Hello! I'm joining in, but just a bit later. We have residency interviews all week and are taken out to breakfast, lunch, dinner etc nearly every day. I'll be away from home from the 3rd through the 10th.
But the weighing, tracking, etc won't start until January 11th. I'm breaking my Monday Diet cycle

but it's the first time I'll have access to the gym, etc. Maybe I'll do some jumping jacks or situps in the hotel
But I'll be here and working with you all starting the 11th. My goal is more working out than dieting. I struggled throughout middle school and high school with an eating disorder (I was an almost-full-time dancer, big surprise that that followed).
(Ballet.... nothing dirty, DDAs

)
So I know myself, and try not to start down the same controlling path when it comes to food......
Side note: You'll be happy to know though, that -- physically -- I'm more than recovered. I weighed about 95 pounds in high school and the first part of college (yuck) and have gained QUITE enough since then.

My ultimate goal would be to lose 25-30 pounds, which would put me smack dab in the middle of my ideal weight range.

I weigh myself weekly at the gym (when I'm working out reguarly) but that's it. So HOPEFULLY my focus is not going to be as much on pounds but on working out 5 times a week.
Good luck to all of you.... YOU CAN DO IT!
