    Hi ladies,

    My name is Karen. I am 34 years old and newly married. I have gained all of the weight that I originally lost back since being married as I extended the free-for-all honeymoon eating for 4 months . . .

    My current weight is 214. My long term goal weight is 158.

    I plan on using my Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam DVDs.

    Hey,

    I'm Leanne. I am 27 years old. My current weight is 162. I don't really have a goal weight. I just want to be toned and fit.
    I am currently doing Insanity.
  • Hey ladies! Thanks for commenting.

    My name is Jessika. Im 23. Im currently at 280 pounds...50 of which I gained in the last year (PCOS/Birth Control/Hormone Issues). Losing weight with PCOS is harder (according to every doctor i've seen in the last year) so I HAVE to work out everyday for at LEAST 30 minutes.

    I do that by walking a mile during my lunch hour (18-20 minutes) and working out 30 minutes (10 minute solutions bootcamp and pilates). My biggest struggle is finding the time. Im about to be a grad student next fall so while I have the time now (technically), I won't have ANY time next fall. I also commute 90 minutes to and from work.

    My goal weight is 175...which I haven't been since middle school- when I was a size 7/9 in juniors. I hope to get most of this weight (at least 50 pounds of it) off before I start grad school in August.

    My name is Beverley. I just turn 42. I'm from the caribbean where the food is good, but the calories involved is more than I would like to reveal. With diabetes being rampant in my family, I need to do something.

    I have tried different groups on here and fell off the wagon, but I'm ready to get back on track. I'm curerntly in another group that challenges you to loose weight for Christmans, so let's see how that goes.

    I plan on working out at leat 3 times per week and cut down on my food intake. I also have a sweet tooth.

    My goal is to get to my healthy weight range, because as it is now, I'm overweight.

    It's good to have an outlet with folks who can relate and not judge.

    Good luck to you all on your journey:flowerforyou:

I gained so much weight throughout my pregnancies and I want to take back the control. I hadn't found the time but I just worked it out as to when I can do real exercise. I want to start out with a realistic goal and shoot for 25-35 lbs by Christmas. Let's wish me luck as I wish all of you. Good luck ladies and remember to stay focused and happy throughout the whole experience.

    Hello,

    My name is Corissia and I am 29 years old. My goal is to be in a size 10-12 by the time I am 30 which is next June. I do not have any children and I am not married. I am using Turbo Fire and I am on week 6 but I missed like 1 and 1/2 and just picked up where I left off which was at the beginning of week 3 on the schedule so I have been consistent for 3 weeks and I am moving forward. I wegh 260 lbs and I have a long way to go and everyday I do the workout for that day, when I start the workout I dread it when I finish I am happy. My clothes are getting looser and I am excited about that.

    Hello Ladies,

    My name is Elizabeth and I am 41 years old. I am a wife and mother of three. I am a stay at home Mom. So I have the time for work outs but I don't have the energy on most days. I have realized that when I do work out or at least go for a walk I usually feel much better. I need some motivation!! My current weight is 225lbs and my goal weight is 170lbs. I need to get healthy. Good luck to everyone. Lets get healthy and fit together.

  • Hi everyone,

    My name is Char. I'm 20 years old and a college student. I tried MFP once before in 2011 but I don't think I was ready yet to lose weight. After gaining 50 pounds in the last couple of years, and also watching my dad lose his sight from diabetes, I'm ready to get healthy and be the person i've always wanted to be. Life is too short to live it in a way that you don't want to.

    Hello ladies,

    My name is Trish. I recently made the decision to get it together. I am 44 years old. My current weight is 245 and my goal weight is 185. I am doing a lower carb/ high protein eating plan. I walk 3 miles, 5 days a week, and do water aerobics once a week. My goal is to complete a triathalon next year. I may come in last, but finishing is the goal. I am excited to be able to move and not be in pain. I believe that praying for divine health while eating cupcakes is not pleasing to God :-), so I thought I better take care of this beautiful temple that I have been given. I look forward to the support of you all and also pray that I can be an encouragement to you as well.

    Peace and Blessings.

  • Hi Ladies, my name is Bonita and I am 44 years old. I am a wife and mother of three. I work full time and I am very busy with family and work life. I have been putting myself last and taking care of everyone and everything else first. Needless to say, this has caused me to neglect myself, mainly my health and weight. I am a diabetic and reallyyyyyyyy!!!! need to get the weight off so that I can stop giving myself insulin shots. I am so tired of it. I am currently 257 and my goal is at least 180. I have a long way to go so I desire your prayers and encouragement. I am currently using my gym at work and doing zumba classes two days a week. I try to work out five days a week. I look forward to completing my journey with all of you.
  • Hi, I am sorry to hear about your dad. I am diabetic as well and trying to avoid the same thing. I had an aunt and uncle die from complications of diabetes because they did not take care of themselves. The best thing you can do for your dad is not let it happen to you. Good luck and God bless. You can do it!
  • Sorry, this post was meant for healthyCYB
  • Hi Bonita,

    Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement. I look forward to seeing you do well on your journey and I'll be praying for you. Thanks again

    Hi ladies, I'm a 26 y/o newlywed looking to get healthier and toned. I just got married, moved, and started a new job. With all that going on working out and eating right went out the window. I am now doing much better with logging on mfp and making healthier choices. I plan on reaching my goals with walking, zumba, and fitnessflender videos.

    Robyn here. I have been a member of MFP since about 2010. But I've only been active for the past almost 2 months. It's just time for me to get it together, so I started taking strength training classes at the gym, got a fitbit, and hired a trainer. I want to attack this problem 20lbs at a time.

    Age: 42

    Current GW: 206

    Ultimate GW: 145

    I look forward to going through this journey with you Ladies.

    Hey everyone!

    I'm a 36 year old woman who has struggled with my weight since my grade school days. In high school I lost a lot of weight, however during college the pounds started adding up. Before I knew it I was 255 lbs (highest known weight). I'm 5'11.

    Last year I got to the point where I had enough so I got off my butt and started working out. Then I got my eating habits under control and started reading health/fitness forums. I was also and still am fascinated about learning the science behind weight loss. At the same time I always felt out of place on messages boards because I wanted to have some muscles and keep some curves...never wanted to be thin and skinny.

    I didn't have a goal weight, but I did have a dress size/measurements I was aiming for. Once I figured out what was working for my body I focused more on changing my body composition/fat loss and getting fit and the weight loss came with it.

    Since January 2012 I have lost 80 lbs. without a gym membership or using a diet plan and I am working hard to maintain a 5lb range.

    Outside of my partner (he is slightly overweight) I don't have much support offline since everyone I'm around is average in weight, so I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!

    Hello,
    My name is Tahese. I'm 34 years old and I have always struggled with my weight. I joined MFP on September 2, 2013. So it's been a month now and so far I'm seeing results. I am 5'7" and my starting weight was 257. I currently weigh 247, so I lost 10lbs to date. My short term goal is to reach 200 and my ultimate goal is to be about 150-155.

    Hi everyone! My name is Tara and I'm 38, married and the mother of five beautiful teenage and adult children. I would like to be in the best shape ever by my 40th birthday but hoping to reach that sooner! I have tried several diets and workouts and will lose some weight but always fall off. This time I plan to give it 100% and hang in there until I reach my goal weight of 160 lbs.

    When I joined MFP last year I weighed 215 lbs. When I officially returned back to MFP last Wednesday, Sept. 24th my weight was 236.8. Right now my current weight is 225! :happy: I've been working very hard to stay w/in or under my daily calories and drinking lots and lots of water...Yes! I'm constantly running to the restroom. :noway:

    I plan to use Shaun T's new Focus T25 workout and his Hip Hop Abs workout. I have several BB (P90X, Insanity, Brazillan Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs & Focus T25) workouts but they are only being used to collect dust in my closet...RIGHT NOW. Plan to dust them off starting Sunday. Last year I did Julian Michaels 30 Day Shred and was doing great for the first 10 days but quit and was seeing great results. I plan to hang in there this time around b/c everytime I quit I gain more weight on top of the weight I'm already trying to lose.

    Wish me luck & ladies hang in there w/me!

    Getting MY SEXY back!:love:

    Hi everybody

    I am KJ

    I don't even know my current weight. Last week it was 321, yep. That saddens me to input that number, but it is what it is. I am 52 years old and this has been my struggle for YEARS. I keep trying and failing to grab ahold of this. I am trying again. So as always I am hoping to find a sisterhood with like minds to support and be supported by to get healthy.
