Hello everyone!

Since we have established that we are all ready for some football and what teams we are ready to see kick some butt this year, I thought an "Introduce yourself" thread was needed.


Where are you from?(be as accurate or vague as you want)
Age?
Fitness goals?
Weight Goals?
Anything else about your weight loss/getting fit journey that you would like to share.
Who are your teams?(College and Pro in case you didn't post in the other thread)

    Hello, I am Melissa!

    Where are you from?(be as accurate or vague as you want) - PA, about 1 hour outside of Philly

    Age? -34

    Fitness goals? -Short term, getting into better shape before my cruise in December.

    Weight Goals? -Hoping to be down under 200 lbs before the cruise in December. After that working towards my goal of 150lbs.
    Once I get there, I will see how I feel and if I need/want to lose more.

    Anything else about your weight loss/getting fit journey that you would like to share. -This is my second time around on the whole calorie tracking/working out to lose weight carousel. I started the journey the first time back in 2012. I got down to around 210, and life decided it had some other plans for me. I just finally climbed back onto the wagon in July. Since July I have dropped about 21lbs. I am now finally back to and under where I was when I started this journey back in September 2012.

    Who are your teams?(College and Pro in case you didn't post in the other thread) Pro: 49ers, College: Iowa

    Yay! Anytime I get to talk about football is a happy time for me!

    My name is Jennifer, I am from Upstate New York ... waaaaaay Upstate. lol. I am 41 years old and I really feel it some days. I would like to lose about 80 pounds, but would be thrilled with 60 pounds. I honestly I am trying to make this an actual life change. I am trying to find balance between wanting to lose weight and trying to find something I can stick to. I have lost and gained weight a billion times .. I am hoping and praying this is my last time.

    I have joined a 30 day challenge with Bruce Pitcher, Extreme Weight Loss guy that I ADORE. So .. for 30 days I am going a little extreme with my calories and exercise.

    I love the Steelers and I also love Syracuse University, SU. Being that I am from here. lol I also love the Yankees, yes that is baseball, but I had to get my Yanks in there somewhere! I enjoy watching the Lions, I like the QB lol. I also watch Oregon because of their fancy uniforms.

    So .. that's me!

    I am going to pretend I didn't see this. LOL I am a Duke men's basketball fan and a Red Sox fan. (For fun my husband is an Orioles fan)

    Hi! I'm Abbey, I'm 19 (almost 20! lol) and I'm from northern Indiana.
    My ultimate fitness goal would be to make this a long-term lifestyle change rather than a quick fix; I am hoping to gain the skills necessary to live a healthy lifestyle while I'm still in college.
    I'm 5'2" and 141 currently; my goal right now is 120 but that might change.
    I did share my pro team (Go Colts!) already, but I am a lifelong Indiana Hoosiers fan as well. Which is great because that's where I go. :) I'm also a White Sox fan (and Blackhawks kind of, I was a bit of a bandwagoner when they won the cup a couple years ago).

    Hey everyone, I'm Ashley!

    Where are you from? - Philadelphia

    Age? - I'm 22 years old

    Fitness goals? - I'd really like to build my endurance.

    Weight Goals? - My goal weight is 130 lbs.

    Who are your teams? - Philadelphia Eagles
  • Hi! My name is Michelle and I am from northern Minnesota. I actually live next door to the farm I grew up on (didn't see that coming when I was 18!). I am 44 years old, married with 4 boys ranging in age from 6-23.

    My fitness goals are to have better cardio endurance (which wouldn't take a lot considering I had ZERO three weeks ago!) and to be STRONG.

    My weight goal is to be under 135 (normal BMI, baby!!); so 134.9 would be completely acceptable! ;)

    My teams are the Minnesota Vikings (which appears to mean I will be doing every extra challenge that comes up for the next 15 weeks!), the Wisconsin Badgers, the Oregon Ducks and the Oklahoma Sooners. We are a big NBA family, too; in that realm it's the Indiana Pacers (I still love Larry Bird with a passion).
