We do our own thing (for me it's limiting my intake to meats and vegetables and exercising), and each Monday we weigh in and report our progress via group text message. There are 4 of us working at it like this. If you need to "firm up" I highly suggest this...it brings out my competitive nature, and I've dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks!
