Hi! I'm Lori I'm from Woodbury Nj, (hopefully this is temporary) and I'm on MFP because I wanted accountability and support losing baby weight in a healthy way
My actual start weight was 196 currently I am 160 my goal for these twelve weeks is 140 pounds.
My first week challenge will be to workout seriously 3 times and drink 80 ounces of water.
"Love puts up with all things, trusts in all things, hopes for all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13-7. Right now I'm in a dark place in my life due to my husband wanting a divorce, so this verse is meaningful to both my desire to save my marriage but myself also. I will love myself, I will trust myself and my gut, I will have hope for aspirations, and I will endure.
I will not crumble because life is hard right now, I will rise above and achieve my goals.0 -
Yay!!! I wanted to join a group!! Good luck to everyone!! :flowerforyou:
Name: Araceli Location: Stockton, CA
Reason why I am on MFP I want to lose this weight because I’m terrified of becoming a Diabetic, or having hypertension and anything else that comes with being overweight. And like everyone else here I want to go shopping for clothes smaller clothes that are cute and comfortable. I want to be comfortable in my own skin.
Challenge: I really don’t have a problem drinking water so if the challenge this week is drinking water I should be fine. We’ll see how this week goes and look forward to next week’s challenge.
Motivational Statement- I don’t have a motivational statement yet... Just enjoying this ride as I go along and trying to make it fun for myself to stay motivated on this journey.
I’m hoping to lose atleast 3lbs a week, but if not 2 is fine to. :happy:

Name: Lauren
Location: Buffalo, IN (very small town, right next to Indiana Beach!)
Reason(s) Why I am on MFP: I am extremely insecure with very low confidence...I also have a lot of knee problems that my doctor has told me several times could go away with weight loss...plus I really want to be healthy. I have a family history of diabetes, so I want to do everything I can to avoid getting that!
Challenge: I love water challenges, because I always drink tons of water anyway!!
Motivational Statement-When you get to a plateau, think of it as a landing on the stairway to your goal. And maintenance is a lifelong plateau, so a bit of "rehearsal" for maintenance isn't the worst thing in the world When I saw this, I was (and still am) stuck at 181..This is now the 5th week I have been at this weight, and this statement has helped me push through it.
I am so glad to be a part of another year end challenge! I am running my own challenge for 2012, and I like having extra challenges to help push me...especially since I've been stuck at 181 for so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
name: Teresa
location: Tinley Park, IL. ( Southern Suburb of Cicago)
Reasons on MFP: i used to be an athlete/dancer and i was so healthy and felt great. i miss that feeling. my husband is an athlete and looks amazing and i want people to stop looking at us like, " why is HE with HER?". i want to be healthier and if that means I look better by getting there, I am ok with that.
Challange: I have a small kidney and I drink lots of water anyway but I'll try 100 oz, setting a goal always helps.
also I want to make sure I move everyday for at least 30 minutes, walking, jogging, dancing, playing whatever, but move!
i am currently at 149 lbs. At 4 feet 11 so basically I am a meatball
Goal. 120lbs0 -
Oops forgot my motivational quote,
The meak and weak are only percieved as so by the cruel and mean.
I am little, but mighty!
Run Like the wind Bullseye
Hope everyone has a great week1!0 -
Hi everyone. My name is Gina and I'm in California. I joined MFP because I've been steadily gaining weight (especially now that I'm a full time student) and I've been feeling terribly out of shape (or more so at least lol).
Right now I'm 152/153. My immediate goal is to lose at least 5 pounds in the next 5 weeks, although I would like to eventually reach 130.
One of my motivational quotes is "What is the value of a smile to one who has never known a frown?" I know this sounds like a downer, but to me it means tthat the hardships that I go through in life in the end will only make me stronger. It reminds me that the difficulties in life don't have to destroy me but can instead give me something to learn and grow from. And it is because of these obstacles that I have faced in the past that I can truly appreciate the good things in life when they come my way. 0 -
Yeah!!! I am so glad I have new AND old faces joining me on this journey!!!!!
How did we all do with water yesterday?? I was under my 100oz.... I will get over 100oz today! pinky-swear :laugh:0 -
I only got to 32 oz. yesterday, and that was even with an intense zumba session, so not enough at all, but I'm already nearly to that point today so I think I'll make it!0

Hi, I'm Kelly, I'm 29 and from La Porte IN.
I am new to MFP and joined because I was thin most of my life, have been putting on the weight for the past few years. I want to be thin again. I spend 3 hours a day in a car and 9 1/2 at a desk. I know thats a big contribution to my weight gain.
My goal is 8 glasses of water a day. This will be really hard for me as I never drink it, but I need to start.0 -
I got 96oz yesterday. I'm happy with anything above 90 honestly.0
-
I'm at 88 oz so far today & got in only 68 oz yesterday.0
-
I got in 80oz yesterday, bit disapointed but more thsn 64, working on my 100 for today still.
Keep up all the good work everyone!!!!0
