    Hello..I'm in! Id love to lose 20 pounds by then. I would be at the weight Id want to lose total if I did it by then!

    I am 25 and live in Providence, Rhode Island.

    My starting weight was 160 and my current weight is 151. My goal is 125....so slowly getting there :)

    I was thinking that too I've never seen it written St Patty's day before in my puff, it's St Patricks day or Paddy's day for a Belfast girl like me! 20lbs is too much of a loss for me but I am aiming for 14lbs by then, good luck ladies and gents!

    I'm down! I'm 20, and 165lbs at 5'2", so I would be down to 145lbs by then. Sounds great to me!

    Hi, I'm 21 and I'm in! My pants have gotten a little tighter this holiday season, so this challenge is a good incentive to get into shape!

    This is an awesome idea!! I LOVE that goal- something to really look forward to! I'm 27, 5'2", and weigh 163.6. I agree with everyone else, it would be awesome to be down to 143 for St. Patty's Day. I live in Texas as well, but for me it's freezing down here! It actually is literally freezing most mornings and late evenings now, so there ya go. Look forward to it!
  • I would LOVE some good support and motivation! I'm 24 and live in MN. Been stuck around 210lbs for awhile now. I would love nothing more than to get UNDER 200lbs!!!!
  • Wow that's cool. We are the same I'm at the same weight and have the same weight goals also living in NY. It would be really awesome for me to lose another 20 pounds by st. Pattys day because that ps when I will be on spring break for my school.
  • Hello! I am Jess, 24, 5'1" and looking to lose about 16-19 pounds.

    Started last week and continuing strong!! Would love to have more friends on here for support and would love to help encourage others on the way to their goal too!!

    Be Strong :)

    Hey y'all!! I'm Rea, 21 and my ultimate goal weight would be 145 but I'll settle for 155 by March 17th as it will be under my max weight for my height (I'm in the Navy at 64.5in) - let's get started!!

    **Edit** I will welcome any new friends I make as long as they keep me accountable.

    20 lbs, 10 weeks, 2 lbs a week, ambiitious, yet doable. What is your game plan?
    Your Food choices, water, cleanses, exercise routine?

    I would also like to lose 20 lbs ... I am 55 and I would love to do this in 10 weeks,. I am focused on 1200 calories a day with as much as liquids as possible, though little dairy and avoiding all yeast., 64 ozs of water, plus herbal cleanses and vitamin supplements suggested by Chiropractor.

    Here we go.....

    I would love to attempt this challenge, even though it will prove difficult during university/exams! I'm 20, and about 5ft 9, CW 208 GW 185 UGW 175. My intial goal was to lose 15lbs by my birthday (March 24th), but I'm up for a challenge, even if I "fail" it's still a win for me :)

    Would love to join you all!
    I'm 28 from Australia so had to find an online conversion to work out the poundage!
    Height: 5'8''
    Current Weight: 183
    End of Challenge: 163

    So how are we going to all do this?
    Today's current task is drinking enough water - quite easy considering the heatwave conditions we are having 'down under' at the moment...
  • I'm in!!! :-D I am 23 live in Texas - mommy of two little girls (1 & 2yrs old) and I desperately need to loose 20 lbs! That would put me at 132 (GW 130 - UGW 125) I really need the motivation & support! Also, my Bestie is getting married in June & I'm a bridesmaid. Very nervous about being in a dress in front of 300 people when I'm the largest one in the wedding party. Ahh!

    Feel free to add me!
