Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Everyone! For those of you who sent me a friend request I added you. I'm so excited to start this group. I started it because I need support and motivation too, because I have goals I want to accomplish by the end of the 5 weeks. Let's do this and kick some butt!! I'm happy to meet all of you!! I will tell you a little bit about myself. I'm from a small town in Ohio. Currently I'm working on an Associates Degree in Health Information Technology at a local college. I'm 52 years young, and I've struggled with my weight pretty much my whole life, so I understand the need for support, motivation as well as accountability. I'm also married with 2 grown children, 3 cats and tropical fish. Although it states a more recent time I joined MFP a couple of years ago. I enjoy meeting and making new friends. If there is anything I can do let me know. Have a great day!!

Hey all! So excited for this new group. I am rounding out Lisa's current 90 day challenge and it has been a great way for me to start my life-change. I met some great supporters through there too!
I'm Kellyann, 34 years old mother of a 5 year old and two cats lol. My boyfriend lives with us as well and he can pretty much eat whatever he wants without gaining weight...jerk! I'm currently just shy of 5'8 and about 193 lbs. My ultimate goal weight is around 155, but I would love to be in the 180's for Christmas!
I've had a few injuries/hiccups along the way, but my friends on MFP have given me the inspiration to keep on tracking and keep moving forward. I'm so excited to get in there and get it done!0 -

I feel hesitant because if I was to post a challenge I may not reach it and then I have to deal with failure again. :frown: I have issues you can tell that apparently do hold me back from giving it my all. I am working on getting around them ...somehow, like maybe by seeing others try, I will want to try, no matter what. I hope by getting more support in our group I will keep trying. Oh what the heck! I am in!
My Personal Challenge for next 5 weeks:
I will exercise an hour everyday.
I will eat under 1400 calories a day
Now I feel concerned

I'm glad that I stumbled upon this group! My name is Heather, and I am a very busy mom of two, working full time (50-60 hours/wk) in healthcare. Hubby stays home with my kids (4 1/2 and 19 mo). My weight loss efforts have STALLED despite me staying relatively active--mainly because my eating lately has been terrible!
As for my exercise regime I do zumba a couple times per week and I run. I ran a half marathon 11/3, but I'm going to stick to shorter distances (6 miles and under) for awhile.
My goals for the 5 week time period are to clean up my eating and drinking (I do enjoy my wine and beer!) and lose 5 pounds by the end of the challenge. So excited to join!!!0 -
Hi all! My name is Shelly and I am an eater. Holidays are the worse part because I LOVE CANDY & COOKIES! It starts off with my moms birthday and then my birthday, then Thanksgiving then Christmas and by January, I feel HUGE. I want to start getting healthier now so I can enjoy Holiday treats without the guilt. I'm a tad bit active but need to increase my activity level because I am just not seeing the results I need to see. Feel free to add me or yell at me. I will try not to cry over my chocolate!0

Hi! Welcome newcomers I'm happy to have you aboard. Hungry4change-Posting and supporting each other daily is part of the challenge. Eating right and exercising is a great challenge in itself. We will be here for each other. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone during the next 5 weeks. It's going to be a great challenge taking a lot of self-discipline because there is going to be alot of temptation, but WE GOT THIS!!0

Hey There !!
Just joined MFP today. I am a 26 year old Canadian female currently living in the UK. Looking to shed 10- 15 lbs by christmas and a bit more afterwards , hoping my slipped disc pain doesn't make a re appearance to kick me off track !
I love to cook and bake. Baking is my weak point, so if you all can support me in reducing my baked goodies intake and also how to substitute sweet cravings!
Looking forward to meeting new people here !0 -
Hello. My name is Beth. I am new to MFP, I have about 30 lbs left to loose on my weight loss journey. I am hoping to get down to 175 lbs by Christmas while still being able to enjoy the holiday food.

