    I'm in too. I have been a yo-yo weight loser for about 5 years now. At my heaviest I was 226, my lowest I was 133. When I get down to a good weight, I start thinking that if I eat a little more then it is ok. That is never a good thing. We are also going on vacation in early June, so this is perfect.

    There is also a fantastic app called Runtastic that you can link up to my fitness pal. I absolutely love it, it keeps track of my jogging and work outs. Also we will check in this Friday with our weight and goals, Thanks again for your interest, we are all going to look fantastic by summer!!

    Definitely joining! I went down south last year and didn't wear a bathing suit once while we were there! Gah! Definitely want to wear one this summer and not feel like everyone is staring at me.

    I know exactly how you feel, I went to the Crystal River in Missouri to go camping and rafting and I ended up wear this awful two piece grandma swimsuit with the skirt that was supposed to suck in the flabby bits of me and I ended up looking like an elephant trying to squeeze in a bathing suit. I had parts of me that looking something like cookie dough coming out between the top and bottom parts of the swimsuit. It was horrendous. I am NOT going to look that way this summer. I'm going to go to Colorado this year in June and I am going to look fantastic!

    I am only about 4'11 or 5'0 depending on what shoes I am wearing....lol. I weigh 165 pounds....and short girl like me is not supposed to weigh that much. Plus the weight is playing havoc on my skin, I am only 35 and got asked if I was my six year old's grandma. That was a wake up call!

    Can I join? I am a yo-yo as well. I did fantastic for our summer vacation 2 septembers ago. Got to a size 8 (160ish) had a blast, ate too much & never returned to MFP once we got home. I was doing really well there for a while, but then the pounds started coming back.
    I have another vacation in March. Not the summer, but my mid-way mark & would like to be back to 160 by then. Then can stick to it after vacation & get down to my goal of 135.

    Hi all, I’m in!!!!

    Started back on here properly last Wednesday (2nd Jan ’13) I have decided that 2013 is the year to get slimmer and tone up, first week has been fairly good – 5lbs off so far and not struggled at all with food or being on the 1200 cals.

    Starting weight was; 196lbs (14st)
    Goal weight by end of April; 176lbs (12st 8lbs)
    And by June; 168lbs (12st)

    I have joined the gym had my induction and this evening is my first class – Fat Attack (Sounds hardcore doesn’t it lol)

    Good luck to all of you x
  • Hi can I join my weight has been up and down since having my 3rd baby in 2010 but this time it is staying off.
