrying.

So here goes. I swore I'd never reveal the truth about my weight in public, not even my husband knows the awful truth. Right now I am sitting at 207. I once said if I ever hit 200 pounds I'd shoot myself. So I lie. A lot. But enough is enough. If I can't do it alone, I can do it with the help of my dearest and best friends in the whole world, my fellow snake junkies here at BP.

I promise, if I lose 20 pounds, I'll donate $20 of my own money to charity. Here's to a brand new me!

I can fluctuate 5 lbs from one day to the next, so I try to weigh in at the same time of day, same day of each week. I've been weighing in on Friday mornings before work, so I'll try to remember to update an official number here tomorrow. As of now, I'm 5'10" and 218 lbs.

I'm a rookie at snake husbandry but if you need some advice on this topic I'd love to help, I'm far from new. At least that way I could be giving back. I'm not certified by anything but my workout partner is a NASM certified master trainer, if you need certified advice. 20 lbs is a great goal so while I won't join you on losing 20 lbs, I'll join you in donating $20 at summer time. Hopefully I didn't come across as a bragger, the intention was to come across as a resource if needed.
If you don't want any of my advice, I know where I can stick it
If you do feel free to pm me.
Other than that, again, good luck and I'll be breaking my back with you!

I think the donating to charity is also a good idea so I pledge to donate $1 to a charity for every pound I lose. I started 2 weeks ago so I am going to use that starting weight of 347lbs. I am currently at 339lbs. I plan to be below 300 by summer.

I've been eating/drinking healthy and am feeling FANTASTIC!! I've been using an app called Myfitnesspal to track what I eat and how many calories I consume.
I've also started running again. I didn't realize how much I missed doing that! Along with a couple different exercise routines.
Like a few people have said, I'd like to be involved, I'll also donate $1 per pound for however much I end up losing.
This is fantastic!!
