Hiya! My name's Hailey, I'm trying to get to 150.

Hey everyone! I have been doing this for almost two months. My goal is to be down around 50 pounds by the start of next year. That is my goal weight and it would be amazing to start the year at my goal.

I'm Anne. FGW is 115. Currently at 131.2. I would be happy with 1/2 lb loss / week and tone up my mid and hips.

Hi all,
I'm Marissa,
My goal is to lose 25 pounds and keep them off. I would love to fit back into my single-digit jeans too. What I really need is a way to stay consistent. I usually make some progress and then reward myself with a cheat and it slowly snowballs from there.

Hi! I'm Kerri, and just joined today. I've got 3 kids and need to lose about 60 pounds. This looks like a great group to join, because I bet it will take about 5 months for myself and those around me to notice any kind of change! Ha!

I'm not looking for motivation - I've got plenty of that already, but some occasional encouragement would be nice. Really, I just don't want to try to go this alone again, like I've tried to do before, and I think being part of an active group would give me a bit of accountability. There's just no reason for me to weigh this much anymore.

My only thing right now is that I do not plan on tracking my food - just my exercise. The more I focus on food (i.e. tracking), the hungrier I feel! I am eating less already and plan to keep that up, but tracking food just doesn't fit in with my goals right now. That might change in the future, but I need to be as un-focused on food as possible.

Glad to meet you all! And good luck to everyone!

Hi just saw this group and seems like a good one to join. I joined mfp 3 weeks ago and have lost 10 lbs by healthy eating and exercising. I would love to lose the excess weight I am lugging around with me before 2013. I will give it my all and would love to support be supported motivate be motivated by a good group of like-minded people. Oh and my name is Janette.

Hello. With the encouragement of a friend who's lost 165 lbs within the last 20 months, I started tracking my food/exercise on MFP about 1 month ago. I have a lot to lose (about 100 lbs) but want to give it another try. I have trouble sticking to programs (WW/Atkins/JennyC) & trouble in general just sticking to eating healthy and exercising. My weaknesses in the past have been salty snacks and the ease of drive-thru food. But I want to be done with this once and for all so here I am. I don't want to make the same resolution in 2013 - I want to make a new one - not sure what it is yet but I don't want it to be a resolution to lose weight - all the weight may not be gone by then but maybe instead my resolution could be to CONTINUE eating healthy and exercising consistently instead of starting over again.

Hi all, my name is Mary and I've been away from MFP for a long while. I've been logging this week and feel I need more support than I've taken in the past. My New Year's goal is to be on track and down from where I am now. I have five children, ages 6-16, and a wonderful husband (19 years of marriage.) I teach 7th/8th grade science, and I'm always giving to everyone. Now I want to give to myself!

Thanks for starting this group!

Hi Everyone!
Great concept for a group! I will be 39 at the end of January so I would like to be 139 for my birthday. Right now I'm 170ish . Or if I really want to dream big I could say I want to lose 39lb by my 39th birthday and that would put me at 131ish!! either way I believe this group can help me reach that goal.

Also please feel free to friend request me if you are like me and like to interact on your home page with friends.

Good Luck everyone!!!!!!

Hi everybody. My name is Mary. My goal on January 1, 2012 was to lose 80 pounds this year and get into single-digit sizes. I have lost 52 pounds and am currently a size 10/12, so I'm getting close. Just need those last 30ish pounds.

SW: 285
CW: 222
GW: (by the end of the year): 170

Final GW: 150

Best of luck to all!
