hello. i'm 5'4 and at my all time high of 190 pounds. i would love to lose 10 pounds by christmas, if not more. i have had MFP before but quit using it when i accepted being out of shape.. now i want to lose weight again, this time for good!

Hi my name is Laurie and I'm 20yrs old. During my high school years I was always active in cross country and soccer and never realized that my quick metabolism was due to all that intense exercise. I never aknowledged what I was eating until I was forced to: 50lbs heavier in just a year due to college and inactivity. I lost a bit of weight just doing restricted calorie diets that werent for me. so I joined myfitnesspal this month and have lost about 5lbs...i started out 132.5lbs and am currently down to 128. My goal weight is 110. This is the first group I have joined and I cant wait to get connected with everyone and get some new diet and exercise ideas! good luck everyone : )

Hello everyone. I'm new to this program and am on day two of tracking my food. I have over 40 total pounds to loose. I saw this and thought it would be a great motivator to stay on task. Best of luck to all of you. Going to let my boxer take me for a walk now.

Hello everyone, This Derek is from Chicago, I'm looking for motivation to keep track and stay focused.

Hello. I'm Heather. I'm 36, and my current weight is 170 (but my weight the day before Thanksgiving was 167!) so my goal weight for Christmas is -- oh, let's say -- 157. (I just gained about 3 pounds from Thanksgiving)

I am very motivated to reverse that problem and lose 10 pounds by the next holiday. It is very ambitious -- but I have done it before, I can do it again. I am going to try the "Fat Smash" diet again -- it's worked for me in the past. It's usually a great kick start to weight loss. (I once lost 7 pounds in about 10 days). I don't believe super fast weight loss is actually sustainable, but I am looking at this as - again - a kick-start to my long term, sustainable weight loss and healthy lifestyle. Cheers!

I am 29 and also weigh 138! I'd like to be 120-125 as well so I'll also shoot for 128 by Christmas

Hi Everyone, I am Amanda. I am a 31 YO married mother of one son. My 2012 goal was to reach 170 lbs. I am currently 180. I started my journey 2 years ago at 300 lbs. I'm trying to reenergize myself to drop this last 10 lbs for 2012. When I found this group, I became even more excited about the possibility of reaching it.

I'm in! I've lost 15 so far - sort of a slow and meandering journey - so I'm excited to have this challenge to re-focus myself! I've got at least 60 lbs left to go...

Hi! I'm Madison from Australia I'm 5'8 and 53.5 kgs... hoping to get to my goal of 50 kgs and keep it off over summer. You're all so motivated and friendly so I thought why not join this group?

Hello everyone!

I'm 5"4, 176 (lost 8lbs so far) and plan to be 166 by Christmas! Now that Thanksgiving is over, there is no excuse!

Hi everyone, My name is Heather. I would love to lose 10 lbs by Christmas. It is a little difficult because I work full time and I am also almost a full time college student. But I really don't like that I have been gaining weight and I don't like how I am feeling. I made it to the gym twice last week and I am shooting for three times a week. Thanks for having this challenge. Let' s kick some 10 pound butt!

Hey, I have been here at MFP for couple months but need a boost to my weight lose plan. My ultimate goal is to lose around 40 pounds and this short term challage will get me closer to my goal. Any one feel free to add me to your friends. Sakke
