    Hi, my name is Sherry. I'm 46 yrs. old and I'm the mother of 3 very handsome young men. (pictured in my signature) They think they are very funny and I never know what to expect from them next. I am a cafeteria manager who is currently out on workmans comp due to a back injury I got at work so I am limited on the amount of exercise I can do. I'm fairly new to MFP and look forward to this challenge.

    start weight: (as of 2/19/2011) 187.6

    I need some extra, extra motivation so I guess I can see if this works!
    My name is Rachel, I'm 20 years old and a full time college student but I also have a job on campus with the school's catering service (so much bad food during work shifts! It's a challenge to limit myself when that's the only thing I can eat for dinner some days!) I actually like working out so that's a hobby of mine as well as reading, music, movies, writing, art (more admiring than creating), outdoor activities and travel.
    My HW (and the weight that made me commit to losing it) was 140 last June and my weight when I started MFP in December of 2010 was 130.5
    I've been having some issues with the whole "eating back exercise calories" concept so we'll see how this goes!

    start weight: 133.2 (as of today actually)
