    Hey everyone! My name is Amanda! I am hoping to lose about 10 lbs..

    I am from Missouri.
    Fav color is purple.. and blue!
    My favorite season is fall.. the leaves are so pretty and it's the perfect temp outside!
    Favorite food... Chinese. /: haha
    TV series... hmmm... I don't have a favorite. Don't watch tv all that much anymore. Too busy with college life and all. (:

    My favorite workout routines are probably the ones on the Nike training app, its a GREAT workout, and I do the 30 min ones. By the end of it, I am dead!

    I also work at a gym, so I utilize that advantage as much as possible. I mostly do cardio there though, the weight room is intimidating! Not super sure what to do and such, so I just haven't tried unfortunately. I'm open to suggestions if any of you would like to add me/ send a message!


    Good luck to everyone! (:

    Hello All,
    My name is Clara May and I live in Raphine, Virginia. Been here since 1991.
    My fav color is Royal Blue
    My fav season is Spring
    My fav food is ...... learning to like new things but it still has to be Mac/Cheese
    My fav TV show is NCIS
    and as far as my fav work out well I am still trying new things (because I never did anything before) so as of now I really don't have a Favorite yet. I work mostly with Stabilizing Ball, BOSU, resistance bands, TRX and 5 to 10 lbs wgts. Just started some Zumba classes too.

    I hope to be at 145# by Xmas but I'll set my goal for New Years Eve. I have not lost wgt in 2 months but I have lost inches so that is a good thing. CW 170#.

    I am from Arlington WA and am STILL bummed that summer is over! I like Fall but once the rain starts its harder to be outdoors. I am a blue and orange kind of girl. Favorite foods are Mexican food, Sushi, and Pizza. I watch Hawaii Five O, Mike and Molly, and Two Broke Girls. 15 pounds is a perfect goal for New Years if I can stay away from the Wine and Christmas cookies! My plan for the winter is Work out videos at home and to go to Zumba class (even though I am terrible at it)

    Hi everyone! Mine name is Amanda, and I currently reside in Hartford, CT. I am am full time grad student, and working part time in an office. I realllly want to lose 13 lbs by NYE. My diet recently has been extremely poor, so I think changing that around will make a huge difference. As far as working out, I am pretty good about going at least 4 times a week. Classes are the best way to keep me going...at my gym I take pilates, bodycombat, and a basic training interval class. On my own, I usually do some strength training with free weights and the elliptical. I have fallen in love with the kettlebell!! You can use it for almost anything you use a dumbbell for. I also have work out dvds and absolutely love Jillian Michaels; however, I live on the 4th floor in an apt and I always get worried I am being too loud for my neighbors underneath (if you do JM you know a lot of the jumping around she has you do)..If i am home mid day I will pop one in from time to time. My bday is right around NYE so I have multiple reasons for wanting to look good by then!! Hoping to get motivation from you all, and help others along the way!!

    How much would you like to lose by New Years Eve??

    I would like to lose at least 10 lbs



    Where are you from? Rochester NY

    Favorite color: Used to be blue, then purple, and now I really like red. But I guess my ultimate favorite color is black. It's mysterious, classic, and goes with everything. Also, it's very slimming when it comes to black clothing. haha :wink:

    Favorite season: Definitely SUMMER!!! Summer is festival season in Rochester and there is a festival almost every weekend! LOVE it! :drinker:

    Favorite food: I know everyone likes it but I LOOOOOVE pizza.... I have it at least once a week. But I'm also obsessed with breakfast food. :love:

    Favorite TV Show: There are SOOO many!! Bones, Supernatural, and Big Bang Theory are my current Top 3 that are tied for 1st place. hahaha I watch so many shows, I can't just pick one!

    What are your favorite workout routines? Currently doing CrossFit 3x a week. The routines are always different. I have to say my favorites are the ones that don't involve Burpees.... hahaha But then they just replace Burpees with something equally challenging. :grumble:

    Hi everyone, I would like to loose 20 pounds by new year eve. Sounds over ambitious but Ive determined.
    Im from Ireland, I live in Portlaoise. My favorite color is apple green and my fav. TV series is Tinsel.
    My favorite workout is brisk walk. I walk 10km every morning, 5days a week. I have found MFP site the best for healthy living and weight loss. I have been trying to keep off weight for about 3 years now with the weight stagnant at some stage. When I joined MFP in October, the weight started droping. Ive lost 18 pounds, weighing and watching what goes into my mouth. Thanks to MFP and to this new challenge.
