Hi I'm Ag . I don't need today lose a heap of weight . My goal and focus is on being consistently healthy in my exercise and in my eating. I have been lazy and very inconsistent in the past year and I just want to be firm fit and strong again. So I need all the help and support I can get.

Oh I forgot to mention I'm from Australia too

Hi everyone,

I'm Elma. I'm just finishing up my PhD and need to get motivated to be healthy again. This looks like it will be a lot of fun! Oh, and I'm from Canada.

Hi everyone,
I am working towards losing about 75 pounds. I love challenges and camaraderie in this journey and I look forward to a journey to a healthier me with others who are also looking to lead more healthy lives. I have lost 15 pounds since March and am beginning to ramp up my mileage to train for a marathon this fall as well as my first irongirl triathalon. I will take motivation and inspiration from any direction and promise to support you all as well!
LET'S DO THIS!

Good morning! My name is Beth and I'm Assistant camp director and counselor for Cabin 3. I just turned 49 (sigh). I live on a farm in Kansas where we raise cattle and a handful of horses. I have three sons and my "baby" just graduated from high school. The empty nest is rapidly approaching and I refuse to let it get the best of me!

I really appreciate these challenges because it adds a bit of accountability and some healthy competition, which is something I need to keep me going. Thanks, Donna, for this awesome challenge idea and ! GO CABIN 3!

Hi everyone

My names Debbie and I live in the uk.

I'm fast approaching my big 50 birthday, and I'd like to be healthy,fit and toned by my birthday (July)

Hey everybody! My name is Kande and I live in East Texas. I started MFP back in Feb of this year and love- love- love it! It is the best support group I have ever had. I am 41 years old and decided that it was time for a change if I wanted to be around for my kiddos as long as possible. Been married for coming up 21 years next week. Have 2 boys- 14 and 11.
I started at 250 lbs in Feb and have lost 32 lbs so far- my goal is to lose 115 lbs so I am on my way!
I love the challenges, they keep me from getting bored. Look forward to summer camp with you guys!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

My name is Tennille I am from Hartsville, SC born and raised, but now resides in Charlotte, NC. I am a mother of two (Tristan-girl-6yrs and Trenton-boy-2yrs) and fiance'. I enjoy traveling, photography, and time w/family. I need to lose weight for my family and health due to my height and family mecial history. I love to exercise and even more to eat for comfort. I know with this boot camp everything will fall into place. Good luck and have fun my fellow campers!!!

Hi everyone,

My name is Jen and I am from Wisconsin. My goal this summer is complete my first BIG goal of losing 100 pounds (only 6 to go) and challenges such as these help to keep me motivated.

Hi, I'm Prajna! Originally from Maui, Hawaii I now live in Southern California with my husband, five kids (ages 9-19), 19 chickens, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and rabbit. My favorite color is purple and favorite food is pineapple. I like to read, garden, hike, run (slowly), listen to music, and hang out with my family. I love God and, more importantly, I know He's crazy about me!

For me, getting in shape is a perk of overcoming my issues with food addiction, not the goal. My real goal is not to rely on food for comfort and reward. Of course, being in better shape will allow me to start running again. I also want to break the cycle of food addiction in my family and getting healthy will be a good example for my five kids and will make it more likely that I will be around to see my grandkids. I've lost the weight before, but when I suffered a foot injury last year and had to give up running I got depressed, pigged out, and gained it all back. I'd love to get back into running again, but my weight puts too much of a strain on my body to handle it. Right now I'm working on my food addiction in Celebrate Recovery and this seems like a great tool for me to hold myself accountable and avoid the denial.

I've been looking for some fun accountability. I need to lose a total of 60 lbs to get into a healthy BMI range. So far I'm 16 lbs down since December when I really started focusing on changing my habits. This seems like a fun group, and I like the idea of weekly challenges that are fun, not food, related.

BTW, I'm having trouble adjusting my ticker, so the "pounds to go" on it is my goal for the month of June.

Hi Everyone,
I just joined this group, so I appreciate you letting me in. This morning I weighed in at 238.3. When I started MFP in December 2012, I weighed 284, so I am happy with my progress, so far. It took me a while to celebrate my weight loss, as I was so scared that it would come back. I am finally at a point where I can celebrate all the hard work I have done to get to where I am now, and know I still have a long way to go.
These groups have really helped keep me in check, so thank you for putting this together for the summer. I am in the Soprano's, so that will be starting back up when this one ends.
My goals for this summer is to get as close to 220 as possible. I just got back from vacation and gained close to ten pounds, but most of it was water weight - my feet and legs were very swollen. I got that off and a little more in the week I have been back.
Thanks again for starting this group to keep me in line this summer!

Hi everyone.

I'm Jody. I'm a 36 year old mother of two under 4. My partner works 60-90 hours a week (yeah. A week) so for the most part I'm doing it all on my own. It hard.

I'm here because I need to find a support system as my partner really doesn't want to hear anything about it.

Anyway...

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you more!

My name is Karen and I live in Pennsylvania. I have lost some weight, but I need to lose more and tone muscle. I don't want to give up so I need motivation to keep me going.
