Several people expressed an interest in starting a group of people who want to get fit by summer. So here it is! Introduce yourself, tell us about yourself, and lets try to keep it motivational and positive!
I am Emily - I am the mom of 1 year old twins and I am a zumba instructor. I love MFP because it offers me information and groups like this to keep me going! My goal is to lose 25 lbs total and I would love to be at least halfway there by summer.

Hi! I am Natalie. I'm a mom to 2 little ones, a girl that is 3.5 and a boy 17 months. I definitely need to get fit by summer. My goal is to lose 20 lbs and I would like to have lost ALL of it by Summer. I love this site, it's definitely keeping me motivated to have others to share my experience with.0

Hi Emily! I'm Sharon. I've been on MFP for about 6 months and have already lost 18 lbs from doing Turbo Fire 6 days a week. Hoping to lose the last 10 lbs by June.
Thanks for starting this thread!

My name is LaToya. I am a 25 year old, full time college student and mom of a 5 year old daughter. I currently work as a bookstore clerk. I am looking to get to a healthier weight by my birthday. (June 16th 2011) I don't want to carry my bad habits into the next quarter century of my life. I am motivated. I am focused and I think a group like this will help to keep me that way.
Thank you for starting this thread.
Best wishes to everyone on their journey.

Hello everyone.
This is the first year in many where I've actually thought it might be possible to get there. I started Jan 3rd, and am almost halfway to my first goal of losing 20 pounds. When I get to the first goal, I'll change my target from 2 pounds per week to 1 for the 2nd and final 20 pounds (or under 20% body fat). I'll also be changing my routine from mostly cardio to add in some weight training to get me to the 2nd goal.
Good luck everyone.0 -
Hi! My name is Cammi, I am a mommy to a 13 month son. I would love to lose 20 lbs by summer, hopefully with this site and my exercise routine I will be able to accomplish my goal. Sharon, I LOVE Turbofire, what a butt kicker!!! I have been dependent on home exercise routines due to being at home with my son, Turbofire has been fun, hoping to get into Zumba sometime0

Hi Cammi! Turbo Fire has changed my body and really increased my cardio endurance level. I think it's Chalene's best program. I'm addicted!!!!!

Hello! My name is Elisa (27) and I too would love to lose weight by summer (May to be exact)! My goal weight is 135 pounds to put me back where I was before I met my husband leaving me with 35 pounds to go. I think with the right support and the right tools... this calorie counter... I will be able to reach my goal. I have never heard of Turbofire, but it sounds great. I love a great workout. I'm currently using home routines and vidoes as well. I am open to any suggestions. Good luck to all of you! It seems like some of you have already reached some great milestones. Good luck to all of you!!!0

Great topic Em!!
Hello my name is Natasha, I am the mother of a 7 month old baby girl. I have 60 to lose and hope to be at least halfway there by summer (My daughters first birthday is in June).
I am so frustrated with myself because I only had 30# to lose after she was born but before I knew it...I have 30 extra. :sad:
The great thing is, MFP has helped me get fit and healthy before so I know it is possible.
Looking forward to be motivated and help motivate! :drinker:0 -
Hi my name is Tracy.
I could kill myself (not literally) for gaining the weight back. I was once 285 and got down to 180 and was a size 12 and pretty happy there. My mom passed two years ago from cancer and I woke up in 2011 at 224 and a size 18 :noway: .
So I need to get fit by summer. My goal is to eat a balanced diet and not eat my feelings. I have lost 12 lbs so far. I'm at 212. My goal is to be at 185 by the start of June. I can do this!!!!
My super supportive hubby has also joined and also lost 9 lbs.
Let's kick it and get there together!!!!0 -
Hello, I'm Ann
I am 42 years old and a grandmother of 3 beautiful children. My son and his family share our home with us. My daughter inlaw and i are on a mission to get healthy and feel great. We are counting calories and working out. I have issues with will power. I do great for a few days then i fall completely off the wagon. I hope this will help me to stick with it. My husband and son have no desire to eat healthy so preparing meals is a challenge. Also it is difficult when my son has lots of fat and sugar filled snacks in the house. It will be tough but I AM GOING TO DO THIS!0 -

Hi, my name is Guen. I am 38 years old (yikes). I don't have a any children except a 4yr old Chihuahua that sleeps way too much.
This is a cool thread. I just joined MFP, and so far i love the positive motivation I've read on forums.
I would love to lose 40 lbs. by summer! That would be halfway to my total goal. That would put me about 4-5 sizes down in pant sizes. Yippee!
Looking forward to the journey.0 -
Hi guen, I have a 5 yr old Chihuahua that also sleeps way too much and also pees everywhere!!!! Good luck to you!!!
Does anyone want to start a keeping track thing, where we weigh in and keep track of what we have lost? I can do it and keep it and post it once a week for everyone if everyone wants to give me their starting weight and weight loss thus far0 -
hi tricia,
ok, so you totally get me on the sleeping Chi's. i don't get it!!
can you clarify on what the tracking thing is? is it what we've lost as a group? sounds like a great idea!
my S.W. (as of 1/2/2011): 215
lost 3 lbs. so far.

I would like to join. I found out about MFP while searching for health and fitness apps on my iPhone. I used to use another online tool last year but figured new year - new tool to change it up. I like the supportiveness so far. My goal is to reach my goal weight by summer and before would be even better. I would like to keep all of my weight off this time without fluctuating. I'm really striving toward a healthier lifestyle in the long run and feeling better about myself. I am a busy wife and mother of 2 kids (5 and 3 yr old), I work full time, and do freelance work on the side, so I squeeze in a workout whenever possible.0

Welcome "getfitdiva" You are my friend too We really do have similar goals Good luck!!!0

Hey everyone! I am Kim, I am 25 and mother to an almost 2 year old boy. I too just joined MFP and am loving all the support and motivation I see on the boards. I would like to lose 40-45 lbs, which would put me at a weight where (the last time I was there) I felt fabulous about myself and really got out there and "lived." I have a wedding that I am attending at the end of June, so I'd love to accomplish this goal by then. Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other toward our goals.0

Hello. My name is Celeste. I am 29 years old and have 1 boy who is 3 years old and a handful. I started my weight loss journey back in July when I took my son to a small amusement park and realized I couldnt fit on any of the rides with him. So I contacted my DR and decided on some medication that would assist my weight loss. A month later I had lost 17 lbs. I started walking at home and then two weeks into September I joined a gym where I have continued to lose weight. Thus far I have lost 70 lbs since Aug 3, 2010. I am pushing myself daily to work out harder and harder so I can lost the last 77 lbs by my 8 year wedding anniversary of 4/26/11. I know that is pushing it but with my medication, my daily work outs and my better food choices I shouldnt have a problem meeting that goal.
Started in August 2010 @ 327 lbs.
Currently January 17, 2011 @ 256.8.
Main goal April, 2011 @ 180 (or lower of course)
I would like to join this group. I want to be able to look good for my anniversary and also be able to wear a bikini this summer.0
