Hi I'm Robin from California! Last time I weighed myself I weighed 129.2 lbs, making my total weight loss 93.8 lbs. However, I've gotten lazy and probably gained at least 5 lbs back. Here's to losing those 5 lbs (at least, hoping for more) and toning up

Hi!!

I am Catherine - 27 year old from Australia. I am currently looking forward to getting out of the obese catergory to merely overweight (2kgs to go, woohoo!).. and then another 15ish kgs after that.

I have a love/hate relationship with exercise... I was never very fit in high school.. I actually came last in cross country one year (I did have a kidney infection and ended up in hospital.. but still, it's kinda scarring!) but as I am getting older I am realising the only person I have to compete against is me.

For this challenge I am gonna try and make a few high impact gym classes a week and lots of walks.

Nice 'meeting' you all

Hi y'all,

I'm Rachel from the Solomons. I need a good kick in the backside almost everyday to get my exercise sorted and to date, have mostly failed than succeeded so I'm hoping that this challenge will get me kicked off to exercise every day to achieve this. I've lost 33lbs so far (only 11lbs with MFP) and I've got another 55lbs to go . . .

Cheers all. Let's do this.

rbccg1979

My name is Rebecca and I am from Florida. So far I have lost 11 pounds and have 69 to go. I thought it would be fun to do a challenge that way I have a goal I'm reaching for this month.

kylamaries

Hi everyone, I'm Kyla! I'm about 120 lbs (my very infrequent weigh-in is tomorrow so I'll update this if I remember) and I'm aiming for a toned body. I mostly run at the moment, but I hope to incorporate Zumba and yoga back into my daily workout. I started running in place while watching my favorite television shows on Netflix (Breaking Bad and Lost, anyone?) so it doesn't feel like a waste of time and I can burn upwards of 400 calories per hour-long episode. :drinker: I can't lie -- I'm pretty excited to make this an excuse to watch more TV shows this month, haha.

SweetMarie79

Hi, my name is Marie and I live in Florida. I have lost 13 pounds in total but it has taken me several months! I can't seem to stick with a fitness plan as life, school, work, kids, etc get more priority than my health! I'll be 35 next year and I'm afraid that if I don't get my weight under control NOW I never will! Right now I'm at 196 which is way too much for my 5'4 frame. I have a feeling that I'm caught in a cycle where I'm exhausted because of the weight which makes it hard to lose the weight! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Help Me!!!!!!! I need all the encouragement I can get! I will help you too! We can do it together! :flowerforyou:

Adrienneb4009

Hi, Adrienne from AL. I'm not sure how much weight I've lost since joining fitness pal. Maybe 5-10 lbs. I'm in no hurry to weigh in. I'm off and on again most of the time. But now since my doctor has prescribed medication, Meformin, I'm serious about changing my diet and getting in shape. I'm ready for the challenge. Good luck to everybody. Let's go to work!

asp415

Hello,

I'm Anna, I'm 42 & live in California on the San Francisco Peninsula, work FT & have 2 kids.

Today is my 100th day of logging b-day & during this time I have lost 22lbs. I have a long way to go before I hit a healthy BMI for my 5'6 height, but I know that w/time & determination I can do it.

I just completed week 5 of the C25K app & generally run/walk 3-4 days a week, the other days I spin, lift, Zumba, Kickboxing, cycling. Whatever fits into my schedule. But generally I do some form of exercise 7 days a week. It has been in the last few weeks that I have been trying to burn a minimum of 3k cals a week & today I was feeling kind of whinny w/the oh my body hurts, I'm tired, maybe I shouldn't run. So finding this challenge was exactly what I needed to stop the whining & just do it. I worked out during my lunch hour & felt much better for having done so after, so thank you for creating this challenge.

I'm looking forward to pushing myself & seeing everyone succeed.

Lets do this!

terriejones

Hi all!