Hi yall! My name is Brittany, I am 22 years young and a stay at home mommy to a very energetic 2 year old boy. I was skinny pretty much my whole life (until I had him that is) I was 104 lbs (not healthy) pre pregnancy. I gained 30 lbs while I was pregnant and wheniI left the hospital post partum I was 118. Here it is 2 years later and I am 146 lbs(16 lbs more than my heaviest during pregnancy) I am 5'2" and not happy at all when I look in the mirror or at pictures of myself. I just want to gain my confidence back and feel like a sexy 22 year old (with a toddler) again. My ultimate goal weight is 120-125. I'd be happy to lose 10 lbs in the next 5 weeks and this looks like a lovely bunch to do it with and keep me motivated! If anyone wants to add me as a friend I am gladly taking request!0

Hi!! My name is Amy. I am a Canadian newlywed married to an American. These past few years have been interesting for me as I was diagnosed with hashimotos, hypothryoid and PCOS. It has made me very tired, emotional, unable to concentrate or control my weight. I've tried eating clean, I've hired a trained.. nothing. My old specialist had me on so amy meds that I shake my head at it now.. and he told me to eat 500-800 cals!!! I have since switched to a new dr who has me on 1600 and only one natural thryoid pill. During my battle, I gained 60+lbs..(on a 5 foot and a half frame). I don't feel like myself.. nor look like myself.. seriously.. people dont' recognise me. Sometimes, if I do see people I know, I will make a point to try to get out of the way so they won't see me because I'm so embarassed.
My husband and I just joined MFP. I am hoping that this wlll help me along with the new thryoid med.. so I can feel confident and like myself again.. so I can get regulated and try for a baby.
This group will help push me along the way. Feel free to msg me to keep you going and you can kick my bum so that I stay on track.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!! Good luck!! :blushing: :bigsmile: 0 -

My name is Christine. I have been a member before but I decided to cancel my account since I wanted to start fresh and I did not want competition but motivation from groups and friends.
I am a wife and mother of 3 children. I have a grandbaby that is 2 years old that I love dearly. I reside in the East Coast USA.
I am very realistic with my goals I have gained and lost and gained and lost weight but now that I am turning 50 next year, I feel that my goal is to be healthy and fit. I can't promise forever but I am trying one day at a time.
Age: 49
Height: 5'3
Weight: 168 lbs
Immediate goal is 155 lbs
Dream goal is 140
I am here NOT TO COMPETE, I just want motivation. I am also not here to prove that I am Wonder Woman or Super Girl. I am just me and I have nothing to prove.

Welcome! I'm happy that you decided to join my group. I don't want competition either. I've not had that issue with any groups I started and completed on MFP. Sorry that you had that issue. We are all here for each other to support, motivate and make each other accountable. If you scroll through the posts you will see a couple of individuals who have followed me over from a challenge I have ending soon. I look forward to getting to know you during the challenge and reading your posts. If there is anything I can do for you just send me a message or post on the boards. Have a nice evening.0

Hi everyone
I started losing weight a month ago - Seriously let myself go over the past year and now I'm trying to get back to my old shape and fitness level again.
I'd like to lose 6-7 more pounds by Christmas, basically 1lb per week. I have big problems with losing motivation and quitting, so mostly I'd just like to keep slowly trudging along with this weight loss instead of my usual "all or nothing" attitude.0 -
Hi, I am 31 years old, 5,7' almost 5,8' and I am currently weighing in at 189lbs. I have been overweight most of my life with the exception of my early twenties when I lost about 50lbs. I started university at 24 and gained 40lbs within a year, followed by me completely giving up and gaining some more weight slowly. My highest weight was 234.5lbs. I have one small holiday coming up over New Year's, and a month long holiday that spans from mid-January to mid-February. I want to focus on getting fit, and losing as much weight as possible before January 19 (beginning of my holiday). The fitter I am, and the less I weigh the easier it will be for me to engage in activities while I am on vacation.0
