    Hello everyone. I have spent my whole life taking care of others, now it is time to take care of me. I am 100 lbs overweight and just want to be healthy. Weight loss was so easy when I was younger but now in my late 40's it is very difficult. I am excited to be accountable to the group and to see what changes we can make in 6 weeks.

    Hi Everybody. I turned 40 last week and boy, can I tell! I'm a mom of 6 and life pretty much revolves around my family. I have some ongoing health issues, but I'm resolved not to use that as an excuse to continue to be overweight. Looking forward to the accountability of this group!

    I love everyone's openness and willingness to share starting weights and personal challenges/ downfalls in their weight loss journey! Being open and honest and vulnerable creates such a motivating and safe community for encouragement and success. Sometimes when I feel like giving up and I just read other people's encouraging messages or respond to other people in need of encouragement and it rejuvenates my excitement for my own health journey. Thank you guys so much!

    I don't think I formally introduced myself. My name is Mal and I have recently returned to MFP. I was on previously and was very dedicated to logging daily, but I fell off the wagon (for about 3 years). However, I have stayed on my wellness journey throughout this time, so I'm not too far off from my goal. I am currently 165lbs and am very happy about this challenge. I am hoping it will give me the extra push that I need.

    I am a personal trainer and work with clients to get fit and healthy, but lately I have not been focusing enough on myself. I will be honest, it is tough to juggle everything, but I have decided I AM WORTH IT!!!! So are you :-)

    In this challenge, I would like to drop 6 lbs (one pound per week), which would put me back in the 150's.... I am eventually aiming to be somewhere in the 140's, but we shall see! Good luck to everyone... :-)

    Hello all! My name is Mark. I'm excited to be on this journey with all of you. I've been in decent shape most of my life however, I've struggled with my weight for the last few years. My biggest problem is that I still eat like I'm 16 years old. I now find myself needing to lose 65-70 pounds. My goal is to lose 20 pounds in the next six weeks, a lofty goal but with all of you definitely doable.
    Thank you for including me and I'm looking forward to great success for all of us!

    Hello all! I'm a little late to this but I really feel the need to be accountable to someone! In the past couple of months I have put on half a stone which is pretty unwelcome! (Stress= chocolate and ice cream) and now I'm really struggling to get back on track! Getting to the gym is the easy bit for me, in fact I am having to force myself to have rest days!!! I am very excited to be a part of this group and get back to where I was two months ago!
