    I want to play too! Anyone else here in graduate school of some sort?
    I'm 25 and need a kick in the pants to actually lose more than a couple of pounds this time.

    CW: 150.6
    GW for St. Patrick's Day: 135
    UGW: 125

    I'm also doing the "Lose 5 Pounds in January" challenge and that has helped me. I'm doing alright with eating but I am really failing with the physical activity component. There, I admitted it - now I need to do something about it.

    Hey!
    Count me in too...I've been falling off the wagon quite a lot lately, but now that I've cornered my 'excuses', I hope to give it my all.

    :D

    Good luck to you all :)

    I want to know how you are affording such an awesome life? Living in Africa then traveling the country for a year? God must definitely be blessing you and your husband!

    I have only just seen this but going to try and give it a go in the (almost) 8wks left. I am 5'4" have a total of 54lbs to lose so the more I can lose by St. Paddy's the better :happy:

    This sounds like a great challenge! It's wonderful to see so many ladies in the same boat as me ... well, I don't mean "wonderful" exactly, that sounds bad ... but it's nice to not be alone.

    I'm down for taking a run at this. Currently, I weigh 167 lbs at 5'7, and my ultimate goal is 135. Eeeeee, it would be delightful to be 147 lbs. I haven't weighed under 150 since high school! (I'm 29 now ... just squeaking into the "20-something" category.)

    And if anyone is looking for motivational friends, please add me!

    Yay! I'm in, I'm 23, just married about 2 weeks ago (!!!), and my 24th birthday is March 15th, and I literally CANNOT think of a better birthday present than losing 20 pounds!!! I am in desperate need of some HAPPY, motivated MFP friends, I vent once in a while, but it seems like all I see is negative posts. I am doing great right now, and I want more friends who are doing great! LET'S DO THIS!!!

    I'm with you! I started 180.5, down to 175 after 2 weeks. I would LOVE to be down 20 more in 10 weeks. Don't know how to add, but you can add me!

    Hello All This is my First Post I Am 23 And I would LOVE to lose 20 pounds by St. Patty's day. I'm 5'2 ' and currently 136 so that would put me at 116! :) and being shorter any extra weight that i have really shows fast on me I have always started a diet and work out plan but never finish it. Maybe this is the motivation that I need

    I would love to be a part of this! I've been lacking in motivation because I'm always so busy.

    Age: 23

    Height: 5'1

    CW: 138
    GW: 118

    Let's do this!

    One suggestion I have to make this group more fun is to add exercise challenges or healthy eating habit challenges for the day. Tomorrow's challenge can be to spend at least 30 minutes doing some type of cardio!

    I love this idea! I'm 22 and weigh 189. My ultimate goal weight is 135 or 140. I just want to be happy with myself when I look in the mirror. If anyone needs a friend, or someone to talk to for support when they are having a rough day, feel free to friend me! I always need people to help me out as I go through this journey!
