Hi my name is Nysha and I'm 24 years I'm a working mother and I go to school full time. When I first stated this journey I need to lose 76 pounds. Now I need lose 47 pounds so I'm almost there is been a struggle with having to boys under the age of 5 and working an going to school full time but I'm doing it and loving it . When I decide to make a change in my life was when my mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer and she is the first person and our family to every have cancer. I knew it was time for a change, my mom is overweight as well and doesn't eat right and I knew that I wanted to make a change so I could be healthy for my boys. So I started drink more water and taking walks. About a month of doing that I notice that my scrubs was a little tight but I thought nothing of it. And what did it was when I took a picture with my friend who was pregnant and I looked bigger than her. I never really thought I looked that big I always stayed away from the mirror and I only took picture from my neck and up. So my cloths was too tight and I was already at a size 18 and I was just so uncomfortable so I decided to do something and that's when I signed up and here and started doing the 30ds. I hope to lose all 47 pounds but Christmas:)

    HI I actually have 100 to lose but I thought if I cut it in half it won't seem unreachable.

    I've been on MFP since January and it's done me well. I feel good about the work I have done and look forward to what's to come. I have 16lbs to lose but would like to lose 20;but I've always kept it at " lose 1lb a week.." I feel like a single number makes things easier.

    Hi, I'm Janise. I'm a 23 year old graduate student getting a MBA. I have about 35 pounds to lose. I've been trying for about a year to lose the weight alone but keep getting off track and gaining back any weight I manage to lose. My main problem is motivation mainly becoming frustrated when the weight doesn't rapidly fall off. I'm hoping that joining this group will help provide me with the motivation and self-control I need to lose the weight and also begin an overall healthy lifestyle.

Motivation and dedication go hand in hand, and this site helps with both.:happy:

    Hi I'm Kristin, I'm 25 years old. I've been married for 3 years and have two children, a 2 year old and a 6 week old. I didn't struggle with weight until after High School. I just shut down and stopped exercising. I decided after I had my little boy that enough was enough. I wanted the energy and drive back I had when I was in shape, so that I can better take care of my children. I have 36 pounds left to lose. I originally got the app a year after I had my first son and it helped me lose 50 lbs but even then that wasn't ideal weight. I've been working out for nearly two weeks now and I feel so much better already!

    Hi, I'm Crystal. I joined MFP last year, but never moved forward. 20 days ago I decided to transform my life and rejoined MFP as well as began putting time in at the gym. 18 days strong working out at 6 days per week!!!! Starting the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred challenge with others on MFP and can't wait to see the results. I love MFP as it keeps my food diary without me having to look up any calories, carbs, etc. I'm committed to completing this journey and reaching my goal weight of 135 - 140.
