I'm glad I just remembered to check back to see if this group was created. Thanks for creating it BTW!

I'm...
5'4"
26 year old female
HW: 220
SW: 195
GW: 140s by next summer

I just want to be stronger and more fit. I've always been active and into sports, but I've never made a real effort to eat well and work out at the same time. It was always one or the other. After not looking at the scale for two years, I finally got on one and found out I was surprisingly under 200 pounds for the first time probably since middle school. It was purely from eating better. This got me motivated to work harder than ever.

I'm ready to go!

Hello my name is Amy
I am 30 years old and I have 36-ish pounds to lose
I am 5'2"
My heaviest weight that I am remember was in the mid to high 170's
I lost right around 20 pounds two years ago and fell off the wagon, with life happening I have been unable to get back on as I have tried many of times
I work full time, have an incredible father and am a mother to an amazing 4 year old little boy
We just came back from Jamaica less than two weeks ago and after looking at all of the pictures I am upset with myself for not meeting my goal and I have all of the pictures to prove it... yuck

I look forward to this group and I thank you Amanada for beginning this so that we can all be there for each other in support along with making us accountable for our actions... lets go team and I pray good luck for all of you!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I'm so glad that I found this group! My name is Christina and I’m from Buffalo, NY. I started MFP almost 2 years ago (Jan 2011) at 214lbs. With exercise and eating better, I steadily lost weight and was down to 159lbs for my wedding in April 2012.

Since then, I have stopped exercising regularly and I haven’t been consistently keeping track of what I’ve been eating, so now I’m back up to 184lbs :sadface: The turning point now was I had a customer at work yesterday ask me if I was expecting….now he’s a moron to begin with, and it could have been that that the sweater I was wearing was a little tight, or even the way I was sitting on my stool, but either way, that was so hard for me to hear.

I want to get back on track, now it just seems like things are always getting in the way or I’m just too tired to put in consistent effort. Hopefully, with the help and support of everyone on here, I can find my way back to getting healthy again!

Can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!

Hi I'm Andi.

Age: 23
Height: 5'4"
Highest Weight: 172 lbs
Current Weight: 172 lbs
Goal Weight: 145 lbs

I'd love to get back to the size I was at my wedding. I weighed 135 then, but I had almost no muscle, so now I'm aiming for around 145 with muscle.

Hi everyone! I would love to join you if you don't mind!!

My name is Jenny. I'm from the Ann Arbor, MI area.
I'm 39 yrs old and 5'7".
Highest weight: 210
Current weight: 195.2
Goal weight: 160 (if I can get lower, I will be even happier but my goal is 160. I don't ever remember weighing less than 162.)

I have a very bad back, getting ready to start PT fro it and hoping for some relief from the pain. I just want to look and feel better. I jazzercise 4-6 days a week and log everything I eat. I don't deprive myself, I am just much more aware now what food does to my body. Finally at almost 40 years old I understand! I want to be around for my kids, my nephew, and someday my grandkids. I want to be more active and show my youngest son how to eat/exercise properly and be healthy. He is taking after my family, we're built big and heavy compared to my husband's family. My other two boys are tall and skinny like his side. If I can show him the better choices maybe he'll catch on and not struggle quite as much.

My name is Cassie
I live in Iowa
I am a college Junior, English and Religion as majors/minors with another minor in Scandinavian Studies
I'm 20 years old
I'm 5'6
My highest weight was 196
My weight now is 171
My ultimate goal weight is 120
My REALISTIC goal weight is 135

My main reason for getting healthy is to live a long healthy life and gain my confidence back. I also want to be able to 1. look pretty for my girlfriend, 2. go clothes shopping without being ashamed, 3. be able to run outside without being embarrassed, and 4. complete a 5k

Hi! My name is Tara. I'm 27 years old, 5'7".

My starting weight (2 years ago) was 185. I lost over 20 pounds using weight watchers. After plateauing, I stopped paying for the program and counting points.

I joined my fitness pal 2 weeks ago -
SW 160 lbs
CW 155 lbs
GW 140 lbs
UGW 135lbs - I haven't been below 150 lbs since high school, so I'm not exactly sure how realistic this is.

I am so ready to hit my first goal weight. It was my original goal when I first joined Weight Watchers, and still have not hit it yet. I think 15 lbs is definitely doable by June 1! I'm so excited to work hard and have it pay off! I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and in photos and smile, without thinking "I could have sucked in a little more" or "wow, wish she had cropped out my arm!" I'm hopeful that the accountability in this group will motivate me to reach my goals.

Hi Everyone-

I'm just joining this group now (12/2/12), so I'm a bit late to the party hehe..

I started MFP last May, and was serious about it on and off. I've gotten very serious with my tracking now, and exercise has been great, but my food choices not so much. My goal is to lose 40 by June- I'll be going away with my BF for the first time to Miami and meeting his mother (eek!) so it's very important that I feel good about myself in that bikini I swear I'll be wearing!

SW: 231.8

GW: 173.4

My name is Taniesha
I'm 28 YO
My height is 5'3
Starting weigh was 175
Current weight is now 171.5
My goal is to be 125 lbs by the summer.

175 is the highest weight that I have ever been at. I've been small framed until I started with birth control. I have been watching my calories and working out some. If I keep it up I know I can achieve my goal by the summer.

Hi there,

My name is Jaimie and I want to join this group for the last month of the slimdown, and be down to 62kg by 1st June. I currently weigh 70 kg but lose weight (AND GAIN IT) quite fast so it might seem like a huge leap but its feasible.
