I think I'm joining late too, but oh well! I just made the big 40 in May. I have type II diabetes and on Lantus and Victoza. I lost 35 since April, but decided to restart my ticker to current weight. But I Would Love to get into the 150's, hopefully I can find some encouragement in here! Let's do this!

Hi guys and gals. I'm also late in joining, but better late than never. I have 20 more pounds to lose, so this is perfect for me! I am a 47 year old single mother of 3 (one of which is home schooled) plus one foster and a granddaughter. We have 3 very spoiled dogs in our house. I work several jobs trying to make ends meet, so a healthy dinner at the end of the day is my most difficult challenge! Good luck to everyone!

My name is Tabetha located in Rotterdam, NY ( by Albany, From Kauneonga Lake (grew up 5 mins from original wood stock) I am 36 i'll be 37 and 2 days old when this end. Married for 5 years and 5 days to my wonderfully supportive husband at the end of this. I have a 8 year old from my first marriage (or train wreck) I have a 4 year old who will be 5 in Nov who has Apraxia of speech. So we have spent many hours therapies and trying to understand this. Then my Halloween Baby will be 3.

My mother 2 years ago this past April after a 5 year battle with cancer. My father is a quadriplegic 8 years post accident.

After college i put weight on eating crap food cause round 1 only ate crap, and was not active. and realize was miserable then but thats water under the bridge. I got pregnant with my oldest due Feb at end Jan when my father had his accident and found ex was cheating. had baby Lost 60lbs after having baby in 6 weeks. so when put weight on prior to number 2 it will come off with the baby. realized yeah was not that easy did boot camp loved it but my schedule did not allow and then prego #3. So Last December i had to have my rings cut off so i decided thats it.

Mid January got serious started logging and going to the gym. April my father had a car accident (STRESS) feel off the gym and eatting healthy wagon. but keep in calories. My goal is to be in 130's by Christmas.

thanks for all your support

Christmas talk already!! So it's that time of year where i realize i'd better hurry up and get my butt in gear. Going to wave goodbye to 20 lbs. (the same 20 lbs i was suppose to lose over summer!) Using a combination of nutrition, cardio and weights.

Everyone's saying they are joining late and here I am joining September 25. Better late than never, I suppose. I'm 22, I'll be turning 23 during the challenge, though. No human children but the proud servant (they are cats, after all) of several fur babies, still in college, perpetually stressed out over everything. Planning my wedding, planning to move, lots of stuff will be going on next year. I lost 43 pounds using Lose It! two years ago, so I know I have it in me to lose the weight. I really believe joining forces with others will definitely help me lose weight. I could definitely use that kick in the butt.

I am a mum to two year old twins and just turned 30.
Weighing in at 186lb (my heaviest apart from when pregnant with twins lol) this week so hope to be 166 by christmas.
Final goal would be 150ish.

Hello,

I am Elaina! I lost 27 pounds pre-wedding and would love to lose 20 more (now I want to be a hot bridesmaid for my friend's wedding).

I'm really great about never gaining back what I've lost, but I always seem to get stuck. I know it's all subconscious, but from going into the 170s to 160s -- for instance -- is always a battle. I call it "breaking into another decade".

Here's to doing this together. Power in numbers!:drinker: :drinker: (okay, just kidding...less drinking people!)

Edit: I'm 5'9 at 176. ( I was 172 the other day, but I don't mind starting out high in water weight.):laugh:

Hey everyone! I'm another late member . I'm 32, F, living in Chicago. I've lost a bit of weight over the last year but I definitely fell off the wagon a few months ago after an ankle injury. Now that I'm finally better I'm back in the gym and hoping I can finally reach my goal of 175 by Jan. Its an aggressive goal, but I think tracking calories and working will get me there in a couple of months.

Thanks for creating this group! Its great to have support!

Hi! I'm Rene. I gained the typical frosh 15 in college + some, and now, two years after the fact, want to get back to what my doctor told me was my ideal weight at my short height: 110. I definitely have a problem emotional eating, so have been trying to make some healthy swaps to fill my snack cravings with low calorie foods: strawberries, coffee with sugarfree creamer, popcorn, etc! Since getting back to uni, I've been walking around an hour every day to and from classes--want to add back in some light weights, bodyweight exercise, and running. I also need to incorporate more regular meal eating--I tend to eat very few calories early in the day and then fall straight off the bandwagon as it progresses.

I spent the last week tracking my eating on MyFitnessPal, but now it's time to make plans and stick with them! I figure even if I can lose 10 pounds by Christmas (averaging one pound a week! doable, right?) , I'll be halfway to my goal. Best of luck to all of us. I haven't had my scale come in the mail yet, but looking forward to having a productive and happy Fall! (OH AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FRIEND ME!)
