    I was a member of team gutbusters in the past (nov/dec) can I be placed back on the team for March or do I need to go back through the March registration page?

    Hi there! I am new to this challenge and am really excited for the support of a team to help with my challenges through weight-loss. I have been on a plateau for about the last year or so, stuck in the same 218-230 range. I am currently down to 224 and have been exercising and eating better. So I cannot wait to do this for many months to come until I am down to my goal of 140ish! :)

    Good evening, just assigned to this team! First month doing this, looking to respawn and focus more on my eating/calories. Starting at 165.4 lbs, hoping to lose an average pound per week.

    Welcome to the team, @lifeisspiffy! Glad to have you with us!

    @matthewsfive, glad we'll have another month together!!

    Oh, and I'm Bonnie and co-captain of The Gutbusters. I live in Nashville TN. I have been married for 33 years and have two grown sons (one married and one single). We have a foster Schnauzer Ollie, who likes to take me on walks when my knee permits. This is such a great challenge and has been so helpful to keep me accountable for logging all my food and exercise each day.

    Happy to be continuing with Gutbusters. Checking in each week through Feb has kept me accountable.
    Started Feb at 199 and am currently sitting at 192.6 as of this morning so looking forward to getting in the 180's during March.
    Goal is 150 but allowing myself the rest of the year to hit that. It will get harder as i near my goal so trying to be realistic and i'm allowing for setbacks (or 'bumps in the road' as i like to call them).
    I would absolutely LOVE to be at 180 by the time i go on holiday in May and as long as i don't go nuts on the All Inclusive, i'd like to reach 174 by the time i go to a 5 day Rock festival in June.
    There... that's my mission statement :-D

    This is my first time joining a challenge on here. I've had MFP for awhile but have always been inconsistent with logging my food, I'll do good for a while then seem to jump ship then back on. The last several weeks I feel I've done with logging in daily and hopefully this challenge will keep me accountable as well.

    I've have MFP for quite a few years now and this is my first time joining a challenge like this or even participating in the community feature so I'm excited. Was doing really good with weight after my surprise baby, which made baby #3 with two older kids 10 and 12 years of age. At 33 however I haven't quite bounced back from the birth control weight. I was also on bed rest my whole pregnancy before he was born 2 months early, so depression played a part in weight gain as well. Took awhile to get to my current weight of 177 because my issue is I don't seem to eat enough calories. I've had luck meeting calorie and macro goals however starting the Mediterranean diet. I tried intermittent fasting for awhile but I found, for me personally, it put my body in starvation mode and I'd start unhealthy habits. I also TRY and lift at least twice a week. It don't always work out that way with an 11 month old who is teething and pre teens who you have to referee with 24/7 haha. The beach is my motivation. I want to enjoy my time with my man and kids this summer without any anxiety and insecurities! Good luck team and thanks for having me 😊

    Hi, back again for month 3. Slow but progress all the same - I'm losing, not gaining!

    I'm a 51 YO female; 5'2"; Mum of 2 grown boys; wife of 1;) Live in San Diego, formerly of Zimbabwe and Zambia.

    First weigh in was 12/31:- 174
    Last weigh in 2/25:- 163.6

    Goal this month will hopefully see me drop below 160. But for now, I've dropped out of 'obese' on the BMI and now I'm classified as 'just fat'!! Wow, never thought in my life that I would be obese, but I hope never to be back there again.

    Have a great month everyone....good luck!

    Hi my name is Sarah. I was really happy with my progress last month. This month I want to get down to 60kg. My goal is 59 kg, or whatever it takes to lose my tummy. I'm sick with a cold today but the weathers nice so hoping to go for a walk tonight.

    Dominique here, 31/F. I’ve done this challenge in the past but let things slip at the beginning of the year.

    My current lifestyle choice is low carb eating and I’ve been happy with my results and how I feel. I plan on sticking with that throughout March to see if it’s something I can do long term.

    My starting weight when I signed up for March was 157.6. I have lost a bit since then. My goal weight is 140. I hope to get under 150 this month.
