    Hey everyone. I'm Athena. My ultimate goal this year is to lose another 60lbs. I've already lost 60 so I'm halfway to my goal weight. This group sounds like just what I need to stay focused and on track!

    Hi! My name is Monica. I'm 23 years old, married to an amazing man and have two children, Christian and Adalyn. I started my weight loss journey in August at 226 lbs, by November I was down to 191, and took December off (got a little wild went right back to my binging ways :( ) and today Im back at 198. A pound a week would be awesome, getting me to 146 at least by next new years. I'm ready!!!

    I am in!! This is exactly what I need. 1 lb. a week seems like not much, but over time will add up. Slow and steady!

    My name is Brittany. I have been married for 9 1/2 years and have 2 beautiful children. I work full time which means early mornings for me if I want to get a workout in.. My goal is to lose about 50 lbs this year.

    Howdy! I am Michy from Texas.

    Happy New Year!!! Here's to a great 2013 with lots of goals being met. 52 pounds is very close to what I need to make my weight loss goal. 2013 is the year to do! My husband and I would like to start a family in 2014, which means I have one year to get my life and health on track so we can raise a healthy family.

    Good Luck to Everyone!!

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Tracy and I looking to lose 76 pounds for now but 52 seems like a nice and slow process with lots of friendly advice and help along the way! We can do this and I am excited to have this new goal!
  • Hi, I'm Kristy. I'm 33 and a stay at home mom to two children - a 3 1/2 year old boy, and a 9 month old girl. I'm excited about losing 52 pounds in 52 weeks! I just signed up to MFP, so I don't have any "friends" on here... I'm not even sure how to add them, so please add me! Thanks!

    Hi! My name is Stacey. I am 42 years old and am a happily married mom of two boys. Caden is 12 and Corey is 8. I rejoined weight watchers about a month ago for the 5th time. I am pleased with my progress so far, but I am frustrated with the Weight Watchers etools and I am trying to be tolerant of the personalities in my weekly meetings (this is always my downfall). I am excited to have one more source of support....I need all I can get :happy:
  • I would like to join this group as it sounds perfect for the goal I have to lose 50 pounds this year. My name is Sarah and I'm 31 years old. I have been happily married for 6 1/2 years and we have three amazing children. A 4 year old daughter and 2 year old boy/girl twins. I'm a stay at home mom. Looking forward to this goal I have set for 2013 and can't wait to see it all the way through.

    I'm new to this site today and 52 pounds will be almost where I want to be by this time next year. (Although, if I could get close to there by summer, that would be perfect!) I am excited to be working within a group to help stay on track. Happy New Year everyone!

    Good Evening...My name is Melissa (Mell) and I am a busy bee. I am currently going to school to get my Bachelors in Education (would love to teach Middle School English someday), subbing in two local school districts, teaching Sunday School, and trying to balance being a mother and wife in there somewhere...oh...and if I can fit it in keep the house going as well. Honestly, I love my busy life. :love:
    Over the years I have tried to lose weight and even been successful, but all that success seems to fly out the window when you are right back where you started. :frown: I am not quite at my heaviest but it is very close and I promised myself I would never go back there. I have a strong faith and am looking forward to this journey not only of weight loss and health improvement, but also growing closer to my God. I can't wait to enjoy what He has planned for me this year.
    Best wishes to everyone.
    Mell

    Hey everyone!
    I don't get a chance to come on here as often as I would like but will check in when I can..
    Unless I was getting into water and doing a volume test, I don't know for sure what I weigh! every scale I step on tells me different.. home scale tells me 229. Doc scale tells me 220.. gym scale tells me 225-230.. vet scale tells me 223! Ahh.. I do take pics before and during.. and also measurements. I'll have to rely on those more than scales!

    Hi, I found the MFP on my phone and down loaded the app and really like how it is so easy to keep track of what I eat and do. About a week ago I decided it is time to find the skinny me again. I need to loose abut 50-60 lbs and learn how to reach my goal.

    Hi! Just started keeping track of things this past Monday and figured joining a group would help me stay accountable. I'd love to get 52 pounds off before the end of the year. :)

    I'm a SAHM of a 3-year-old autistic boy. I've been married to the most incredible husband for almost 16 years. We live in NC and love it here (originally from IL).

    I'm excited to get started!

    :happy: Hello! Count me in for the challenge. I really started working on my weightloss the beginning of January. From 220 down to 204. I am 5'6" and I am aiming for 160 lbs. I turned 50 this past year and I need to get in shape for the rest of my journey. Have a great day! :wink:

    So, I've recently re-committed to losing weight. But this time I refuse to go for the quick fix. I plan to lose 1 lb a week until I reach my goal. Anything above that is just gravy. I am committed to making this a true lifestyle change and I will be down 20 lbs by new years. My goal is to lose 70 lbs to get to my ultimate goal. But I am taking my time and letting the weight come off the same way it came on...slowly. Thanks for starting this group. And allowing late-comers, like myself join in.

    Welcome to the group. 1lb a week is a great goal. I'm with you on that.
