Hi! I am a 55 year old grandmother of two wonderful little girls! I started gaining weight 15 years ago after working in an office all by myself and having to take an hour lunch.I never ate lunch before! I would go out and eat lunch due the office being very small and noone to talk to . Then I would bring back a bag of candy to get thru the afternoon. Thus I went from a healthy 135lbs. to 213! I am now down to 197 and started back on a diet after getting help from a wonderful new doctor. Just talking to him for a few minutes got me back on track and wanting to prove to him and myself that I can get back to my old weight.
I look forward to going on this journey with you all and losing 30 lbs by April!

hi, i am 30 and trying to get pregnant. I am trying to lose weight to accomplish this. I live in the midwest.

My name is Lupita and on Feb 29th of this year I gave birth to my 3rd and last child. I had my oldest at the age of 17 yrs old and have struggled with my weight since. My motivation is my kids!!!! I have a long way to go but hopefully with the support I get at home plus on here I will make it, finally

Hey everyone, I'm Dondra... Every one calls me Dre... I'm 26 from Saint Louis MO. I'm trying to get in shape not just for myself but also for my family... I have two girls and I want to be healthy and active in their lives. I joined this group because I love a challenge and when you mix that with a group of people trying to reach the same goals.. Makes a recipe for success.

Ok. I'll bite. I can always use some motivation. I'm trying to overall drop from 225 to the 180 area.

Oh and I'm Edgar, by the way. I'm trying to lose weight to be in better shape and be more physically fit for when I take my physical exam for SFPD.

I currently reside in Norcal so if there's anyone up here that wants to go running every once and a while hit me up =]

Let's do this!

Hey hey!

I am an Aussie sole parent of 2 and have been on this current journey for 14 months now. I am hoping to hit goal in 2013.

Height - 5'10"
Start weight: 260lbs (118kg)
Current weight: 213lbs (97kg)
Goal weight: 176lbs (80kg)
Ultimate goal: 169lbs (77kg)

My weight loss has been slow but fairly steady. Earlier in the year I discovered running and fell in love, however injury put a stop to that. For now I am tracking calories and walking twice a day. It works for me.

Hello everyone...I'm Kathy and have been on this journey for a long time. I'm ready to finally lose all the weight once and for all. MFP is a very motivating site and I'm encouraged by all the success stories. The weight is coming off slow but from what I understand slow weight is a good thing. Here are my stats:

Height - 5' 3"
SW - 248
MFP SW - 226
Current weight - 215
Goal weight for April 1 - 195
Ultimate goal weight - 160

Looking forward to the challenge. Please feel free to add me. I need support and try to be supportive to others.

Howdy! My name is Crystal and I'm from middle Tennessee. :-) I am a 30 year old momma of one precious, ACTIVE 7 year old little boy! My ultimate goal is to be a healthier, more active momma for him. He deserves the best. And not a momma that's too tired ti play, run, etc.

I'm starting out at 251.2 (more that I was when I was 9 months prego with my little feller). My ultimate goal (for now) is not to be "obese" anymore. 191. By April 1rst my goal is to lose 32 lbs. Hopefully I'll be in the 2-teens. :-)

My plan is to eat less and start being more active! It's that simple! Good luck to all of ya'll and I can't wait to see everyons amazing results in the spring! :-)

Hi there! My name is Shanna. I'm from Oklahoma, am 42 years old, overworked and exhausted. I've battled with weight my entire adult life, alternating between thin (okay, maybe not "thin", but at least somewhat "normal") and fat since I had my daughter at age 22. However, since hitting 40 and having a hysterectory, it has been a much bigger struggle to get any weight off. In fact, I've managed to gain 40 lbs in the past two years. My body is starting to hurt, particulary my hips, lower back and knees, I make excuses to avoid social situations, espcially when it involves seeing people I've not seen in awhile, or meeting new people associated with my husband (he's tall, slender, attractive, accomplished, and I feel like they will surely wonder what he's doing married to me). I'm so tired of hurting, feeling sluggish, clothes not fitting, and hiding from the world! The 120-day challenge might be just what I need! My husband and I are going to Italy for our ten-year anniversary the first of April and I would really like to be fit and feel better about myself when we go. Then, I have a twenty-five year reunion this summer, as well as a Mexico trip with friends that I can't even imagine putting on short sleeves for, let alone a bathing suit! Lot's of reasons I need to get motivated. I currently weigh 182lbs and would like to lose that 40lbs I've gained, and maybe even 10 or 15 more, if I could. But really, I just want my body to quit aching and feel healthy again, and be able to walk into a room with confidence, not feeling like everyone there is thinking to themselves. "Wow, she has sure packed on the pounds."

Hello,

I'm a 27 year old mom (turns 5 tomorrow) to a wonderful little boy. I started tracking my intake and working towards weight loss in the beginning of August, and joined here a few weeks after. As of this morning I am under 8.5 lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight, but if you read my profile, I have a lot more to shed. So far it has been fairly easy with just keeping track of what I'm eating, eating better, and drinking more water, but the advantage was starting off so high. I didn't think I would ever get back down to this point, but it's never too late to try. I still have a huge goal, and gladly welcome the challenge. I log in multiple times a day, so anyone that would like some extra support can add me in here.

Hi! My name is Vicki and I am 39. I live in Cambridge, UK. I have slowly been putting on weight throughout my adult life and have found it hard to change my eating habits for any length of time. I did get close to my goal weight which is 65kg a few years ago by doing weight watchers but it wasn't sustainable for me and I have been feeling a bit pessimistic about it all. I started doing intermittent fasting about a month ago and I have been doing really well on it. I find it surprisingly easy and I am losing weight well. I hope I will be quite close to my goal weight by April 1st. I am currently 76kg and have been losing nearly a kg a week on average so far.

Sounds like this is exactly what I need!! I'm Jennifer... I live in Kansas City, MO with my husband of 7 years and our 3 boys (5, 4, and 2). I started my weight loss journey in October 2011 and lost 60lbs by April 2012. Over the summer I gained 15lbs back, and I want to lose those 15lbs plus another 20 to 30lbs. I have just discovered a love for running and have made a personal goal of running a 5k in less than 30 min in 2013! I also love Jillian Michaels workouts. I am in the middle of 30DS at the moment. I think this will help keep me on track!
