Start Date and reccomendations

Hi all,

So we are thinking a tentative start date to shed the pounds is Sept 16th with the 1st weigh in being at 18:30-19:30. We are going for 12 weeks to see who can shed the largest % of body weight. There are websites for in season foods in OR at this time of year, other sites that have useful information and diet plans to the right of these posts. If you are excited to lose weight and not sure where to start, take these weeks before the contest starts and do a food diary. Include portion sizes too.

A user friendly site is www.google.com/ig/ this also has an application for any of you who have an iphone. There is also an application that you can purchase for 30 dollars that will not only help you track your fitness and calorie goals but also help you with your daily tasks. If anyone is interested in that one, I am currently researching it to see if it is worth the cost. If there are any other web sites that anyone else thinks are helpful for diet diary and calorie counting please post.
