Height: 5'6
Current Weight: 147
Challenge Goal Weight: 143
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140 to 145
Motivation: I had used MFP a few years ago and still had those last few pounds hanging on. My MIL was here for three weeks in late January, and at 65 would not move. She could not pick p anything over three or for ponds and couldn't walk a quarter of a mile. She is normal weight but completely sedentary. I told my husband that was not going to be me. so, goal is to become more active and overall healthier, not so much a weight goal.
Plan: Log all my food and drinks with an eye on keeping what I enjoy as part of this - it is a lifestyle change not a diet for me. Working out six days a week, with a combo of strength training, stretching and cardio2 -
Hi I am Ash

Currently weighting 164 lbs
Challenge goal weight 145

Motivation ... good health and wellness. Clean and lean body. I was the 140 lbs mark 16 months ago and kind of looked gaunt as I have a larger frame but wasn't training so maybe this time it might be different. I do take hormone ninja tablets to keep Breast cancer away again so hoping that will not hinder me
Quiet fit and going from bikes to full body training in the last 2 weeks
Plan plan is clean.nearly paleo minimal cards and good fats. Trying to stop the odd chocolate turning into a full pig fest and getting summer ready !!
Good luck all4 -

Motivation: We're leaving for a cruise on Memorial Day and I don't want to have to trade my bikinis for swimsuits with skirts and billowy tops!

Over the last several months I indulged in way too many tacos, pizzas, beers and glasses of wine. I had already decided to give up alcohol for Lent, so there's that.
