Welcome to Team Gutbusters!
My name is Bonnie and I am the captain here at Gutbusters. I'm married to Doug, live in Nashville TN. We have two grown sons. We're also foster-fails to Ollie, our Miniature Schnauzer, who adopted us in December 2018. ~~ Bonnie
Hello Team! I’m Michelle and I’m currently training to be co-captain for Gutbusters. Bonnie is showing me the ropes and keeping me in line 😉.
I’m new to MFP and new to the biggest loser challenge (August was my first month and I lost about 10 pounds!). I have over 100 pounds to lose and I think I will stay in this challenge for a good long while. I have found the support, encouragement, and accountability very helpful.
I live in lovely White Bear Lake, MN in a tiny home with my 19-year-old cat Boo-Boo. The most important things in my life are my faith and my friends. By God’s grace, I’m a recovered alcoholic (3.5 years) and recovered smoker (3 months!). Food addiction is one of the last hold-outs of that old, self-destructive road I walked for so long. I’m ready for victory over it! ~~ Michelle
To our new members and returning members, we are both so glad you are joining our team. Life is better together!***

I’m looking forward to September. I did ok last month but I know I’m capable of doing so much better. Senior year starts for my daughter next week so I’m looking forward to a more structured routine/schedule.
I’m so Thankful for this team because even though I don’t check in as often as I should I think about the team and my goals daily.
Thank you Bonnie for all that you do, Hi Michelle, looking forward to losing with you 😁5 -
I'm looking forward to the 1st of Sept. This will be my first accountability and challenge month! Let's do this!5

Hey everyone!! My name is Allison and I've been on the team for a few months. I didn't do great last month so I'm focused on buckling down and getting some weight off. I'm a Mommy of two kiddos.. Ella will be 3 in September 15 and Elias will be 8 months. I'm still working on shedding my Elias pregnancy weight. I have 17lbs to go.

Hi
My name is Carol, I’m 48 years young. I’m married no kids. Live in Ontario Canada. Joined MFP a little over a month ago. I’ve lost a total of 10 lb on MFP and 20 lb since I started changing my lifestyle. I quit smoking three weeks ago and it been a struggle staying away from food.
This will be my second month on the team and Happy to be part of such a motivational group 😊7 -

I'm Sara, met my husband when we were juniors in high school, been together now for 20 years, married 12 years and have a beautiful spunky very opinionated 11 yr old daughter who keeps us on our toes and starts middle school next Tuesday! Where does time go?!?! We enjoy taking our motorhome out and camping which makes it hard to log in and track food since we generally don't have service where we like to go but it's great to unplug for everything as well and I feel we go good with packing our food and planning the menu plus we do a lot of hiking in the areas we go. As of August 1 my husband and I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol, it's been different but for the better and we've seen a difference, I've been in the group for a few months and have lost steady small amounts which I've been okay with.7

Hey I'm Suzanne! I'm married with 3 kids and we are homeschooing this fall. I've been in these groups for a few months now and my progress has been sloooooow, but I'm making progress and that makes me happy.
We've got this!5 -
Hi! I'm Karen. September will be my second month as a Gutbuster in the Challenge. I am hoping to lose the last 16 lbs of baby-weight, soon. My "baby" just turned 12 in August. What can I say, I wasn't very motivated until now.
I am also a newly converted runner. I used to walk a lot but then I found the Zombies, Run! app. It is so easy to be motivated when your being chased by zombies. All of my other hobbies are sedentary -reading, sewing, crocheting, nerd-geek-scifi-superhero-historical costuming. And D&D.
My geek flag flies proud. 6 -
Hey everyone! I'm Pam, I've been MFP'ing off and on for six or seven years. August was my first month in this group -- the humor & support from Gutbusters made an arduous task much less of a grind. Find both the victories and setbacks motivating and inspiring -- it's so encouraging reading about successes or how the wagon will be righted after falling off. Not much of a "sharer" but really appreciate the stories, lessons and suggestions of those that do. I can say this with not one hint of sarcasm....motivated and looking forward to September's weight loss and NSVs!
Go team!6 -

Hello, Team!
My name is Betsy and I’ve been with gutbusters for just one month and I love the support and accountability of this group. We just dropped off my youngest at college a few days ago, and with that, we are officially Empty Nesters!! 🥂🍾🎈🎊🙌🏻👊🏻👏🏻🙏. I’m currently vacationing on Cape Cod with my husband of 27 years, eating fish and lobster and playing a lot of ⛳️ 🏌🏻♀️. The scale reflected that last Tuesday, but I’m not discouraged. We’ll be home after Labor Day and I’ll be back on track, and devoting more time to MY health and well being. Looking forward to a great September!3 -
Hello everyone this will be my 4th month (I think!) I live in Nova Scotia. I'm married, and I have two beautiful girls, aged 4 and 10 months. I never lost the baby weight after my first baby, and my body is desperately trying to hang onto every last ounce of weight because I'm still breastfeeding my baby. I'm doing my best though, and I've lost 27 pounds in the last 5 months. So that's something! 5

Love this group! Everyone is so inspiring to me! I live in Chicago; I am a teacher and mom and wife and friend! I am looking to continue to solidify habits (eating, sleeping, exercising, reading) that help me feel my best so I can BE my best. Thank you for reading and being so open; it helps me realize that I can't let PERFECTION get in the way of PROGRESS.4

Hi group! I'm Holly, 53-years old, married and living in Florida. We have 4 kids grown and gone, but the 17 of us (with their families) get together as often as possible! I have 100+ lbs to lose, and although I've been a member of mfp for several years, it's been about that long since I've used the site and been serious about taking control of my health and wellness.
I'm super - pumped, as this is my first challenge type event entered!4 -
Hi my name in Sarah. Im from the tropics in Australia. I have two toddlers and they are finally sleeping through at night! My goal for this month is to do more exercise. Hoping to do more swimming as the weather warms up, and if it stays cool, more aerobics.2

@BonnieHosk85 thanks so much.... We are on the gulf coast, so will mostly be flooding issues for us, but are still trying to recover from flooding a few weeks ago (I have two gators now living in the brush in front of my house 😳) Praying for all our friends on the Atlantic coast...3

Yikes! Stay safe, Holly! Our home here in Nashville flooded in 2010. No fun, for sure!!

Hello team - I'm from Maryland and this is my first accountability challenge. I woke one morning and said I'm tired of seeing my weight not go anywhere - I need accountability. I would love to help motivate people in the group and get motivation from the group too!3

Yessss! 🙌 This is my first challenge, too! That's exactly what happened with me. A button clicked, a light bulb went off, and all of a sudden, I was OVER IT.
Thanks for sharing!2 -
