I am so incredibly in!!!
I've been about 30+ pounds overweight for the majority of my highschool, junior high, and college years, and (as I am now a Junior in college) I am so, SO ready to change my life and the way I see myself! I don't like being insecure around new people or feeling like an oaf when shopping. I can't wait to reach this goal by Christmas and look back and be proud of myself for doing something truly difficult. Love all of your honesty and camaraderie! Totally an inspiration! Let's do this folks!

I am SO IN!!!! I have to do something about my weight before my doctor has the sit down with me about diabetes medication. I need to cut the crap and stop eating whatever I feel like. Time to grow up and have a little self discipline and show this body some respect.
I eat primal; meaning lots of protein, fruits and veggies. Mostly live on organic and raw food. I have recently cut out gluten and I feel fantastic!!! That being said, time to get serious about weight loss
Starting weight: 231lbs 8/24/12
Goal weight: 199 Lbs 12/25/12
32 lbs to go, baby!!!!!!0 -
Hey all,
I'm in because I want to be me again. I was a firefighter/EMT for 7 years and was in the best shape of my life and did a lot of running and was very active when my son was diagnosed with stage 4 liver and lung cancer. 12 rounds of chemo and 2 liver transplants he is here and my miracle, but I've let me go by the wayside.
So, here I am and I want to be the best mom I can be for all three of my kids but I want to find me. The fun, energetic, sexy, happy Amber got lost...and I want to see her again!!0 -

I'm mucho IN for many reasons but I'll just name the one for Christmas (well, more like New Year's for me). I have, since I can remember been chunky, these past years I have been very careless with myself and gained even more weight. Way before joining MFP, I used to hit the gym 5 times a week, but it was only to work stress out, eating habits were horrible but I stopped the gym due to many things that I say sound like excuses now. Two weeks before joining this place I actually started drinking some shakes for breakfast and lunch and ate cereal for dinner not to lose weight, just because I wanted to start having 3 meals a day (not including yummy Puerto Rican food), I was 2 lbs away from being 300 lbs, after those 2 weeks I lost 7 lbs. I have a friend who mentioned this site and a week later...here I am.
Christmas time is a huge thing in my family, everyone always dresses up, they all look amazing and I, every year end up being the photographer just because I do not want to any photos of me taken. It's been a few years since the entire family has been together for Christmas and this year we are finally all getting together and I want to be able to wear a dress and know that I don't look like a house, AND it's the first year that I'll finally have someone (my fiancee) with me included in the family's Christmas celebrations. My ultimate goal is for my wedding next year, but Christmas is my practice runway! So IN!0 -
I'm in!! I'm a mother of two and I'm sick and tired of my children asking me to ride bikes, play soccer, etc. and not have the energy to do so. I'm also sick of looking in the mirror and wondering who that fat girl is looking back at me. About six months about I hit my biggest at 192lbs and stayed there. I hit bottom a couple weeks ago, and I just wanted to die. I didn't want to be here anymore, but I have so many people that love me, and I love my children so much I'd never harm myself. I knew then something had to give. Someone recommended this site to me, and I joined the very same day and took off with it. I'd love to drop 30lbs by Christmas, and with your help I know I can!!! Thank you all!!0

I am in and I wast to lose weight for my health, for my husband to have a trophy wife 9although he has always loved my body) and I want to be even sexier0

I'm Definitely In!....I spent all of my 20s at a perfect shape and weight (never having to watch what I ate and No exercise) When I turned 30 my metabolism said "I just don't wanna work anymore." And the pounds came FLOODING on! I worked with a trainer last year and he helped me with different excersise plans and nutritional techniques. I lost 21 lbs and was feeling Great. But I wasn't as focused as I should have been. Well, the cost of training wasn't an option any longer and I completely fell off the wagon after that. In one year I've gained 40 lbs. I am so miserable in my body but I'm Finally VERY motivated in my Mind. I'm So Motivated!! I find myself logging on to MFP more that FaceBook. Love how I am feeling right now....Very motivated!0

Hey all...
I'm in this for a couple reasons.
I want to be physically fit and I stared into the mirror and I do not like what I am. I am not speaking merely physically. My journey to fitness carries me across avenues of pain and frustration and gives my mind a workout, too. Depression cannot fit inside me when my muclses take up any excess space. 0 -
emmaonamission, me too! 30 lbs to my goal...what a great Christmas present!!
Awesome! Let's kick some butt 0 -
Welcome aboard everyone! I look forward to seeing all of you reaching for your goals! Your successes motivate me. Thank you Mark for forming this group. Now get to sweating!0

I'm in cause I am sick and tired of making excuses. After pileing on 6 stones in under a year it has to finally go. Work, family, stress and always putting myself last and always giving into other people saying 'go on haveva bit, it won't hurt'. Enough is enough.
I want to loose 30 lbs so I can fit into my jeans, be healthy, happy and back to my normal self after so many years of being overweight.0
