    Hey everybody, I am Laura from Oregon. Jennifer from Idaho is my sister. I have 2 children and one grandchild. Looking forward to being healthier in the new year. I want to lose some weight and banish sugar from my diet (or at least keep it under control :) ). I am into the decade where my mother was diagnosed with asthma and diabetes. I want to do what I can to try to prevent these diseases. Plus, I want to look good. So a little bit of exercise, a little bit of food tracking and dieting, and a lot of education about the best way to use them to get to my best health ever. Good luck all!

    Hi All! I'm Rachel from Seattle! I'm excited to have something to keep me accountable for my health. I love that this challenge isn't just about weight loss, it is about being healthy in all aspects of my life. I have two kids, 3 year old girl, 1 year old little boy. No more excuses! I've never joined a support group, so hopefully it's helpful.

    Hey there Sister! Keep up the good work! Your WHY is almost that same as mine..... Dad fighting heart troubles and then the Diabetes that took his life, and my Mom and her weight, smoking, diet, and Diabetes that almost took her life, and now both of our Brothers fighting diabetes.... WE CAN BE THE CYCLE BREAKERS of the weight and health battle in our family! I want to be around to see my Grandchildren and play with my Great nephews and nieces, and be around for the rest of my family and friends too. Great Grandchildren will be fun too! Keep Rocking it! :smile:

    I am Doni from Utah. I have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. I want to get to a healthier weight for my body and mind. I love having something to keep me motivated. This is a great challenge because it focuses on the whole person. I want to be a whole person and not just a weight.

    Hi there, my name is Chad. Currently we are living in Provo, but that will likely change this summer. I am doing this with my wife. She found it online somewhere and really wanted to do it, but wanted someone else to do it with her. This huge for her to want to do something like this so I said of course I would do it with her! We have 3 kids, boys 5 and 3 and a little princess 2. Yes I know a close age range. It is nothing short of chaos at our house all the time. I am a full time Graduate student at BYU and will finish the Nurse Practitioner program there this summer. I work part time while I am in school in the ICU at Utah Valley. One of the biggest reasons I am doing this is to get in shape and loos weight. How can I tell a patient they need to work on losing weight if I am severely overweight myself. I love that this focuses on the whole person form spiritual all the way to physical. I am looking forward to these challenges and finding a way in all of the chaos of school, work, family, and everything else to become a better me.
