Hi all,
I am Malea. I am living in Vienna in Austria, although my profile page says Vienna in Wisconsin :-)
I have been active on MFP about one and a half year. I have already lost about 10 kg, but in the last months gained some of them back, due to several reasons, but mostly because I didn't pay enough attention to what I was eating. So I decided to have a fresh start at the beginning of this year, and set my weight ticker back to zero.

Currently I am at 88 kg (194 lbs), and in the next 12 weeks I want to lose about 1 lb per week, going down to 182 lbs.

Looking forward to this challenge!

Hi everyone My name is Carrie and I joined MFP 2-years ago and at one point had lost over 20 lbs, I have gained back some of that weight. I have enjoyed getting to know many of you. I hope to lose 10 lbs for this challenge ,more if I can. I decided to not put so much pressure on myself and to work on being more focused on small changes that over time will become a natural part of my day.
I have been married for 26 almost 27 years [ in Febuary] I have 2 grown children a son and daughter and now a son en law. I live in Michigan and grew up on a dairy farm. I also had a home day care for over 17 years and I miss the children. I hope that some day soon to be a grandma:happy: They want to wate another year.
My goal is to lose 10 lbs and to get healthy and strong so that I will be able to be a fun grandma one day!:laugh:
Lets get healthy and strong together.

Hi Everyone -- I'm Tracie and have been on MFP for about a year. I haven't been active at all in the community and have primarily used the app for logging my calories and even that has been inconsistent. SO time for some changes in leveraging MFP for what it's all about -- community! I'm looking forward to this challenge!

Hi my name is Macha (Shay). I have been on MFP for over a year. I got serious about losing weight Jan 2013, I lost 20 lbs and was so excited, But then I got comfortable and gained almost every pound back:mad: . I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. I must get back on the weight loss wagon AGAIN and I pray its for good. It seems to be a harder for me this time to get my head on straight, but I WILL keep trying. I hope this challenge is what I need to get back on track. I hope to lose at 12-15 lbs. Lots of luck to everyone.

Hi - I'm Christie and have been on MFP for 1 year. I have lost 37 lbs and have another 13 to go. I have completely slacked on my nutrition, which is why I've stalled on my weight loss progress. My goal is to lose the 13 lbs in this challenge and be honest and log everything that I eat. These challenges and you're support always help me stay motivated and accountable - thanks! Looking forward to the next 12 weeks!

Hey everyone I'm Sarah. I have been with mfp since 12/12 and have lost 103 pounds on this program. It's such a great place for support. I have the best cheerleaders on here. I still have about 12 pounds to go to hit my major goal. These last few pounds have been the hardest. I have been struggling lately and I'm really looking forward to this challenge to get me through these last few pounds.
A few things about me. I'm 27 and from the good old freezing state of michigan ( as Mimi said cold cold michigan). I have one amazing son and he is 20 months now. Married for 8 years now and work as a hairstylist. I started my journey when my son was six months and I still has 15 pounds to go before I was back to pre baby weight. I guess I was just sick and tired of looking sloppy and not put together (since I refused to buy new/ bigger clothes after my son). I have struggle with letting the scale run my life this last year. So I did make a promise to myself for not to weigh myself everyday. I will be the first to admit I did lose a good portion of my weight with eating healthy but not eating enough so starving myself (not good at all). This year is all about feeding my body the right way and not to obsess over the scale and weigh in just weekly and not daily. Oh and upping my exercise
If we aren't friends yet on here feel free to friend me. I'm really looking forward to the next 12 weeks.

Hi All,

My name is Alison and I have been a member of MFP for quite a few years now. My heaviest was 225 and my lightest was 157 and now I am hovering somewhere in the middle at 196.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better and hopefully losing a few pounds in the progress.

Cheers,
Alsison
