    Goal Weight/Date: 137 by September

    I had eaten quite a bit beef jerky so I'm assuming there was a lot of water retention because of the sodium. None the less I'm very happy! This is the lowest I've been since before I became pregnant with my second son (July 2012)! Only 10 more pounds until I reach my pre-pregnancy weight :)

    I'm in! I have quite a bit more than 20 lbs to lose but I'd like this to help jump start! I got married last summer and lost 25-30 before our wedding. At my heaviest I was 196 pounds. Currently I'm at 185 and on my wedding day I was around 169-170. I am not happy at my weight gain following our wedding but I am desperate to get this weight off (again :( ) and continue my weight loss. I am 5'2 and I am quite unhealthy at my weight. I need a lot of support. Please and thank you!

    Current weight 5/10: 185
    Challenge goal weight 9/10: 165
    Ultimate goal weight: 135

    I'm SO in! New semester starts in September and it'd be amazing to wow some people (and wear cute clothes) in the new term

    Name: Rebecca
    Age: 24
    Height: 5'3"
    Current Weight: ~136 lbs May 11, 2014
    Goal Weight: 116 lbs September 11, 2014
    Ultimate Goal Weight: Between 110 lbs and 119 lbs would be amazing. I've never been that low so I won't really know until I get there.

    If anyone wants to add me, that'd be cool! Can never have too many friends. (:

    It'd be extra cool to find a "partner" who'll yell at me if I haven't updated within the week (I can "yell" at you, too). I've joined so many of these since starting MFP but always fall off the wagon. I feel like if there's some accountability and maybe more of a personal competition between partners it might be more effective (for me, and maybe for you, too!)

    I'm in!

    Name is Darlene, mom of 3 and just (like 2 days ago) turned 40!

    I'm doing one of those mud runs in September and a color run in October. And I hate running...I figure if I can lose a few pounds that will help me run better and be stronger!

    I need some accountability because I always sabotage myself.

    Well, if you look at my numbers, it only looks like I lost a half pound. :( BUT, I feel great and I really think I'm going to see bigger results this week. I don't have a lot of after work activities planned, so that means more gym time. Today I'm doing cardio, abs, and back.

    I usually run outside, but today am going to use the equipment at the gym. My goal is 45 minutes. To keep myself from getting bored, I'm going to switch it up and do 2 or 3 things: treadmill, elliptical, bike. Just not sure exactly what.

    Stay Focused! And when you're tempted to be lazy or eat something bad for you, remember your personal goal and your personal reason. Stay Strong!
