Hey I thought that it would be a good idea to introduce myself and give a bit of background information.

I just turned 25. I have a almost 15 month old. I am in the navy, I work as a logistic specialist, which in normal terms is I handle money, suppplies, and more things. I am married, my husband also does the same thing as I do.

My weigh loss goals are to be in the low 130's if I can, but I want to be a lean and muscular 130's, so if that means that I am close to 140's that is okay. I want to look good again. I have almost reached my 1st goal which is to be 140. YAY ME!

So here are my stats

Age: 25
SW: 153.4
CW: 143.1
GW: low 130's but muscular


Also should we do like mini weekly challenges?

    Hey, I think it's a great idea. It will definitely keep us motivated!!

    I'm Amanda and I live in Orlando. I work as a crisis counselor at United Way. I am also in school full-time for a sociology degree and I will be pursuing my law degree soon as well. I am trying to shed all the weight that I put on in my last relationship (you know how you get comfortable with someone a little too much??? hehe).

    Stats:

    Age: 26
    Height: 5'7
    SW: 256
    CW: 252-254 (thanks to the 4th of july holidays lol)...today it was 254.7 so let's go with that one.
    GW: 175

    This should be fun!!

    Hey guys,
    I'm Leesha, 21, and a full time college student with part-time cashiering gig.
    I gained a significant amount of weight from working in fastfood (TACO BELL!!!). After gaining 60lbs, And then some after getting more money from this job, I have a LOT to lose to get back to where I'm at.

    SW:260
    CW (weighed today at 253)
    GW:160

    My wedding is in December of 2014 (yay army planning...), so I want to lose 100lbs by then. So far so good, I'm thinking! According to my planning, I need to lose about .2 a day, or 6lbs a month. Not totally un-doable, so yea! The more support, the better!

    Ultimate GW: 160-170

    I am doing the Jillian Michael 30 Day Shred right now...Day 2 of Level 2. (I'm not doing every day).

    I like the idea of mini challenges...daily or weekly. In the past I've done some daily challenges, like 200 jumping jacks or 100 calf lifts etc. I can help with ideas if we do that.

    I think that is a really good idea.
  • Hello! Happy to be a part of this group.

    I'm Priya from India. 29 yrs old.

    My Stats:

    Height: 5 2'
    Current Weight: 82 kgs

    GW1: 74 kgs
    GW2: 69 kgs
    Ultimate GW: 55 kgs

    So, that's a 27 kg loss & I have planed to reach my ultimate goal weight in a year (short duration always made me to give up in between, so this time, thought to give longer duration a try) starting from tomorrow.

    Should we also add eachother and make it easier to support?
    I agree.

    My name is Debbie. I'm a married mother of 6 children. Yes, I know that's a lot! :laugh: I started MFP in September 2012. I quickly lost 75 pounds, but got a little side tracked and regained some of the weight. I'm excited to start this challenge. It's giving me the motivation to get back on track.

    My original starting weight was 282.8 and I'm now at 227.2. I have 18.4 pounds to lose to get back to where I was when I 'fell off the wagon". My goal for this challenge is to lose the 18.4 pounds.
