Mama back on track challenge,any takers?

Hi!
I'm REALLY new to this...like "just started today" new. I used to do weight watchers but the point thing wasn't really for me and I have friends who have had great success with MFP. I need support though...I know I'm not good at this alone. My best friend (who lives 12 hours from me) is supposed to be joining later, too, but I would LOVE to be a part of your group! Like I said, I'm new so I don't know much about this site yet and I'm not sure how to add people (lol), but I'll catch on. Okay, about me:

From: South Carolina
Age: 36 (ughhhhh)
want to lose 15-20 pounds by Christmas/New Years
Need to work on: more water!!!!! More movement!!
Why I want to lose weight (again): I'm tired of feeling tired...of achy joints...of heartburn. And of course, the obvious, I'm tired of being flabby!!!

Hello! I have fallen off the wagon recently with MFP. Was doing great until a job change/schedule change, back to school for my child, change in weather, and recent vacation. Would LOVE to do a 30 day challenge to get back on track!! Count me in!!

GOALS:
Login every day to MFP and stay within calorie goal
Exercise 4x/week for at least 30 minutes
Lose 5lbs at the end of 30 days

(Can someone let me know how to find this thread to check back in on Mondays?)

Wow, you must be in my head. I could have written almost the same post. I started mfp in February and by July was down almost 60 pounds. Then I started not logging and recently my exercise routine has stalled. Oh, I have 10,000 excuses, but those excuses were things that were there in Feb/March/April/etc and I didn't get to use them then.

I stepped on the scale today and am up 10 pounds since my lowest in July. I got back to the gym this morning. I need to lay off the sugar that is everywhere lately. My original goal was 75 pounds gone by the end of October and then I fell off and have been (half-heartedly) trying to pull myself up ever since.

On the mommy front, I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old. I do a great deal of volunteering with things that usually involve food, so that takes restraint and I need to get back to saying no to all of those temptations. The events are not about the food....the events are not about the food...the events.....

Original SW in Feb - 351
SW - today - 304
Goal - be under 300 again at the end of the month (for us bigger gals, we can lose that when we first start out again so it's very possible)
Perfect Goal - log in and complete food diary every day. Exercise 4 times a week. Feel better about myself again!

Thank you for starting this. Please find me and kick me in the butt with a message if I am not here often.

Hello all!
My name is Holly, I am ready to get my health and weight back on track. My family has a history of heart issues (diabetes, high bp ect.) And I can't follow in their footsteps. I am 24 with a 2 ½ year old son and happily married for nearly 4 years to my best friend.

The reason why my health and weight got out of hand-
I was plagued by serious health issues after giving birth to my son. I was so sick for 2 years and could not even think about being healthy. Thankfully many doctors later I am now on the mend and feeling better than I have in 2 years and ready to tackle my weight and make a lifestyle change for the better.

My goals-
I just want to be a healthier person overall. I know losing weight will make me happy because I will look good on the outside but it is also going to change the way I feel on the inside. I want to be proud of myself again. And I want my family to be proud of me too. I want to change forever the way I eat, nothing good is going to come of the way I eat now.

My current weight is 188#

I really want to join too, I have fallen off MFP recently but really need to get back into things and back on track. I need the support and motivation something like this will give me and the accountability is huge for me. Thanks for starting it.

anyone doing c25k, i could really use some help!!!!!!!!!!

I am in! I have been on mfp for two years now and it has been a significant part of my weight loss. I want to join this movement and challenge myself in the next thirty days to get the sugar intake down.

My goal is to not have a sweet after dinner which is very hard. Since i work out and go home and eat a sensible meal if i have calories left over (which is most of the time) i end up eating cookies (this is my one biggest weakness oh and doritos) . If not cookies some sort of sweet and i think that is why i have begin to feel sluggish and tired. I drink plenty of water I go to bed at 9 and I exercise most weeks six days for at least 1.5 to 2 hours so it has to be the sugar that has my weight loss at a stand still.

Starting weight: 192.6
goal weight (30days from 10/16/) 187.6 five lbs down

please feel free to add me as a friend i need all the help and motivation available.

PERFECT today I felt like this was it Im just not motivated not doing it blah blah blah, then I see this im so down for this thanks ladies.

My goals for December:

work out 4 days a week
finish 30DS
get out of the 200s I dnt care if its 199.5
WE GOT THIS !!!!!! (ihope)

We all should become MFP friends and help keep up with each other that way also, will help with the accountability!

I'm a mother of two. I work two jobs and don't put myself first most of the time. I started mfp and have lost 21 pounds so far. I started at 206 and lost a few pounds going to the gym. MFP showed me what I was putting in my mouth and made me accountable. I am currently 176.4 (haven't updated mfp). I weigh myself everyday to keep me going in the right direction and to teach myself what foods effect me. I would like to lose 26 my pounds not the 39 that it says on here. I think 39 would be too much. It's hard when you don't have to much to lose. I have stalled several times. I did a juice cleanse which I had execellent results not just with losing 10 pounds in 10 days but my energy level was high, sleep good and my skin never looked better. I am currenly doing JM ripped in 30, Denise Austin Pilates and going to the gym as much as my schedule will allow. I would love to tone and sculp my body.

SW 206 can't remember what I started with on here
CW 176.4
Goal 150
age 35

I could use a challenge and some accountability. I am almost 47 and my youngest is 20. I have been overweight all of my life and have been trying to lose weight all year. I have dropped about 20 pounbds but it has been very slow. I normally exercise every day for at least 40 min - mostly cardio but I have been trying to do 30DS. I am not very good at it yet.
