New DU? Or New D-YOU? Share your goals here! [View all]

With the kickoff of the new DU3 software, can we get some goal-sharing going on here?

I'm not close to a scale and that's by design. But I know I'm around 230 or so and a healthy BMI for my height suggests that I would be better at 160. That's 70 pounds - a long term goal to be sure.

But how about a six-month goal? That would be mid-June, 26 weeks. I think I can commit to at least 30 pounds by then, which should put me under 200 again.

Anybody else want to share?
