    Hi, I would love to join. I don't have too many people to help keep me motivated. I have 58 lbs to lose and have lost 3 lbs. I am trying to eat around 1500 calories worth of food. And I am walking everyday but also doing 20 minutes of pilates and 30 minutes of cardio.
    I have been following this for a week so far.

    I would LOVE to join!! I have been struggling so I think this would be perfect! I haven't lost any weight yet. I have been going to the gym for about 2 months as well as making healthier food choices. But I've seemed to gain weight☹️ Maybe some accountability and motivation is what I need!

    I'd like to join. I've been working out and dieting since the end of February. If everything goes according to plan, I should hit my BMI by mid-June in time for summer. (My final goal weight isn't until the fall - and from that point I will commit myself to maintenance) So, I think this would be a good challenge for me because I'd like to keep myself on target (or ahead).

    Please count me in! I am trying to lose 15 - 20 lbs. After my 2 pregnancies, I made it down to my pre-pregnancy weight relatively easy, but when I stopped nursing I put on weight, fast. 10lbs in 3 months after my first child, the 2nd one I was more prepared for the changes and weight gain... but still put on a good 7-8lbs. Now I am exercising hard 2-3x a week and chasing 2 kids the other days and I am stuck at the same weight for a while now - I don't eat great, but not horrible (most of the time). I try to stay under 1,400 calories.
    Been on MFP for a while, but always stop using and then months later I come back for a bit. I am hoping to stay motivated this time...

    Hey,

    I'd also like to join the challenge and get back into it.
    I need to lose another 28lbs
    I've already lost 65lbs in total (between 2012-2015)
    I've recently been at a maintenance stage where I haven't gained or lost. I'm looking to get back into it and lose the remaining stubborn body fat.

    I will eat around 1600-1700 calories whilst working out 4 times a week consisting of weights and jogging.

    Im in.

    Currently at 282. Have lost 78 pounds since mid January. I have basically been cycling the same 80 pounds yearly for about 4 years. This is the point I generally start slacking off and gaining the weight back. I have managed to stay motivated a bit longer this time and dont feel like I am losing the drive. I would like to be down to 260 by the start of June. I am ultimately shooting for 200 by November when I am going on a vacation to Rome. 10 hour flight can only be more comfortable the less I weight. :smiley: I am trying to keep my calories up a bit so I am at around 2000 +\- 200 per day but I am also working out 75-100 minutes per day. I am walking/jogging (week 5 of c25k) approximately 6 miles per day plus doing a 30 minute upper body weight workout every other day. I take Sundays off to give my body a bit of a break from working out. I am concentrating on not pushing too hard. Last year when I was at this weight I was walking/jogging 10-15 miles a day and I think my body rebelled against me.

    I'd love to join. I've been struggling with binge eating and food addiction for the past nine months so my weight has been going up and down like a yo-yo no matter how many hours of vigorous exercise I undergo. But I'm determined to lose these thirty pounds.

    At the moment, I have 31 pounds to go.
    The most amount of weight I've lost was 14 pounds but at the moment, I've gained 12 of it back.
    I'm struggling with a 1200 calorie diet and I workout 5-6 days of the week.

    Hi, first day back on myfitnesspal, been gone for about 2 years with a couple of short bursts back on. I'm 190 5'2, Female. 49 years old. Been dealing with a lot of stress, bad eating habits, long recovery from car accident. I was at 205, lost 30 but gained back 15, so back at it. Eat a lot on the go with work, kids sports, other commitments.

    My goal is to lose 20 by end of July and to keep going and lose 50 total. I'll be mixing walking, soccer exercises, resistance band training, and small weight training. Will need to go slow to build up muscle and watch how my back and neck feels. All exercises at home or hiking trails. Thanks for having me!

    I could use support and motivation.

    --My goal is to lose 30 lbs, goal weight 155
    --I started at 185lbs...I'm down to 172 lbs (after 30 days)
    - -I'm on Nutrisystem, to help me retrain how I eat and regularly. My problem was eating too irregularly, then poorly at night. It's helped me to eat on the go with my busy schedule.
    - -I do not incorporate additional exercise at this time, as my job is pretty active daily. I prefer being active outside with aggressive yardwork, physical labor.
    - -I monitor my daily activity with my Fitbit.
    - my calorie count is 1200, and working on drinking more water.

    I'll join! I also need accountability. I need to lose 15. I eat mainly health-conscious whole foods, very few grains. I have been very active until about 2014 when my life hit some havoc. I NEED to get myself back. Back in the workout habit most of all!
