    This is GREAT! I just joined myfitnesspal today with the help of a friend! I would love to join the 12 week program.
    I'm Christina and I am from Delaware. I got laid off from my job in early February so no in between searching for a new job I should have some time to exercise and take better care of myself!

    I'd LOVE to do this. I'd love to have 15 pounds gone by then, that would bring me down to 174. Then I'd like to have another 15 gone by September, my goal weight of 159, total lost of 140

    I just started using MFP this week. I would love to join, I can use all the help I can get. I've been trying to lose the last 15 lbs. for over a year but the scale won't budge. Thanks for offering to help!

    I'm keen! I'm 156lb at the mo. Want to get back to 147. It got there Dec 2012 but then Christmas happened, a damaged foot from new year training and 2 nasty colds! I'm just getting back into training and I'm back on MFP with gusto! Your week 1 suggestions are great - I'm going to concoct a Rainbow Salad (I think I've got most colours covered!). I look forward to being inspired by you and the others on this feed.

    Hi. My name is Megan. I am up for a 12 week challenge. I am 3 weeks into MFP at this point and have lost 11 lbs. I am about to enter a very stressful 6 weeks of my life- studying and preparing to take my boards to become a Nurse Practitioner while working full-time as an ER nurse (which doesn't allow for the best eating/nutrition environment- always on the go and running around and starving for hours at times). I look forward to any insight you have about nutrition and exercise, but also how to make it a priority while there are other major things going on in life that may revert people to emotional eating and fatigue. Look forward to hearing from you.

    Sounds great. I have changed the way I was eating about 2 weeks ago and while the scale has gone down some, I find I need a little challenge and camaraderie to help along the way. Let's GO!

    I'm in!

    I'm Pear - I've been with MFP for a few months now and did loose a bit of weight initially, but lost my motivation for a while. But it's back and I'm ready to get back on track! I currently way somewhere between 130-140 pounds, and my goal for the next 12 weeks is to get as close to 120 as I can (but really, all I care about is looking better in a swim suit.) Looking forward to meeting you all and seeing you achieve your goals!

    Count me in! It will be my first time in a 'group'. I'm 50 yrs, 5'7", SW:152, CW:146, GW:136. I'm looking to lose the excess around my middle, hips and thighs. Also to improve my cardio and lower body. I work out at home and when it's not icy I walk, run and bike outside. Today is my 40th day on MFP. Thanks for the encouragement!

    I'm in - thanks for doing this!

    I have had trouble losing and keeping weight off since I quit smoking in 2009, but I'm determined to keep a healthier lifestyle. I had been working out 3 to 4 days a week, but life got in the way and I fell off the bandwagon.

    Part of my issues with weight is the changes due to my age. I'm 49, soon to be 50. Things slow down for sure at that age but I refuse to allow that to be an excuse. I'll just have to be more patient and work harder. No excuses.

    I'm at an all time high weight of 158 with an ultimate goal weight of 135. I'm 5'4".

    Really looking forward to this! Thanks again!

    I'm joining the group as well! I'm in a wedding in October as maid of honor and want to loose about 25 pounds before then. I have some friends who work out with me but they don't seem as serious about it as I do, so I decided to join an online group. This seems do-able.
