In 5 months to come Im going on a cruise and I so wish I would be able to wear bikini by that time....been fat for a very long time.

    I'm in! Last year on mfp, I lost over 30 lbs, and was down to 132! Which was within my goal, this year I have gained over half of that back. (yuck) Due to eating more junk food and not working out!
    What works for me is tracking! And lifting weights is essential! in addition to the cardio for calorie burn
    So today,

    Looks like we have an awesome group with lots of flava!! (that means many different states and countries!)

    Not sure how many people will be in the group, but I think we should have a group goal as well. 2,000 pounds or something like that. How cool would it be if we lost a TON (literally) as a group. :)

    I didn't post a goal weight on last post.

    So...

    I've lost this 60 pounds twice before. When I do it again (and I will within a year) this time it is staying off!! 20 pounds in 9 weeks. I got this!

    Hi,
    I'm Nicole. I've been on MFP for a looonngg time and had success initially but have not been doing so well for the last year. I really need to get my butt into gear to loose at least 50lbs! I work full time and just started a Masters degree so I find myself slacking with counting calories.

    Wow, reading through everyone's introductions has gotten me really excited about this group! My name is Jen and I am a California girl who is currently living in London and missing the sunshine. I have a long way to go, but this group should provide the jump start I need.

    Hi! I'm Jillian, and I'm still figuring out MFP (and all the acronyms! :). I put on weight 5 years ago, because of medication. I'm still struggling, and have done SO many crash and popular diets. I finally decided to learn about good, old-fashioned, calorie counting & found MFP.
    One of my goals is to get back my sense of portion size. I was never able to gain weight before the medication gain, so, it's like Eating 101 at age 34! :P

    Hi, im Cherisse form the West Indies, first time back on today after 3 months and saw this group. The pic caught my attention and after reading the info, i though it wold be the PERFECT motivator and support i needed. I was watching MY BIG FAT REVENGE on Oxygen yesterday and was like if these girls can do it then why cant I. I've tried soooo many times, and fell off the wagon. Hoping that this time i will remain consistent , not give up, and reach my goal weight/size. Looking forward to the support.

    Will confirm my stats in the morning. But it should be around 185-187.

    Hi, all!

    I'm new on MFP... just moved from NYC to Miami, and I'm looking to get back in shape and start fresh in a new place. I was sick for about 10 years with celiac, and now that I'm diagnosed and healing, I want to shed all the weight I gained being sedentary and comfort-eating. I have about 13 lbs. total to lose, but I'm desperate for accountability.

    SW: 114.5
    GW: 102

    My biggest issue is being honest enough to log my food! Looking for a buddy, too.

    :) Thanks!

    Hi everyone! I'm Jody and I just gave birth to my daughter 4 months ago. I've started working out and keeping track of my meals to try and drop some baby weight. I don't know if I'll be able to drop a full 20 lbs in 9 weeks (I'm still nursing), but I definitely think this will help kick start my weight loss (and hopefully get me into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes by the holidays).
