    Hi! I'm Corinne...My long term MFP goal is to lose 30-35 pounds, putting me about 130, I'm 5'1 so I feel this is a good goal. I also want to be able to run a 10K in the future. I recently started running and am planning on running 5-6 days a week and doing 2-3 strength training. :)

    Hi! I'm Emily. My MFP goal is to become more aware of what I'm putting into my body and lose get down between 115-120. I am more concerned with how I look than what the scale says...so I am switching up cardio routines and adding strength training to my workouts to try and tone up. My boyfriend and I want to run a marathon next year, so we're entering in some races this summer and fall to prepare!

    Hi! I'm Alissa. I've been on my journey to lose 60 pounds for a little over a month now. The scale isn't moving much, but the inches are falling off. I eat as cleanly as possible and exercise at least 5 days a week for at least an hour per day. I'd like to become a runner, and I'm starting a heavy lifting program soon.

    Hi! I'm Ellie, and I've been doing the "fitness thing" for about 2 years. The first year, I got really toned and lost about 15 pounds, but then I got a contusion on my elbow, and lost my grasp on things. Since then, I've gotten more physically active with cardio, but when you add a whole lot more eating and take away the toning, that doesn't equal weight loss. So, anyway, my longterm MFP goal is to lose however much I need to to get to my ideal body, and get much more fit while doing it! Why? I want to be confident and look good, and at this point I'm always wearing a baggy sweatshirt to cover my bump. I'm going to teach myself that just 'cause it's there, it doesn't mean I have to eat it! I'm gonna get past the mental wall and try to do stuff I've never thought I could do.


    Whoo, just writing that got me motivated!

    Oh, I guess I should spill.

    I'm Ruth. I lost 62 pounds last year and got awesome! I've gained about a size back since late last year and I need to rededicate myself to getting to my ultimate goal, which is 35 pounds away. I'm going back to living at the gym and religiously logging everything I consume. I'm not unhappy with where I am now, but I will be SO thrilled if I can get to goal weight. Let's do this!
  • Hi, I'm Melissa. I have tried to lose weight hundreds of times, it seems, and I always quit. I've been back at it for about 3 weeks and am starting to feel great. I have about 80-90 pounds to lose to get to my ultimate goal weight. I want to be more active for my daughter and do races with my husband.

    I look forward to getting to know you all.

    Hi, my name is Kim. I've been on MFP since last July, and have lost about 16 pounds since then. There have been a few times that I've gotten off track since joining though. My highest weight ever was 210 lbs. in about 2005. I'm currently 169/170. My ultimate goal weight would be 145-150. Since January 1 of this year I haven't made much progress. Ready for that to change! I WILL see my goal weight in 2012! :happy:

    Glad to have friends along the way. Feel free to add me!
