Hi, my name is Moriah. I'm 23 and have a 5 1/2 month old son. I really enjoy making and playing music. i haven't done too much of that lately, been lacking inspiration and motivation, but I'm hoping that, the better i feel about myself, the more i will do what i enjoyed again. I was looking for a group to join, and i'm glad i found it!! i've already lost 44 lbs before starting MFP. i'm trying to get rid of the last stubborn bit. i'm exclusively breastfeeding still GO ME!! lol.

Hi, I'm Meagen, I'm 21 I'm a full time student and I work part time as well. I've been trying to get to 138 lbs at least since last May. haha I think this is the challenge I finally get to that elusive number. The motivation of soon to come beach season should help at the end of the challenge. For fun I like to dance and hang with friends and read (not text books :laugh: ).

I'll be back on the 23rd! But I'm definitely in. I'm Tati and I'm a full time grad student. I've been trying to lose the last 15 pounds for the past 6 months...lost it once and kept it for all of 2 weeks! My nemesis is exercise...I believe I was a rock in a past life. I really just do not like to move, except walking. Although I am developing a fondness for weight lifting...
If anyone told me that these last few pounds would be harder than the first 55, I wouldn't have believed them!
starting weight: Hmm...Highest weight was 175. Highest MFP weight was 135. Highest weight in past year was 125.

Hi everyone! I'm Mande; currently a stay-at-home wife, hoping to become a stay-at-home mom sometime this year. I'm a vegetarian, and working my way through a round of Power90 (on week 3 right now) and doing some additional walking and yoga on the weekends. Oh, I've recently taken up crochet, but I'm not very good at it yet. :laugh: Must practice more.

Hi! I'm Taylor, I am engaged to a wonderful man and between the 2 of us we have 8 kids! I am the catering director for a local Carino's Italian Restaurant. I am currently doing the HCG diet and have lost 20lbs on it. I go off of it in 10 days. This challenge seems perfect to keep me motivated after the HCG is finished. I enjoy reading, watching movies, shopping and I love cooking, spending time with my family and listening to my fiance sing.

I'm in! I'm Micki and I'm tired of being heavy! I'm ready for change. I'm 47, married 24.5 years and have one son. I'm a banker who sits on her butt all day talking on the phone, so weight loss has become a real challenge! Fun for me is sedentary too
, I love needlework, reading, and painting. The warm weather will bring some fishing with my guys.
Let's do it.

Hello, my name is Amber. I am the mother of 3, twins who just turned 1, and a 2 1/2 yo. I work part time as a RN and need to lose an additional 50 lbs. I did the Valentine's Day challenge and it def helped keep on track so I am positive that this will keep me going. It helps to be accountable to someone!

Hello I’m Stormy : Sixty-one year old grampa that is trying to regain his youth. I believe youth is wasted on the young (you don’t really appreciate being young until you’re not young anymore). Anyway, I’m working at being younger than I am and mfp is helping me with groups like this. I look forward to this challenge and the opportunity to inspire and be inspired by all of you. Hope to see you all again every Wednesday starting on the 23rd.

I'm Chrissy. I'm 141.8 lbs, which has flucuated up and down over the last several weeks. I'm a runner and whole foodie. I've lost 85 lbs over the last 3 yrs and now I'm down to the last 12 lbs until I reach goal and struggling. I've waited so long to be able to wear a bikini and that's been a huge motivator for me. I will be in one this summer and this seems like just the challenge I need to help me get there.0

Hi all! I've just joined MFP and losing weight with this challenge will be the first time I've actually lost weight!
Previously I used to be a bit more active in my job, but I'm now based at my desk all day long... so I find it's all the more important to be active before/after work and eat well at work, and not junk at my desk. :P My favourite cardio exercises are running and dancing, and have challenged myself to run five times a week this year, as I've always been a runner, but not a consistent one. I'm looking forward to the easter challenge and making a commitment to start the losing the weight I built up in uni.

Hello, My name is Dixie! I'm a proud wife and the mommy of a 6 month old little boy. I joined MFP to lose the baby weight. I've been doing the 5-15 pounds by V-day challenge...haven't met my goal doing that challenge...but I got close. I started my journey at 195 lbs, found MFP at 191 lbs, and as of this morning, I weigh 188.4 lbs My ultimate goal is to reach 180-185 so I'm almost there..Yay! I know 180 probably sounds kind of high but not for me...I'm 6'4" so that should be just right I've been doing the 30 Day Shred for a while and just recently added Banish Fat Boost Metabolism into the mix. I wish everyone the best of luck with this challenge and feel free to add me if you like! :flowerforyou:

Hello. My name is Hillary. I am 32, married for 8.5 years to a wonderful man! I have two boys (7 and 6), and one girl (will be 5 in 17 days!). I homeschool all three of them, and love that I am able to do that! I enjoy reading, writing, hanging out with my husband, and actually walking (on the beach--we live in Myrtle Beach, on trails in the parks, etc.). I was diagnosed with PCOS this past summer...doctor put me on some prescripton weight loss pills, but I quit taking them because of the side-effects...

goal weight: 210 <---a goal that I have been trying to reach for a LONG time...have had a lot of up and down on the scale lately.
(My ultimate goal weight is 110...so this goal would just get me within the 100 lb. to lose range instead of 100+ lbs to lose...)0 -
Hi everyone! I'm a professor who used to spend a lot more time hiking and crawling through wetlands than my current position allows- hence the recent weight gain. I am 5'4" and currently at 133 lbs- I have lost 9 lbs total since on MFP starting Dec 1, 2010. The first 5 lbs were relatively easy compared to the most recent 4. My final goal is 125 lbs and then I'll see how the bikini looks!

Hi, everyone! My name is Gia, and I'm going on a vacation to the Caribbean on April 22. I've been carrying around an "extra" 15 pounds since 2008 and failed many times to return to my previous weigh range of 135-140 lbs. Luckily, I only maintained an extra 15 or so pounds during the past three-plus years, but now ready to jump off the plateau and achieve my goal. I definitely need extra push and support. This challenge can a great motivator to help me reach my goal and get my bikini-ready body for my vacation!

Hello! My name is Cori, I've been married to my hubby for 11 great years and we have 5 kids. 8 year old twin boys, a 6 year old daughter, and 4 year old boy/girl twins. I started this weight loss journey on 7/4/10 - and have been pretty happy with my progress so far. I realized as I set my goal for this challenge how close I really am to losing 100 lbs - which feels pretty amazing!!!0 -
I've lost 5 pounds in the v-day challenge, and i'm up for this challenge! This time around, i'd like to lose to go for the full 15 pounds! I created a workout schedule that includes P90X, Insanity, and Turbo Fire, and will be starting this coming Monday, which is conveniently the first day of this challenge! As for me, i'm 27 years old, I work full-time as a social worker. I just started this job two weeks ago and still trying to adjust to working every day. Beforehand, while unemployed, I had all the time in the world to work out, and with this intense schedule I've created for myself, i'll be one busy girl. I'm looking forward to this challenge, can't wait to start!
