Hi! My name is Emily, and I am super stoked for this challenge. I joined Mfp last year but never used it, just started to log recently when I realized the food database was 100 times better then my fit bit food database. Add me if you'd like! I'd love to see others food entries, and see what is working for them, and make changes to my diet. I need ençouragement to stay on top of my goal and would love to be able to hopefully encourage others to their goals. Good Luck everybody!

Hi all! My name's Diane.. I have 70 lbs to lose. I have been on MFP since July. I need a challenge. I am having thyroid issues and am struggling, not to mention a desk job that is very frustrating. I'm a mother of 2 boys, a 26 yo who is newly married and a 23 yo who just moved back home while he is applying to Grad school.. I have a gym membership that until recently I barely used. My husband gave me the ultimatum to use or lose it... I have been going in the morning 4-6 days a week, I'm loving it... Well here's to the next 3 month! Good luck to all

Hi! My name is Patricia. I am a 34 year old, stay-at-home mother of 3 boys (9,7,3). I currently weigh 295lbs. My overall goal is around 150, and my goal for this challenge is 270. I think 25lbs is doable for me, especially with my little one starting junior kindergarten this year. He will be in school every other day, therefore freeing up some of my time for me. As with everyone else, life can be a challenge...we just need to figure a way out so we come out on top, instead of buried under it all.

Good luck, everyone!!

Hi, everyone! I'm Brittany, and I've been using MFP off and on for a few months now. I've been back for a week or two, and am ready to fully dedicate myself to making this lifestyle change for good. I log everything I eat and drink daily, and have made my food diary public for extra accountability.

My weigh in is tomorrow, but my last known weight was 202lbs. My goal is to lose at least 25lbs by the end of the year. I'm down 13lbs already, so losing the additional 25 will bring me more than half way to my goal weight.

I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred (on day 6) and love to use my Wii Fit. I'm also an avid walker and hoping to try running with my husband sometime soon.

I'm looking forward to this challenge, and getting to know some of you better!

Hi everyone, my name is Rhonda and I live in Perth Western Australia. I would like to lose around 15 kilos in the challenge which I am really looking forward to as I need motivation. I have been a member since January and haven't lost a gram! I need to lose 30 kilos altogether. So here is wishing us all the best of luck!

Hi everyone!

My name is Chrissie and I'm really excited to do this 3 month challenge! I joined MFP 31 days ago and hit my 10 lb weight loss goal today. I'm planning to lose another 35 lbs, and hope this challenge will get me that much closer to my goal. Once I hit my goal, I'm going to assess where I am, and possibly try to lose an additional 5-10 lbs. I am currently on doctor's orders not to do any strenuous exercise, but am hoping to get the green light to increase my workouts starting in October.

I welcome any new friends who are committed to logging in daily, striving to eat healthier, and motivated to do their best!

Good luck to you all!!

Hello, just joined this month and would love to be apart of this challenge. Thanks for the invite and the work put in to set it up. Excited to get started.

Hi Everyone! My name is Ricci and I am 30 years old, wife of 9 years, mom of a busy 2-year old, and also work from home/stay at home mom. I have been so unhealthy for years and I am determined (and very motivated) to turn my life around.

I am loving MFP. I started an account last year, but sadly did not start using it until end of June. Wish I would have been motivated last year, as I completely love it.

Ditto the many friend requests as I am a good motivator and would also love encouragement.

I am so very excited about this group - this is exactly what I need. For the past 5 years we have gone to work at an orphanage in Jamaica in January. Every year I tell myself that I am going to get fit before I go so I can enjoy myself and not be thinking about my body and so scared that the others are taking photos that I will be in. We are going again in January and I truly want to make this happen. Thank you so much for starting this group and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!!.....LINDA

Hello, everyone!
I'm Sandy. 50 years old--hitting menopause (makes losing weight a little more challenging:( ). I live in Northern Alabama.
I have been on MFP since early Jan. 2012 and have lost 24 lbs. so far. I am not looking at losing weight quickly. I am more of the slow and steady as she goes. As long as I keep moving in the right direction. I would like to be down to 170 by the end of the year.
Good luck to all and look forward to this challenge.
