Hi my name is Kathy. I am 43 years old with 3 kids, 26, 24 and 13, looking to lose about 25 pounds. I LOOOOVVVVEEEE food. I started to seriously monitor my calories in and out and notice a huge difference. I am excited about this journey.

Hi Everyone... I'm Dianna from Ontario Canada. My highest weight was 285 and now I'm sitting at 258 My first goal is to be under 250, second goal is 199, my third goal is 175 then I will let my body decided where it would like to be (150 ish). I'm 38 yrs young and can't remember the last time I was under 200 pounds for more then a day. I'm single and need to get back out into the dating world. I love being active, and this challenge will for sure help me to get out and move more!

Hi! My names Laura and I live in Illinois. I am a mother of 5 and full time college student. My current weight is 225.2 and 1st goal is 180. I have lost about 35 lbs since February this year and hoping to keep this going. With school starting for both me and the kids, I am really hoping this challenge will keep me on track.

Hello all, my name is Cassie and I am from Northwest Minnesota. I am currently at 196 after losing about 20lbs. My goal is to get down to 160 or so. I love giving and recieving motivation and support! Sometimes I want to be lazy, but I remind myself this is a journey, a long one that will change me forever, for the better!

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel, I am 30 and I am from Georgia. I am a mom to two little girls and I work fulltime, so getting my exercise in can be tough. This challenge is just what I need to push myself to do some form of exercise each day.

Hey there! My name is Holly. I live in Southern California. I have two children, ages 10 and 2 (almost) I currently weigh 183.6 and my goal is 165-169. I'm 5'11" so that would be a good weight for me. I work full time at a desk job so I'm really nervous about this challenge but a challenge isn't meant to be easy. I am up for it and I am up for finding out what exercises will give me the highest burn in the shortest amount of time. I only have so much time after work and want to enjoy my children's company before bed.

I used to be really lazy. I rejoined MFP about 7 weeks ago and have since lost 11lbs (my info says over 30lbs b/c I originally joined shortly after having my second child but I didn't really log or do anything. Since rejoining I walk so much now. It realy isn't difficult at all. My kids enjoy being out with me and it is nice.

I can't wait to get to know all of you. Please feel free to friend request me.

Hi, I'm Liza, and I live in Central New York. I am currently at 219 lbs, but want to get down to 145. I'm 5'7", so not that tall like some 5'9" women, but not very short either. I've been on and off the calorie-counting wagon for many times over the past several months, but I've joined a few challenges, so I hope this is what I need to get started for good again.

I'm a student looking to go into physics and engineering (and - don't say anything - living with my parents), so my 'job' isn't exactly physical. But I'm trying to take this summer to really get back into it, for good. Once I lose, like, 20 pounds or something, that will be my inspiration, not wanting to gain that back. But I haven't yet. I will, though, and this group may be just what I need.

I also have two ankle injuries that won't heal, so I can't do very much strenuous exercise, but I can do more light exercise for the same burn! Not as good, I know, but it's what I can do.

I can't wait to get to know you all.

Be warned, not to be sexist, but I don't accept many friend requests from men, so please ask me before you friend me, and don't be offended if I say 'no'. Any woman who has a lot in common with me, feel free to friend me. Please just send a message with it. Thank you!

Hey everyone!!

I'm Erica and I'm 22 years old. I'm so exited to start this challenge that I already started yesterday lol! Exercise makes me feel GREAT it's the eating I struggle to get under control. I'm currently 186-187lbs and my first goal is to get down to 175. I think my ultimate goal would be to get down to my lowest adult weight of 165lbs (maybe 169ish) I looked really thin (I'm 5'10 with a larger frame) but I didn't work out like I do now when I was that weight so I'm hoping ill look even more amazing when I get there!

My weight loss goal for August is to reach 180 point something. Even if its 180.9! I'd still be soooo happy. I will also be trying to limit my sweets to one day a week. This is very very very difficult for me because I am ADDICTED to eating sweets and treats. I know that with this challenge an really cracking down on what foods I choose I WILL make my
Goal for August 31st.


Feel free to friend me :-)

Hello! I've been doing JM's 30 Day Shred this month and entered Level 3 yesterday. I've been working hard, but have only seen a 2 pound weight loss so far. I'm eating clean and healthy and exercising 5 days a week (and sometimes 7), but I'm just not seeing the scale move. I will be taking my measurements again at the end of Level 3 and hope to see some changes there. I think this challenge will be good for me to focus on burning more calories than I consume. It's motivating for me to know each day I am accountable to log in and share my daily success/failure. Wow! 500 calories a day doesn't seem like much, but to a busy mom it can be a bit daunting. I'm here to give it my best shot. It will only profit me in the long run. Kudos to one and all for putting your health first!

Hey
My names Sara I like in West Texas right now. Last weigh in was 214, got about 54 lbs in total left to lose. Hoping this will help that go a bit faster since progress has been slow these past few weeks. I start back to school towards the end of August so hopefully that won't screw up my last week or so of this challenge

I'd like to drop quite a bit of my weight by my birthday( Dec. 20th)
