My name is Kaylan and I am coming over from you previous challenge. I have done very well on the last one considering I had foot surgery and have not been able to exercise regularly for about 5 weeks. I am hoping that I heal enoughr to start a light work out plan for this challenge and totally kick butt. I am from a small town in Western Washington state, Rochester. Born and raise a Pacific -orthwest gal. Thank you for creating this challenge.

I'm 53 and about 70 lbs over weight. I've been in the last couple of challenges but haven't made any progress. Recently I've been gaining. I'm hoping a new year will give me the incintive to get in gear and stay with it.

Hi I am still hanging onto my last 10 lbs. I have struggled for a couple years now. I recently retired and hope less stress will help.

Hi, I'm coming from your last challenge - 15 lbs by Jan 1st. I did well, I've lost 12 lbs so far. I still need more to go, though (about 25). So joining this one to keep accountable and hopefully lose what I need.

Hello! I'm 29 and hoping to lose about 20-25 lbs within the next few months. I've been inactive on MFP for a while, but I want to get back into logging and taking advantage of challenge groups. I'm going to start one of my workout programs (either T25 or Body Revolution) and then Piyo since I got it for Christmas. I like working out at home, but that means I don't always have the accountability I need to stay on track. I'm hoping a group like this will keep me honest about my food and exercise!

EternalTruth

Hi all, I am a married mother of two, Canadian, and 42 years old. Over the last year I have lost 89 lbs and hope to lose 76 more. I joined this group because I have found that challenges help keep me motivated and accountable.

I currently weigh 216 lbs and by the end of this challenge hope to weigh 195 lbs.

I was doing the C25K running program but have been sick most of the last month. I plan on getting back into it when the chest cold I currently have is done.

Best wishes and success to you all!

Hi everyone! I'm 29 with about 20 pounds ish (Probably more-I haven't stepped on the scale in the past week) I'm getting married next December so I have extra motivation to finally loose this weight!
Good luck everyone

Hi all. I am looking for accountability to lose about 15 pounds (its actually about 6 kgs) by the beginning of March. I have been in maintenance since the beginning of March this year due to some injuries and I found that easier than I thought it would be, but I want to drop a bit more and maintain there. I compete in Brazilian Jui Jitsu and want my maintenance to also be my fighting weight so I don't stress before competitions. I was injured at my last comp, which is why I went to maintenance, but I am ready to push again. The new gym I joined opens on 1 Jan so I am super excited to get back into a great routine and smash out this last little bit of weight.

I am in South Africa, so we are in the middle of our summer peak season which means epic weather (even though I work crazy amounts at this time of year).

Friend requests welcome...

Hello, my name is Jessica. My end goal is to weigh 108lbs. However, I would be happy with a 20 loss by April, so I am in. My job has a gym and I now have a Hello Kitty gym bag so I think I am ready.
Good luck to everyone.

My goal of the last challenge was to be in the 165s by the new year. I have met that goal and I am so excited for what the new year brings!

mwe74

Never been in a group before. I am Mike, 65, active and overweight. Down from 250 to 235 in last 6 months but would be great below 200 lbs. Just got a trainer to set up new routine at gym. The yo yo has got to stop. Need your support.

Skinniedipper

My name's Bobbi, and I need to get back to working on my weight-loss. Going through 2 pregnancies has put me right back where I started 5 years ago. I got a new fitbit for Christmas, so I'm pumped up to start the new year

megannxx

I'm Megan, I've been in the last year's worth of challenges. I ended up gaining a couple lbs in the last one due to crazy amounts of stress and life kicking me while I'm already down. Trying to get back up on my feet.

I'm 26, mom of 2, trying to be healthy for my girls and myself. Since my youngest was born (11/18/15) I've lost just over 70 lbs, and looking to lose about 50-55 more lbs.

I also got a new fitbit for Christmas! So going to be putting that to good use.

