    Hello - my name is Rhenee' and I have been on MFP since August. I joined MFP with a friend and I lost 15 pounds and was on track but then my friend dropped out and I have done terrible ever since. I really need to get focused and I think this group will help me with accountability.....I hope anyway.

    Start Weight: 169 (3/13)

    12 Week Goal: 145

    Reason for Wanting to Lose By Summer: I just want to know what it is like to put on a bathing suit or even just shorts and not feel subconscious of the way I look. I have a beautiful swimming pool but only use it when no one else is around. I am 47 years old and if I don't go this now, it will only get harder.

    Hi all !

    Start Weight: 219.6lbs

    12 week goal: 193.2lbs

    Reason: I know that is quite a loss to aim for in 12 weeks but my PT reckons this should be the least amount of weight I can lose and I'm determined to show him that I can. He's the only one in my support network. I have a few reasons for losing the weight:

    1) I want this to be the first summer in a long time that I can wear something other then trousers and a jumper all the time
    2) I don't want to be on painkillers all summer again.
    3) I want to look great not frumpy.

    My name is Nicole. I would like to join this group. I've been just half-heartedly trying to lose for years. It's time to get serious. Everyone in my familiy is obese/overweight and has health problems due to it...diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Every year I say I am going to be in shape for summer and then it passes me by. I just got back from 17 days in Hawaii and if seeing skinny people on the beach isn't a good motivator, I don't know what is! I have weekend trip planned for July 20-22. I would like to lose 30 lbs by then. I need to get serious about tracking my food & staying within my goal. I also really need to exercise more regularly.

    Starting Weight: 172.5
    Goal in 12 Wks: 150

  • Hello, I'm new to MFP. My goal is to lose 20lbs in this 12 week challenge with healthy eating, exercise, and the key to it all...consistency! Thanks for creating this group!

    My main target is to flatten out my tummy and get my arms thinner. I really want to look good in a bathing suit. :smokin:

    Start Weight - 234.2 lb (3/12/12 - heaviest I've ever been)

    12 Week Goal - 10% of body weight down - 210.8

    I challenged my parents to a "Biggest Loser" contest this past weekend. Obviously I want to beat my Dad (who has about 75 lbs to lose as well) and this is a good way to stay accountable to myself, on top of staying accountable to them.

    I've been on WeightWatchers recently and actually managed to gain, rather than lose, because I found creative ways to stay within the points targets but not watch portion sizes.... sometimes I am too smart for my own good. Anyway, I came back to MFP where I've had success before, and decided to join this group as a way to stay accountable.

    My goal in shaping up for summer just fits into my larger goal which is to move to the "normal" column on the BMI chart - and to be able to do 100 regular pushups in a workout.

    Hi Sammy! It can be tough to do this with little support, so I'm happy to be in your support network as well :smile:

    Hello!! I just joined this group and also MyFitnessPal

    Start Weight: 196 lbs

    12 Week Goal: 184 lbs or more

    I want to look good this summer and not look like a beached whale and worry about if people are staring at the fat mom with her daughter. I hate wearing a bathing suit now and plus I used to be 130 lbs before I got pregnant and had my daughter so I am going to try to get down to close to what I used to be give or take 10 to 15lbs.

    I decided to keep my goal here small because all though I do want to shed a few pounds my main goal is to build up muscle(:

    Last summer I went to Disney with my family. I hate every picture I'm in :(

    Target is 164lbs, which is my goal weight. That is what I was after I got done with basic training in 2004, and that was the healthiest I had ever been in my life.

    in 12 weeks it'll be mid-may and my 20th birthday is on the 25 may :) A little gift to myself.

    So excited about this! I'll be doing mostly upper body circuits and bodyweight stuff as I'm healing from knee weakness. I'll also try a month of Jilian Micheals! If anyone is up for it with me that would be awesome!!
