    Here is my story! I'm a 54 yr old Nana and I drive a Semi Truck. I start at 227 Memorial Day 2012, I was down to 156 before the New Years 2013 and this winter went up to 170, yuck. So I am GETTING IT OFF and keeping it off this time. Not bad really, lots of work.

    Hello everyone. My name is Tara and I have being back and forth on this weight loss journey. I'm praying this time I'm able to stick with it. I decided to join this group to help give me a boost as I have way more than 20 lbs. to loose. Plus, I plan on doing my very first 5K in mid-July but as of today I'm in no condition/shape to run to my front door. However, I plan to be in better shape by the time of the race where I will at least be able to jog or do a brisk walk. I just want to accomplish this goal or at least give it a try instead of continuing to talk about it and wishing I had of.

    In need of serious motivation Team 20!!!

    Hi, guys! Nice to meet you! :smile:

    My name is Luisa. I am about to turn 30, and want this year to be the best one yet!

    My current weight is 130. I probably will be happy if I loose 10 more pounds, but 15, or 20 would be absolutely phenomenal, so I thought it'd be a good idea to join this group.

    I have just started my 3rd round of Insanity (did it 2x early last year), and am hoping it's going to give me the discipline to loose the pesky pooch that won't go away.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend on here, and good luck with reaching your goals :flowerforyou:

    Hi! I'm Brioney. I'm 27 and 5'3. I currently weigh 171 lbs (78kgs for us Aussies :P) and would like to weight 149 lbs (or 68kgs) by the end of June. Last year I lost a whopping 50lbs (25kgs) in about 3 months then fell pregnant with baby no.2. My little man is now 3 weeks old and its time for this weight to pack its bags and head back to wherever it came from. Its going to be tough after having a c-section but I'm motivated as hell (also have my high school reunion in Nov haha) :) Xx

    Hey peeps... happy to join and support. 5'9" and started at 289 lbs. Right now (3 1/2 months later), I'm at 262, heading down to 200 lbs. by the end of the year.

    It's an aggressive plan, but necessary for better health.

    Hi I'm Krissy I am 5'3 and starting at 228.2lbs (weighed in this morning. My UGW is 150 lbs which is about where I was four years ago. Losing 20lbs by June will definitely kick start the beginning of my weight loss journey and will hopefully give me the confidence to continue. It will also help get me to my bigger goal of being 180 by the time I start school in September.

    please add me if you feel like it I am going to begin adding those who would also like some support and motivation!

    Hi I'm Kat. I am 5'8.5 and weigh 170. My Ultimate goal is to be between 135-140 (depending on how much muscle mass I have.) Look forward to getting to know everyone!
    After the birth of my son 16 months ago, I have struggled to lose the weight. I have hypothyroidism and have continually forgotten to take the medicine since his birth, which is probably partially to blame as well as late night eating while breastfeeding! :)

    Please feel free to add me if you would like to support and motivate each other! :)

    Hi everyone. I'm 5'2 and my weight is 149. My goal is 120. I am trying to cut back on the amount of refine sugar I consume. Some days I'm good, others not so good. I keep at it.

    What's up, good people?! I weighed in last Wednesday at 148.5. I'm on Day 7 of a 10-day thing, so my next weigh in is not until Sunday morning. My first goal is 138, the next is 132, and then somewhere in the neighborhood of 125-128 I think - but it's REALLY about the fit of the clothes and how I look in a 2 piece!

    I'm 5'4", 37 years old, I've run marathons and half-marathons, but have been pretty sedentary since the fall. Additionally, I fell in love last year, so you know love always packs on the pounds! I'm super motivated, nauseatingly chipper and optimistic and currently addicted to MFP. Can't wait to lose these 20 with you all!

    Hi all!

    I'm 5'7'' and 187. That's down significantly from my highest weight, but I have hit a loooong plateau. Time to break through it! My ultimate goal is around 155ish.

    This was the first time I've ever told anyone my weight and it's both terrifying and liberating :)

    Looking forward to checking in with everyone and feel free to add me!

    Hi all - I'm Teri. Love this challenge! I lost 60 pounds with Weight Watchers in 2005 and have maintained most of it. In the past year, I've crept up about 10 pounds and I'd love to lose that and another five to get back to my wedding weight by my 25th anniversary in June.

    Perfect timing. I'm down 3 pounds since joining this group, We can do this!
