The only 3 I thought I would see this year was at the beginning of my age.

I lost over 21 pounds two years ago doing a weight loss competition at work.....and then slowly gained it all back plus an additional seven pounds over almost two years. After being frustrated because nobody seemed to want to do another competition at work and I couldn't talk family and friends into one and I couldn't keep myself motivated, I joined a dietbet in June. I have completed four so far. I love this site, it is enough to keep me motivated. Based on your blog, I'm sure you will do well. I will say the first time the four percent didn't seem too bad, but it definitely gets more difficult every time. I'd say good luck, but I don't think you'll need it!
