    Hey Ya'll. I'm Jessica, I live in TX. Been on MFP for a while, just never consistently. Just started the Insanity program, and would really like to lose 20# by the holidays!! I'm at my heaviest non pregnancy weight ever. I lost about 10#, then got lazy, ate a bunch, and gained it all back. So, here's to the encouragement to lose the last 20-30#!!
    I'm SHORT, 5'0 on a good day. These 20 pounds will make a huge difference on me. I've taken my before pictures, and measurements, and am ready to go!

    Hi! I'm Robyn from San Diego, CA - I am SO ready to get rid of some LB's before the year is out!
    Current (as of 9/20): 174

    I've got more than the 20lb to lose long term but pushing hard to get close to my goal will feed my motivation to maintain and lose that last 5-10 lbs!

    I'm from Michigan. I am married and have 2 kids. I turned 40 last year. I am ready for this challenge and achieve this goal! I have more to lose then 20, but it will be a good start!
  • I'm new to this and would very much like your help/support towards reaching my goal weight.

    Aside from restricting my calories to 500/day on the HCG diet, I'm also working out about twice a day for about a half an hour to an hour a day (just crunches and some light cardio). Aside from working in an office and preparing my applications for law school, I do not really have much time to cook, so snacking has been a big issue for me.

    I hope that you are all well and I look forward to hearing of your weight loss journeys.

    Hi I'm Gailya from Olive Branch, MS (the Memphis TN area) 42 yrs old and I haven't been consistent with MFP simply because I try to do too much...I was logging on SparkPeople and keeping a written journal. Abit overwhelming... I lost about 20lbs last year and been stuck almost all of this year. I am an consistent exerciser but my food intake goes up and down. This sounds like a perfect challenge/motivation. Good luck to everyone.

    Hi Guys! I am from Los Angeles, and here are my stats.
    I am 32 years old and would love to lose 6-10 pounds of fat; 5'3"
    Current Weight 127lbs
    Goal Weight 118-120lbs

    I am having a really tough time staying away from chocolate, beer and emotional eating. I work out a ton, so I guess my focus is more Complex Carbs and Protein...less refined sugars.

    Hello, I'm Hex from Pa and I am a vegan having weight issues. I fluctuate but I would like to get down to at least 140 since that would be a good weight for my body structure and height. I'm starting at 177. We will see how this goes. I'm also an emotional eater.

    Hi! I'm Amanda from South Texas! Totally stalled right now - been hovering between 173-175 for 6 weeks! I've signed up for a Mud Dash in late November ( Really big in Texas y'all ). So its a motivation and losing that 20 pounds by then would be awesome! My overall goal has been to lose 30 lbs. ( from 180 to 150 ) - so 2 lbs/ week for 9 weeks huh? Time to hit the gym!

    Hey everyone!

    My name is Tracey and I am from Houston, TX. I had lost 45 pounds and over the summer I gained 10 pounds back. I have been slightly depressed and not that motivated. I am hoping to try and get my focus back on what I want so I can be confident when I graduate next year. To tackle these first 20 pounds would mean a whole lot to me. I think having to post my weight and have people to talk to would be just what I need to get my motivation back.

    sw=205
    cw=169
    gw=149

    Please feel free to add me! I would love to have a fitness buddy :)

    Hey Tracey! I am right there with you. I put on some of the weight I put on and am pretty unhappy that my then loose jeans are now snug.

    Awesome!!! I know that my ego and confidence SKYROCKETED after I had lost the weight. After I gained the ten pounds, I pretty much wanted to live in a hole. I want that confidence back so it's time to kick my behind into gear! I think it is just something that we will have to accept and move on from :)
  • I'm ready to do this....again. Been kind of under a disillusion of what's was going wih my weight. But some people from work got on this site last week and lost 2 lbs. So I decided to jump back in before they were bragging about losing 10lbs. Lately I have been trapped in a body that was starting to feel uncomfortable. I'm taking a realistic look at my body and where I want to be and I'm making a change. Now!

    Lets keep each other accountable then! Sounds like it will be easier since we have a similar goal and starting point.

    Hi I'm Bianca,

    MFP has been awesome for me, but I hit a rough patch, gaining back everything I lost, and haven't been able to recover. I want to get back on track, and this seems like a perfect opportunity.

    I'm really short (5'0") so not only do I put on weight easier and have a lower daily caloric maintenance level, I also lose weight at a much slower pace.

    CW: 103 lbs
    GW: 96
    UGW: 95 (healthy bmi for my height)

    This is going to be really great, but really tough. Good luck everyone, and let's keep encouraging each other! :)

    I am so ready to get started and stay started! I was in a group about 5 months ago and I was doing great, until my life took a turn that was not at all positive. I'm still struggling with some things but I know now that I am important and I deserve to take care of myself and make my weight loss a priority. Here's to the next 9 weeks....

    I will be so happy when I lose the first 20 lbs!!!!!!
  • Greetings from Texas! My name is Brandi. I created a MFP account a while back, but haven't actively used it so I'm extremely excited for the next 9 weeks.

    I'm not currently living a very active, healthy lifestyle so I'm hoping that this will turn me in the right direction.

  • Hello! :happy: I've has a MFP account for a while but haven't been using it. Lately I've been feeling unmotivated and I think other people who are also on a weight loss journey will keep me motivated.

    Hi, I'm Mollie from Alaska. I actually have something coming up in 9 weeks that I am aiming to lose some weight and flab for. I'm really glad that I happened onto this group tonight! I don' know if 20 lbs is realistic for me so... I am shooting for 10lbs through a healthy lifestyle and making myself exercise more :-) I've been logging for a year and I've lost 12 lbs, which may not seem like much to some folks on MFP but I will say that I am amazed at the difference in my appearance for only 12 lbs. I would be stoked to lose any amount of weight right now! :flowerforyou: I look forward to cheering each other on! Best wishes!

    Current weight:145
    Goal weight: 135 or whatever looks and feels best 9 weeks from now!

    Just found this site...good call people. I'm from the UK originally & have lived in NZ for the last 7 years. Last Xmas I went home to visit & for the few months beforehand I exercised like a demon twice a day at times, used MFP, ate really well etc. I lost about a stone or so before I went home (about 8kgs/18 lbs). However, cold English days and 4 weeks of catching up with friends and family, drinking, eating etc I put a little weight back on. I lost my mojo when I was back in NZ and have put most of the weight back on.

    Well, my parents are visiting in January & I need to see them in either the same state as last year or less!! I also need to get my clothes for summer back on and my nice jeans etc. I started getting serious again about a month ago, but a bout of flu, a stinky cold & some bad habits have scuppered me a little. I AM DETERMINED that this time it will stay off regardless, so I don't have to keep starting again! I love running and I hate the feeling of my skin moving separately from my body, like an afghan hound!!
