Hello, Ladies! I would love to join you all! I have been floundering recently due to lack of motivation, but maybe this is just what I need. It would be awesome to lose 8 pounds by Halloween! My starting weight is 152.6 (bloated). My personl goal for this week is to exercise 6 days. I have been so depressed about summer coming to an end that I have been eating like crazy and I haven't exercised in almost a week.

A little about me. My name is Tracy and I am a 35 year old (almost my birthday is 9/11) mom to 4 wonderful kids. I also work full time so I am pretty busy, but I am not going to use that as an excuse anymore. I have lost 34 pounds so far and my goal weight is 135.

Thanks for letting me join!

I didn't introduce myself properly before- My name is Sara, 39, and I'm the mom of 4 fantastic boys ages 7-14.

Starting weight as of today: 144.8 lb
I know at least a pound of that is bloat, but it's stuck around for 2 weeks and just starting to come off now.
My exercise goal this week is at least an hour each day, with 2 HIIT sprinting sessions.

KristynStephens15

Most of you on here know me, but for those that dont...

Im Kristyn, 25 year old, stay at home mom of 2. Colton 4 years old, and Easton 6 months old. Married to my husband Danny for almost 6 years, been together for almost 8 years.

I like the idea of everyone introducing themselves and setting personal goals :happy:

Hi Ladies!! Starting Weight as of today is 161.4. I am so close to the 150's i can taste it!! For the newcomers....welcome! My name is Angela and I am 33, a full time accountant, married 7 years this Oct 30th (perfect to have another 8 lbs or more gone!) we have been together 16 years, and mother of two beautiful children - Nicholas and Olivia. I recently purchased myself a treadmill becuase my husband has been traveling alot with work and i was finding it very difficult to continue with my workouts. Best investment i made next to my heart rate monitor. I had set a personal goal for myself to lose 60 lbs by 11/1 so this challenge is just what i need - thank you Latoya for keeping us going! Good luck to everyone and i look forward to the next two months with you

Hi!!!

I'm in! )

I'm a fulltime working mom, with 21 month old twins! I have been struggling to get back to my pre-pre pregnancy weight....I had gained about 20lbs trying to get preggers, then gained some after my sweethearts.

My weight PRIOR to all of this was 120....I am now 156.5 lbs. So! I am excited to get back on this bandwagon, and LOVE challenges!

Thanks so much for letting me join.

My goal is 20 minutes of cardio 3Xweek....to start.....primarily this month I am focusing more on changing my eating habits....cutting out the whitestuff (sugar, flour, salt...etc).

Cheers to us all!

Ps: I am still not sure what I want to be for Halloween..... )

nicolerah

I see some of us are introducing ourselves for the sake of those who dont know... lol.. so I wont be left out of that!

I am Nicole.. and I'm a single mother of two kids.. both from separate relationships.. My son, Che, is 17 and my daughter, Celina, is gonna be 3 in October. I live on an island in the Caribbean called Trinidad and I am in the process of an entire transformation of my life... wanna finally take ME down the paths that I've always dreamed of!

Feel free to add me, those who don't have me as a pal here..... I think support is great here on MFP and I have met some really wonderful people who are slowly but surely becoming friends!

:drinker: :drinker: <

Hello! I'm excited about this! My starting weight for this challenge is 211. My ultimate goal is to be somewhere in the 150's! I usually do 2 hours of Zumba a week, but of course, they cancelled tonights class due to the holiday, and I'll miss Wednesday's class because my husband has to work late. But, I'll find a way to get 2 hours of cardio in. Thanks, Latoya!

Hi Fellow Mommies!

I'm super excited to see so many new mommies. I love making new friends:flowerforyou: I guess everyone is doing introductions..

My name is Nicole(like nicolerah) I am happily married(5 yrs) to my best friend of the last 10 years, and we have 2 young boys, 18 months apart - the youngest is 9 months old. I am active-duty in the U.S. Navy for the last 4 years. I will be going to my next duty station, a ship in Japan, in early-December. I started my weight loss journey in March, 3 months after having my youngest & have not looked back since. It is really motivating for me personally to be on this journey with other mommies who have decided to get serious about fitness/health. As moms, we tend to put ourselves last(first=kids, work, husbands, housework, playdates, etc). I do not think we should be forced to choose one over the other & this challenge is proof that we CAN do it all!!

Let's get HOT for HALLOWEEN, "MUMMIES"!!!

Starting Weight:141.6lbs(yesterday). I think that the cardio challenge will be great!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day

ps.... Angelcasey... Oct. 30th is my Celina's birthday.. nice little coincidence there! Great date!

Hi everyone,
I'm a 34 yr old Canadian Mom to a very active 3yr old boy. My ultimate goal is to be 150, however, my first mini-goal is 199. Only four more pounds to go woot. I like this challenge as Halloween is my boy's 4th bday and mine is the next day. Eight pounds off will be a great birthday gift to myself
