    Okay, well I guess I'll introduce myself a little. I'm Chelsea. I'm 20 And I'm currently majoring in elementary education. Weight has always been a struggle in my life. I've always been bigger. Before having my gallbladder removed and being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, i was down to 180. But then shot up 55 lbs. So I'm here because I'd love to be back at 180, but it'd be even better to be lower! :-)

    Good morning Chelsea and team... my real name is Andrea but you can just call me Drea. I'm 21 years old and I have a full time job and run my own business on the side. Needless to say I have been very busy and exercise is not something that has fit into my schedule. I began working out almost 2 months ago so far I lost 9lbs. I'm looking forward to losing more and getting down to at least 150.... I wish you all the best! Can't wait til the 1st!!! ^_^

    Also, the creator wants everyone to send the captain of their teams (me) a current picture of there body and one after the challenge so we can do before and after pictures. If you all could, please send me one to my email @ andreachanea_jones@yahoo.com. This is a requirement of the challenge. With the picture add your current weight and please don't feel discouraged because we are all here for the same reasons. Thank you all for your cooperation in advance.

    Hi time to introduce myself. I'm lesa and I'm 36. I live on the west coast of scotland (just across from isle of arran) with my husband and toddler son. I've struggled with my weight my whole adult life, got down to a normal weight twice and quickly gained again. I'm absolutely determined to lose it, keep it off and continue with a healthy active life. The more people I can help on the way and who can support me, the better. Please add me as a friend if you like. I'm already benefiting from mfp and have lost 17 in just over 2 months, although havent lost in last 2weeks so I need this challenge. The tasks we have for week one look fun. Bring it on!
