Hello...I am 58yo married and weighed 350 on Sept 24 on my visit to my doctor. I don't know too many people that are my age or older at that weight.....they must be extinct.... So, I am pretty serious about my situation and would like to be at 250 next September. MFP says if I eat 2,060 calories a day I should reach that goal. I started MFP on 6th Oct. I don't own scales. I think I have lost about 20 pounds since my Dr visit because I have already dropped a pant size, which typically equates to 20 pounds for me based on prior dieting. I have probably lost my current weight over my lifetime and put it back on again. Up 35, down 35 ten times is my weight on Sept 24. So far, I have met my calorie goal every day but one. I am determined to see this through, one day at a time. I have decided to wait and start excersizing after I get below 300 pounds as I don't want to over stress my ticket.
Thanks for helping with your likes and comments.

I'm Karen. Mother of two kids - 6 yo girl and 18 month old boy. I am at my highest ever weight now. I was not able to lose any weight after my son was born and have been going up steadily over the last few months. I need to have some surgery in January and am using that as motivation to drop some pounds. Hopefully being a bit lighter will speed my recovery and aid in the success of my surgery so.... Starting weight is 192 and goal weight is 175.0

Hi I'm Erin, recently finished high school and realised the freshman 15 wasn't just a myth! I am at my highest weight, 163 pounds at 5"7. Used to be involved in various sports during high school including rowing which made my appetite really big. Since finishing high school I haven't done much in the way of exercise so not only did I gain 15 pounds, but I gained 22 hahaha
My goal weight is to loose as much of that 22 pounds as I can before new year (New Year in Australia will mean beaches and bikinis)! Let the running and rowing machine become a part of my life once again
Good luck everyone!
Goals:
Eat less sugar
Drink more water
Make at least half my meal vegetables 0 -
I'm Liz and my weight loss journey has been a struggle. I started running a few years ago, triathlon recently, and though I'm not eating McDonald's on the reg now, I am not seeing the scale dip more than 10 lbs and then I get discouraged put it all back on!
I am in my friend's wedding in 2016 so would like to look more in shape by then.

Hello everyone! My name is Taylor, and I'm a 23 year old teaching English overseas. I was always overweight until college, when I lost a lot of pounds and got really fit. But the stress of my last year, plus moving to another country, ended up bringing me right back to where I started and then some. Just started MFP, so I'm looking forward to my first challenge to kick start getting to my goals!

Hello everyone, I'm Marnie, a 45 year old retiree, mother of a 21 year old daughter. I've struggled with my weight most of my life. I was starting to lose weight again about 2 years ago but then a year ago I encountered some back issues and that basically stopped most of my exercising. I'm now allowed to walk moderately for about 30-45 min a day. Unfortunately this put me back on the weight gain again. I know this is no excuse but I now have to try to learn to eat without having the benefit of those extra "exercise" calories to use.
Highest weight 205 lbs
Starting weight 198 lbs
Goal weight at end of challenge 178 lbs0 -

Hi everyone...I am Ashley, 31, single, working mom of two girls. I am currently at my heaviest I have ever been and am struggling with my food. I moved out of state and in with my boyfriend over a year ago, and had to quit roller derby because I was moving away. I didn't realize what a huge impact not having that exercise would mean for me. Since I moved, I have packed out 30 pounds. A couple months ago, I started working out, but have continued to gain weight because of my food. Ultimately, I want to lose 45 pounds, so I can have my clothes fit me again and so I can be more confident again!

Hi everyone. I'm noemi. I'm 21 no kids. Work 2 jobs & currently doing online schooling. I started my journey July 2014 at my heaviest 240lbs I've lost some weight but have unfortunately crossed into a lot of bums on the rd. At one point I got down to 205 at my lightest but now I'm back to 215 I DO NOT want to go up or go back to 240. I'm scared that I will. I don't work out like I use to anymore. I use to go on difficult hikes 3-4 times a week and before hiking I would hit the gym a lot but my trail burned down and ever since I haven't worked out anymore. That's no excuse but I let it get to me. Also my diet is the biggest problem. I'm a midnight eater I'll get up in the middle of the night and eat. Been doing since I was a little girl. Have had some successful months not doing it but I let my habits come bk someotimea. Diet is key and defiantly need to work in thatz & I need whatever motivation I can get because I want to reach my goal weight.

