I have been reading and re-reading the posts and checking this thread each day. However, I have been hesitant to post or sign up for this challenge. Very frustrated with my weight loss rollercoaster. Started Weight Watchers January 07 and quickly lost 10 lbs. Then the next several months I proceeded to gain and lose that same 10 lbs. I didn't take my measurements (which was a mistake since the scale wasn't changing but my body was and it showed in my clothes). I stopped WW because I felt like I wasn't really making the right food choices; I just learned how to eat the right number of points and still didn't make the best food choices for myself.

I know that WW works for many people and they are able to lose the weight and keep it off. I can't explain it too well but I decided it wasn't the best thing for me. I decided to go back to tracking my foods in my journal and trying to make better choices and to exercise consistently.

So here I am again. I am posting this time but still haven't made the decision to join the challenge

Ok, enough. The first step (again) is for me to move forward and take the step. Count me in.

Weigh-in for beginning of this week - 171. My goal is 10 lbs at a time.

Sorry for the long post.
