I was shame to put my weight out there too, but I'm using my embarrassment to motivate me to do something about this extra fluffiness I have gained.

I think you should join the challenge and for the "Current Weight" use the following smiley . In the "Goal Weight" section, just put however much weight you plan to lose next year (ex., 43 lbs. lighter).

Yes, I will go post it!

I’m too embarrassed to state my weight,so imma just lurk and be apart of the challenge in spirit.

Then don' post your true weight
Just use a space holder weight like 140. And if you want to lose 20, make your ending weight 120. Losing 20 lbs is losing 20 lbs. No one has to know how much you weigh.

If you don't what to do that just put your weight loss goal.

I think joining us and being a real part of the challenge can be helpful.
