    I'd love to join, too. I need accountability, but encouragement, too. I'm prone to bingeing/self-sabotaging when I feel deprived, so I'm trying to focus on all the positives instead of the negatives of getting to my goal weight. I'm a 42 yr old busy stay at home mom. I'm 5'5", 160 lbs with a goal of 130.

    Count me in!! I am doing this on my own and need all the friends/motivation I can get! Here is a little about me:
    38 yo
    5'4"
    231 lbs (down from 276 which is where I was 13 months ago!)
    Single, no kids
    Manager of an accounting department (which = sitting on my booty most if the day!). I love the people I work for and am not sure that I'd trade this job for anything
    Aunt to 2 very active boys, 10 & 4. I help my sister and her husband quite a lot with the boys and she and I are trying to help the 10 yo stave off juvenile diabetes
    My signature color is purple
    I love reading, writing, traveling, running (just recently bitten HARD by the running bug!), working in my church (avI'd JESUS LOVER here!) And going on short term mission trips
    I am going on a mission trip in June and have promised myself that I will have a 1 in front of my weight before I go, even if it is 199.99

    Thanks for putting yourself out there and putting this group together!

    My name is Elisabeth, and I am 26 years old, 5'7" and 210.4 lbs as of this morning! I seriously need a goal, and I need others to help me stay accountable! I would love to lose just 2 pounds a week so this is very doable! I will be weighing in on Wednesdays! I know it seems crazy to begin this before Christmas, but I have to start now! I can't go another couple of weeks until January 1st!

    A little about me:
    I am married to an amazing man, and we have an 18 month old daughter!
    Occupation: I am an R.N. per diem in a surgery center, but I mostly am able to stay home with my sweet baby!
    Favorite Color: Green
    Favorite Store to shop in: J Crew, Anthropologie and Target of course! ;)
    Favorite Hobbies: kayaking, cooking, sewing, photography, traveling!
    An interesting fact: My husband and I lived in Africa for 3 months back in 2012!

    Your turn! Ladies, feel free to add me! Let's do this!

    Svelte by Spring is the name of our group! ;)

    Yes! I would love to join you! Will send you a friend request.

    My name is Danielle. I am 46 yrs old, 5'4". Like a lot of folks, I have been battling my weight forever! I was at 145-150lbs and a size 8-10 for about 4 years, but then I slowly crept up to 184 lbs! I weigh 179.8 lbs as of this morning, and if I could lose 20 lbs by the end of March, I would feel that I can accomplish anything!

    More about me:
    I have been married to a wonderful man for 10 years! We chose to be childfree.
    Occupation: I am a substitute teacher and I volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium once a week.
    Favorite Color: Blue
    Favorite Store to shop in: The Goodwill (have a fab one here in Seattle!) and Marshall's
    Favorite Hobbies: Walking, reading, knitting, cooking (danger!)
    An interesting fact: My husband and I took a year off of work and traveled around the world in 2007-2008!

    Hello! Please count me in as well! I have been on and off MFP for 1 year and have never joined a group. I love your title and energy! Coukd really use the help to stick to it this time. I am an executive in a company on the EC...essentially a desk job. I need to get up and moving - but not too much. I was doing yoga (of all things!) And tweaked my back which meant no working out for a while. I am back at it. I weigh 135 now -started at 142. 5'2. Goal is 115. Game on girls!!!

    I'm 5'8.5 and weigh 193 lbs I believe. I've been this weight since August lol...haven't moved much and I've worked out hard core last month and October. Too many things went on this month that I've slacked a lot. Having this job will help me get my butt in gear lol.

    I get up every day to exercise at 4am (crazy!!) I know exercise is not my problem - it's diet. And not that I eat bad food (don't do fast food, chips, etc) , just not the RIGHT food. And maybe too much wine. ;)

    20 lbs by March would be fantastic!!! Let's do this! Add me in!
    Linda

    This is me ALL the way! I def enjoy the exercise (for the most part) but my goodness the diet is SO hard and I am true lover of red wine. I def need to "report back" daily to keep my butt in line!
