I'm Jennifer! I'm 24 years old not married and no kids! Would like to have both one day. I'm a dispatcher at the police department in my town. I have a goal of losing the extra weight I have and tone up so I can pass the pt test and academy to become a police officer! Ive struggled with losing weight for a long time and a part of it is bad diet, family who doesn't care about what they eat and a health issue that has contributed to it as well. I'm excited to have people who are going through the same thing I am and are backing me! I have been motivated more since I found mama laughlin and they started the groups on Facebook and on MFP!

Hey Everyone! I'm Lindsay, 26, with no kids or hubby. I just finished my second half-marathon and signed up for my first FULL marathon! Eek! I lost 40 pounds about 4 years ago, but slowly gained it back over the past four years. I know I need to lose some of the extra weight to be able to pull off a full marathon...and of course for all of the other health benefits! :-)

Hey, girls! I'm Becky....29....mother to two girls...Army wife....I've lost 35 lbs this last year....hoping for at least 7 more, maybe 17:) I'm hoping to go back to school soon (probably next spring)...I eat clean...more paleo actually....I love TurboFire and Spinning!

I'm Marcia... 30 years old, wife, mom of 4 munchkins, Im a teacher full time. I've been saying for years (since my twins were born 9 years ago) that I was going to lose the pregnancy weight (25-30 lbs). I'm finally going to do it! Eating has always been my downfall... so ready to be healthy again!

Hello, I'm Samantha, 30 years old married with no children of my own, but my younger sister and her children age 5 and almost 2 live with us and I take care of them in the evenings while my sister works. About 5 years ago I lost 65 pounds doing WW....after a few years and some life altering events..the weight has slowed creeped up back and even added 5 more pounds. Over the last several years I have tried doing WW multiple times, however it just didnt work for me like the first time and I eventually would be discouraged. I am pretty good at taking care of everyone else in my life and I have let myself down...I am making it my mission to starting taking better care of my self and I am excited to embark in this journey with some women that can relate to the daily struggles of life! Good luck to you all!!

I am Janice. I am 31, married, mother of two little girls - almost 3 years old and 6 months old. I am here to lose the weight for good. No more yo-yo. I want to show my girls that heredity has nothing to do with you and your weight. It all comes down to your relationship with yourself. If you want the best for yourself, you make it happen! With a cupcake or brownie every now and again. It's life ... live it!

I'm Kimberly! Im 29, married 8 years to my high school sweetie, with two sweet girls..7 & 18 months. A few months ago I had a routine physical & my doctor told me that my bad cholesterol is too high, my good cholesterol is too low, and I have high blood pressure that I am now on meds for. I'm too damn young to let myself be this way. She suggested I lose at least 25-30 lbs but she'd really like to see me lose 50. I weighed 152 this morning so I have quite a ways to go. I have to get healthy. Not just for me but for my girls. I don't want them to think that always being self-conscious and lacking confidence are okay. I have an example to make and I've done poorly at it so far. I'm ready for the change & I look forward to having the motivation & encouragement from everyone!