I'm Terrie. I'm 48, 5' 3", and weigh 152, as of this morning. I live in SoCal and I'm basically a walker and swimmer. I do a little strength training but I don't log that. I try to do the daily mini challenges (exercise) in the forums each day. I love food so I've been weighing and measuring almost all of my food. I eat too much junky food but have been able to stay within my calorie goal most days and have lost 42 lbs. so far. I don't really have a weight goal so I'll just keep going until I like where I'm at. I'm a Type 1 diabetic and find myself having to treat more and more low blood sugars as the weight comes off, this makes it difficult some days to keep the calories low.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and encourage all of us along. I know we can do this!!! I'll be praying for us all.

misstiffanyrenee

Hi! My name is Renee, and I am from Dallas, Texas. I have about 70 pounds until I reach my goal, but I am trying to lose as much as possible before I go on vacation in October, so it is time to get serious!!

inspirem

Hi all! I'm Melissa, I'm 44 (on August 5th) Mother of 5, wife to 1, and my ultimate goal is to lose 80-100 lbs, but at this point in my journey I would love to just get back to "onederland" and stay there...I hit 199 last summer, but went through a rough patch in my marriage and steadily gained 30lbs back starting in October 2012. Currently, I continue to fluctuate between 234 -224 lbs and my motivation to exercise this year comes and goes. I do well for a few weeks,then get side tracked and it takes me a week or two to get back on track! When I joined MFP back in Nov of 2011 my goal was to be at my goal weight of 145-150lbs by my 44th birthday, but I didn't reach it, because I am no where near that right now! Just sick and tired fighting this yo-yo battle and want to just get my "stuff" together and finally get out of the obese categories!

suej234

Hi, I'm Sue and I'm from Northern AZ. As of last October I've lost 30 lbs and have been holding steady since. I have about 30 lbs to go but just can't seem to make it happen. I'm pretty active - work with a personal trainer 2-3 times a week - it's the eating that seems to be killing my progress. I'm a mom, wife, employee, student, business owner. When things get busy I get prioritized to the bottom of the list. I'm planning on breaking that cycle in August with this challenge! We are hiking Havasupai Falls the end of September (25+ miles in 3 days) and I really want to be down 10 lbs, at least. Every pound gone is a pound I don't have to drag out of that canyon! :-)

lauradriscoll543

HI, my name is Laura, I am 42 years old, wife, mother of 2, work full-time and I am from Toronto, Canada. My goal is 70 pounds to loose but also more healthier eating and activities with the kids, this challenge will be difficult as I have planter's faceitis on both my feet right now but going to try bike riding and zumba and lots of stretching! Good luck everyone!

Ebonyjade20

Hola muy name is Jojo Im 129 pounds and I'm a single mother to a rambunctious three year old! I work in a nail salon in Florida and have one more year before I get my Bachelors! ! My goal is not weight but inches I literally don't care about any other part of my body but my stomach. I am tired of wearing a tank top and looking 3 months pregnant. My dream is to be able to wear a tshirt without sucking anything in. Right now I'm doing jillian Michaels 30 day shred and I am on level one day 9!
My biggest problem is eating. I'm pretty active I have been doing well but the last three days I cheated with 3 slices of pizza on each day. ? So I haven't lost any weight. This week I plan on eating clean with only one cheat day!
Good luck everyone! Please give me tough love! !

Lmns218

Hello!!!! My name is LaKesha, 34 years old, Cleveland OH. I am a single mother to a VERY energetic and busy 3 year old and I work full time. Tried to take on a 2nd job, but don't think that is working out too well due to my current circumstances. Today is my 60th day in a row (well it's after midnight so day 61) logging in. I just completed the 60day hip hop abs program and am just looking for a new challenge. I imagine, I am going to have to do some two a days-maybe incorporating a walk or something on my lunch hour and doing strictly cardio at night. But we will work it out!!!! Definitely not going to quit that's for sure!!!!

iamaviking007

Hi! Everyone! ....... I'm Sue and I just restarted using myfitnesspal today! I'm 50 years old and live in the Cleveland area...... I love to ride my bike if the weather allows me to. I rode for 40 mins today and burned something like 338 calories for 6.38 miles. I would like to burn 3500 a week on my bike but I'm not sure I'm up to that yet so I could use some ideas on other ways to burn lots of calories ..... I'm trying to lose about 80 pounds.
