Hi, I'm Tammy. I'm a married, SAHM to 7 kids. Aged 7 to 24 A friend of mine told me, after having 5 of her own children, that you don't get your body back for about 5 years after you stop having babies! Well its been 7 years for me and so about two months ago I got serious about my weight loss, and have lost 15 lbs since..... I keep feeling better and better! I walk so far and gonna get back into swimming this month. Looking forward to the accountability here:)

Hi, everyone. I'm Cole. I've been with MFP for over a year. However, I have been really bad about not logging for months at a time. I'm one of the "eat something off limits, and the diet is blown for weeks" types. I'm struggling with the lifestyle concept, so I hope that joining this group will be the first of many steps in the right direction! Sorry for the long post.

Hellooooo. You guys know this challenge is for December right? The month with homemade Christmas treats foisted upon you at every turn, endless hours shopping, decorating, cleaning and drinking, a Christmas stocking filled with sweets and a Christmas dinner that compels you to wear your stretchy pants.

But much love Carradae, not only for starting and moderating this group but for sharing your past performance. I love the idea that even if we don't "win" per se, we can use the challenge as motivation to push a little harder.

So it's crazy but I'm in. In fact for me, it may have inched away from crazy towards impossible because an hour ago I hurt my Achilles in my tennis aerobics class (had to leave half way through).

Anyway good luck fellow competitors. Maybe we can do the impossible.

Hi, I'm Sandie. I joined the November challenge looking for something to get me back on the wagon so to speak after 6 months of next to no exercise and eating pretty poorly, and it's worked out better that I anticipated. I made it all the way through, I'm feeling really good, and also lost 3.3kg (7.26lb) as of this mornings weigh in.

I've decided I want to keep this up at least as long as Christmas, and at this point I'm pretty confident I can get there. This challenge has helped make exercise and healthy eating a solid part of my routine again so it's not too much of a struggle

My aim is to get under 70kg by Xmas (69.9 will do) and to never get above 70kg again. As of today I'm 1.2kg off that mini-goal so pretty sure I can get there within the next couple of weeks and have a little wiggle room for Xmas day

Hi, I am Gus.

This is my fifth challenge. I won in August, September and October and lost 42 pounds. I messed up in November and have not been able to lose much since then. I am so happy to be back. Thank you, Caradae.

Hey everyone! My name is Sarah - I'm 19 and a full time student working two jobs. I've always been overweight, reaching 249 sometime last year before I decided to make some major changes - now I'm down to 170 (20 lbs lighter than my driver's license!?) and still going at it.
I've never taken part in an MFP accountability challenge before, but I love the idea and I'm in it to win it! This month I only had 18/30 days with workouts I was proud of...I've got to get recommitted and make that 30/30 (or 31/31 this month, I suppose. even better!).
Best of luck to everyone this month -- we can do it!

Hi all,
I'm Sarah, I'm 24 and from the UK. I have been on MFP for about 5 weeks and have been logging consistently for 19 days. I have lost 11lbs so far and I need all the help I can get for December!! I have been doing 6 gym classes a week (2 x spinning, 2 x fitball, 2 x zumba) and over Christmas I will be going home to see my family for 2 weeks which means no classes to keep me straight and none of my own food! Also, my office is always full of treats and so I know the run up to Xmas is going to be hard. Hoping to stay as strong as I have been in November! Good luck to everyone!

Hello! I'm a mother of two young men who are now in high school. I was going to say boys because that's what they will always be to me but they are taller than me so young men it is. I've been laid off for a year now & only in the last months have I started to use the time to work out. I did a Diet Bet that Jillian Michaels hosted & won! I wanted to keep the momentum going & found the November challenge which I am proud to say I'm also about to complete. I'm excited to start December. I love the accountability since it is helping me continue with my weight loss & also helping me set new goals for 2014. My boyfriend has joined me on my fitness journey & I love it! Today, I joined him on his first 5K. I like the saying that says the couple that works out together, stays together

As caradae says, let's end 2013 right!

Hello, I'm Peggy and I am a 56 year old single but in a relationship woman. I am working as a nursing assistant in an assisted living home. I lost over 100 pounds 2 years ago but started to work overnight and gained ALOT of it back. I have lost 36 of those pounds and would like to lose 10 more before the end of the year.

Hello all, my name is Beverley. I started this challenge last month & was not able to complete it. I'm ready to give it yet another try. Gotta end the year right.

Hello everyone!
I'm Liz. I'm 25 years old and my job as an RN is what i've been using as an excuse not to lose weight. I've been using MFP on and off since college. I'd like to lose 10lbs before my inlaws come to visit in mid January. I'm 5'1'' and 148lbs
I'm so excited about this group because I always do better with accountability! Lets do this!!

Hi, I'm Nancy. I'm back for a second month of holding myself accountable! For November I lost about 5 lbs. Not sure about the inches down, I'll be dragging the measuring tape out tomorrow. There were several days I didn't think I was going to make it but I did! I learned to make some better choices and I've learned which exercises my body can tolerate and which ones it can't. I have fibromyalgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in both legs and feet. My daily experience can be very painful but I still managed to push through to get my exercise in, even if the exercise was nothing more then cleaning the house. Looking forward to another month of successes! Best of luck to everyone that's doing the challenge this month!

Hello everyone, I'm Jill
I'll be 24 this month, and I've lost 30lbs with weight watchers, I started off at 180, and I'm 5 feet tall. In the summer I'm very active, I have a boat, I'm barely home and in the winter I travel. Going to Mexico for 3 weeks next month so I'm looking to get in the best shape of my life. T25 is helping tone my body. I participated in November's challenge and it really helped me kick my plateau in the Butt! I used to always go over my calories by a couple or few hundred, not anymore!
