    Ugh! My weight went back up to 207! I REFUSE to change my ticker, this is just fluctuations...my eating and exercise have pretty much been on target. Frustrating, though! In May I want to beat back 206/7 whatever and find my way to Onederland!
    Starting weight: 255

    Your start weight and mine are basically the same! I noticed your goal weight is higher than mine. You must be taller than me. Do you mind me asking how tall you are?
