Hello! My name is Dixie. I am 23 years old and the mother of a 4 1/2 month old little boy. Most of my "baby weight" came off on it's own but now I've stopped losing and for some reason, I'm having a really hard time breaking the plateau (any advice is greatly appreciated). I started the 30 Day Shred about 10 days ago and I am keeping my calories at 1500. My goal is to lose 8-10 more lbs by Valentine's Day. I spend pretty much all of my extra time with my baby and husband...they are my heart and soul!
P.S. This is the first Challenge I've ever done and I sure hope it goes well!

I'm Melody. I'm 35 and currently staying at home with my almost 5 year old. I have about 80 more pounds to lose to get to my goal weight, and I know I need this challenge to get me through to spring when I can get outside and exercise again! I'm hoping to run/walk a 5K at the end of February too, so this is perfect for getting ready for that.

I'm in!
Hi everyone! I'm Mande -- been on MFP for about a year now. I'm currently an at-home wife, but I'm hoping to land a job at the district court where my hubby is currently working as a clerk. For fun, I play a LOT of video games with the hubby, and I love to read. I'm hoping to start trying to become a mommy towards the end of this coming year. :blushing: It's something I've been wanting really badly the last couple of years, but health and finances have to be a bit better first!
I'm going to try for an 11 lb loss by Valentines (my wedding anniversary is the 13th, so that too!)

Dawn and Patty: So sorry for the loss of your fathers this year. I lost my dad 6 years ago (colon cancer) and still miss him like crazy every single day.
Dawn: wtg helping out the colon cancer cause! I'm at a high risk for getting colon cancer (long story short) - after my dad was diagnosed, I wanted to get check out too. My dr. told me I was too young to worry but I pushed for it (I was 31). 3 yrs later I got in finally and sure enough they found a polyp and removed it. The specialist later told me that it was very close to turning to cancer - if I had waited another 6-12 months, it would have been cancer. I'm so glad I took a stand and insisted on the colonoscopy! Now I have to go for one every 3 years (next one is at the end of this month! wish me luck!)
Anyway - my name's Jenny and I'm 38 and single. 2011 is the year of the baby. Going to knock myself up via donor insemination! Physically, I gained 10 lbs this fall because I sprained my ankle really really badly and had to stop running and other things. I still am not healed. Even if I do a lot of activity in a day, my ankle will bruise and swell and it's been 3 months! So exercise is a challenge and since I live alone, I often comfort myself with food. Things have got to change! I've lost 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks so hopefully things are looking up and I can keep it going.
Okay... so I'll join in. I have 20-ish lbs to lose altogether but am hoping to be in the 150's by Vday.

Hello everyone! I am in real need of motivation, so thought I'd join this challenge (my first one ever). I am 35, 140 lbs, 5'4", single with no children. I've been on the site for 2 weeks now and lost 1.5 lbs right in the beginning, but have flat-lined since then and it has really hit my motivation. I try to work out several times a week, but I hate working out for the sake of working out, so I try to do outdoor activities (hike, rock climb, garden, yard work, kayak, etc), however this is becoming harder as our temps keep dropping (first snow of the season today).

Hello all!! My name is Amber and I am the mother of a 2 yr old and 10 mon old twins (boy/girl). I am new to MFP and have only been logging for about a week. I am hoping that doing this challange will help keep me motivated. I am sick of not fitting in my clothes and not being able to walk up a flight of steps without getting short of breath. Unfortunately I have not been able to fit exercise into my daily routine yet. I enjoy walking, playing with my kids, cooking, scrapbooking, and gardening (although it is a little too cold right now).
My goal is to lose about 15 lbs by the end of this challange.

Hi!
My name is Nicole and I have an amzing hubby and 2 beautiful kiddos! My son will be 5 in January and my daughter just turned 2 on the 9th!!!

I am ready to get back into logging in each and every day and keeping better track of what I eat! I am currently training for a 15k to benefit Colon Cancer which will be held in NYC!!! I have been training since July and the scale has actually jumped up a couple of pounds instead of down! GRRRR! HERE WE GO!!!

Hello everyone! This challange sounds like just the thing to kick off my weight loss and keep me motivated so count me in. My name is Amy, I am 29 and work as an anaesthetic nurse. I live with my partner Jon and we both enjoy going to the pub, going to gigs and eating out. Although this is great fun I doesn't help my waistline so I am now wanting to get fit and lose weight. I have recently started swimming regularly and have joined my local gym. I would like to lose 14lbs by the end of this challange.

I'd like to join to! The thanksgiving challenge kept me motivated and I haven't been since lol.
To be honest I'll probably try to maintain until after christmas and then start eating well again. It's just too hard right now. Or at least I tell myself it is lol. Plus my best friend said she'd workout with me after christmas since her husbands soon to be back from deployment and she needs to look good.
I'm Meagen. I'm 21, I go to school full time and I work part time and usually all I have time to do is homework. I know I'm trying not to overwhelm anyone with just how exciting my life is lol.
For this challenge I think I'm really going to focus on working out and eating when I'm hungry not when I'm bored. Good luck everyone!
