    I'd like to join too!
    I have no idea how much I weigh but my clothes are tight from a summer of eating and drinking! I am guessing somewhere in the 120's. I want to be able to fit in my clothes comfortably again. For me this ideal weight would be around 118, so guess I need to lose about 5-8 lbs. I need some motivation.

    I am in! I need something to hold me accountable and I believe this is it!

    SW-163
    Goal: 155

    I WILL login to MFP each day; work out 4-5 times a week doing cardio; and at least 3x a week strength.

    I would like to fit back into my clothes comfortably as I refuse to buy new clothes because of where I have put myself.

    Cool! I could use some accountability!

    Note: I am short so my numbers will look low to the average taller person, no worries well within my healthy BMI range. It also means it takes me about two weeks to lose a pound -.-

    SW: 100.6
    GW: 98
    Personal: Work out a clean eating routine, and maybe get my head around meal planning!

    I'd like to join as well.

    SW: 159
    GW: 125

    I have to lose 34 pounds for health reasons. I have been a member of MFP for a couple of years but I keep losing motivation. I did better at sticking to my goals when I did challenges and when I tracked my eating and exercise.

    Therefore, my self-challenge is to:

    1. Drink 8 glasses of water daily
    2. Break the sugar habit
    3. Exercise at least 20 minutes per day on 4 different days
    4. Eat 3 servings of fruit or veggies everyday.
    5. Not eat anything after 8p.m.
    6. Track everything I eat.
    7. Not go over my daily calorie limit unless I am willing to make it up through additional exercise. (Exercise is hard for me as I have fibromyalgia and frequently hurt when I exercise in the beginning, though the pain lessens a lot after my body gets used to exercise -- it takes about 2 weeks).

    Looking forward to this challenge! Good luck to all who enter!
