    About yourself: I've struggled with weight most of my life, and have been committed to losing it now! I was on MFP almost two years and lost 20 pounds doing this - tracking and exercising - and then I stopped and went back to old habits and old clothes :-P. Now I'm back and determined to make this stick!

    About yourself: My name is Ashley and I am a 23 year old bisexual female with multiple tattoos and multiple piercings, and my story really isn't pretty. I've been battling depression and negative body image since I was 16 years old, I was born with a physical disability, Klippel Feil Syndrome, it isn't as bad as is could have been and I am grateful that it is just a mild form of the condition but it got to the point where I was harming myself everyday [ cutting, drinking, drugs ], I lost my older brother on February 11th, 2007 when I was 18 and then six months later, I lost my older sister on August 20th, 2007 to suicide, and mixed with; a few bad relationship, drinking and drug problems, it really just snowballed until I hit rock - bottom on September 19th, 2011, I tried to take my life with a bottle of sleeping pills and a bottle of Jack Daniels, that really was a wake up call that things needed to change and they needed to change now. I've been seeing at a therapist weekly / bi - weekly [ even less now that I am doing so much better ] since I was released from the hospital [ I was in the ICU for two days then I was taken up to the mental institution floor for a week until I was well enough that I could get out and wouldn't attempt suicide again ], which has helped so much, I've been able to work through things that were just causing me so much pain. I feel like I have gotten mentally fit and now, I want to be physically fit as well. I want to feel better about myself so I've decided that it will take a lot of hard work and sacrificing some of the things I really enjoy but that I am a strong enough that I can do it. I have a second chance at life and I am going to do everything in my power to enjoy every minute of it!

    GW: 160, but 158 would be ideal.

    I am married with 2 kids. I have always struggled with staying in the healthy weight range and that is where I would love to be. I tend to want to see results fast, but that never really work in the long run. Slow and steady will get me there. By taking these challenges once per week,, is a great way to achieve my goal.

    I am a stay at home mother and I also homeschool. We have 5 children. We moved to South Carolina from Ohio about 1.5 years ago. 1 year ago yesterday I quit smoking and over the last year I have gained 40 lbs. I need motivation and encouragement. My self esteem is gone and I feel depressed alot (even though my husband still tells me I am sexy all the time). I know my husband tries to be loving, but sometimes I need someone to just shake me and tell me I need to lose weight!! Glad to join the group and I look forward to all of the support and motivation!

    I am a single college student working on my Masters. I have no children and I work in social services. I started gaining weight when I got on birth control back in 2008. Since then my weight has flip-flopped constantly. This is the biggest I have ever been and definitely do not want to get any bigger. I just restarted my diet and exercise on Sunday night. I began my challenge by doing THE CLEANER 7 Day Women Body Detox, drinking 8+ cups of water per day , working out twice a day(basic cal esthetics in the morning and Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 in the evenings), and calorie counting using MFP. I hope to be down 50 pounds by May of 2013, when I have my second degree!

    About yourself:
    I am a University student just trying to get the most out of life. I finally got tired of being the "chunky" girl and I didnt want to be limited in the things I could do. I have always disdained at the fact that in public transportation, I'm usually uncomfortable because of my size, airplanes being one of the worst. And I also want to prove to myself that I can and deserve to be healthy. (: Plus, I would like to pick out my clothes... not just wear what fits okay on me

    ~Feel free to add me. Always looking for motivation (:

    About yourself: Hi ladies! I go by ToyToy and I started dieting and exercising back in March and lost 19 lbs in 5 months (which was 158lbs in Aug.). Yes, I was a bit overweight at 177 and I could have just died when I stepped on my scale, lol. Well, since Fall hit I've found myself slacking so re-started my dieting and have been tracking what I eat here on MFP. The exercising part..well lets say I have a treadmill at home and a gym membership and all I have been doing is thinking about both instead of getting off of my butt and work out. Today I ran across this challenge which I think is great so I am game.
