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.

You and I are the same height! And i consider myself fairly petite but I weigh more than you lol. But I am fairly "dense" and I'm not willing to give up a lot of my muscle. It'll be interesting to have someone in the mix whose goals are more similar to mine, though

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.

Challenge Start Weight: 162
Challenge Goal Weight: 145

I'm going to add a couple to this.

My long term goal is 130-135 ish.

My goal is to stick my triathlon coach's mid-week plan, which means doing ALL my swims and ALL my strength training sessions. I'm also trying to become a stronger cyclist so I plan to bike 3 times a week

Hi my name is Carl. I am 55 and my two children have moved on. I am now married but I often feel alone because my partner has stopped being so active and I am left to my own motivation joining activities with new friends. Its hard being self-motivated and I do feel the fear of going out alone to join activities with others.

I enjoy (Ashtanga) yoga because I can socialise with others but my own mat is my own personal space. I also meet with another group of friends to go sea swimming and I suppose we share the sea of course but again, I get to control my own space.

I am 5'3" and my ultimate weight goal is 140 then to reassess and lose more if healthy to do so (I could be 130-ish and still be within BMI range). The lighter I can be and be healthy, the easier my yoga practise will become.

My highest weight has been: 190
Challenge start weight is: 166
Challenge goal weight is: 158. Starting this challenge late, at 1lb per week for 8 weeks left to the New Year.

Fitness & health goals
1. No more late night snacking.
2. Do yoga every day and keep my swim meets up even if it means travelling out alone.
3. Walk my dog every day - we both need it.
