    Hello CynthiaCollin and the rest of the team, I am qkiley and would love to join the crew if possible.

    I started MFP at 279 and am currently at 266.6. For my own health, and the weddings I have coming up, I would love to drop at least another 30lbs. I think this group would be a big help!

    I would love to join the team as well. My current weight is 174 and I want to lose about 30-40lbs by my 30th birthday which is in July! My motto is "Getting Me Back" (#FitByThirty). I also have a page for women on Facebook called Getting Me Back which inspires women to not only get healthy physically but emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. This is a lifestyle change for me and I love that there are people on this site to support and motivate me as I do the same for them. God bless everyone in their success!!!

    Success is not a race, be patient.
    Success leads to success.
    Success is always a work in progress.
    Success doesn't come to you--you go to it.
    Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
    Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it.
    Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying.
    Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!
    If at first you don't succeed-try, try again

    Hope everyone is having a great day ! Keep up the good work !

    Transport yourself to the islands with this Jamaican-inspired soup, full of fresh shrimp and sweet mangoes. We loved this soup with regular store-bought curry powder, but if you happen to have Jamaican-style curry powder, which has a hint of allspice, this is a great place to use it. Serve with brown basmati or jasmine rice with sliced pineapple for dessert.

    Hi cynthia, I'd like to join please too. My starting weight is 323 and would love to get down to 250 but even if I make it to 280 I would be over the moon. I need to do this for health reasons obviously but also for my own self esteem.

    I'd like to join as well. I hope it's not too late.

    I am 4'11 and currently weigh 157 lbs. (I feel adding my height puts me more in perspective).

    My goal weight is 120 lbs. that might change, but that's what it is at the moment :)
