Hey, I'm Melanie and I'll take you up on that challenge. I just joined MFP a few weeks ago. I've always been active but over the last few years I've let that slide and wanted to make a change by getting fit. I have a very cool vacation coming up this summer to Vegas which I want to look good for and my fitness goal is to hike the West Coast Trail. I've never really paid much attention to what I eat so I totally love MFP as a way to keep me on track with my goals. My overall goal is to lose 20 pounds but 5 is a great start !

Just made it. (A loss). Next week will be tough too as it is spring break for me. Too many temptations and not enough distractions from eating. I'm going to give it my best though.

I can relate. I work in a school too and the cafeteria smells that get to me are fresh baked bread or Cinnamon rolls. I've been able to resist since I've been logging what I eat on MFP. Looks like you're doing well too. Keep up the fight

Hi...I know it's 2 weeks in but can I join as well??
I've been on MFP since 29 Dec 2010 when I decided to stop abusing my body and start getting back to how I used to be! With the help of MFPs and Jillian Michaels, I've lost 21lbs to date and I hope to lose 24 more. I've been feeling a bit low and demotivated lately so would really like to belong to a challenge to push me. I hope it's okay I jump in here!

I'm jumping in a little late, but need something to keep me motivated. My name is Caity, I'm in my early 20s, and am really trying to lose weight and be HEALTHY. I joined MFP in January, and fell off the wagon twice - and am now just a few lbs less than my original MFP starting weight. I've joined a yoga studio with a two month membership, so I'm trying to go to classes at least 4-5 days a week, if not more. My ultimate goal weight is to be within 140-150lbs (I'm 5'9''), I think this group might be a good kick in the pants for me

Thank you for the kind welcome! You seemed to be doing pretty darn well yourself! Very excited for the next 10 weeks!0 -

Welcome Caity. I think you will fit in here just fine. I know the falling off the wagon trick myself all to well. I'd say I'm more of a yoyo man than a fall off the wagon guy but I'm familiar with the starting over and over and over syndrome. Anyway, lookin forward to hearing your successes on this thread. See you next Sunday 0 -
