    ANYWAY, about me I'm caroline, I turned 20 last week and I am a college student at home for the summer! Since college started I have gained and lost the same 20 ish pounds and im ready to lose it FOR GOOD! plus more to get to my goal! right now I am on MFP a fair amount because I have an internship where I am at a computer most of the day!! im SO excited to have all of you on my team..i know we got this :) cant wait to start the challenges!!!!!
    That's the -exact- same situation I'm in, haha (only I'm going to turn 21 in two weeks, finally!)

    SW: 130
    GW: 115
    Other goals: dance practice at least 2 hours a day + drink at least 6 cups of water a day

    I'm really bad about drinking water -- I usually give in and opt for a juice, but juices are still full of sugar and icky things, esp if they come from a plastic bottle. So I'm going to slowly move my way up to drinking more water. I'm currently doing about 3 cups a day + 2 cups of other liquids (juice, tea), so I think August I'll aim for 6 a day :)

    My name is Janet and I'm a 32 year old mother to four. I began this journey two years ago and had great success with MFP, but have gone thru a bad stretch and gained it all back. I think this challenge is the jump start I need to get back into this. This is my first challenge even though I'm a long time fitness pal member

    Current weight is 174.8, not sure what it will be on Monday after a big weekend. :laugh: So far I have been unable to lose much more than a pound a week but am hoping to kick it up some in August so goal would be 168.

    OK here are my stats and goals

    Starting weight: 254
    Goal Weight: 245

    Non-scale goals:

    1.Work out three times during the business week
    2.Do one ACTIVE activity with the family on the weekends (ie last weekend we drove up to NH and hiked the Flume Gorge, was gorgeous but an awesome work out too!)

    Oh and 3. I log and plan during business week great but need to be more disciplined during the weekends!

    Thats awesome, my hubby works in Cambridge! I work in Woburn. Would be kinda fun maybe for the local boston area ppl to get together for a walk or exercise thing in august?!?! We live in Wakefield and it has Lake Q, never can spell it right lol, 3 miles to go around it completely!
