    Hey everyone!

    My name is Dana and I am in Missouri. I have been wanting to make a change, but have lacked the motivation so I hope this group will help me keep things on track. I have lost weight in the past, only to return to old habits and gain it all back. I just turned 33 and want to get my life on track. I want to be happy, healthy, and fit. 50 lbs by NYE seems like a great goal and will get me almost where I need to be.

    I'm in!! I think that this is a great idea. I've been up and down in my weight so much, I lose it but don't keep it off. I also lose about 35 lbs and get stuck, never making it to my true goal weight. I'm at that point again and I think this challenge will help push me over the hump and to my goal.

    Hi there! Okay, I'm in! I need a goal. After gaining everything I lost back, endless binging and then dieting, giving up and starting again.... I just want to stick with it. I could use some friends that understand that vicious cycle and how hard it can be. I want this thing. I know what it felt line when I was in shape and healthy and I want that back!! It was awesome! The freedom was amazing!! I am ready to commit and I would love to offer support and find some folks that want to share support and honesty! The truth is I have rough days too! Anyhow, I'm here and I'm doing it. I will be weighing in on Wednesday this is do-able!! .

    Hi everyone :)

    My overall goal is to lose about 70 lbs. by the end of April, so this challenge is a great way for me to keep focused on that end goal!

    SW: 220
    CW: 191
    GW: 120-ish (originally thinking 120, but I might be happier a bit above that if/when i gain some awesome muscles!)

    A vast majority of my weight loss so far has been diet based, but I'm just starting to get the workout bug - and i start with a personal trainer 3 times a week in about a week and a half, so that will certainly help me do this. Much strength and inspiration to everyone :)

    I'm definitely in! :smile: This challenge is just in time too. I recently came back to MFP to finish what I started. 50 lbs is almost exactly what I need/want to lose. Can't wait to interact and motivate each other! 2014 here we come!

    Hey all! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone blow past this goal! I saw this quote the other day and thought I'd share it to keep us focused on who we are becoming and not who we were. I hope it posts correctly - LOL!

    Hey guys,
    I'm Shelli, 43 yrs old....two kids, 21 and 19, and one granddaughter, 19 mos.

    Live in Summerville, SC
    Work in Charleston, SC as the purchasing manager for a University

    SW 229 (January 2013)
    CW 203
    1st goal: 175
    GW 130

    I don't get much support from friends and family, so I depend on MFP a lot to keep me motivated. I'm going to cut back on carbs (not TOO drastically), and exercise consistently, which is my greatest obstacle. I would love to start Couch 2 5K soon, but I'm a little intimidated. I'm typically a pretty slow loser, so 50 lbs would be awesome, but realistically I'm shooting for 25-30. Good luck everyone!

    Hi, I'm Sue, 37, mother of 3, 4 if you count my pitbull (which I totally do). I am currently doing supreme 90 day which is a cheaper version of p90x, it's tough, REALLY tough sometimes, but I love it. I was a US Marine a really long time ago and would love to come as close to that body once again as I possibly can. I have a massive sweet tooth which is my downfall.
