    This is a great idea, and it will help to have the motivation from others with a similar goal!! We are having a family reunion at Christmas this year, and I would like to weigh a lot less than I do now.

    I have struggled with my weight for many years. The Fitness Pal seems to be working for me because it keeps me on track.

    Current Weight: 172
    Goal Weight 150

    About Me: Married for 30 years, 2 grown kids - 27 and 29, work during the day, play the piano.

    Guess I should introduce myself - I'm Trent, from Colorado. 27 years old, an accountant by day, runner & experimental cook by night. :laugh: I will be running my 1st half marathon on October 9th. I love cooking - trying new recipes and finding healthy ways to make things. I try to eat mostly clean, though I do like my definitely-not-clean no-sugar-added hot cocoa every day. :bigsmile:

    I've lost about 40 lbs since last summer (from 210ish to 170ish), and am hoping to eventually get down to somewhere between 125 and 135. (Yes, that's low for a guy, but I'm only 5' 3.5" and that puts me toward the middle of my healthy BMI range.)

    Current weight per MFP is 171.6, though I'll weigh in on Sunday for an "official" starting weight for this challenge.
    Goal weight at Christmas is 135-140.

    I'm 29 years old from a very cold South Africa at the moment! I'd like to drop 60 lbs by my birthday which is in early January so hopefully this challenge will help keep me on target.
