    Hello! I'd love to be a part of this!
    Ultimate goal?
    Favorite snack?
    Favorite way to exersice?
    Favorite Holiday?

    My ultimate goal is to lose between 80-100 lbs...slow and steady.
    Snacks are my enemy...so I don't have any right now...well, any that are healthy!
    Elliptical mainly and also workout videos like Jillian Michaels and Turbo Jam.
    Halloween! So much fun taking my boys around the neighborhoods.

    Hi all! First off, I have a very sarcastic and dry sense of humor (which you will be able to tell below), but in all I really do want to like how I look... so mini goals might work to get me to my big one!

    Ultimate goal?: First goal is 150, goal after that is 130... so in all that would be 80 pounds if I reached 130!
    Favorite snack? Everything. I'm fat, I like food.
    Favorite way to exercise? I hate exercising. I love to dance, but I hate zumba. I love sports, but I hate to run. It's quite the conundrum.
    Honestly, the one thing I've always liked is spinning classes. Just can never find any that work with my schedule.
    Favorite Holiday? Christmas

    Hello everyone! My name is Susan. I was doing great last year. I had lost over 40 pounds and was at 140 when the holidays came around and I just got busy and let my exercise drop but not my eating:sad: Now I have put back on nearly 20 pounds and I need to lose it plus some. I will not let the holidays get to me again!!

    Favorite snack: I like alot of things. Maybe almonds if I just had to pick one.
    Favorite way to exercise: I have always done at home workouts. Nearly all Jillian Michael workouts, But i am now doing Insanity. I did join a gym and have been taking classes there the last couple of weeks and I love them.

    Hello, my name is Momoko. I'm happy to join this group as I need some extra support from others in the same boat (OK ocean liner) as myself.

    What is your....
    Ultimate goal? Get down into the 130's.
    Favorite snack? Popcorn
    Favorite way to exercise? If I enjoy it, I'll do it more. That being said, I hate running, but I try to do it and participate in the occasional 5K. My goal in those 5K runs is to not be the last person.
    Favorite Holiday? Oktoberfest, seconded by St. Patrick's Day (figure out the theme yet?)

    Hey everyone, my name's Jayne :)

    Ultimate goal: To get my BMI down to within the healthy range - maybe around 23. I'm not sure what weight that'd be in kg though.
    Favorite snack: I'm a sucker for Jaffa cakes, they're too moreish for their own good.
    Favorite way to exercise: Probably swimming, although it's been ages since I've been confident enough to don a swimsuit and go to the pool. My current size and scars from years of self-harm just make me feel incredibly paranoid and self-conscious.
    Favorite Holiday? New Year's Eve, probably for the same reason that Momoko loves Oktoberfest and St. Paddy's :P

    Hi everyone - I'm excited to find this group! I have recently lost weight on weight watchers and have a few more lbs to go but DO NOT want to gain any of it back - especially during the fall and winter!!

    Ultimate goal? 140 - 145 lbs (@ 149 right now)
    Favorite snack? both healthy and unhealthy - C H O C O L A T E
    Favorite way to exersice? Love biking, jogging and lifting weights! In the winter snowshoeing if it's not too cold outside!
    Favorite Holiday? Gosh to be honest I think Easter - but that could partially be due to the cadbury mini easter eggs! Halloween is awfully cute with the little kids that come to my door:smile:
