    Hello!

    I'm Christy, (a vegetarian, hence vegmomma) and just turned 40 this year. I would like to lose @ 15 pounds. Maybe 20. I have 3 beautiful little girls, 6,8,10. Somehow over the past several months, I started exercising less and less and now it is almost nonexistent. Even my diet has been horrible. I feel like crap from not exercising and my now poor diet. Can't wait to get back to my old self and concentrate on putting exercise into a daily routine and watching what I eat.

    So excited to be part of this challenge!!

    Hi all!:drinker: My name is Joyce and I am 54. I joined MFP around June. I have about 40 pounds to lose, but I have managed to lose about 15 pounds over the past year and a half. A little frustrated that it has taken this long, but i know I have to look at myself and my choices. I need to stop making excuses and just do it!

    This will be my first challenge group and I'm looking forward to making new friends and supporting each other!!

    Hi everyone,
    My name is Vanessa. I am the mother of an active 20 month old. After having my daughter I lost all the baby weight plus some with in three months but since I have gone back to work I've gained a lot of weight. This is the heaviest I have ever been at 197. I would love to get to 150 but right now my aim is at 170. Just so it won't seem like a lot at once.

    Hi, I'm Megan. I would like to lose about 15 lbs in the 50 Day Challenge - if it's more, even better. I currently weigh 214 lbs and would like to be 175 as a goal weight. After that, I would like to get to 165, but we shall see. I need to get healthy to help a recent diagnosis of PCOS...a healthy weight is the best thing for it. Looking forward to the challenge!

    Hey everyone, I'm Bridget, I live in New Zealand. I'm 32, Im a single Mum to an almost 3-year-old, and I work shift work as an EMT. I love my job, I find it hard to balance my life as I'm studying also. I work in kg's but I understand pounds, thanks to watching many series' of The Biggest Loser. I'm currently 87.4kg and would love to weigh 70kg, but I'm shooting for 75 and we'll see how we go when we get there. That's 27 pounds I'd like to lose. I need to have motivation, help, support, and accountability for this to work, cos I'm sick of disappointing just myself. I really want to be healthy to enjoy activity and life with my daughter, and be a good role model for her. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck to everyone :)

    Hello!
    My name is Melissa and I'm 24. I'm excited to lose any weight with this challenge, but my hopes are more geared toward improving my eating habits! I want to start eating and cooking healthier. I love being active and enjoy working out. Don't have a gym membership at the moment, but I like to make up my own circuits at home and am open to any other workout ideas. Looking forward to our 50 days!! :)

Probably need to drop down to a 33. But I have met some awesome people here and I'm looking toget down to 190 before I start weigjt training so I can be lean with good muscle mass

    Hi, I’m Di. I was looking for a group where I can get support and give support and where I can stay motivated.
    I read some posts & decided to try this group: happy:

    I joined GISFW (Get In Shape For Women) in April’2012 and learned much about nurtriton and goals and myself. I started MFP for logging food & exercise in May. I enjoy the rewards of meeting others who are on the journey to living a well life, and the support & knowedge MFP gives to one another.

    I sprained my ankle late Spring and it was an up & down recovery for me, but appear to be back on track all around. I relearned what patience and persistence means. Many thanks to my MFP peeps for helping me stay the course.

    Cheers to all for a healthy and happy 2013! :drinker:

    Hi! I'm Tammy. I'm 33, my goals are to lose a bit of fat, and gain some muscle. I've lost 11 pounds with MFP since last summer, I've been maintaining that over the last couple of months. I'd like to lose 5 more, plus gain some muscle over the next 50 days!

    I have lost 8 pds in 30 days, so my goal would be at least 14 pds.

    I need to start eating healthy again-after the holiday. And, get back
    to walking and treadmill at least 5 times a week for an hour. Also
    to do some abd exercises.

    I need to get this weight off! I'm so excited to have this chance to do this with other people.
    It will be nice to help each other. :smile:

    HI Everyone I joined this group yesterday and am ready for the challenge. I am Amanda, 57 years old am divorced and living in Florida with a platonic room mate. I am physically limited in what I can do for exercise as I am mostly wheelchair bound. Since this is a 50 day challenge (about 7 weeks) I will sent my goal for 15 pounds. I believe I should be able to get rid of at least 2 pounds a week. I will weigh in on Wednesday and post on that thread. Hope to get to know all of you especially those of you who are morbidly obese like myself.

    Hi All!

    I'm new to the group and this will be my first 50 Day Challenge. I'm excited and looking forward to it!

    I'm Pam, age 58 and live in Kentucky. I joined mfp on October 20, 2011 and weighed in at 290 pounds with a BMI of 51.4. As of today, I have lost 121 pounds and weigh 169 with a BMI of 29.9. Finally moved from the obese category to the overweight category. I am currently 24 pounds away from my original goal of 145. When I started seeing my nutritionist, she asked what my goal weight was and I really didnt know, so I said to cut my weight in half. When I reach that point, I may go for another 10 pounds as my nutritionist felt going lower than 135 would not be good for me. So on that part, we'll se

    I have some physical limitations, such as double knee replacements and bulging back discs. During my first knee replacement in 2005, my doctor accidently broke my leg while doing the knee replacement. It required additional surgeries and a log time in physical therapy. During that year I gained 50 pounds and it was downhill after that. The second knee replacement was in 2011 and went perfectly. Did you know that for every pound you lose, you remove 4 pounds of pressure off your knees?????? So far I've removed 484 pounds of pressure.

    I'll set my goal for 15 pounds even tho the weight loss has slowed down quite a bit these last few months.

    I'll be starting tomorrow, January 1st, Wednesday in the US and Wednesday will be my weigh in day or is there a set schedule for weighing in that i havent seen yet?
