    I just joined today .. I am 46 years old and have three daughters .. 21, 23 and one is 2 1/2 years old!... I am also about to be a grandmother any minute! I have to do this for my kids. Particularly my little one - and the grandbaby on the way....

    I was in great shape before the last baby 160 lbs and a size 10... Size doesn't really matter now.. I just need the energy to be present for my little one(s).

    So starting weight is 215.. Goal weight is 160lb -

    Count me in with my message sent to you :)

    GW: 149

    20 lbs might be a lofty goal, and it more than likely is, but I like to think I'll be able to make it :)

    And I REALLY like the idea of weekly challenges! Keeps it interesting! :)

    May I push for situps so I'll be motivated to do it again? LOL

    Sit ups work for me! I need to start doing them again as well! I'm thinking a certain number per day...what do you think? How many?

    I'd say anywhere from 50-100. Depends on everyone else though and if they're into it and how many they'd like! :)

    No matter what the scale says, you started on your journey and that is a wonderful gift to yourself and your family and friends. Good for you!

    This would be perfect for me, as we are going on a cruise on Sept. 2! But I am new to the MFP family. Do I need to "friend" you to send my details or would just posting them work?

    Nope! Not to late! And I got your numbers down!
    Send me your weekly weigh-in, which every day you'd like but make sure it's once a week!
    This week we're going to try to do 100 sit ups a day....if you can't do 100, just do as many as you can! Some is better than none!
