eejieweejie, aka Emily! 26 years old and mother to a beautiful 3 year old son! I started my new (and last! Gotta stick with it for good this time!) journey on Tuesday, so the weigh ins conveniently fall on my weigh in day! I'm running out of clothes that fit, and I refuse to buy new bigger ones! I do however plan to buy some new ones once I lose some weight! Starting weight is 141lbs, and I hope to get down to at least 125lbs.
Good luck everyone!!0 -
Hello, I'm Monita!
Since I'm in a local 12-week weigh loss challenge, I wanted to "up" my game so I can win! It was hard to log in and the MFP site seemed very boring. Then I thought "I'm bored with this site because I don't have any friends". So I friended a bunch of people and stumbled across the Community section of the site where I saw all types of challenges. I would get in a challenge and then after a week or so it would die out. So, I decided to join 7 challenges! Boy has it kept me hopping! I'm managing all of my challenges in an Excel spreadsheet with different tabs for the challenges AND color coded for daily, weekly, or monthly challenges. I'm such an Excel Wiz! Some challenges are daily, for some I have to log in miles and others I have to work on teams. With so much to do, I'm not bored at all. Furthermore, I lost 3 pounds during this last week because I was trying to do everything.
This is working for me. I the past 6 years, I've lived in 4 states, worked at 4 different companies, had a baby and finished my MBA! So I figure, instead of studying 2-3 hours a day, I could focus on my health 1-2 hours a day. It's paying off! I started my weightloss journey on Dec 15, 2010 at 297 lbs and today I'm 265 lbs. It's been coming off slowly BUT since I've joined these fantastic challenges, I've lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks!
Thanks for having me! Everyone, feel free to friend to me!

Hey ladies, again I'm Regina, I've never done a weight loss challenge before so this should be fun! Nice to meet all of you :-)
I'm not so much trying to lose weight as I'm trying to lose this layer of fat that I've accumulated, I want to get muscle definition back. I used to be a dancer, and I'm very petite, so while 140 doesn't *SEEM* like a lot (and it really isn't), extra weight just looks awkward on me because I'm kind of short and have a very small frame, and so I have a lot of cellulite and just feel icky in general. I just want to get back to the shape I was in when I was dancing. And I'm also going to 2 huge music festivals at the end of the summer for 3 days a piece and I want to be one of those girls that just can rock a bikini top and shorts, especially since I'm going to be surrounded by a bunch of guys (some of whom are relatively famous) who I haven't seen in years . Gotta look my best! I don't want to hear anyone say "Wow you have gained weight since I last saw you!" (Not such a good feeling...def have heard that one before as of late)
Is anyone doing any specific programs? I'm doing couch to 5k and Abs Diet for Women for now (so basically light cardio and light weights to get my strength up), but in a few weeks I'm going to start Slim in 6...which I'm scared of. And after Slim in 6 I want to try Power 90 and then maybe even P90X (but let's not get ahead of ourselves ^.~)0 -
I love reading all of your stories. I think I see a little bit of myself in each one of you.
daizileigh- we'll i've never realllly tried to diet.. so maybe this time we can do it together and actually succeed!
eejieweejie- o my I have the same problem. I was just talking to my husband about how when i get skinny I will have a whole new wardrobe- my own! We'll get there right?!
OkieWorkout- that's soo awesome that you have some much to keep you going! we're glad to have you in our group! If you have any suggestions please let me know!
reginamazing- which festivals are you going? wakarusa? bonaroo? My family is going to both.
Just to clarify. Please send me your first weigh in on MONDAY. YAYAY 0 -
Challenge Ladies- Tomorrow is weigh-in day! Don't forget to send me your starting weight. You can also send me your favorite dieting tip- i'll post them 0

Hi, my name is Megan.
Currently I work in retail and go to college part time. When I was going to college full time, I gained about 50 pounds my first year. At my heaviest I was around 210 pounds and when I found that out I couldn't believe it. I have been a "yo-yo dieter" since then. Last year I lost almost 30 pounds when my doctor put me on a low-carb diet because she said I had a fatty liver and fluctuated between 165 and 170 and felt comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bathing suit.
After I started dating my boyfriend, we both stopped watching what we were eating and I went from a size 7 to a size 13 in a little under 2 months. I also went back on depo-provera, which seemed to make the weight gain go at light speed. (He went up two pants sizes, but it took about 6 months for that to happen, lucky him!) I started at MFP at about 191 or so. Currently I'm down to 184 but some days I get discouraged because I see a gain of 2 or 3 pounds... but I have a tendency to weigh myself multiple times a day.
This weight loss challenge seemed like a fun time, and I think it would motivate me to work harder at exercise. I'm pretty competitive so I think this is the kick in the rear that I need.
I'm doing this to feel better in my clothes from last summer (because what college kid has the money to buy new clothes?!), wear a bikini again, and have the great energy that I had before.
I bet if we compete, but at the same time, work together, we can all do this!

Hi Megan! Gosh I feel like I went through the same thing! I gained all of my weight in college. Not as fast as...but I gained about 8 pounds with each depo shot. actually every time I get on birth control I gain tons of weight. boo.
Okay so far I have starting weights from:
kmarker8245
heidi_79
eejieweejie
sarahbeth17
avrba53
christ804
SilentRenegade
So far these ladies are IN! I'll keep it open until mid after noon tomorrow and hopefully we'll get some more people. If not... looks like we'll be competing hardcore against each other! ANNNND I've decided there is going to be an etsy prize at the end.
Remember the more you post, the more you encourage each other.
Like, Megan (SilentRenegade) said "I bet if we compete, but at the same time, work together, we can all do this!" 0 -
Sorry I disappeared, I was in Key West for the week and didn't have my computer with me. I didn't forget about you ladies
I'm going to 3 different cities for Warped Tour, I know a few of the bands that are playing on the main stages, and I'm also going to Lollapalooza in Chicago, where I know another band that is playing. I'm really excited to see my so many of my friends in 1 place considering they all live across the country in California and I hardly get to see them.
So I know I missed the first weigh in but I hope I can still join in :-)0 -
I'll sign up for when the next one starts! I love group weighins!0

Hey guys!!
My name is Jessica, I am 24 years old. I am a college student who currently lives at home with my dad. I have been overweight all of my life and have been on yo yo diets since i can remember. But much to my surprise this one is working for me!!! I think it is working mostly because of all of the support that I have right now, and because of the fact that I am soooo happy with my life right now. I have a wonderful boyfriend whom I have been with for a year this month,and in October I will be moving to Louisville to be near him. I have 2 dogs and a cat (the dogs are loving all the exercise I am doing BTW) and everything is just going well. Before when I was dieting it was because my mom told me I had to and she told me what I could and couldn't eat, but now I am doing it because I want to, and that makes all the difference!!
So happy to be doing this with you all!!!
