    My name is Erika. I am originally from Virginia, but I am living in Louisiana now. I pledge to lose 10 pounds by NYE!

    My favorite color is purple.
    My favorite season is Fall.
    My favorite food is Greek.
    My favorite television series are LOST, Walking Dead, Community, and Happy Endings.
    At the moment my workout consists of cardio and 30 day shred, but I love playing kickball and volleyball!

    I definitely need this to help me get through the holidays, and that caloric disaster that is the trip home for Christmas.

    Feel free to add me if you want to be support buddies!

    Hey everyone! My name is Jenn and I'm from Rhode Island. I want to lose at least 10 pounds by NYE!!!
    My favorite color is blue.
    I love fall because of the smell in the air, the leaves changing, halloween, thanksgiving ect...
    My favorite food is Italian, (from a small Italian town in RI)
    I really don't watch much TV, but a favorite would be Law and Order: SVU.

    This will be helpful for me to remind myself not to indulge through Christmas with the family!

    Hi everyone. My name is Robyn and I'm from MN. I have a six year old daughter and I pledge to lose 10 pounds by New Years! My brother is getting married next summer and if I don't get a move on I will have lots of pictures of myself that I'm not so proud of :)!
    My favorite color is pink
    My favorite food is soup! Just about any kind will do with a nice big slice of homemade bread!
    My favorite season is fall because the weather is perfect to cozy up with a cup of hot coco and a warm blanket.
    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.

    Hi everyone! I'm Ashley. I'm 28 years old, and I live in VA. I have been yo-yo'ing with my weight for awhile now. I did Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost 20 lbs. I have gained almost all of them back. I need to re-commit to tracking on here and getting back on the right path. I'm hoping to find some friends on here who can help me with that!

    CW: 145, I would like to lose 10 before NYE. My overall goal is to lose 20 lbs and maintain that.

    Favorite foods: sushi, anything Italian, Thai
    Favorite season: fall
    Favorite TV show... ooh, that's hard. I am really enjoying Once Upon a Time and Dexter right now.
    Favorite color: blue
    Favorite workouts: I love going to step aerobics and kickboxing. Over the summer, I did the Couch to 5K and got myself up to running 30 minutes a day, 3x a week. I need to get back to that habit! I also need to do more strength training.

    Good luck to all, and feel free to add me!

    Good day group mates. I'm so new to MFP, I had to google what NSV meant. So, with that...

    By NYE I would like to lose 12lbs. I really think I could lose more, but I'm giving myself a goal that I know I can get to and surpass. To further motivate myself.

    I am from Oklahoma and live in a suburb of Tulsa.

    My favorite season is all of them. Fall, football, Oktoberfest, and can still play some golf. Winter, I enjoy the cold and warmth by a fireplace (I need to get mine fixed). Spring, What is not to love about the spring... except for the tornado's here in OK. Summer, don't mind the heat and love the the natural tan (Native American, here).

    My favorite food is probably buffalo chicken wings. But, I would never turn down some good BBQ, a smoked turkey leg, or fried catfish.... hmmm guess that's why I'm at my current predicament.

    Favorite T.V. shows include: The Office, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Monday Night Football, NFL Football on Sundays and College Football on Saturdays.

    My favorite workouts would be either pick up basketball or football. But if we're talking in a gym, the Elliptical and leg days are my favorites.
  • Hi Guys...
    My name is Nicola , I am 38 and live in Wales in the UK
    I am getting married next April so have a great incentive to lose the poundage. I was doing geat and lost 23lb but fell off the wagon on the last few weeks and put 5lb back on hoping this group is gonna give me the motivation to get back on track.

    I want to lose 14lb by NYE
    My fav foods are all bad Chinese and Indian takeouts
    My fav tv shows are Vampire diaries, NCIS LA, Arrow etc etc. I may live in the UK but love US tv shows
    Fav colour is red
    Season is def spring..... Us British don't get summers.... Lol
    Don't do enough exercise so need to step it

