Hello Fellow six weekers!

I'm starting the 6 week plan today! I need some motivation, so anybody who wants to be my buddy on MFP, I welcome all requests!

About me: I'm 37, 5'1 and I weigh 157lbs. Im a single mom, I work full time, andi go to school full time, clearly there are not enough hours in a day! I'm going to give this my best shot! Before my son was born, I was at the gym 5 days/week and I weighed around 147 lbs. Im naturally pretty stocky, big legs, big boobs, big arms, and it was all muscle when I was working out. After I gave birth, within 6 weeks I lost the 27 lbs I gained during pregnancy, and after 3 months I went down to 135! My lowest weight since high school! I was so happy at that weight, I threw away all my fat clothes. Well, fast forward 3.5 years, bad eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, I'm back to the heaviest I have ever been less 3 lbs. I'm ready to do this, I'm tired of feeling tubby, tired and unhealthy. Here goes! Wish me luck!

Hi!

My name is Lisa and I'm excited to start the 6 week plan today! I read some excerpts from the book yesterday in my Womens Health magazine, bought the book on Kindle and figured there's no time like the present to get started. I will be 42 at the end of June and am around 13 lbs from my goal weight. I participated in my first sprint triathalon last September and then took a "short break" -- which turned into nearly 6 months so am pretty frustrated with myself. I will be participating in the Camp Pendleton Mud Run this June and will be doing another Tri Rock this September.

Living in San Diego, I am ready and motivated to get fit and feel great so that I can play with my two sons & husband at the beach this summer without always reaching for a cover-up, and so that I can participate in mud-runs & triathalons and feel strong!!

I also welcome all buddy requests -- the more the merrier!
Lisa

Hi everyone!
My name is Marissa, and I'm 20 years old. I'm not overweight, but I've got a little extra poundage that I can't seem to shake. I've never really made a habit of exercising or eating healthy, so I'm hoping this six week program will get me started on a healthier and happier way of living! I could use some help though - please come and friend me on myfitnesspal! Always looking for extra support

Hi! I'm Stacy, I'm 37 and I'm from Georgia. I got Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans a week ago and have read most of it. I "used to be" super fit and in shape, ran/walked up to 6 miles a day....then I got married and had two kids. I'm a size 8 and weigh 142 but my goal is about 120 and a size 2. I used to be and I can be again....so excited to get started!

Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm 22 and in Colorado at the moment for school. I got six weeks to Skinny Jeans about a week ago and read it, and I'm now starting to work towards getting into shape. I'm on my 2nd day and so far I love it. I'm a size 18 at 224lbs. I'd like to get to be about 170 and a size 12/14 not in six weeks (I'd like to just be a size 14 at the end of my 6 weeks) but that's my long term goal. I'm really excited about this program and can't wait to start losing.

Hello everyone! I bought this book a few weeks ago and am ready to start the challenge!

I am 39 with three children and a wonderful husband who is supporting me 100% on this plan. I work full time and am taking college courses in my free time, so it has been diffucult to fit in a regular exercise routine. My goal is to lose 50lbs (over a reasonable amount of time) utilizing the strategies laid out in the book. I am on the verge of a size 18 and REFUSE to go there!

Hi all!
My name is Gail and I'm a mother of 4. I served 6 years in the Marines and when I got out I let myself go. Last year I got on the scale and found that I weighed 185lbs. I got depressed thinking about the days I had been able to fit into a size 5. Over the past year and a half I've managed to lose 25lbs, so now I'm down to 160lbs, but I'm still not able to lose the fat around my waist, thighs and arms. I'm starting this program tomorrow with a positive mind and lots of hope that at the end of the 6 weeks I will be able to fit into the size 9 jeans I have hanging on my wall for motivation. If I have to I'll repeat this until I lose the last 20lbs I promised myself I would lose.

Hi everyone!

My name is Christine, I moved back to my hometown two years ago weighing 117 lbs. Over the past year I have gained 65 pounds and am now a size 14. I have been depressed thinking about the weight gain and have decided to start this plan with the goal of wearing a size 9 again. I also have a daughter who is 16 and weighs 280 pounds. We are doing this together. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism which slows the metabolism down and refuse to give in to it. Any suggestions and support is greatly appreciated. I wish everyone the best in their journey to success!!

Celticb3lly

My name is Sarah. I am 25 years old and have never been skinny. In past years, since starting my second year of college, my weight is slowly creaping up and up. I am a registered nurse and know how important it is to look after my own health so that I can better care for others. When I last checked what I weighted, 2 weeks ago before a family trip, I was 262 pounds. I still not all the way home yet so will officially weight myself to start the plan tomorrow. I wouldultimately like to get downto 135 pounds or a size 8. I currently wear a tight18 really should be wearing a 20 but refuse to buy a pair.
