I'm also late with the intro.
I would just like to inform everyone that I am bringing sexy back.
:laugh: Ok, I laughed too when I posted this as my status on facebook awhile back, lol.
But seriously, I am planning on losing 27 lbs in the New Year, preferably by Memorial Day. I have lost 45 lbs so far. To get me to that rocking itsy-bitsy, teeney-weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini, I will do the following:
1. 30 DS
2. Ripped in 30
3. C25K
4. Walking/jogging/running/cyclying 50 miles every month.
5. Insanity/P90X hybrid (if I ever save up enough to get Insanity)
6. Going to the gym 3-4 times a week to work on strength training.
I have already taken a few pics of myself yesterday, so I will be posting those on the 1st.0 -
Hello Everyone :flowerforyou:
I'm 52 years young and have been on MFP since September. I have been on my weight loss journey for a year now going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. Prior to joining MFP I was able to lose 63 lbs. Since being on MFP I have lost another 15 lbs so that makes it a total of 78 lbs lost for 2011 :drinker: . I am hypothyroid and have a very slow metabolism along with knee problems that resulted from a past injury so my calorie burn is not very high. I am currently working with a personal trainer who specializes in sports medicine / rehab to correct all my myofacial tissue issues and what ever else is wrong with me :laugh: . Funny how age has a way of creeping up on you. I'm hoping to increase my calorie burn with the help of my trainer and this challenge is just what I need to keep me in check.0 -
I'm Christina - 35. I'll be doing a lot of walking and the c25k program. I'm also doing the Slim in 6 program starting right after New Year's. I also have the P90x DVDs that I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping to start the year off right and keep it up. Rumor has it that exercise is addictive. We shall see. I think the goal of this group is great and attainable. Nothing too big to get overwhelmed with. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and look forward to burning some calories!0

Hello, I am Carla. My friend Becky (lombrica) invited me to join this group and I think it would fit me to a tee. Is it too late to join? Please add me to your tracker if possible. Thanks and I look forward to working out with all of you.0

Hi I just joined today. I am Emma, a 41 year old from New Zealand. I had MFP set to burn 900 calories a week but wanted to increase that. I do sometimes find it hard to get the numbers up due to working fulltime and being a single mum of four, as well as burning less at a lighter weight. But keen to reach this goal!0

Hi everyone! I'm Leslie from Ajax, Ontario. I'm 43 and have been married almost 23 years. We have two girls, 18 & 20. I'm not sure my exact weight but it is around 200. I will weigh myself in the morning. 2011 was the second start of my weight loss journey. It will be my last start as I WILL succeed this time. My ticker isn't correct as I've put on weight in the last month. I will get it all sorted out in the morning. Mostly, I will be using my treadmill and Leslie sansone videos for exercise. I'm excited to do this and to make new friends as we go our journey together.

Ok, so I totally just followed my friends Becky and Carla in here without them knowing...shhhhhh
I'm Bobbie, and I'll be 37 in 3 weeks...like someone else said, I like presents :-)
I love to exercise, and I've been so excited when taking part in challenges that track the number of calories I burn because it really helps me realize how much I hadn't done over the years and could've been doing all along. I'll never go back to being that girl again! Last week I burned over 6000 calories, which was above average because of being off work, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do in a year and the difference that will make!!0 -

Hello!! My name is Nella. I live in Alberta, Canada. My goal this year is to get to a healthy weight in a healthy way. Good food and regular excercise. Most of my calories burned will be on the treadmill or "just dance" on the WII and walking/jogging outside when the weather permits. I wish each & every one of you success with your goals!0

My name is Andrea, and I live in central IL. Most of my exercise comes from walking or a stationary bike. I'd love to join this challenge....my goal for the year is to lose about 60 pounds by November 5th (my 30th birthday) and a year-long challenge will really help me keep focused! 0 -

I've been sick so I haven't posted, but I'm definitely in for this challenge. It'll be nice to have something to work on all year! My goal is to lose anywhere from 15-25 pounds this year...that will land me right in the middle of the normal BMI range.0

Hi everyone, my name is Melissa and this seems like a good way to make sure I try to exercise every day (which I am bad at). I am with-in normal BMI range for my height and age (5'3", 28) but marriage has added on a few pounds and I want to stop the trend before it is to late. So if any of you notice that I have not commented in a month send me a email telling me to get off my butt

Hi everyone My name is Tonya. I'm 28 (29 January 27). I just joined MFP yesterday via my phone and this is the first time I have actually been on the site. I want to lose about 40-50 pounds. The dieting part has never been that hard for me but I am a procrastinator and I always say I'll exercise after this show, paragraph, etc. which turns into 1 hour then 2 and then tomorrow (which never really seems to come). I am hoping that by joining this group it will help me to get in the exercise I need to reach my goal. 0

Welcome - and congratulations on taking the first step by setting a goal. I'll get you added to the tracker, and feel free to post your exercise numbers in the tracker as you do them - it really helps keep people focused and on track.0
