My name is Bonnie and I am the captain here at Gutbusters. I'm married to Doug (34 years now). We live in Nashville, TN, and have two grown sons – Jonathan and Katie live in Chattanooga and have two Brittany spaniels, Toby and Sadie; and David lives in Greenville SC. We're also foster-fails to Ollie, our Miniature Schnauzer, who adopted us in December 2018. I joined The Biggest Loser Gutbusters team in January 2019 and love it so much. I find so much encouragement and enthusiasm here.
To our new members and returning members, we are so glad you are joining our team. Life is better together! Please post an introduction so everyone can get to know each other.

I am a mother of 3 and grandmother of 3. I'm a yo yo dieter. I lose and gain back. I'm following a low carb diet at present as I'm finding I can better control my appetite by cutting out sugar. Instead I'm having full.fat milk, butter, cheese, nuts etc. So.far I think it's working for me. I like the weekly weigh in and accountability of this group. It's great.4

I'm a mommy of 3. 2 older girls (13 and 10) and our miracle son (born 2 months early) who's 18 months old. Baby weight this time around is a bit harder and keeps going and coming. But emergency triage surgery will do that to ya lol. Body is a bit of hormonally so I don't stress to much when a lbs is gained again here or there because next week could be totally different for me. This challenge/group is what is keeping me more conscious about my health overall. If you're new welcome 😁5

I'm a Mommy of two - a 3 year old girl and a soon to be 10 month old boy. The weight seems a lot harder to lose this time around. I'm still about 15lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight and I cannot seem to breakthrough to the next decade.
I've been with this team for a few months and everyone is super motivating and easy to talk to.
Can't wait for November!! Maybe I will actually get to the 150s 🤞🤞3 -
I have two sons and run my own business. I recently quit smoking so I am having more trouble with food than I had earlier in the year. I switched from walking to (trying to) run a couple of months ago. That has been helpful, as has being chased by zombies. I am a big fan of the Zombies, Run! app.
My goals are to lose my last 10 pounds (how ever long it takes) and never smoke again. Never. Ever.5 -
Morning Team! Mom of a 17 year old daughter/headache lol. Ready to take on November. Around the holidays are the hardest but I believe I can do it. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 we cannot do it!!!6

Hello team! We are going to kick some booty this coming month! I know it! I am 34 and live in Minneapolis with my husband, Jesse, and our 2 girls. I also have 2 bonus kids who live in ND but we see as often as we can. I have recently been diagnosed with Type2 diabetes but I am determined to not have to take drugs for very long. I’m down 20lbs since I started this journey and I have 30 more to go. Small goals: at 184 I am no longer considered obese. 3lbs!!! Can’t wait to see how amazing everyone is going to do.2

I smoked for 20 years (12-32). I quit when pregnant with my girls but never truly quit. I did chantix and braved the vivid nightmares. I have been smoke free for 1.5 years and I never plan to go back. I believe in you! You have the drive. You can do it!!

Good morning everyone, can't believe we are almost into November, the days/months are flying by.
I live in Southern CA, am 61, on my 2nd marriage (1st one 25 years). I have 2 Sons, 39 & 36 (yikes), and a step daughter, 25. Married for 3 years, (together for 13). I also have 2 kitties, 18 & 7 years old.
I am an accountant, working my full-time job with an hour commute each way... makes for a long day. I also have a couple of side jobs that keep me really busy. I have a hard time fitting in my walks, I need to find a way to make these a priority and include these into my daily routine, I always feel so much better mentally and physically when I do.
I have been with this group for several months, and really enjoy the people here, everyone is so supportive and interesting. I have lost 14 lbs since starting back on MFP in March, (slowly losing, but losing), I am working on getting off the next 15+ lbs. Good Luck to all of you!1 -
@BonnieHosk85 do we have any special challenges set for this coming week? Can I suggest 30 minutes of activity each day for one of these weeks in Nov?4
-
Why, yes, @looneycatblue, you can!! That will be our week 1 challenge!! Thanks for the suggestion!2

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself, you are setting a great example for your girls. I know how hard it can be even with help. I am currently addicted to nicotine gum and slowly weening myself. It is going well but I don't care, I'll chew this stuff for the rest of my life, if I have to. I'm not smoking.2 -
Please welcome two new members to our Fit Family. We're glad to have you both with us. Please take a moment to introduce yourself.

Hi everyone. I’m a graduate student, studying for my MBA. I graduate in December so I want to drop some fat and add muscle before I go into the next chapter of my life soon.
I’ve searched for a workout partner with no luck. As an undergraduate, MyFitnessPal helped me drop 80lbs, so I know the power of counting calories is a science that works. Unfortunately life happens and almost 50 of those lbs came back.
I am happy to join this group. My goal this month is to get back on track with both diet and exercise4 -
