Hi my name Selena. And I am turning 43 in June. I am a mother of 4 and wife, who works full time in sales. While, I have been working hard over the last year to live a healthier lifestyle ; I have hit a plateau. This challenge will help me stay motivated and hopefully help me move closer to my goal.

I'm Shianan (the i is sort of silent, but if you want to pronounce it right, pretend you're Sean Connery). I'm currently in Iowa, but will be moving to Washington state at the tail end of the challenge, and my army DH will be coming home. Lots of readjustments, so for me, not only will this be a weight loss challenge, but a test of my willpower to not cave in to my DH's harmless intentions. (This is really good, have a bite!) Also, since it's a 2 day drive with two kids, lots of sitting on my *kitten* and fast food. Hopefully, I can find a Subway at every food stop and get something healthy-ish. I have two kids, and with the first my weight melted after he was born...not so much with the second. I've lost 16lbs since she was born 2.5 years ago. Yeah. Time to step that up a bit!

I would love to show off my 10lbs lighter body to my husband who's not been home in AGES!! (Okay, 3 years, but isn't that long enough!?)

Hi I'm Theresa and I am 40 yrs old. I am a Mom and wife to Nick and Kevin. July 8th my son turns 13 and as a gift to myself I would love to lose at least 10 lbs by then. I have always struggled with my weight losing and gaining. I lost 50 lbs 3 yrs ago but had gained 30 back. I started my weight loss journey again in February and have lost 19 so far. I would love to be so much smaller by my 41st birthday at the end of September. Good Luck everyone!

Hello, my name is Emilie and I am 24 years old. I am a stay-at-home-mom. I don't ever remember stepping on the scale and being under 210 pounds. After I had my son in 2006, I weighed 264 pounds and slowly got down to 230. Then in 2010 I after I had my daughter I weighed 245 pounds and I pretty much stayed that weight until October of 2011. I have lost 77 pounds since 10-2011! I am so close to having a healthy BMI, my goal is 130 and whenever I get there is fine with me!

Hi , I'm Linda. I am turning 48 in October and decided it is time to get it right. Figure it's now or never. Juggling the stress of a career and family Caused me to make bad food choice for years. I have been out MFP since Oct 2011 on and off. I have been doing a cardio workout 6 days a week since March. Weight loss has been extremely slow but I am determined to keep it going. Down 3.5 with. 40 plus to go. Could use help with encouragement.

joyzeejay

Hi, everyone! I'm Jovan, 42, and live in Fayetteville, NC. I'm a single mother of a 12 yo boy. Generally, my weight has been at a good place. Except after I had my son. I lost all that weight but then, as I approached 40, the weight crept back on...as I exercised less. I'm now on a mission to lose those pounds and just be healthier all around.

Hi Kids (I call everyone kids)
I'm Drie. I'm 29 and I need a bit of extra motivation lately. From july through January I lost 30 pounds, but I've had some recent setbacks and gained 9 pounds back. I have hypothyroidism that is being monitored and treated, but it zaps me of all energy sometimes.
I am 6'1". I currently am at 299 (scary, I started this at 323 in July) and my ultimate goal weight would be to get down to 180.

Hi, I'm Chandra! I'm 38. I joined MFP in January, but didn't really start using it until the end of February. I've lost 15 pounds on MFP, and had already lost 20 prior to that. My goal is to be in a size 10 by the time our cruise leaves port in October. I have two very fun, very active boys and a husband that works hard for us!

StevenDial

Hi everyone, my name is Steven and I have an 8 month old baby girl I get to take care of full time. I lost 15 lbs using MFP starting January 1st but after getting sick I lost my momentum and gained every bit back. I swore I would never be over 200 lbs again and this morning when I stepped on the scale I was 199. It is time to do something about this so I can be a good example for my little girl, and keep up with my wife who is a group fitness instructor Feel free to add me as I think motivation can help us all!

It will be great to be 10 pounds ligher by July 8th. :drinker:

Bella1hud

Hello! My name is Isobel and I live in Kingston, Ontario Canada. I initially started MFP in Jan 2011 and lost 34 lbs, and was really looking forward to continuing my weight loss in 2012. After the holidays I was having a hard time staying motivated, and then my hubby got very sick with bacterial pneumonia and was in hospital for 2 weeks. Running back and forth to the hospital/eating junk food/ no exercise = weight gain. Grr. Then I got hubby home and recovering and I was hit with sciatica for a month. So I realllly got off track, but you know what? That was 3 1/2 months ago! It's time to get off my butt, literally!! and get real! July 8 is a great target date, it is just before my 60th birthday. Sarting weight is 216 lb. I would like to ultimately get to between 150 and 160. I am 5' 5".

Hey Everyone!

My name is Nikkee, I'm 42 years young :+). I have three children ages, 24, 17 and 9. I love to read, garden and walk. I joined loseit.com back in January of this year and lost 14 lbs thus far. But I was watching Youtube and thought I would check this out and I like the setup better. It reminds me of Facebook, more interaction with members. I currentyl weight 147, I was 160lbs..my goal is to reach 140 pounds, but I will be okay with 145..but I'm going to go for the 140. I fall out the wagon sometime, so I glad their is people here for support and inspiration. I look forward to the challange.. My motto is: ANYTHING I DID ONCE.. I CAN DO AGAIN!!! So...lets get back to our healthy sexy selfs.

fmbomzo

I'm Felecia. I'm 41 years old and will be 42 in approximately 6 weeks, so this is the perfect challenge for me. I've lost 13 lbs since January and I'd like to lose another 40 total to get to my goal weight. But I want to do this the right way and make it a true lifestyle change so that history doesn't repeat itself.

I'm definitely up for the challenge.

Bernielopez

Hi I am Bernie, I turned 55 (yes over half a century old) April 9th. I think this is an awesome challenge. I want to get down to 130 pounds the right way. That is 20 more pounds to get to my goal but I think focusing on 10 pounds first will be more reasonable.
