    Hello I would I would like to join your challenge. I've been on fitness pal for years. In total I've lost about 50 pounds. I want to lose 10 more pounds. Currently I carb cycle which means I alternate between high and low carb days. I try to eat between 1200-1500 calories a day. I exercise about 5-6 days a week. I really need to up my cardio so I'm going to work on that. Looking forward to the challenge.

    Would like to join the challenge. I am struggling to change my lifestyle.

    I need to lose 12. I haven't lost any.

    I have been inconsistent with a diet and exercise plan. I try to find a half an hour to an hour.

    Hi there!
    I want to loose between 5-7 kilos.
    I put on weight during my pregnancy and lost already 12 kilos.
    I don't exercise a lot-my knees are bad and I'm often just to tired. So motivation is really wanted and needed! I walk about one hour a day pushing a stroller, doing groceries ect. I do pretty well food wise-unless we have friends over for dinner or go out-still lots to learn!

    ~ I need some stay power! ( consistency)

    My goal is to lose the last 20 lbs. I have lost 7 lbs. before MFP.

    I eat around 1600 calories a day, eating back my cals. 80+ oz. water.

    My workouts are gardening and 12k steps a day goal.

    My ultimate fitness goal is to get into strength training / lifting! <3

    I need to stay ~ spot on to see any positive change.

    Would like to join. 5'2". 34 years old
    Have lost roughly 75 lbs since highest pregnancy weight (have had two kids). Have still 10lbs to my original goal but have been stuck at 125-130lbs for last six plus months. I do mostly Jillian workouts at home (4-6 times a week) plus whatever the requirements of my days need (chasing two kids around, helping out on two farms and dealing with my regular job). Have been trying to up my weights in my routines, as I would like to build more muscles. usually eat 1200 plus half my exercise calories back, cook a lot from scratch, and eat everything just in moderation. Coffee and choclates are my downfall.

    I want to join!! At my heaviest I was 215 lbs. My lightest I was 146. Unfortunately I gained some back recently and am now 160. I want to lose those 14+ lbs back!! My goal is 145 (I'm 5' 9") I want to continue my workout regimen (I lift 4 days a week and run 4 days a week with 2 "rest" days where I do light cardio and a stretching routine. My problem is eating crappy foods and LOTS of it. I want to make sure my diet stays between 1300-1600 cals. I just need something to hold me accountable so this is perfect.

    Hi! I would like to join your challenge! First, I'm new to MFP. I signed up a couple of years ago I guess, but actually used a different app. Lost 50 lbs! ... now, I had gained about 12 lbs over the winter. So....

    I have lost about 6, of those 12.
    Ideally, I would like to lose about 8 more.
    I'm trying to eat around 1400 calories per day. I do a lot of yard work for being active, and Jazzercise, and sometimes a Personal Trainer.
    I recently shifted my focus from weight loss, to lowering my Body Fat %. So, I'm focused on what I am eating first, then the calories.

    Excited for new motivation!

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Apinya. I also would like to join the challenge and motivate myself along with you guys. :)

    So far I have lost 5 kg. And I wanted to lose another 10 kg. My calories intake is 1200 per day. Workout 4 days a weeks.

    This is gonna be my first challenge so I'm very excited! Cheers! :smiley:
  • I would love to join!
    I have lost almost 4 pounds since joining MFP a few weeks ago, and have 34 more pounds to lose. I struggle with binge eating, but preloggling everything helps me a lot. I try to get in any sort of exercise (whether it be a walk or going to the gym) at least 3 days a week. I have asthma, so any exercise I do has to be be low to moderate intensity. I'm trying to motivate myself to go to the gym more though! :) I would love to help encourage others!
