Hi! I'm Vicki. I currently weight 155. Just a few months ago I weighted 145 so to say I've slacked off is an understatement. I've never been very active. I work as a legal secretary so I spend ALOT of time sitting down. I recently started weight lifting and I think in my mind that gave me the "go ahead" to eat whatever I wanted. NOT TRUE!

My ultimate goal weight is 135 but I'd be happy with just getting back into the tons of clothes I have in my closet that are too small for me.

Hello All,

My name is Anaisha. I'm 37yrs old, my current weight is 198pounds and I am looking forward to losing 20 pounds by Christmas. I workout 5 days per week but seem to have hit a plateau. I'm determined to conquer this weight and live a healthy life.

Hello Everyone!

Im Jennifer and 32 years old. I have never been thin and would love to know how it feels!

6 years ago I was at my lowest weight then met my bf and gained 40 of it back. I had lost it again then went back to school then since 2009 I have been maintaining between 10 pounds.

I recently lost my job. One benefit of it is that im making time for me!

Currently I am on my second week of T25 and starting monday I will be doing a 90 day body transform challenge at a local bootcamp.

Hi everyone!

My name is Sarah and I'm 26. I started at 263 in May, am currently 244. My goal is 130. I'm a psychology student.

Been on a plateau for over a month as I was sick and then I injured my knee and ankle doing all the jumping around in 30 day shred! Not been able to exercise for nearly two weeks and its driving me nuts! I really need the support to help motivate me as I normally work out 5 or 6 days a week and until my injury heals I have to rely solely on diet to lose the weight.

Looking forward to losing 20lbs and being able to get a nice outfit in a smaller size for christmas!

Hi Group!
I'm Melissa, 29yr, I work full time at a desk job and I have two beautiful little girls. I need to refocus on my health. I currently weigh 175 and my goal is to weigh what I did on my wedding day, 145, seems staggering to imagine. I think joining this group will give me the kick in the butt I truly need to stay on track. I love mfp, and I love intense workouts like kick boxing, my biggest challenge is combining the healthy eating with the exercise. Thanks for creating this group, I can't wait to look fabulous in a christmas party dress this year!

Hello everyone. My name is Heather, I am 37 and on the Oregon Coast. I am 5'3'' and weigh 145. Would love to get to 125 by Christmas. This time last year I was training for my second half-marathon and tore my gluteus medius (yep! I broke my @ss). I have just started back running and am on the second week of Couch to 5k. I am walking a half marathon (the one I planned to run last year when I injured myself) on October 13th in Vancouver, Washington. It is called the Girlfriends Half and if anyone else lives close come join!!. The end of this month I start beginning rock climbing at the community college with my husband.
My big triggers are wine (and here soon eggnog) and breads. I am sooo glad this group came out at such a great time for me. It is just the motivation kick I was needing!
Anyone that would like feel free to add me as a friend as well

Hello all! My name is Rachel and I am 29 years old. I live in NYC. I am 5'2 and currently 158lbs. I started at 169lbs which was my heaviest weight and lost weight slowly over the course of this year. I want to commit to this for a lifetime. I am a house wife and not really active at times. I have a really bad binge'n and overeating habit that I wish to break out of. I do a majority of different workouts right now. I hope we can all motivate one another to reach our weight loss goals!

If anyone lives near me or we are similar in height/weight, please definitely friend me!

I will friend anyone though.

Good-luck everyone!

Hi y'all! I'm Kathy. I'm a Gemini (thought I'd throw that one in there), 5' tall, 60 years old, married to a slightly younger man who is 6'4", have 2 adult children (3 if you count my SIL), a 4 year old granddaughter, and four large, male, canine fur babies.

I'm about halfway to my goal of losing 130 lbs. My ultimate goal is to weigh 125 lbs. I weigh 193.5 right now. I've lost 61 lbs. so far, but haven't been motivated to lose since March. I'm ready to get this show on the road! I'm looking forward to getting the last of my weight off so my bones and joints can get some relief. I'm going to spend my 60s as a sexy, sixty year old, senior citizen. I only became overweight after having children, stopping the strenuous activity levels, and eating man-sized portions.

My body has had a physically tough life. I was a gymnast well into my 40s and I also coached up until 2006. Coaching took its toll on my body as well. I bought myself a 15 foot square trampoline for Mother's Day of 2013 and can still do back handsprings on it. Yeah, I'm still a daredevil. Once a gymnast, always a gymnast. I haven't bounced much this summer for several reasons, but mainly because of my job (working til dark), the heat down here, and the daily afternoon thunderstorms. I've also had some ongoing orthopedic problems that keep haunting me, including scoliosis. See my profile.

I went back to school at age 50 and got a B.S. Degree in Collaborative K-6 Special Education just before the bottom fell out of the economy. There was a hiring freeze 3 months before graduation, so I couldn't work as a teacher. I finally got a job as a QDDP, Qualified Developmental Disability Professional, but lost that job late last month. I'm applying with my State Dept. of Education to get a job as a teacher. There are a few openings now. I'm 60 and will start a new adventure soon, I hope.

I look forward to getting to know y'all. LET'S ROCK THIS CHALLENGE!

Hello everyone and welcome!!!

My name is Heidi, I'm a 40 year old mother of 2 amazing boys. I am really active, I commute to work by bike everyday, run a couple times a week, and walk at my lunch hour on most days. My CW is 160, up 15 pounds from May of this year, EEK! My ultimate goal is to weigh 135, but really I'd just like to be comfortable in my clothes, right now they are TIGHT!

I really need support and like the idea of having a weigh in day. Good luck to everyone and let's lose 20 pounds by Christmas!

Thanks for starting this group! I was in a similar group last year and I did really well. I have been slacking and I need something like this to motivate and get my butt in gear!

Hello everyone! I am Sandy....59 yrs young. Live in New Jersey. I was a yo-yo dieter all my life and now have T2 diabetes. Have done pretty well here on MFP but have slid back into some bad habits. I really only need to lose 10 pounds to get to goal but probably 20 to really be satisfied with my body. I looked pretty good last Christmas....this year, I want to look fabulous!

Good luck to everyone.....and let's DO THIS!!!