    Good luck guys....
  • Where are you from - I am originally from Miami, FL but now live outside of Gainesville, FL
    What is your favorite color - Orange b/c it just makes me happy, it's so bright and fun.
    Favorite Season - Fall & Spring. Fall b/c it starts cooling off & it means the holidays are coming; Spring b/c I know it'll start warming up soon & everything is blooming. I'm a Miami girl at heart so while I enjoy when it starts cooling off, I really don't like cold weather so I'm ready for some warm weather once Spring starts around again.
    Food - Too many to name (and I'll make myself hungry thinking about it, lol)
    Television series - I am addicted to the old Roseanne episodes, watch them a lot. Other than that, Chopped, Restaurant Impossible, Pioneer Woman (the only cooking show I watch anymore) and I love the new series Nashville.
    What are your favorite workout routines - Right now I just walk on my lunch break. However my co-worker is bringing me an exercise bike that he isn't using anymore, so I'll start using that. My daughters and I are starting the Couch-to-5K on Sunday so I'm going to have to figure out a new routine on the days we aren't doing that.

    I'd like to lose 10 lbs before NYE.

  • Hi, I'm going to lose 10 lbs by New Year's Eve! I'm originally from near Binghamton, NY, but I just moved to Maryland. I was, up until the move, a professional archaeologist; now I work at a library. My favorite colors are green, gray, and brown. I love autumn! My favorite food is sausage and apples sauteed together, which may be why I love autumn, come to think of it. I can't think of a favorite tv series, but I like to knit, spin, and crochet, and I'm learning to weave. My favorite computer games are the Elder Scrolls series (Morrowind, Skyrim, and next year Elder Scrolls Online!). I'm not sure if I have a favorite workout, but I mostly walk, do yoga, and some bodyweight strength exercises. I'm working up to starting a couch-to-5k running program, but I've been ill for some time and I'm not up to even a very short run, yet. It'd be nice to start that by NYE, too!

  • Hi!
    My name is Eimear and I'm from Ireland, any other Irish people out there?

    I hope to loose either a stone or 5kg by new years, counting the sneaky chocolates around Christmas time :P
    My favorite color is purple, I love fresh winter mornings, would eat anything, but chicken curry with wholegrain rice is a favorite, I like crime solving dramas, but ultimate fav series has to be Friends!

    Have recently learned some weight lifting routines, and interval training, burning more calories in less time. Any one have any comments on vibration plates? Have recently started using one (only my second day) and wondering about results!

    Good luck everybody :)

    Hi, I'm Heather and my goal is 3 lbs by New Years. I know this doesn't sound like much, but I started weight training a couple of months ago and am at the point where every lb I lose is 1% of my body fat IF I maintain my current muscle mass, which is my other goal. So I'm only eating at a small deficit which should average 0.5 lb/ week loss. So I guess my goal is 3 lbs and hopefully 3% body fat.

    Workouts: I'm a bellydancer and also take African dance- so dance classes currently 3 times a week (would like to go back to 4). I will start stage 3 of New Rules of Lifting for women on Sunday.

    Color: green
    Season: summer
    Food: chocolate! Lately I love sweet potatoes too.
    Series: I hardly ever watch TV...one of my friends got me hooked on Mad Men on Netflix

    I pledge a 10 pound loss, but would love to get rid of more!!

    Let's see.. I'm over 40 (ahem, let's leave it at that). I love green and pink, what can I say I was a child of the 80's. I love Spring most I think, but really can't choose. TV? We DVR the NCIS's, Criminal minds, Elementary. I also love Doctor Who, but no one else I know even knows what I am talking about! :( Oh, and Luther!

    I have started back to the gym and will supplement with some dvd's that have just been collecting dust.

    My initial weigh-in will be tomorrow.

    Good luck everyone!! Free free to send me friend requests!!

    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!

    Stick with it Winter. I started 1 1/2 years ago. Just like you couldn't even run a minute. Now I can run for an hour with no stops.

    hello! : )

    my name is melanie, i am from baltimore MD.
    my favorite ...
    color: purple
    season: winter! snow, so many holidays and my birthday, what's not to love?
    food: sushi
    television series: i know i am late on the game ... but i am recently OBSESSED with heroes & am watching from season 1 episode 1. i am currently at the beginning of season 2!

    i am not necessarily looking to LOSE more weight so much as i am hoping not to GAIN any as a result of the holidays. i reached my maintenance weight and normally fluctuate now between 120-125. my goal is to NOT get back at or above 130 so i joined this group for some extra accountability through this tempting season.

    my favorite workouts are actually youtube videos from fitsugar & blogilates. i am also getting more into running ... i do lots of 5ks & am training for a half marathon

    good luck everyone! feel free to friend me
