Hello, my name is Amanda. I've lost 110 lbs and have approximately 25 lbs until I reach goal. I started taking my health seriously about for years ago. This year and most of last year I maintained my weight, but I really want to get down to 125 lbs. I'm only 5'3" and my BMI shows that I should be between 115 lbs and 145 lbs, so I'd like to be somewhere in the middle.
What are your goals? How long have you been at it?

I'm Liesel. I currently weigh about 165lbs at 5'1". I started changing my lifestyle and trying to lose weight about 3 years ago. My heighest weight was 180lbs. I got down to 150lbs and then was pregnant with my second child. I am now 3 months post-pardum. I gained 35lbs with my pregnancy and lost 20 right away. Now I'm having trouble getting motivated again so I'm happy to have some support. My ultimate goal would be 120lbs. I'm hoping this will give me the kickstart I need. Good luck everyone!0

Hi! I need weekly weigh-ins and someone to keep me accountable. I had gotten down to 147 two years ago, which was really close to perfect for me. But now I'm back up to 166.6 Frustrated that I let it get away from me like that. I'm a stay-at-home mom so food is always only a few steps away. Right now I'm worried about standing up in a wedding next fall. I'd like to look good in the strapless, knee length dress and we have to order our sizes in January. So this group is the perfect time frame for me. Friend me and we can hold each other accountable!0

HI everyone! I'm Jodi.
I've been on MFP for a few years but never participated much in challenges or adding friends, etc until recently and I'm finding it very motivating so here I am! One challenge ends and another begins...
My whole life I've had issues with eating and weight. Eight years ago I weighed in at close to 250lbs. Two year ago I was down to 149 (my lowest weight since I was probably 12 years old). Now, I'm hovering in the 160-170 range.
I would like this year to be the final push to develop the habits that will help me live in the 135-140 range.
Amanda - Thanks for starting this thread and a shout out to Runningsham, my teammate from the last challenge. 0 -
