Hey everyone! I am Kara and I am excited to do this challenge with everybody!
I've been on MFP since March 25th of this year and with the help of MFP and regular exercise, I am almost to the 40 pound mark!
I would love to have some new friends on here! I am very open with my logging and I log everyday. I do not miss a day for any reason. I am looking for more like minded people that are dedicated to their lifestyle change and that log every day.
If anyone wants to send me a friends request, just put in the message that you are from here and I will accept you!
I look forward to getting to know everyone the next few months!

Hi Kara!
I'm looking forward to meeting new people as well! This is my first time joining a group and am hoping this is just what I need to give me the extra boost I need for support and to get through the holidays. 0 -
Hey! I'm Erika! I joined MFP back in May, and had previous lost around 10lbs. I have fallen off the wagon for the past few weeks, and I think this is an excellent opportunity to get back on! I am a shift worker at a hospital, so my eating schedule can get a little complicated. I have figured out so far, that little healthy snacks throughout the night are my best bet!
This is the first challenge group that I have joined on this website, and I am really looking forward to it, and hopefully meeting some friends with the same goal. Feel free to add me (just mention this group!)
Cheers!

Hello
I joined MFP back in 2010 and lost about 55 pounds, taking myself down to 202.8 pounds. Lost it during the holidays and gained almost all of it back. Started logging again in May of this year and have so far lost 30 pounds. I'm 5'7'' and 228 lbs. Overall goal weight - 165. Feel free to add me for support and motivation

Hello all

Hi, I'm Natalie.
Last winter I got down to my ultimate goal weight (50 lbs lost), but have since gained about 15 lbs back. I would like to get back down to that weight as I know it is attainable.
Looking forward to supporting and encouraging everyone here. Good luck!0 -
I'm Leina. Currently, I weigh 204. My goal at the end of the challenge is 185. I lost 30 pounds already, so I know I can do it!
I've done pretty well exercise-wise, so exercise isn't the issue. I have an issue with snacking! I do a lot of stress-eating and after nine eating, which I need help with in order to stop.
Plus, since I'm still living at home for the time-being, I have to eat what's there given how crappy my paychecks are, and what my family buys is not exactly "healthy." My dad is big on snackies and fast food, so I have to battle a lot to not go overboard with poor eating. I've learned portion control overall, but again, late night, mindless snacking is my downfall. 
I think once I can defeat those urges, I will be A-okay!
I wish everyone luck, and I look forward to interacting with you over the next few months!0 -

Hi All... I'm Tess, from Tennessee, US.
I started mfp in July, but didn't start logging and utilizing this wonderful site until 8/6 - I don't miss a day! When I began my weightloss challenge I weighed 165 lbs, as of this Monday I was at around 153 lbs and my goal by Christmas is 135lbs, my ultimate goal is 125 lbs by April 2013 - and I'm taking a cruise with my best friend! I want to love myself again, and especially want to feel good about being IN a picture again, not just taking them. I have 4 kids (16,20,20,21) and a 4 year old granddaughter. My husband is very supportive... but I am doing this for ME!
I look forward to getting to know everyone!! Please feel free to add me as a fried, the more the merrier!
Happy Exercise/Dieting!

Good morning!
My name is Laura, and I have just discovered the wonderfulness that is the MFP community. I started in May using this tool, but it wasn't until last week that I started to explore. I have never joined anything like this, but already in the past 10 days, I have felt an overwhelming support, which has been wonderful. I married a chef in January, and fall-Christmas is the hardest time of year. I think this challenge is EXACTLY what I need, and I am excited to be part of this.
Add me if you want another friend, I figure, the more, the merrier!0 -
Hi Everyone, I'm Trish. I just got back from falling off the Wagon and I'm hoping this is the nudge I need to hang on tighter and stay on!! I'm so ready for this and I hope to help others along the way. I'm reaching for a loss of 25 pounds by end of the year, and I don't think it's an impossible goal for me. Best of luck to us all, and feel free to add me to your friends, the more support the merrier! 0

Sherri, 42 yr old in Wisconsin. I'm looking to hit Onderland by the end of the year. 199 in my goal.
Glad to be a part of this group and looking forward to the upcoming challenges.0 -
Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, I'm a 23 year old mama to one beautiful baby girl. I joined MFP in Feb. 2012 when my daughter was a month old. I didn't really start using it as much as I should until recently, but so far I have lost almost 40 lbs! I have been logging every day since I started back up with this site. I love it! I can't wait to meet some new people on here and get back into shape together! I am hoping to be at my goal weight by the end of the year, which is 140 lbs., so I have about 20 lbs. to go!0

Hey all! I am so excited to find this group. It may be just what I need to keep on track. I just found out that a family wedding, which I thought was going to be next year, will be 3 days before Christmas THIS year!! No, I'm not in the wedding, but just want to feel better about myself.
I am a full-time work from home mom of 2 boys ages 14 and 26 and married for 27 years. My biggest problem is finding time just for myself and making myself a priority. I find that by having a "challenge" to answer to periodically helps to motivate me, so that's a big reason why I joined the group.
Hope we all can make some progress in the next 4 months.

