I will not be joining this year. While I will be losing 10+ pounds after delivering baby, I don't want to worry about taking care of newborn and losing weight. But I'll support Chad
 
Oh, hugh nose I'm in! @dangerousdon was even lamenting that I would have nowhere to post my failure for a 3rd year in a row.

BUT..... I do have some concerns about some of the details:
a) "wearing the same clothes" ... Homey don't play dat! I never realized we had to wear clothes!
b) "weigh yourself first thing in the morning" ..... I pee first..... it's IMPORTANT!!
c) "Weight will be submitted by taking a picture" ... Do you realize how dangerous this is for me!! My wife has banned cameras in the ensuite and bedroom.

I don't know Sam...I think not losing muscle mass and being pretty healthy would be a pretty big win! I think most of your "failures" are actually successes!

Ok everyone, the thread for posting your weights is up in the private forum.

If you’ve done this before, you should already have access to it. If this is your first time, you should get access to it soon.

Nice! I envy you having places nearby for that. I used to live in an area like that and hiked all the time. Nowhere to do that around here. I hate that aspect of where I live. It’s all very flat.

There is probably a climbing gym somewhere close to you. Check this old fat guy out;

Not the same as outdoors for sure, but lots of people enjoy it.

Now that the New Year has begun...what are some of the ways that you are going to accomplish your goals? While I know many of you are going to key in on weight loss, don't forget about over all health. I personally am focused on two things in particular (and a whole mess of secondary goals): fat loss and building muscle.

I am testing a few things out currently to see what is going to work for me and what is going to be sustainable. But first and foremost I am concentrating on diet. I am going to eat a higher protein diet, reduce/eliminate sugar and grains (especially in the forms of processed foods), concentrate on whole foods, and keep overall caloric intake at a certain level. Next is exercise. Four to Five days a week in the morning I will do 30-45 minutes of low intensity cardio (Zone 2) training. And at least one day a week a higher intensity cardio training. Then on my lunch break commit to four to five days of resistance training.

I know this all sounds like a lot, but it all works well into my schedule so I don't have to get up super early in the morning and I don't have to do anything in the evening.

So, what are some of the ways that you will accomplish some of your health goals.

So … going with a speed and bourbon diet is not recommended? Hm … I may have to rethink my strategy. JK.
