Hey all :)
Last year I started school around 225lbs.
This year I'd like to be somewhere around 155lbs.
A lot has changed since last year :) I'm not the couch potato I used to be!
I work out 4-6 days a week, am currently doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and am looking into starting C25K.
I'm on MFP every day logging my food and browsing the forums :)
Best of luck to us all!

    Congratulations on your weight loss so far :) You will definitely reach your goal!
    It's slow going in the beginning but it gets easier as time goes on. :)

    This is my first week on MFP and I have been eating (and drinking!) too much this summer with all of the time off work. I am currently about 147 and I would like to get to 135. Since I am close to goal (I'm 5'5), it might take me a while.

    I'm Eleanor, I'm 6"5' and 19 years old. I was a chubby child who became a chubby teenager so let's see if I can become a slim adult when I hit 20 in December. I was 165 lbs, am now 158 and have hit a plateau so hopefully this group will help me start losing again. My first goal is 154, and I would ultimately like to be 140. I know I've got a smaller challenge than some people but I'm just as keen and with any luck once the weight's off it'll stay off. Good luck everyone :)

    Hi, Im heading back to school on September 2nd and would love to have lost AT LEAST 10lbs, last year was a bit if a roller coaster with my weight and emotions. So im ready for a new start and a new healthy body to go along with it. So far im 7 days in to the Jillan Michaels 30 Day Shred, I have lost 2 pounds and already seeing amazing results. If anyone else is doing it i would love to share stories and keep each other motivated to work out and eat healthy, I could really use the support and have plenty to offer.
    Hope you are all having an amazing summer so far :)

    Hi my name is Carrie and I'm about to start my senior year! My goal this summer is to lose twenty pounds, I was on track but life happens. Anyway I just hit the 10 pound mark today so hopefully, with help from all of you, we can lose the last 10! After those first 20 pounds I still have a long way to go, but small goals make it easier to manage. Let's do it!

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Kitty and I start school on the 27th, however I would like to lose 10 pounds by the 15th. I have a few fashion shows in mid August that I would like to look the part for. My goals are to get to 128-130 by the end of this week and hopefully be around 123-125 by next week. While my weekly weight loss goals may seem drastic, most of the weight I do have is water weight. I am a Vegan but Pescatarian one day a week (mainly salmon for the omega 3's and extra protein). My diet goals for this challenge are to be low sodium, sugar free, and to not eat after 7. My activity goals are to walk for 3 hours, to be in bed by 8 or 9 and wake up at 6 so I can tune my circadian rhythm for school. Good luck ladies!

    Wow! This is the FIRST forum I have read on this site! Very inspiring! Good luck to all of you and CONGRATULATIONS!

    And, my name is Kimberly. I am a fourth grade teacher and have lost 11 pounds since March. I had to adapt to a Gluten Free lifestyle last summer and ended up GAINING about 15 pounds. Proudly, I have lost almost all of that, but I still need to get rid of about 15 to 20 more. 10 before school would be awesome, though! :happy: I look forward to motivating each of you and to taking on this challenge together! We are who we want to be and we do what we want to achieve!
