Hey everyone! My name is Kristy and I am from Wisconsin.
I played roller derby and as a result put my body through hell and at the age of 29 I had 4 knee surgeries (2 acl replacements on the same knee) and just got totally out of shape (not that I was thin before). My husband and I are ready to start a family so both of us are on a journey to get in shape and lead a healthy live style. I want to lose a total of 100.3lbs and so far am down 38.1
I am going to continue using MFP to count calories as well as walking. I havent been cleared for anything else yet as I am only 4 months post op from my last surgery. But I would love to try zumba once cleared.
Best of luck to all! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi I'm Mollie from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada.
My goal is to lose 25lbs by the end of the year.
My plan is to:
*track my calories with MFP and keep it under my daily limit before factoring in exercise
*drink 8 cups of water / day
*exercise:
- start with walking 1.2 km before & after work, after work includes .5km on a very steep incline
- work up to walking 2.5km before & after work - before work is easy but somehow going home after is so hard
- I need to work in some strength trainin/core work but I haven't figured out how yet0 -

Aiming for the challenge to lose 32 ish pounds, 14kg to put me within 10kg of my goal weight. Getting harder as I get lighter 0 -

I'm going to be active (I have an 100 mile walked goal for October) and eat healthy!

Hey Guys!
I am Madhu from India. I weighed 77.5 kgs when i started my weight loss journey. I have lost a total of 13 Kgs. But the last couple of months have been really hard for me to stay on the right track. I find myself binging on a regular basis and I am slowly putting on weight.
My goals:
1. Do not binge for the rest of this year (<---this is the hardest part for me)
2. My current weight: 64.5 Kgs.
Goal weight for 31/12/2014 (which is also my birthday) is 59.5 Kgs (<-- This will be my birthday gift)
3. Log into MFP everyday (<-- This has really helped me with my weight loss)
4. Workout 5 days/week0 -
Hi everyone,
My name is Rebecca I am from England. I currently weigh 210.6lbs and aiming to weigh 198lbs by 31/12/2014.

Hi! Name's Jodi, but usually just Jo. I'm pretty much from all over the world (seriously, never really settle down).
I'm 5 ft 5 in (165 cm) and 145 lbs (66 kg). My goal is to be 127 lbs by the end of the year and, ultimately, 120 lbs.
I will achieve this by being very active; cycling everywhere, going swimming, running, horseback riding, and strength training. I'm doing keto at the moment and it seems to be working for me, so I'm going to stick with it 0 -
This is kind of late. I have been posting my daily goals and decided to go back and write done my overall goal for the end of 2014.
My name is Leah.
I live in North Texas
By the first day of 2015, I would like to weigh 20 pound less than my current weight.
I will achieve this by working out, strength training, walking 10000 steps a day, and eating within my calories.0 -
Hello All. My name is Kay and as you might of guessed, I'm from Ohio. My weight loss goal is to lose 15lbs, but my ultimate goal is to eat balanced meals everyday and to stay active. I am what scientist call sedentary active. I am sedentary most of the day and then I hit the gym for an hour (who knew there was a name for it).
I am going to try and not get held up by the number on the scale and focus more on moving more (10,000 steps a day) and my eating habits are horrid. I can do well on workdays but any day that I am off I lose all control. If I could do these two things, I would not mind if I don't hit my weight loss goal.
Good Luck to everyone!0 -
Hi! My name is April from Texas, and i just turned 31 on Saturday. I have struggled with my weight for a long time and I'm ready to get rid of it once and for all. My goal is to lose 40 pounds by Dec 31st. I know that it is manageable because I have done it before, I think my problem is just doing it! I am going to try to reach my goal by doing Herbalife, I have now became a distributor after losing 18 pounds in 30 days while doing it. I feel so much better and its good to finally be under 200 pounds. I will also be walking 1 hour everyday, and swimming or doing water aerobics until it gets chilly here....which I will need more ideas when that time comes as i don't have a gym membership. I also have a heel injury, so finding things to do is a little difficult right now. Feel free to add me for extra motivation!!0

Hi everyone! I have lost 47 lbs this year! I have 33 left to go to hit goal weight. Realistically, I may not be able to get to 150 by January 1, but I am going to try! Here are my details:
Name: Kate
State: CT
Goals: from 184.5 to 150 lbs
How to do it: my diet is low calorie, healthy, with a focus on protein and veggies, pounding H20, and avoiding liquid calories as well as cupboard snacks like chips, crakers, cookies (the three crispy, crunchy C foods that often lead to my downfall). I try to get in 3 days of cardio exercise each week; I try to get in 2 days of strength training in each week. I chase my kids around.0 -

Hi Everyone, my name is Dawn and I'm from Seattle, WA. My goal is to lose 7 lbs by 2015. I plan to achieve this by continuing to log and keep my calories at 1200, continue walking with an average of 8k steps per day, finish out the Jillian Michaels 30 DS in October and then I will find another workout challenge. Originally my goal was 135, but I am lowering that by 5 lbs so during maintenance I have a bit of cushion to fluctuate within.0
