I am taking this semester off of school, so I figure these next few months will allow me to dedicate the most amount of time to my health. I live with my boyfriend, but he isn't on the healthy train (yet), so outside motivation is crucial. Yay, challenges! Good luck everyone!

I don't want to sound rude but a weigh loss group named after a burger seems like an oxymoron to me. LOL Sorry.

tenoclockbird

Just in time! I want in on this!

Name: You can call me Bird

CW: 195 (as of this morning, down 8 lbs from Jan 1, thankyouverymuch!)

GW: for this challenge, I'd like to lose 15 lbs, so 180

non weight goal: To exercise regularly. Let's say 3 times a week/30 min each. Truth is, I hate to sweat, so this would be big.

Me: I'm a 40 year old SAHM with three kids, (8,7,and 2). I gained a little weight after each kid, but when my last child was 20 months old I found myself within a couple pounds of my max weight at nine months pregnant with my first child, and I got scared. And I saw the picture in my profile. It was a wake up call. I swear, that isn't what I see in the mirror. So I went through the closet and packed up everything I can't wear, but won't get rid of. I've got the barest possible wardrobe until I can open that box in the basement

intro: I've noticed a lot of people on here saying that they were diabetic and they wanted to lose weight to help with that, I'm also diabetic but unlike most of the people I've seen, I'm type 1 not 2 so I'm stuck with it till I die probably.

Is it too late to join?? My name is Teenya

C.W. 151
G.W. 141
Goal - hoping to feel better about the way I look in clothes and find some energy. Keeping off those hypertension meds would make me happy too!

I am a 38 year old mom of two teenage boys, working full time, going to school full time and just feeling like the stress is taking over. And to top it off I am stress eater, so I just tend to gain weight. I start health trends but always kinda fizzle out after a couple of weeks of enthusiasm. I just don't want to do it anymore and am really trying to find the determination through MFP

Hi everyone, I would love to join I am up for the challenge. It will definitely keep me motivated on keep me going!


1) Julie Ann
2) 201
3) 180
4) To be able to feel good about myself and not be afraid to look in the mirror!
5) I am going to be 35 yrs old on Jan. 27th and I have already battled so many addictions in my life, it is time to battle my food & fat addiction. My husband and I quit smoking back in September. I gained about 40 pounds after that and when I hit my highest weight not-pregnant, I flipped out. I weighed in at 212 pounds and was absolutely sick to my stomach. It was so crazy how fast the weight just crept up on me. I am a mother to 4 beautiful children, 3 boys and 1 girl. My daughter who just turned 11 last August is already starting a weight issue and she came up to me and showed me she has stretch marks on her inside thighs. So I am not only doing this for me but for my children. I am not one to have patience and I wish I could lose my weight fast, as I am sure we all do, but as long as I see some kind of progress happening I won't feel so bad. Thank you for this group because I really need this. I was in such a bad depression once I hit 212 pounds that I didn't want to do anything but sit in my computer chair and stare at the computer.....

Good luck to everyone - I know we can all do this!

:flowerforyou:
1) Ashley
2) 154 (Originally at 160 before MFP)
3) 139
4) To feel confident in a swimsuit!!
5) I am 26 years old and I have not been happy with my body since my teen years. I struggle with sticking to eating healthy and working out. I need some serious motivation and support to maintain it. I always get discouraged when I hit my plateau, which is usually between 152-150. I am confident this group will help me reach my goal and I know I can help motivate others. We are all in it together!

Thanks for joining all! I will be sending your invites shortly. You are the last to join. The group is now closed. So sorry to those who are checking on this post. We are now fully started. To those of you who just posted on here, you will be getting an invite into our group page. That is where all the discussions will take place. Challenges are posted weekly, as well as some other fun discussion topics. For the sake of keeping things organized I have asked that I be the only one to start a discussion thread. If there is a discussion you'd like added for our group, please message me and I will put it on. Thanks for joining! Have fun!
