Sold.

I'm Sara - 5'8, previously a runner and swimmer, and I have let my bad habits from college transfer into my "adult" life, and apparently I cannot eat fast food twice a day and drink a ton of craft beer whenever I please anymore.

SW: 151 lbs
GW: 133 lbs
Complete my 5K beginners' training program; running 3 miles in one setting.
Increase my upper body strength.
Have attended at least ten yoga sessions.

Game on!

I had already thought about setting this goal for myself. Great to see that I can now have support and maybe some accountability by joining this challenge!

I'm Raquel. I did Weight Watchers in 2006 and went from 183(HW) to 141(LW). I maintained that weight for 4 years, and then during my struggle to get pregnant the weight crept up to 160. After getting pregnant, and gaining 30lbs, I lost 20 of that. I have been struggling to lose weight. I was going to start WW again, but decided to try to save money, and see if I could find the motivation and accountability here.

So for my stats:
5'7''
SW: 170
Challenge GW: 155
UGW: 135

Goal is to lose 15lbs by Dec 15th, by eating cleaner, and stay under or at my calorie goal each day. Working out at least 3 times a week.

clare5289 · September 2012

Been on MFP for a year or so but never bothered with the forums. Maybe the push/support from others will help me stay motivated! I'm currently at my highest weight ever and my confidence has definitely taken a hit.

I'm a measly 4'11! And 23 years old
CW 135
GW 115

Some other goals: eat within calorie limits 6 days of the week, log every day, exercise 4 days a week and might try to stick with C25K (though I've tried before and had such terrible shin splints I couldn't keep going).

Have stalled in my weight loss & keep losing & gaining the same 4 lbs. Want to lose anything over 4 pounds at this point, & keep going from there. Doing great with my exercise, need to clean up my eating.