Mspmpayne

Hi, I'm Paula from S. Florida. I'm 60 and love weight training for my gym workouts. I lost a ton of weight ( I started MFP @ 285 some time ago, although I had been as high as 350 before MFP) and finally got to 150, but this past year I'm up 35lbs due to too many back to back vacations. I've been in a few of Kay's challenges, just love them, but last 2 I didn't accomplish much. Ready to get back to 150, which was a good weight for me. Good luck everyone!

bobbylou23

Hi - I'm Lou from England... at 169lbs I'm the heaviest I've ever been and this sentence has been repeated at the end of every year for about 10 years! I usually loose regularly up until about May then I start to go back up.

Last July I hit my one year quit anniversary for smoking and decided now that I'd kicked that habit it was time to sort my weight out - my goal is 145lbs by July 2017!

So far I've put 5lb on!!!!

I'm sick of crash dieting - I feel focused on my goal... failure is not an option but I need support from people who don't roll their eyes because I'm on yet another health plan!

24lbs to go!

diggydog2

Hi everyone. I'm Barbara from New Mexico. I lost 10ish in the last challenge (will weigh this Saturday for final loss) so I'm ready to go for 20 now. I have 40 to go to reach my goal weight and 50 to reach my ideal weight. Right now this is the lowest I've weighed in over 5 years so I'm really excited at the changes and pumped to keep it going. Good luck to everyone. Let's do this!

I am from London England and I'm hoping this challenge I will be able to do better because I already lost 41lbs but I still got another 55.8lbs left to lose before I get to my goal weight.

SideshowTam

SO happy that this is continuing on This is the most rewarding challenge that I have found on MFP.

I have lost 18 lb over the last challenge, and though I have slowed down (as we all can attest, over the holidays things get a bit lazy .... well, at least for me they do) and a new job working in a pizza restaurant is meaning I need to practise my self control a bit better now !

Definitely looking to ring in the new year in a positive manner, and continue on with the previous 3 months of commitment to my health.

Herntere

Hi I'm a 32 yr old who needs to lose about 40-50 pounds. I had great success in the past on mfp until I fell off the wagon. But can't wait to get back on the right path.

RamonaMoon

Hi everyone! I've been doing these challenges for the past few months and find them really helpful to keep me ok track, even though I haven't been losing as much as I would like, I have not gained much either so that's a win. New year is as good a time as any to get motivated! My oldest friends wedding is in June and I would love to lose 20 lbs by then so this will give me the kick start I need.

Good luck everyone!

I'm from your previous challenge!

I'm Kazia. I'm 34 from Texas, and my highest weight was 251.2. I'm down to 221.8 as of this week. We'll see where I am to start the next challenge off!

I'm doing keto and moderate workouts. As a fresh beginner, I was working out 6 days a week (DDP Yoga) for 2 straight weeks before I had to take a small break. I didn't pull any muscles, but worked myself to the point of exhaustion and was so sore/exhausted I couldn't really function for a few days. I'm starting up again on Tuesday, actually following the program's suggested beginner plan so I don't burn myself out after 2 weeks again.

I completed the last challenge and lost 15.8 lbs between Nov 1st and end of 2015. If I complete this new challenge successfully, I will have lost at least 50 lbs towards my goal of losing 111 lbs. It will be so good to be that close to ONEderland again. It's only 21.8 lbs away!

travel4fun

I'm Beth. I'm 43 and from central Oregon. First time doing a challenge. Six weeks ago I made a goal of losing 44 lbs by my 44th birthday. I'm down 10 lbs so far. Not bad considering Thanksgiving, Christmas and an unplanned surgery all happened during that time. I'm doing C25K and trying to eat healthy. I have a serious sugar addiction and need to detox after the holidays. Looking forward to being inspired by all of you and making some serious progress towards a healthier life over the next few months!

LMR51

I'm Lisa. 51 years old. Would like to lose 30 lbs altogether. I'm too sedimentary but had some heart issues last year. Im good to go now but so much harder to lose after 50. Looking forward to the challenge. I'm from Ottawa Ontario

Hello everyone!

I'm Mika. I'm an almost 35 year-old ex-athlete that's fallen off the wagon a little and need a little bit of motivation to get back in tip-top shape. Looking to lose about 15-20 pounds just to lean out a bit. I'm always looking to add new friends for motivation, inspiration or just to be a listening ear. See you around the boards!
