My name is Emilie, I'm a mother of 2 from Ontario canada. If your like me you have great plans to lose weight and work really hard in the begining but never reach your goal. So I decided to start this group so that we can all encourage each other every single step of the way. I have some great ideas for this group to keep it fun soo keep coming back!

My ultimate goal would be to get down to 115-120 pounds and and be fit and strong.

    Hi. I'm Michelle.

    My goal is to exercise more. I don't need to drop pounds as much as I need to get my muscles in shape. I like yoga and stretching, walking and bike riding.

    Hi my name is Yessi.

    My goal is to lose 30 lbs before my 40th b-day in April. I actually would probably settle for 20lb loss but am aiming high....

    I want to be fit and fabulous as I turn 40. I have done this whole losing weigh thing so many times I am tired of it. But I can't keep gaining weight. I have gained 15 lbs in the last year. It is horrible.

    Hi everyone! Thanks for the group.

    My name is Jamie, and my goal is to get back to kicking my own butt again. I started Insanity at the beginning of September and a really bad cold in mid-October put me on the sidelines for a couple of weeks. Now I can't get back into my groove. I've also been eating like I am working out but not logging 100% which caused me to go from having 3 pounds to go to having 8 pounds to go. People say I'm harder on myself than I am on anyone else, so I need to start doing that again!

    So I want to finish round one of Insanity, start round two, get back to lifting weights, and start running! The running would be new to my repertoire, but it sounds like it would be a fun thing to try.

    Good luck everyone :)

    Hi, living in France not a big network of friends here, I desperately want to step up fitness, No gym or anything nearby although im lucky to have a pool in the summer months.

    I have 2 small dogs so I could use them as my exercise buddies for walking

    10 years ago and 42lb lighter I used to walk 5miles a day and go to the gym so I know it can be done again.

    Today is my first day and I need to loose at least 28lb by next August - a very doable target I know but as the months pass the time is getting shorter.

    :smile:

    Hi Everyone,
    My name is Anita and I live in Maine. I'm 29 years old and my goal is to lose 40 lbs by the time I turn 30 next June. Ive gained 30 lbs in 1 year, probably from stress of planning my wedding and school, so I would love to lose that 30 lbs plus 10 more! I'm so excited to be in this group and to read about everyone else's goals. This will motivate me even more. :)

    Hi all,
    I was doing so well over the summer but routines changed when I went back to work in the fall, kids went back to school, ya da ya da ya da, and alas, fell off the wagon. I need to lose around 50lbs. I have my work cut out for me and really need help staying on track.

    Hi everyone. I joined MFP to lose weight, to live better. Instead, somehow, I gained 22lbs since January. I am scared that I can't lose weight and keep it off. I am scared of continuing to fail. My family is going on vacation in 1 year. I want to lose 50lbs before we go. I can't walk 1/2 a mile without being so winded I feel like I am going to pass out. Please help me be accountable and I will return the favor! I have no friends on here so if anyone wants to add me feel free.

    My goal is to lose about 50lbs by this time next year. I want to do it right and have it stay off. I've lost about 35lbs so far.

    Good luck to those doing marathons and half marathons! I did 2 5K's at the beginning of this year and I'm back on track for training for another 2 5K's this coming Jan and Feb. I really like the Couch to 5K app on the phone - it's free and fun - give it a try ;) and again Good Luck!!

    HI...I'm Jen. My Goal is drop 15 lbs.... and break thru this plateau I've been at for 6 FRINKIN' MONTHS! :explode: I've been within 5 lbs for 6 months... I've upped my workouts but (to be honest) I haven't been consistent! My plan is to make a workout schedule for 3 months and see if I get results.... I think consistency is key for results.

    Hi, everyone. My name is Renee and I live in Ontario. Since mid-September I have really made an effort to get back into shape. I have lost about 20 lbs since then and would like to lose another 20 by the spring. I have not cut out junk food entirely, but have really tried to eat much better. Most of my exercise up until now had consisted of long walks everyday. Now that the weather has started to get colder, I decided I would join a gym. I am hoping that this will keep me from gaining weight over the winter months and keep me moving towards my goal.
    Good luck all.

    Hello everyone! My name is Christina and I live in Arizona. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree and looked at my graduation photos. WOW! Is all I could say when I saw those. After looking at those pictures, I realized it's really time to get back on track. I know we are our own worst critics, but come on that is a little ridiculous. I would really like to start off with 2 goals by losing 20 lbs and working out at least 3 times a week. I have hypothyroidism so I do have a difficult time, but I don't want that to be my excuse anymore either.
    Thank you for starting this group because I know I needed this boost! I greatly appreciate it! :)

    Hello Everyone, My name is Sonya. I'm a 30 years old stay at home mom with 3 boys. I've started countless plans, but fall short after a while. So I would have to say my ultimate goal is to stay motivated. I've never joined a group before always felt a little nervous, but maybe this is just what I need to stick with it. Thanks for the group...

    Thank you for starting this group! I lost about 20 lbs. during my divorce, then I gained most of it back after I fell in love! : ) It was like I needed a fight to keep going. I needed someone yelling at me to keep moving, but now that I am happy I don't want to just give in to the comfort. I want to stay strong! I'm turning forty next month, and I am getting married and starting a new life with someone who gives me the love and support I deserve (dream wedding in April 2014.

    I know that I can do this!!! My current weight range is between 172-174 (it fluctuates) and my goal is to get back down to 155.

    Hi All! My name is Emmy and I'm brand new here on MFP. My goal is to get back down to 120. I got sick and lost momentum and gained back a bunch of the weight I had lost so I'm trying to get back on track now. I'm also trying to get back into the gym which is hard because of a lack of time but I do Tae Kwon Do and that helps a lot! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and please feel free to add me as a friend- I only have 3 right now!

    Hi! I'm Shelley. Just got on here yesterday, what a great site! I'm syncing with my Fitbit, so hoping between the two I can keep my motivation up!

    My ultimate goal is to eat better, get in shape and stop beating myself up for where I am right now! Every day is a new day, gotta learn not to be so hard on myself.

    Hello everyone,

    I have been on a weight loss journey for what seems like my whole adult life, back and forth and all over the place. I definitely need to get back on track and I really want to try and lose 40 pounds by my 40th Birthday February 28th! I want the next half of my life to be much healthier and happier and its time to do this! Groups like this I think are essential for getting motivation and support to reach our goals.
