Hello Orange Team,
My name is Beverley. I'm 42 yrs old. It is so ironic that I'm on another orange team. I am ready for this challenge, being from the Caribbean, we tend not to eat healthy. The food is great, but full of calories. I know that I need to do this, because diabetes is rampant in my family. My mom passed away at an early age due this disease. I hope to surpass her life span by practicing healthy life style.
For this challenge, I would love to loose 25-30 lbs. This will put me in the healthy weight range. My current weight is 186lbs.
For this week, I plan on working out at least 3 days for 30 mins each time and drink 8 glasses of water.
Good luck to you all. Go Orange:flowerforyou:0 -
Hi Orange team, I am Karen and started this journey in Jan. and started off doing pretty good and have since fallen off the wagon big time I now weigh more than when I started, I am very depressed about this and then I eat, I am not just a stress eater, I eat when happy, sad. bored, even busy I find time. I really need to get back to this for myself and my family. My goal for the season is to lose 30 lbs and goal for the week is to get my water in 8 glasses a day and workout at least 3 days.0

Hi team!
I am excited to watch the Biggest Loser this season, and also take part in this challenge group with you all. My weight has fluctuated over the past few years. While no longer at my heaviest (which was way before I got on MFP), I am bigger than I've weighed in a while - currently in the 300s - and far from my lowest weight on MFP which was in the 270s.
My goal this week is to get back to using MFP to log my calories. Probably the main reason I've gained weight again is that I've stopped doing that consistently. I also plan to work out daily again, actually setting aside some time instead of just doing it when I have time, which usually results in me putting it off until I don't end up working out.
My goal for the end of this challenge is to buy some pants with a waist size in the 30s. Currently, I have to get pants with a waist size in the mid 40s, and while they fit, they are still tight. I don't want to get anything larger, though, as I just bought some pants, and getting them at that size was a depressing reality check.
I'm looking forward to seeing the weight loss for all of us, as we watch the folks on the show drop the pounds, too.
Go orange team!!!

It Is great to meet you! Welcome!! I know what your talking about with the pants sizes last year when I finally got out of the us sizes I was so excited then I got stressed and just ate everything I could get my hands on and now I just hate going shopping bc now I have to shop in the plus sizes again. My favorite stores don't even carry my size now that I'm back in the plus sizes. It is so frustrating! You will get in to the 30's and we are all here to help!0

Hello. my name is kaylee. I'm 30 years old. I've been married for 6 years and have a 20 month old silly son. I've always battled with my weight. a couple years ago I lost 80 pounds on my own but over time with switching jobs and having a baby I gained it all back. I've lost almost 50 but still want to lose 70 more. my goal for the challenge is 30. My goal this week is to stay away from food I know won't help me. to think of food as fuel. not entertainment or "bad ". I'm very excited to start 0
