Hello fellow grey team members. Please feel free to use this thread to introduce yourself and chit chat about anything and everything.


My name is Jen and so far I have lost 41 pounds since joining MFP in January. I've lost 62 pounds total since I started this weight loss journey in April 2013 :-) My goal for this 10 week challenge is to lose 15 pounds to be at 170. I'm nearing the end of my weight loss needing only 25 more pounds to go and am slowly starting to lift weights and strength train. I realize 1.5 pounds per week may seem a difficult task, but I love a good challenge. I'm very excited to be in this group and I'm optimistic that all of us will have great success. Add me as a friend, my diary is always open!!

Happy Losing All,
Jen

    Hi Grey Team!! I'm looking forward to being part of another Biggest Loser Challenge. Unfortunately, I went on vacation last week and gained a bit of weight so this challenge couldn't start at a better time; hoping it will help me get back on the wagon and stay on it for the summer!!

    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Cheers!

    Hi! I'm looking forward to our weight loss journey(s) together! My goal is 110 lbs. That's about 18 lbs. to go! I'm only 5'0" so every pound shows up in the wrong places! LOL! Friday's the BIG DAY! Good luck!

    Hi Everyone
    I really just want to lose the last 10 pounds but I've been hoping to do that for awhile, I hoping this will give me the motivation to finally stick to healthy eating and exercise and avoid pizza :p

    Hello Grey Team,

    This is Jackie from Las Vegas, I've been on MFP coming on 3 years and meet some wonderful friends during my journey! I've been in maintenance for about 4 months now! Unfortunately this is my second time! I've token up running though which has helped tremendously! I've done a some 5k race but my NEXT goal is doing a half which is scheduled for the beginning of October!

    I just got back from vacation a couple of weeks ago so I'm looking forward to this challenge! Good luck everyone with your goals! We can do this!!!!!

    Since today is weigh in we could start tomorrow and have the challenge run through next Friday! Maybe do a minimum of 30 mins of exercise for 4 of the days! What do you guys think?

    6 mile run / 6 mile walk

    I was able to get my morning run in, it felt awesome! I need to lose the few pounds I gained on vacation, ugh! Within the next couple weeks figure out a running schedule! It's going to get around 108 next week, darn darn darn! We hosted a banquet today for the club my husband plays table tennis for! I was able to help with the menu, yay!

    I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

    Congratulations Jackie!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a softball game last night which is considered a little bit of exercise, I did strength training this morning for 40 minutes and will do my usual 3.5 mile jog tonight. SO far so good!!
