Yes, thanks @craigo3154 for doing this! It's the most organized group I've seen and I'm really excited to have some motivation from everyone else in a similar boat as me.0

I didn't seem to get rolled over into the April spreadsheet. I'm sure it was just an oversight, but I definitely still want in. Thanks!0

Hi everyone, just wanted to take a few seconds to say a quick little hello. I'm the new captain to the AMAZING Flab U Less team. it's my first time ever holding such role in this group, I hope to be as good as our past leaders
Feel free to msg me anytime. I little about me ... I'm 40 yr old, from London Ontario, Canada. Mom to 5 amazing kiddos (almost 20, 18, 4 1/2, 21 months and 8 months) I have been struggling with my weight my entire adult life.
I joined this group in February and my struggles are still quite real. I just recently started eating according to the Keto diet + IF, hoping this is the right solution for me. I would be happy to get a little hello/intro from new and old members, and please feel completely safe to share whatever you need/struggle with along with your good days and victories (non-scale victories too )
Whishing you all a very good healthy April xox5 -
Welcome everyone!! and thanks @Djou11 for being our new leader!
I joined this group in Jan and I am now -32 pounds down. I love these challenges and everyone is so helpful!
I live in one of the most beautiful places in Wyoming, and I spend as much time outside on my horses as possible. I am in my 40's and i just want this weight to be gone and to be healthy! I know my horses are loving me being lighter too! 2 -
Hi all look forward to joining in this journey with you all. Quick hi to our leader @Djou11 looking forward to getting to know you and others more.
I am Savannah, I am 26 and I have 2 children one almost 5 yearold boy and his baby sister who is 4 months old. We live in Wales in the UK and enjoy spending time outside (weather permitting lol)
I want to lose weight to be more healthy would like to give running a go and to fit back in a pair of pre baby size 12 jeans.
Good luck to all of team Flab-U-Less feel free to add me 3 -

Thank you @Djou11 for being our leader. I can only imagine what it takes to keep up with all this. Thank you also @craigo3154. As it is a tremendous amount of work but looking through the comments it looks like you have it down. I am very excited about this challenge . I am hoping this is it. I need to get back on track and lose at-least 20lbs. I am 53 from Tennessee and my weight fluctuates from 160-180. I have to get it under control. I tend to go all in and then fade. I need to stay on task. Go team Fab-U Less!!1

@SavannahS2016 Happy for you to join us, totally understand the pre baby jeans, I have a bin full that I still hope to one day fit back in you've got this momma.
@tslose I tend to go all in for a few weeks too and then fall off track, we're all here with you to keep you focused.
feel free to reach out2 -

I'm turning 50 in a year and a half, and I got an idea that I'd like to to be able to wear a bikini by the time I'm 50. I weigh 164 lbs. now and want to be in the 140s by then. Not a string bikini for me, but a tasteful two piece classy bathing suit.
I recently saw a picture of me from eight years ago, when I weighed in the 180s (for me that was my heaviest weight ever), and I felt sad for myself. I looked sad. Weight is relative as you know. So, for me that weight was just unhealthy, because it represented a bad time emotionally in my life.
Not only because I looked unhappy and unhealthy, I just felt that I was working so hard at being the perfect mom and teacher, that I lost who I was. I lost my identity pleasing others. As I stared at that picture, but I knew that I was in a bad state of mind numbing myself with alcohol and snacks. I remember watching The Bachelor each week chowing down on a big bag of Doritoes.
I am so happy I found MFP a few years, and since November, I found these challenges to be so helpful and motivating. I want to end this decade on a positive healthy, happy note. I am looking forward to my 50s. I'm getting over this people pleasing disease and living for others' approval. Many of you have evolved beyond that , but I'm a little bit slow in my evolution.
Anyway, that's who I have been and where I want to be in the next year. Thanks for letting me share. I had no plan on revealing all this on this post, but the words just poured out.
Happy Easter! And I'm looking forward to April- spring, rebirth, and renewal. Xo3 -
Happy to see you again @JulieAL1969 . Thanks for sharing your journey. April will be the the perfect month for us all to being active, stick to our plans, or have a new start.
Happy Easter!2 -
@JulieAL1969 thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I know that you're will rock that bikini1

Hi everyone,
Hope everybody is well. I just wanted to take the time to wish you Happy Easter (for those who don't celebrate it, Happy long weekend lol)
Hope we all get to spend some good times with our family and loved ones. I also know how tempted we'll all be by all that chocolate and decadent food, but before overindulging remember that you're on this journey because you love your body more than anything else, therefore you will do everything in your power to keep it healthy longer. We're all at different stages of our journeys but we all share the same struggles, so pls msg us in moments of temptation, we're here to support each other.
Happy Easter and my You all have a blessed weekend xoxo1 -
Hi everyone.
I tried to do the biggest loser in January and was put into this group but I wasn't in the right mind and kind of failed.
I turn 40 in October and seriously want to be as close to 10st as I can be.
I've spent the last 2 years trying to get back to this weight but I lose a stone to stone and a half to gain back 12lbs the first year and 10 this winter just gone.
So starting over and really want to get closer this time. I'm a stone lighter than I was when I started last year so hopefully I'll get there this time.1 -
Hi!!! Do we weigh in today? Or is that next Sunday?0

Hi Everyone! Still trying to figure out how this community and challenge works but glad I found you! I need the motivation and accountability! Didn’t even realize it existed until last night! I’m 48, work in Safety, Quality and Regulatory, have two kids, 19 and 17 and live in Milton, Ontario (pretty darn close to London, Ontario and @Djou113

Half my post was lost so I’ll try again!0

Starting on Easter Sunday and while kids are on holiday isn't the best start. Seriously over food wise. Then I did that thing of using that as an excuse to finish the kids food off.
I know better. Starting properly tomorrow and now need to make up for today.1
