    Hey Everyone!
    Name: Rim (Reem)
    About Myself: I am a graduate student studying Neuroscience (specifically the effects of an appetitve hormone called ghrelin on obesity & stress, so I know whats going on in you BRAIN lol). I am a gym rat, I go to the gym 6 days a week and I love being active. Like many of the members seem to struggling with, my problem is food. I love it. Healthy food mind you but lots of it (really who needs to eat 5 banana's a day I ask you?) So I need to buckle my booty down and get this done. I want to look as fit as I feel when I am done doing 300 squats in less then 10 mins;)

    Current weight: 168
    12 week goal : 150
    Ultimate weight: 130

    I have been reading everyone's posts and not just in this group but the site and I LOVE how positive everyone is! And inspirational! Keep up the good work!
    Feel free to add me as a gym motivator if you can scold me for eating too much;)

    Good Luck!!

    Hi

    I'm Deborah. Last year I joined myfitnesspal and lost about two stone since Nov I stopped coming on this site as I was to busy (a very poor excuse) now Xmas is over and I'm about 7lbs heavier I'm ready to start again but need a challenge to keep me interested so joined this group.
    I'm 42 years old and go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week where I do body conditioning for toning and building muscle and zumba for a cardio workout.
    I will be weighing/measuring myself in the morning and to start with I'd like to lose 28lb. I prefer to set mini targets rather than a massive one!

    Good luck everyone x

    Hi All! My name is Joanne! It looks like we have alot of positive and motivating people in this group!!

    I am 39 years old, I am a stay at home mom. I have been fighting with the scale for about 15 years now. About 3 years ago, I thought I had it all under control, but that didnt last, I ended up gaining all my weight plus some back :mad: I know we can help each there, just knowing that we all have this in common is half the battle.

    Starting weight: 281lbs.
    12 week Goal weight: 251lbs.

    Hello everyone, my name is Angel.

    Ever since I started working night shift, I've gained at least 15lb over the past 3 years :mad: It doesn't help that I have a messed up sleep schedule and am feeling chronically fatigued. My diet has been horrible and my exercise regimen is nonexistent. I live 1 block away from a 24 hour health club, and I'm still too lazy to go exercise on a regular basis. I need to something like this to jump start my weight loss again!


    Starting Weight: 157

    12 Week Goal Weight: 140

    Hello there, my name is Melo and I am a 37 year old mother of 3. I've been a member of MFP for about a year but I just decided today to make 2012 the year to find "me." I am 152 lbs and I am 5'2. I have struggled to keep my extra pounds off for a while but I as I get older I don't want to live unhealthy anymore. I want to influence my children and my husband to make good choices, to live a healthy life. I am borderline diabetic and my family has heart disease. I don't want that for me. I'm a bit apprehensive joining this group because I'm nervous that I'll fail...again. Oh well, let's try this. I've never joined a group before either. But I LOVE Biggest Loser and well...here we go.

    I'm a constant dieter where I loose and gain and loose and right now I'm on the gain trying to loose once again. I'd like to keep the weight off for good actually. I can tell I'm at the most unhealthy point I've ever been and I never want to get back to this point again. I'm also newly engaged so I'd like to have my act together sooner than later.

    Name: Bridget

    About Yourself: I'm a 20 year old college student attending Texas A&M. I work at Mcalister's Deli and a bakery, so it's quite a challenge to refrain from all the good and not so healthy food around me. I'm tired of making school and work my excuse for not getting into shape. 2012 is my year to shine, and I'm ready for all the hard work and determination that's going to get me there!

    Starting Weight: 145

    Goal weight: 125

    Hi - I just joined the group. Looks like it is getting quite large - maybe we could split up into colored teams (like on the show) and do some challenges along the way??? I would be willing to help if so!

    Anyway, I am a 45yo SAHM with two teen stepdaughters (fully, 100% custodial - they never see their mom and haven't since 2008) plus my only biological child (a 5yo little girl that has all of us wrapped around her pinky!).

    My current weight is :frown: (actually wish that were a paperbag smiley) -- 254.3 pounds

    I am not sure where I want to be in 12 weeks, what would be reasonable. I am guessing 235 would be reasonable and doable. I just started doing the Biggest Loser Challenge on my Wii (moderate level so that was good!), and I am walking at a local track ever day for about 20 minutes (it's at the school where my 5yo attends, so I walk it while waiting for her to get out of school).

    Looking forward to the Challenge here!!! :happy:
