    Hi Amanda and thanks for the invite :)
    My name is Kristen.
    I'm 26 years old.
    I'm 5'0"
    My highest weight was 206.
    My ultimate goal weight is 120.
    I was heavy up until my teen years where my lowest weight was 112. After my 3rd pregnancy I went into a depression and started drinking, not watching what I was eating, and just didnt care.
    My main reason for getting healthy is so that I can be here for my kids. I want to be able to keep up with them and also have more confidence in myself.
    I look forward to getting to know you and everyone else in this group. Good luck! :)

    Also : I will be re-starting TurboFire and I also have Slim in 6 :)

    Hi! Thanks for the invite, glad to be here!

    My name is Myra.
    I'm 19 years old.
    I'm 5'6".
    My highest recorded weight was 178.
    My current weight is 165 (I think--I need to buy a new scale because the one I own now works sporadically at best and I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks.)
    My ultimate goal weight is 125.
    I want to lose weight because I want to be confident in myself, body AND mind. :) I don't want to be fat during university, TBQH. So yeah, my main motivation is because I want to be thinner so I can be confident in how I look, but I also want to become more healthy (and I'm taking steps every day to eating healthier/cleaner) and fit (working on this, but with a foot injury from doing something really stupid which I'm choosing not to share with you guys, it's not the easiest thing in the world to exercise regularly.)

    Glad to be in this group. :) I like that we're aiming to be at our goals by June the first--that is long-term so it's much more sustainable than wanting to lose x amount of weight by, say, Christmas or something. Hello everyone! Looking forward to getting to know you!

    Hi all. I will make this short and sweet. I am a single mother of 4. I gained about 70 lbs. in the last 5 years and basically got comfortable with it. It was a combination of going through marital issues that aided in my feelings of worthlessness. I didn't really care to maintain my healthy lifestyle because I was so absorbed in my depression. I feel that I am a much happier and spiritually sound person now and I am desiring that my outside reflect my new inside. I am 41 years young, 5'2" 171lbs and would like to ultimately get to 120ish. The weight isn't really so much the goal as to how I look and feel. So that is my quick spiel for now. I hope to meet some awesome people that can keep me motivated and in return I will do the same. Thanks in advance...

    I'll be 42 next month

    I am 37.
    SW: 256
    GW: 185

    I am a mother of two (10 &8). I am doing this because I want to set an example for my daughter. I also want to get a breast reduction and anethesia wont touch me if I am obese. Anyway, I have done Atkins(boring), but it works, Weight watchers(too expensive), so here I am doing something that I can finally afford to do and maintain. Thanks for starting this group. I think that this is a goal that is realistic. Good Luck to all.

    Hi my name is Nikki
    33 years old
    5'10"
    Highest weight - 290
    Current weight - 286
    Goal weight - 175

    I have been on and off the diet bandwagon for many many years. I finally decided I needed to take control of my own life, and stop using the many excuses I had come up with. I recently had a physical, and after being scolded about my weight, blood pressure and being told I was bordering on diabetes, and needed thyroid medication....I finally decided to do something about it. I start a C25k program on Monday with the gym I go to, and I have joined the Self Diet Club for even more support.
    Good luck everyone, we can all do it if we keep at it. Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

    Hi I'm Rosie and am needing to get back on track. I have been on my fitness pal since last November and have encouraged a group of friends to join me and they have done so. But alas they have either lost interest or just couldn't be bothered recording their food. Only one friend has remained with me on my journey - and she has achieved her weight loss and is now keeping track so that she can maintain her weight. Me - I achieved a weight loss of 13 kgs up to March this year. During Winter I haven't been as good as I should have and my weight is waivering within 1kg - 1.5kg of my lowest recorded weight. So Im reasonably happy about that. Now I need to get motivated again - as I would like to lose a further 15kgs because my daughter is getting married mid March and I want to feel good about me. I may not achieve the 15kg but I am going to try and be happy along the way as I discard my bigger clothes for something less big.

    Hi Everyone! I am a 53 year old grandmother of 6. I would like to see them grow much older but my last checkup at the doctoer revealed that my trigycerides were 451. Not good. Started eating healthier immediately. I started at 230 and am at 218 now. I'm 5'6 so I would like to lose about 40 more. Excited about this group!

    Hi everybody my name is robin. I am 27 years old and I am a stay at home mom, of 2 a boy that is 7 and a girl that is 3. my highest weight was at 245 lbs. My height is 5'2. I would like to get back to my high school weight at 160. I have been a member since the end of November or the beginning of December and summer came along I lost track of time and what I was eating ,so pretty much I lost interest in the internet. Which sometimes is a good thing. I spent my summer playing with my kids and swimming a lot. Within the past month my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. And when I found out it seem like I stop eating again. And I start gaining weight again. So I'm on here again to get interested in losing weight and keeping track. I look forward to working with you all in reaching your goals. My goal is too reach the 100 mark again. Feel free to friend me. I have deleted most of my old friends for I have not spoke with them in over 3 or 4 months.
