    Hi All! My name is Kasey and I am from Tennessee!

    My favorite color is blue (really any shade)
    My favorite season is summer because of all the awesome things we can do outdoors with all the mountains, rivers, and lakes.
    My favorite food is Chiken Marsla :)
    My favorite TV series are the Walking Dead, American Horror Story, & Greys Anatomy.

    For NYE I am striving to lose around 12 lbs, but I am pledging to lose 10 which would be more realistic. Any more would be FANTASTIC!!!

    Hi! My name is Winter and I am a Grade Two teacher living up in Saskatchewan, Canada! I am hoping to lose the 15lbs as well.

    My favorite season is Winter of course... haha. I love to hit up the mountains for snowboarding at least a few times throughout the season. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother.

    As for workout routines, I really enjoy the Jillian MIchaels routines. I have never completed a full 30 day workout but maybe I can add that to my NYE weightloss goal. I also have started running. I have never been a runner so it has been tough. When I started I was only able to run a minute and that felt like death, I am now up to 8 minutes. It doesn't sound like much but it's a huge accomplishment for me. Tonight I am hoping for that 10 minute mark!

    Hello everyone.

    I want to lose 12 lbs by New Years Eve, but I'd be happy with 10. (I'd be happy with anything after a recent plateau that led to something close to giving up). I think this will be the jump start I need to get back on track.

    I'm from Homewood, Illinois, USA which is just south of Chicago
    I don't really have a favorite color
    My favorite season is fall
    my favorite food is Asian - sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, Pad Thai, but I can't have it anymore, especially if I'm going to drop 12 lbs by NYE!
    Television series - I should say something smart but truthfully, I like 30 Rock, Don't Trust the B... I like cleverly written sitcoms and I also have an unfortunate obsession with Dance Moms.
    My favorite workout is walking my dogs, because it's good for them too and riding my bike. But now that it's getting cold and wintery - I've got to move it inside. I use the elliptical but I'm looking for something new that I'll enjoy more. Maybe I'll try a zumba video next.

    My favorite TV show is Modern Family because I like to laugh.
    My favorite activity is jogging or swimming. I am doing a Turkey Trot 5K next week!

    I am also in need of some new friends that are supportive and active on the site, so if that's you please add me!

    Hello, this is great, really need to stay on track and not go crazy during the holidays. My name is Kim, I currently live in Louisville, KY, but I am from KS. I would like to lose at least 3-4lbs. My weight loss seems to happen in chunks, which averages to about .5lb a week. I would love to try and kick it and reach my GW of 140 though.
    Fave color- green/blue
    Fave food- too many.. mexican.. potatoes..
    Fave season- spring and fall. I hate being too hot or too cold.
    TV show- Revenge, Revolution, 2 broke girls
    Workout- Right now I do Zumba 2 days a week, a cardio/core class 1 day, a cardio/strength class 2 days, and saturday a weights class and run/elliptical. I am kind of a crazy person some would say, I love working out. I would probably stay longer if I didn't have to leave my toddler in the nursery. :)

    Hello MFP buddies!
    I am battling the same 8 lbs for the past 4 months.. I would like to put an end to it. At least finish my 2012 with a big bang!
    To make this happen, I have made some plans and want to stick with it. Also, I have 3 exception days for celebrations meals on Diwali, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I will stick to my plan for the rest of the days.

    About me - I live in CA, have 2 kids (13 yr old, 8 yr old), work full-time (corporate office), workout regularly. My biggest problem - FOOD. I eat way too much than what my body needs ;-). My goal is to curb that and follow the 6 week 'Eat to Live' plan by Dr Fuhrman.
