I got really fit a couple of years ago doing Atkins and spending a LOT of time in the gym. However, I stopped following the low-carb lifestyle and with some injuries and a lot of laziness, my weight has climbed AGAIN! I am joining this site so that I can get back on track. I am really into accountability lately, so I figured tossing in some money and signing up for a competition should help me to stay committed. I love writing, so I figured blogging would make it fun! I signed up for two diet bets, I belong to a private bet as well as to the Transformer. In all, I need to lose about 50 lbs. I lost 70 the last time, so I know I can do it! This unnaturally warm weather should be a real blessing because I can still get outside to run. So much easier when you enjoy what you are doing! Good luck to everyone happy dieting!
