I've got a leg up, I started last Tuesday I have quite a bit more to lose than 20 lbs though. Really didn't have anything to do with the season, just felt it was time to do it. This last summer I was able to lose about 14 lbs in three weeks, but I had a massive gout flare-up that kept me from being active for almost 2 months. Now, after many month and much weight gain, I'm working out 6 days a week again, and I'm not even going to worry about what the scale says. This has become more about my health than about the weight; although the two go hand-in-hand.

Since I don't feel like keeping track of numbers I guess I can't "compete," but it's always nice to have a place to "check-in" and get some motivation.

Good luck to us all,
Rachael