Hi, I am Karen, I will be the big 50 just before Christmas and would like to be at least on the road to a healthier me. I have 2 children daughter 14 and son 13 next week, I also have a home daycare so my eating isn't good. I eat usually standing and on the run as I have twin 1 yr old girls, a 2 yr and 3 and 4 yr old the rest are in school but those keep me on my feet. I have planned a family trip to Disneyland for Feb. and I feel if I don't get control on y eating then I won't be able to keep up with my family, none of them have any weight issues. I do think my daughter is starting on one, I think she is afraid to eat because of me she says no but not sure I believe her.
I know this is a long slow process but at the same time I want some weight off quick just so I see something that is working.
In total I need to lose about 80 lbs but I will be happy to lose 25 by the new
Heaviest weight 250
Current weight 242
Goal for new year 210
Ultimate goal is 160
Here's to a new start0 -
Hi, I'm Kari. I'm 27, married, and vegetarian. I lost 100 lbs back in 2008-2009. I maintained that loss for about 5 years until last year, then gained 30 lbs of it back right before deciding to get pregnant. I just had our son in late March and am currently about 6 lbs lower than my pre pregnancy weight. I need to lose about 24 more to get to my lowest weight again, but have 48 lbs in total to reach my ultimate goal of 175 lbs.
I workout regularly 4-5 days per week, and am passionate about Les Mills BodyCombat classes. I am currently trying to better myself and get closer to my goal before training to possibly become an instructor next year. I also love to run! This challenge will help me to get as close as reasonably possible by the new year!

Lowest Weight: 199
Challenge Start Weight: 223.6

Hello I'm Jen. 24yo.
I'm going to be in Puerto Rico for the first time ever for Thanksgiving, so I'm pretty exciting. I just want to get back to my lowest weight--which is about 10lbs away.
Thanks for making this group--great idea; I love accountability.0 -
Hi everyone, I'm Kristen and I'm 43 and single. I attended a friend's wedding last week with my dream date and I was so disappointed when I saw how I looked in the pictures. It really bothered me and got me to think seriously about my weight. I have a small frame and I should probably weigh 135 at my height, but I let myself get out of shape and now I have a lot of weight to lose. I have a winter gala in February and I'd like to be my ideal weight by then. My intermediate goal is 20 lbs by new year's. I'm trying to get to the gym and eat clean, but I have a real hard time with snacking in the evenings. I could use support, so please friend me if you're interested in following each other through the challenge.

Howdy from sunny South Africa. I have three furkids (Ok, one is scaly) at home and an abundance of furry, scaly, feathered, spikey, creepy, slimy kids at work - yes, it is a zoo! I am a lover of sea, sand and sun and looking forward to rocking my bikini on the beach soon. I have become a bit of a fitness fanatic this year, which has helped me lose most of my excess weight and tone down incredibly. As soon as I get OK from my physio (knee surgery last month) I will be back to my normal life which includes fencing, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, MMA fitness, weights, running, swimming, yoga.
Starting weight: 92.5 kgs (203,9 pounds)
Jan 2015: 88 kgs (194 pounds)
27 Oct 2015: 71.4 kgs (157.4 pounds)
Challenge goal: 68 kgs (150 pounds) or less
Ultimate Goal weight: somewhere around 60 kgs (132 pounds) I think
My focus has been this year to get fit and strong, and that led naturally to weight loss and I craved healthy foods. I am not sure of an actual weight goal, but I will keep doing what I am and expect that once I hit the right weight for me, it will be much harder to drop. Plus, I plan to keep making stronger muscles.

Hi, I am Mary, 60 years old here in Bethlehem PA and wanting to plan for 20 more!
I started to turn diabetic early in 2015 but have lost 25 pounds and need to lose 25 more.
Really this has got to be permanent this time!
Would love to go into the New Year having lost at least 15 pounds from this date.
I have two adult sons, both very overweight and feel guilty that they have my genes for overweight AND adopted bad eating habits. Planning on gifting them airline tickets for Christmas as a motivator to get in better shape to see the sights!0 -
Hi All! I am Maica. Been so long since I've been really active here in MFP. I am a 29 yr old homebased working mom to a 2 yrs old son. I am very petite as I am Asian. Small-framed. I am supposed to be already under a normal BMI but I am still kind of chubby and I still have considerable flabs. I really don't think the standard BMI fits many Asians. I am trying to lose weight, especially that Christmas and New Year is coming. I should be able to afford to gain a little weight by that time because it will also be an eating season.
Height: 5'0"
Highest Weight: 119 lbs (132 lbs during full term pregnancy)
Challenge Start Weight: 100 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 90 lbs at the very least
UGW: 85 lbs (I've been in this weight before and I look alright but I will stop when I think it is already an unhealthy look)
Fitness & Health Goals:
1. Establish an exercise routine.
2. Be able to eat intuitively.
3. Be able to eat more wholesome foods.
4. Be able to lessen carb and sugar intake.0
