I have 2 boys also and I delivered both in the 230 range lol. I am currently about 155 my goal is not necessarily a number but I want more muscle everywhere

My name is Jenell and I am a 38 and a mother of 4 kids. I got away from daily exercise and need a boost.I am 137.5lbs and would love to be 136 by the end of the month.

I am 36 years old, married for almost 17 years old, Yep married very young I have 2 beautiful, wonderful, smart, endearing teenagers. one boy and one girl. I also have a small poodle/shih Tzu dog that is my 3rd child and very spoiled. She will love this challenge more than anybody as she loves to walk. She helps keep me motivated because she gives me beg puppy dog eyes every day to go for a walk. My goal is to lose 10 pounds per month, until I weigh around 142 pounds.

Hello, My name is Sherri I will be 40 in November (can't believe it) my goal is to lose weight and tone. The only thing about me and exercise is that we are not the best of friends, I am a very big procrastinator when it comes to exercising. I am hoping this challenge will push me to do what I have to do to get to where I want to be and that is at a comfortable weight.
Weight now 166.1

Hi, I'm 56 and about 264 pounds (I only weigh once a month, so I'm not due to weigh in again until the end of October, but I'll try to weigh in tomorrow (Saturday) to see if there's been any change. Waist is 42 inches (it's the only thing I measure, although, I know I've lost inches from my hips/thighs since my pants are baggier).

I started MFP in August. Tried my first challenge then (24 hours of exercise in 30 days). I didn't get to the 24 hours, but I think it helped me get fit for the next challenge., because I did an awful lot of walking! I feel like this challenge is more doable for me. It takes me 15-20 minutes to walk a mile, so I feel like I can break it up and do 20 minutes before work and 20 minutes during lunch. If not, there's a 1 mile "heart smart" walking trail close to my house, so I can walk that after work (until it starts getting dark).

Only problem is I'll be traveling the 15th and 16th, and I know it will be hard for me to get two miles (I'm not comfortable going for walks in cities I'm not familiar with), so I'll have to make that up when I get back.

Oh, and I should add, I do the Curves workout 2-3 times a week, after work. Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone! I'll be 37 next month and between having Canadian Thanksgiving, American Thanksgiving, my 15th year anniversary, a lot of birthdays and celebrations coming up I have decided to step up my workouts a little more. I'm maintaining and my goal is not to put on any additional weight during these next 3 months especially with all of the extra temptations that will be around!

Walking is my main form of cardio and I do it 6 days per week. I like walking outdoors on a school track for 2 - 3.5 miles and I also a big fan Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos (I own over 55 videos!) and I do Jessica Smith's walking videos on YT. I am also doing T25 workouts (in the Alpha phase), I lift weights and do Pilates.

Good luck guys!

This sounds like a great plan! I have recently joined a gym and will be walking for cardio. I would like to eventually lose 35 pounds in the next year. I want to look great for my sister's wedding. My biggest challenge is limiting calories.

I'm 27 years old, 5 foot 6 inches and weigh 190.


Nice to meet you all!

Hello, I'm Kimberly and 29. Currently engaged and have a sit down job that has caused me to start gaining more weight. I want to get back into shape and down to 130. I enjoy walking because I really like to do relay walk races like Portland to coast, cascade lakes, and Sandpoint to Cour de Alene relay.

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I will be 32 next month. I work, go to school full-time, am a mom to three boys, and wife to a pretty lucky guy. This means I rarely have time to work out, but this sounds perfect and the boys can come with me. I weigh 165lbs, down from 205 in January. My goal is 135lbs, but I'd like to be down to 155 by the end of this challenge.

My name is Bev I am 49 ... I am about to launch a new business and I just want to be healthy and in shape; spirit, mind and body. I want to be down 20lbs to start by Christmas!

Hey all, Rosa here! My goal is to have my weight go down consistently... I dont want to put an exact number on it. I always lose a pound then end up gaining 5, lol. If I could just get my weight to go down and stay on the decline (of course allowing the daily fluctuations) I would be very happy...lol

Hi I am 58 yrs old and live just outside Edinburgh in Scotland. I am nearly at maintainance now but want to drop bodyfat%. I love walking with my border collie and this challenge will help make me walk everyday.
Looking forward to meeting you all over the next month.
Good luck:flowerforyou:

I had WLS a couple of years ago and have done well with my weight loss and overall fitness. But lately I have been lazy and have not been losing as planned. I like to walk and had been good about a daily walk at my gym. But, my membership is up, and I am a victim of the government shutdown. But, the good news is that I have plenty of places to walk. Such as just outside my house. I do better when I am accountable. So, I'm on board and think I'll start in the morning tomorrow.

Hi! I'm 32 years old, SAHM with 3 kids and 75lbs to lose. Looking forward to this challenge and it shouldn't be too hard seeing as how it's EXACTLY 2 miles around my neighborhood.

Hello,
I'm looking forward to this challenge, because I only decided about a week ago that I should be able to fit in at least 20 minutes of walking, everyday, no matter how tired or busy I am.
Goal: to create a habit to walk at least 20 minutes every day - which for me currently equates to 2km (1.4 mi). I'm sure I can find the time to walk an extra 10 minutes to get me to a total of 3.2km (2mi). I'm more concerned at this point to make it a daily habit :happy:
