    Hello all, hopefully its not to late to join. My name is Chris and I am 27 years old. I have recently gotten engaged and am going back to school full time so a very exciting and busy time in my life. I use to be a very active person but due to my weight gain I have became somewhat insecure and not so willing to participate in the activities I once loved. I have been able to loose from time to time but find it hard to stay motivated, I'm hoping this challenge will help. My ultimate goal is to start running again and have a healthier lifestyle. Plus the fact that my birthday is also in December makes this challenge perfect for me. :wink:


    SW:212
    CW:199.6
    Goal weight by Christmas:165-155

    I'll work on getting my measurments and make sure to post by next week.

    I'm Stephanie! I have over 100 pounds to lose so I'm excited for this longer challenge.

    I hope it is not too late to join...I started MFP about 1 month ago...I have lost 20 pounds to date and am motivated to keep going (although I haven't reached the point where its easy yet...)...Wait...does that ever happen? :wink:

    Current Weight: 259.9
    Goal Weight For 12/25: 211

    211 was my pre-preganancy weight (which has only gone up over the last NINE years since my daughter was born)...

    Hello! Hopefully, I'm not too late in joining. My girlfriend (Cohawk11) said "Let's do this!" so here I am.
    My name is Christine. I have 3 incredible boys, 2 adorable dogs, and 1 marvelous hubby. Like my bf, I have a desk job. I started doing yoga again in the mornings this past week (how many times have I had to say that, "...started doing [exercise] AGAIN...") because I my blood pressure was too high (even on my medication) and I have been feeling really down. Starting this has really helped me feel better, even in such a very short period of time! I also started using [again] my Biggest Loser video for the xbox, and am enjoying it very much. I'm thinking about getting Zumba for the Wii. It's been too hot in KS to do anything else outside. Anyway, I'm glad my bf showed me this challenge. I'm hoping being able to talk with others will help me eventually reach my goal. Good luck everybody!
