Name: Meg
Age: 48
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
Ultimate goal weight 140 lbs
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 -
Name: Jessica
Age: 36
Height: 5'10"
Current Weight: 187.8
Challenge Goal Weight: under 170
Ultimate Goal Weight: maintain around 160
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!
Plan: Exercise isn't a problem for me, so I'll just keep doing what I'm doing there (Pure Barre 5-6x weekly, running 3-4x weekly). 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. Overall nutrition will be focused on staying within my calorie goals and focusing on more real/whole foods.5 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: 155
My Motivation: I'm getting older and I've been a yo-yo dieter all my life. A few years ago I was very close to my goal weight (reached 170) but a really bad foot injury which took 2 years to fully recover from set me back big time! I was also eating my stress away (bad job). I'm finally at the point where I am determined to change. I want to get back into running and Muy Thai and I'm done with the weight holding me back. So I've started running (slowly), Pilates and yoga; eating clean and developing a healthy eating routine. Glad I have joined the group, this will really help push me to succeed!4 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: 150-145
My Motivation: I don't like myself right now. I gained 10lbs back of 27 that I lost a couple years ago. I got lazy and just stopped paying attention along with a few stressors that sent me to the fridge. I was feeling great and I want to get back to feeling good and liking myself.
My Plan: Clean-ish eating, logging everything everyday, walking and running 3X a week, and what I call my floor routine it's a version of level one of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred 2X a week and then on the weekends we do a variety of activies.
I broke my big toe a few weeks ago and it has me fighting to get back to my workouts. I'm hoping by the time the weather breaks, Northern MI, I'll be fully able to get back to running outside. We've signed up for a Dirty Dog Dash in June and a Warrior Dash in July. I don't want to feel like I'm dying when participating in these. LOL2 -
