    Hey I'm looking for a twin! Not sure if everyone's matched up already. I've been working out lately and trying to keep an eye on how much I'm eating with MFP. So far I've lost 7 pounds in the last couple of months! The past year especially I gained a lot of weight due to not being happy with how my life was going and finally I've decided to take responsibility for my actions and actually do something to change my situation. Eventually I want to get down to 125 which is the goal weight I've had in the back of my mind for years.

    Age: 23 (Will be turning 24 in January!)
    Height: 5'7"
    Daily Calorie Goal: 1500-1700 (My goal is more focused on eating healthy and I'd like to stick to paleo/primal as much as possible)
    CW: 208 (hoping to get under 205 before the start of the challenge)
    GW: 190
    Preferred work-outs: Right now I'm doing the Nerd Fitness program along with Turbo Jam cardio stuff so someone that likes strength training would be preferred because I don't really know what I'm doing still and it would be good to double check stuff with them haha it doesn't matter though add me as a friend if you want!

    Hi, I am Corrie:
    Age: 34
    Height: 5' 1"
    Daily Calorie Goal: 1340
    CW: 144
    GW: 132

    Okay, let's do this!
    Age: 25
    Height: 5'1"
    Daily Calorie Goal: 1450
    CW: 145
    GW (for this challenge): 135
    GW (final): 125

    I am a runner, but I am currently recovering from foot surgery. I am a cook for a living, so I am on my feet all day and I don't count this towards my workouts. I have been using Just dance on the Wii, Zumba DVDs, and I'd like to start a lifting routine again. I'll also be back to running no later than the middle of this challenge.

    We sound a bit similar. I currently haven't run in a couple months, but am doing a 5k in a few weeks, so need to get on the ball :wink:

    Shelly, I'll twin you! Our ages and heights are off, but our activities/food and goals are close. I want to be more consistent with eating healthy as well, and I love weights.

    Daily Calorie Goal: 1590 (1490?)
    CW: Between 195 & 200 (haven't weighed in a few weeks, waiting till January to take a current weight)
    GW: 150
    Preferred work-outs: yoga and walking, I enjoy weights as well (will have access to this soon)

    I'm a little older, taller, and my calories are a little less but other then that we are pretty much the same. :)

    I think that a few years, and the small differences in calories won't even matter. You have found an accountability twin in me. Looking forward to the progress we will make together!
