While we're on this 31-day journey, why not take a moment to introduce yourselves, using the following few tidbits:

Name
Where you're from
Your desired goal weight or pounds you want to lose
Favorite "sin" food (the one unhealthy food item that you just love).

I'll start. I'm Shawn from Huntsville, AL. My goal weight is to get to 175, but more importantly I'm trying to get my bodyfat to 15%. My favorite "sin" food is pizza.

    Hi! I'm Jessi, I'm from Iowa but I will be attending school in Missouri in a few weeks. I have reached my goal weight, so my new goals are to not gain the weight back while at school, and to lower my body fat percent by about two percentage points in the 31 days. My favorite sin food would be chocolate and chocolate flavored anything.

    Hi.. my name is Peggy and I live in AZ. I'm the granny of the group, I'm 70. So the vigorous exercises don't work for me. Not yet anyway. My goal weight is 145. Currently at 196. Favorite sin food is probably ice cream. Although I do like cookies, too.

    Hi my name is Lisa, and I'm from CT.

    My highest weight was 178 around the first week of July 2014 - so far i'm down 13 lbs. I had told myself that I would never get to 170 if it killed me. Well I had to have surgery and I passed that weight. I would like to get down to 135-140 by New Years Eve - (my anniversary)

    Favorite Sin food is pasta, bread and flavored coffee.

    I'm hoping to give up flavored creamers in my coffee, and reduce my soda intake.

    I would like to have some new fitnesspal buddies - send me a friend request!

    Hi my name is Jill. I am from Abilene, Texas.
    My highest weight was 265. I got down last year to 202 at one point and then fell from grace. I was diagnosed last year with breast cancer. Went through chemo (chock full of steroids thank you) and then radiation. I am finally healing up well enough to get a regular exercise routine down. I am ready to jump into LIFE instead of being full of fear about death. Cancer cannot take away my life without a fight.

    I am currently at 235. Not proud of that but at least I survived the treatments.

    I would like to lose 100 pounds. Lol but not all in the month of August. ;-)

    My favorite cheat food is ice cream. Oh and anything chocolate. :$

    I am giving up sugars and processed starches and all sodas.
    God help me! I will need encouragement.
    It is a big thing for me to post everything I eat and all my exercise.
    But I figure this is the best way to do it.
    I want to get back to running.
    It is on my bucket list to lose a hundred pounds and run a marathon.

    Lol I better get started.

    I'm ready.

    My name is hannah. Recently married, and recently gained 30 lbs. Looking to lose all 30 yesterday, but I will settle for 8 in august. I crossfit a lot, and try to eat clean, but every three days seem to manage to mess up my progress. One step forward, one step back. I look forward to being part of a motivating and encouraging group!

    Hey gang,

    I'm John from Birmingham, AL. My goal weight is 180. I'll re-evaluate my goal when I get there but I'm very interested in eliminating the spare time around the middle and expose my awesome abs that's been hiding all these years. My favorite sin food is chocolate brownies with hot fudge and Blue Bell ice cream. My wife bakes them all the time for the kids so they are always around to tempt me. AGH!!!
