So I figured it'd be cool to get to know eachother all in one place! So...I'll start!

Name: Emily
Age: 26
State/Country: Cincinnati, OH (USA)
Favorite Exercise: Walking
Favorite Go To Snack: Frozen Grapes (I'm loving them and it's easy to store and go in mason jars)
Reason For Losing Weight: To prove to my ex that he infact IS missing the best thing ever! hahaha...no but for real because I want to be able to live longer and live a healthy life. I also want to be able to be able to run after my nieces and nephew (I have a 9 year old nephew, a three nieces--5, 19 months, and 7 months...plus 1 on the way--and more to come probably in the future!)

    Favorite Exercise: I need variety - currently I'm walking & running outside, using the various cardio machines at the gym (treadmill, elliptical, bike, rowing machine), doing Pilates, doing Zumba, and strength training. If I could find a good Yoga class that fit into my schedule I'd be doing that too.

    Reason For Losing Weight: tired of being unhealthy, tired of not being able to find clothes that fit me well, tired of being tired

    Favorite excercise: weightlifting, but I don't do it as often as I'd like. I only have small amounts of time to work out, and I've found that running and videos (such as 30 day shred) help me tone all over more than lifting does. But it's what I enjoy the most. :)
    Favorite go to snack: cheddar cheese, whole wheat crackers and turkey pepperoni
    Reason for Losing Weight: Confidence - I don't want to feel self conscious around anyone. I want to look good in short shorts, tank tops and cute dresses. I also want to look hot for my husband. :smile:

    Bumping this. I see a few of the Sunday weigh-ins are still pinned so this got dropped down. I'd love to hear from more people in the group!

    My favorite exercise??? Are you kidding me, how do you think I got obese? By not liking exercise of course! But let me go hunting and fishing, I'm happy, yea they're sports not exercises, but that's as close as you're going to get me liking exercise!
    Favorite snack, Yuengling Premium, not the Lager. --- you didn't specify if it hadda be a healthy snack.

    Age: 28

    State/Country: New Orleans, LA (USA)

    Favorite Exercise: channel surfing and 12oz. curls, but I force myself to do the elliptical.

    Favorite Go To Snack: cottage cheese over a sliced peach

    Reason For Losing Weight: I started to noticie I wasn't turning as many heads...lol
    Also, I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue, and I really don't want to be on medicine for the rest of my life. Before I even filled the script, I wanted to completely change my lifestyle to see what impact I could make without meds. I've cut way back on drinking, forced myself to get more rest at night and more physicial activity daily, and have lost some weight in the process. Generally, with the changes I've made, I had been feeling a lot better. However, I'm actually going to the doctor this afternoon, because I've started to feel very run down again and having some of the same sypmptoms I had before the intial diagnosis. Hoping all my labs come back normal - I'll just keep my fingers crossed and keep doing what I'm doing!
