so my little rescue chihuahua is my baby. I'm absolutely crazy about him and he is always with me ❤️
I'm sorry to hear that, but dogs can be just as much of a baby as you let them! Mine sleeps in my bed haha. And she has to have her teddy and the blanket over her or she cries until I fix it!0 -

Hello everyone. My name is Ali and I live in a small town called Netherton which is in the West Midlands, UK. I'm 44 years old with a little boy soon to turn 4 years old. I live with my son, husband and two very irritating cats.
What are my Goals?: I will lose 50 pounds by October 2015
What is my Plan?
I am tracking everything in MFP, well I will start again today.
I am be doing the Jillian Michaels Shread again and have been trying to build up the courage to start C25K.
I will cut out the cheese and biscuits (my downfall).
I will be healthier by the end.
As an older mum I'm so aware that I need to be as healthy as possible to be around to see my little one grow up. Plus I have already been asked if I was his Grandma. Things need to change.0 -

Who am I ?
My name is Susan, 33 and I'm originally from London UK and now living in a small village on the Lincolnshire / Leicestershire border with my partner and our 2 pooches Oska & Jasmine who are my absolute babies. I've been on a diet ever since I can remember. My heaviest recorded weight was 220lbs back in 2009, by 2010 I was 169lbs then I began gaining weight again. In June 2014 I was back at 207lbs. I'm now 170lbs so pretty much back to my smallest dieting weight. I'm not falling off of the wagon this time, I have my goals firmly in sight.
What are my Goals?:
Ideally my goal weight is 126lbs but I will be happy to get to 140lbs. I am 5ft 3.5. I would like to lose 30lbs by September.
To buy a pair of skinny jeans, to go with my converse trainers that I've never worn as they look silly with flared trousers.
What is my Plan?
•I will log everything I eat, unless I have a rare night out, then I will try and make sensible menu choices.
•If I mess up and binge, I will still log everything and not pretend it didn't happen.
•I will continue to log into MFP every day.
•I will set myself small weight loss goals and reward myself with little non food treats (next target is to weight 161lbs) Once I reach this goal I will buy myself a....(haven't decided yet!)

My cocker spaniel sleeps in my bed. Crazy right??? But he's so cute I have to let him. When he sees I'm getting ready to go for a walk he runs to the drawer and tries to open it and get his leash.
I have a Cocker Spaniel too! He is my baby and definitely spoiled!
Oh let me see yours!0 -
So many fantastic success stories. I'm seriously having some puppy envy . . . stupid allergies!0

I wanna lose 45 lbs, but I also wanna become stronger, and put on some muscle. I also would like to become more agile, and flexible during this the process and heighten my athleticism. Eating wise, I would like to significantly increase my intake if veggies/fruits and vegetarian sources of protein. I wanna cook and eat as cleanly as possible, and have the strength to abstain from cheat days.

To start: roller derby 3x week, jogging and basic weight training 3x, I'll adjust these fitness goals as I get closer to my goal. I'd like to lose around 1.5-2 lbs a week. I know eventually it'll start slowing down. Eat healthy for both wellness and weight loss.
Of course I wanna stay honest about logging and drink lots of water!

Who am I?
My name is Alicia, 34 years old and live in Upstate NY. I live with my husband, 7 year old son, 1 senior citizen pup and 1 15 month old Newfoundland pup. I suffered from Anorexia during my high school years and slowly began to gain weight and became healthy. Held a healthy weight of 135 to 140 until I got pregnant with my son. Gained a total of 72lbs and fought to get it off. Met my husband 10 months later and was weighing in at 150lbs. Weight slowly added back up. Exercise was limited due to back injury, cravings got the best of me and when I got stressed, I ate. Exercised it off last spring and lost 20lbs. Came all back to me plus some.
My time is limited during the summer months since I become a single mom while my husband travels for work. I am now starting a meal and exercise program with help from my husband to get myself more stable before spring/summer hits.
What are my Goals?
I want to lose 40 to 50 lbs (and keep it off), eat healthy and strengthen my back and core. Would like to have it completed by Feb 2016
What is my plan?- Sticking to the Lean 25 diet for 12 weeks
- Drinking 64 oz of water a day
- Use Myfitness Pal to record all my food intake & keep my Fitbit Charge linked
- Exercise everyday. (either with DVDs or treadmill)
- Keep pushing & get support from the group
Great to meet everyone and cant wait for the support to get these pounds off.0 -

Who am I ?
I am Dusti and I currently live in Northern California with my husband, daughter, and two cocker spaniels. My husband is a pilot for the Coast Guard so we move around every 3-4 years. I am originally from Alabama and the hubs is from Virginia. We have two daughters, one deceased and one living. Our youngest little girl is only 2 months old and keeping us pretty busy. We enjoy being outside and have several hobbies that have taken a backseat to the new baby. We like to run, cycle, hike, camp, backpack, travel, kayak, drink craft beers and wine, eat good food, and just generally absorb some sunshine.
What are my Goals?:
I've been a member of MFP since 2011 and am back again to drop the weight I gained during pregnancy. I've already lost 23lbs and have 50lbs left to be at my original weight. I am breast feeding so I have to keep my calories high enough to keep my supply strong.
I have a few mini goals or milestones along the way, and end goals for the finish. I am giving myself one year to reach my end goals (started January). I have an Excel spreadsheet to track my journey that includes weight loss, measurements, TDEE and calorie calculations, and a chart to track the progress. My milestones are: first 30lbs lost = hot stone massage, next 20lbs lost = new clothing, next 10lbs lost = new hair style or color, next 8lbs lost = new pair of running shoes/gear, and the last 5lbs = family photography session. My end goals are: 140lbs, back into my clothing at a size 6, normal BMI range, and 25% body fat. I know these goals are achievable with time and effort because I've done it all once before.
What is my Plan?
- I will run again and have already started with intervals (3x per week for now).
- I will add cycling back into my routine, and I just bought a sweet new carbon bike.
- I will strength train at least twice a week. I am currently doing a "push up challenge" for the next 30 days.
- I will learn to be flexible with my plans so that I can exercise when I find the time.

Who am I? Tami, mom of three, from Boston, but live near St.Paul MN. I have been getting healthy since 2011 after I found out I was pre-diabetic and realized how I was slowly killing myself. During the first two years I lost 75 pounds and got active, thus kicking pre-diabetes to the curb. As I got physically healthy, I also got mentally, emotionally, and spiritually more healthy, which led to losing 235 more pounds (my now ex-husband.).
What are my goals? Fat loss. Lose 50 pounds of fat/water weight. Maintain LBM; increase strength. Move from practicing self-care to feeling self-love. Feel good about my relationship with food.
My plan? Track my eating on MFP daily and stay on plan regarding calories. Continue lifting heavy. Love myself enough to encourage myself daily. Practice discipline with mercy.0 -
