    I would love to get down to my goal of 125 which would mean losing 11 lbs. I definitely want to tone up and start strength training at least 3 days a week. This totally sounds like something that could help me. Having the support of an entire group of people is sure to keep me going :)

    Hello everyone! I've tried to lose weight a lot of time but by doing it by myself I am not motivated enough.
    I want to lose 8 lb by Christmas and getting used to exercise at least 3 times a week. I need a group to help me doing this!

    Hey everybody :)

    I would like to start by welcoming everyone to this challenge, i hope everyone enjoys themselves and gets the motivation/results they want.

    First of my name is Meg. Initially when I signed up for MFP I lost 40 pounds but then Christmas happened and I lost all motivation and will power. I gained about 30 pounds back and can't seem to stay motivated or stop snacking or mindless eating. I do good for a day or two then loose all will power and end up over eating and feeling bad about over eating and then end up saying **** it.

    My goal for this 15 week challenge is to help re find my motivation and control my eating habits. I also hope to lose around 15 pounds.

    Hi everyone! I would love to lose 30 pounds by the end of this challenge. My ultimate goal is to lose 80 pounds. I'm hoping this challenge will give me the motivation and support to make it through the holiday's without going overboard.

    My name is Julie and I'm almost 24 years old. I'm hoping to reach my goal of 130 (about 15 pounds) and finally be fit and in shape. After I reach that, I'm going to reevaluate to see if I want to lose more, focus on toning, stay there, etc. I'm really excited to be a part of this group. Thanks Meg for getting it going! Best of luck to everyone!

    My name is Sarah, I'm 55 days into MFP, and I love it :D
    I've seen a lot of challenge-type things around, but never really got into any..
    Why this one? I don't know. It's just one of those things that seems like a good idea lol
    This will require a lottt of motivation, though, and I'm sure my MFP friends will be there every step of the struggle lol

    P.S. Absolutely ANYONE can add me, I'm supportive, log every single day, and am always here to talk :)

    Hi my name is LaDonna. I have over 100 pounds to lose and thought if I start with short challenges this will help me to reach my goal a little easier instead of thinking about all that I need to lose in the long run. During these 15 weeks, I'd like to build an exercse routine as well as make good choices in dealing with my addiction to sweets.

    Hello everyone My name is Jenna I am 29 years old a full time working nurse, wife and mother of 2 very active kids. I was very active in my life, the gym, diet, and running races. That was until this year : ( On January 26 th I caught a 550 lbs patient while he was falling in his home. I sprained my entire spin and I have been immobile to small amounts of lightly active ever since then. I just started back to part time, modified work 3 weeks ago. SInce my life changing experience and my pain I found I need to pick myself up and get back on the wagon!! So I started back on MFP and started back at the gym and I started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred today. So Hello and glad to meet everyone and start this challenge to lose this weight!!

    Hi, my name is Walt and this is my first MFP challenge. I'm looking to get involved in a challenge to help keep myself motivated. When it comes to weight loss I have a very hard time staying motivated after a couple weeks. I'm hoping a challenge will give me some goals to work for while competing with other members. Good luck to all!
