I just weighed in yesterday for the first time in a couple months and the first two numbers were 27* for the first time ever. I guess I need to revise my long-term weight loss goal to 50lb.

So, how many people are going to join the challenge? We need at least 6-8 to make it worthwhile.

Also, what diet is everyone doing? I think my wife and I are going to try South Beach this time. I've done Atkins a few times in the past, but I think South Beach will be easier to maintain longer term. I can handle Atkins for about a month or even two, but I simply can't go without some of the foods I love permanently. I lost around 30lb in 1.5 months on Atkins last time I did it, but it all came back within 6 months of going back to my bad eating habits.