Hi Kara! I'm looking forward to meeting new people as well! This is my first time joining a group and am hoping this is just what I need to give me the extra boost I need for support and to get through the holidays.
Hi Kara I am in the same boat - this is my first week on MFP and my first group. I have lost weight before but never kept it off and i'm hoping the MFP will help me change my lifestyle so that i can stay at a healthy weight0 -
HI all!!! My name is Hilary and I'm from MA. I've had some success with other programs before (like 40-50 pound success) and then some major life event would happen and I'd lose all motivation. Well, I have another one of those major life events looming - moving in with my fiance the beginning of October- and I'm determined to NOT lose my motivation again. So I'm hoping being part of a challenge that starts prior to the move and beyond will help keep my motivation going.
I was going to try to lose about 1.5 pounds a week. That's what I was originally thinking, but then realized that got me really close to finally being out of the Obese category. So I've adjusted my goal. My goal for this challenge is to get out of the Obese category. To accomplish that, I need to be 191.4 or under (Obese starts at 191.6 for my height). Last Thursday's weigh in, I was 221 on the dot. So we'll see how this translates come Saturday.
Always looking for new, motivating, friends, so feel free to add me as a friend, just please include a note that you are from the Sept-Dec Challenge so I know who you are!0 -
Hi! My name is Emily, and I am super stoked for this challenge. I joined Mfp last year but never used it, just started to log recently when I realized the food database was 100 times better then my fit bit food database. Add me if you'd like! I'd love to see others food entries, and see what is working for them, and make changes to my diet. I need ençouragement to stay on top of my goal and would love to be able to hopefully encourage others to their goals. Good Luck everybody!0

Hi,
Im Renee. Very excited for this new challenge. I have quite a bit of weight to lose. Over 100 lbs. I know I have to take my weight in smaller steps to get to my goal of it can be discouraging. Felt this group is a great way of starting that. Everyone seems so excited and supportive already and its not even Sept 1 yet. I am sooo happy to be here 0 -
Hi all! My name's Diane.. I have 70 lbs to lose. I have been on MFP since July. I need a challenge. I am having thyroid issues and am struggling, not to mention a desk job that is very frustrating. I'm a mother of 2 boys, a 26 yo who is newly married and a 23 yo who just moved back home while he is applying to Grad school.. I have a gym membership that until recently I barely used. My husband gave me the ultimatum to use or lose it... I have been going in the morning 4-6 days a week, I'm loving it... Well here's to the next 3 month! Good luck to all0

Hello everyone, I'm Troy and have been using MFP for 3 weeks. I've already trimmed off 18.8 lbs in that time and have hit my first mini goal, I will never again weigh over 400 pounds, EVER! My ultimate goal is to get under 300 pounds and stay there. I am hoping to lose anywhere from 35-50 pounds during this challenge. I'm very motivated in my own personal challenge and having a group challenge like this just adds fuel to my fire. I hope to lose lots of extra "me" with you folks. Good luck to you all.0

Hi! My name is Patricia. I am a 34 year old, stay-at-home mother of 3 boys (9,7,3). I currently weigh 295lbs. My overall goal is around 150, and my goal for this challenge is 270. I think 25lbs is doable for me, especially with my little one starting junior kindergarten this year. He will be in school every other day, therefore freeing up some of my time for me. As with everyone else, life can be a challenge...we just need to figure a way out so we come out on top, instead of buried under it all.
Good luck, everyone!!0 -
Hi, I'm Rebecca, looking to lose 15 lbs by the end of the year. First group I've joined and after major surgery at the end of May, am back to using MFP and logging food. Hoping to get back to the old me by the end of this challenge!0

Hi, everyone! I'm Brittany, and I've been using MFP off and on for a few months now. I've been back for a week or two, and am ready to fully dedicate myself to making this lifestyle change for good. I log everything I eat and drink daily, and have made my food diary public for extra accountability.
My weigh in is tomorrow, but my last known weight was 202lbs. My goal is to lose at least 25lbs by the end of the year. I'm down 13lbs already, so losing the additional 25 will bring me more than half way to my goal weight.
I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred (on day 6) and love to use my Wii Fit. I'm also an avid walker and hoping to try running with my husband sometime soon.
I'm looking forward to this challenge, and getting to know some of you better!0 -
Hi Everyone!!
I am so excited about this challenge and getting to know you guys! My name is Samantha (Marie is my middle name 
and I have been on MFP Since January 1 of this year. I'm down 50 pounds as of yesterday, and am trying to make a real push to get down 20 more before the end of the year.
I do my very best to log everything I eat every day, and I love walking for exercise. I would love to get to know you all better, so feel free to send me a friend request! I love the interactions, inspiration and motivation I get daily from this site!
Good Luck to everyone! We can do this together! 0 -
Hi everyone, my name is Rhonda and I live in Perth Western Australia. I would like to lose around 15 kilos in the challenge which I am really looking forward to as I need motivation. I have been a member since January and haven't lost a gram! I need to lose 30 kilos altogether. So here is wishing us all the best of luck!0

Hi! My names Kristen, I originally signed up for MFP back in 2009 but never had any interaction on it, this month I've started again and I'm back and ready to take full advantage! I have not lost any weight as of yet, but during this challenge I hope to accomplish losing 15lbs... I've never really given weight loss my "all" and this challenge will hopefully put a fire under my butt. I've been trying to log every day since the beginning of August and although I'm not perfect I've stayed pretty consistent. My diary is opened to friends and I'm trying my hardest to keep up! Feel free to add me I try to be positive and give supportive feedback. 0
