    Hi! I'm Christine from Alabama. I have two young kids (age 5 and 2) and work full time. I still haven't lost the baby weight from #2. My goal is to lose 20 lbs. But another goal is to just get healthier, eating well and starting an exercise regimen. I currently am not doing any exercise and want to start.

    Hello. My name is Catherine. I'm 5ft 4in. I started out at 240lbs and have gotten down to 215.5lbs. My GW is 130lbs. I have trouble staying motivated so I'm hoping looking at the smaller achievements rather than the big picture will help me keep the motivation that I feel now. I had back surgery last year and need to lose more weight to help my spine and health.

    Hi! I'm Terri. I started at 217 lbs last November. I struggled until I started MFP on Jan 9th.
    I am 68 live in Bangor, N Ireland and plan to lose at 1 lb every week this year.

    My goal is to be 120lbs on my 70th birthday next April.
    Accountability is key to this being successful.
    I have logged on now for 41 days, so on a roll.

    Hi, I'm Kent. I started my weight loss journey about 6 years ago at 302 lbs. At my lowest, I was 192. I have since begun competing triathlons and love them! I am 35 years old. Over the years, i have gained a bit back here and there. I completed my first full Ironman race in September at 215 lbs. It was a great day, but I can only imagine what it would have been like at the lower weight. After Ironman, I had a medical procedure done that knocked me down for a few weeks and I lost motivation. I have put on 20lbs and am not happy about it! With race season coming, I have to do something NOW! I have a half Ironman race in April, June and September. I would like to race under 215 in April, under 200 in June and under 190 in September with my ultimate goal of racing Ironman Louisville in 2016 in the 170's, which I have not seen since the 5th grade! I am looking forward to this journey back into shape!
