    Name: Christin
    Age: 22
    Height: 5'6" or 167cm
    Highest weight: 183lbs
    Current weight: 139lbs
    Goal weight: 125lbs -or whenever comfortable in a swimming suit.

    For the past 6-7 months I have been trying to lose weight. It's worked so far pretty well, but summer will be here soon and that's when I want to look my best. My diet isn't too strict, as long as I stay under my caloric goal I eat whatever I want.
    I work as a swim instructor for children 3 days a week. When I go to work I walk there (about 1.5 miles), and on my days off I workout. My workouts usually look like this:
    2 miles euliptical as fast as I can
    10 x 3 reps 15lb free weights
    10 x 2 reps pull down abs 40lbs
    100 crunches
    30 side crunches on each side
    Even though this seems like it should help me with lowering my weight, my weight hasn't budged in a long while. So I think this group can help motivate me to go the extra mile. :)

    I'm happy to be apart of this with all of you!

    OOOH I forgot to join. Here goes:
    Name Kelly
    Age 32
    Height 5'4
    Highest weight 183
    current weight 176
    Goal weight 133

    Getting whopped this year with health issues (genetics sigh as my lifestyle up until now was pretty great). I am a nurse, had been on bedrest from May until the end of December when my doctor determined I can gradually reintroduce activity as tolerated. Dizziness and joint pain are my main issues, and I have some weight and activity restrictions. I have a membership at the YMCA and normally like to workout on treadmill/elliptical and in the pool, but I am not ready for that for a few more months. I have many goals on MFP, but my main objective is to be as active as possible and rebuild my muscles and some endurance. I have a lot of work to do and I also have gained 50 pounds in the last 8 months, which I would like to gradually lose. Please reference my profile pic to see what I look like at 183. There is also an older pic from me on a race day when I weighed 133, which is my goal and very realistic for my body as I weighed that for most of my adult life! I will happily shred along with you and keep my progress pics updated, I suggest everybody measure and take starting pictures as the results are INREDIBLE! Good luck and nice to meet everybody! Feel free to add me!

    Goal weight: 125 lbs maybe? I used to weigh 117 when I was borderline anorexic but had no muscle. Aiming for that 25" waist but with muscle and good health this time around.

    I was a software developer, with a gym in the office, standing desk, walked to work, ran obstacle races. Basically in great shape. Quit to go to grad school this year. Turns out pursuing a PhD means stress, crap meals due to poor time management and no time to work out. Gained 20 lbs over the fall term. :(

    I figure 20 min a day is doable no matter how busy I am, and I'm looking forward to being held accountable and seeing other people's success.

    I am suffering with sarcoidosis and my medication regimen includes high dose steroids. I am ER Nurse I really would like to keep up as well as be example for my patients. I am sick of providing diet instructions and feeling like a hypocrite inside. I am planning on taking this opportunity to gain confidence and support as well as be an inspiration to someone else. The pain I live with is real on daily basis and weight loss is the key to some relief.

    Name: Kelly
    Age: 24
    Height: 5' 9"
    Highest weight: 292 lbs (Starting weight on here was around 282)
    Current weight: around 273 lbs (I only weigh in every two weeks and weigh in on Thursday)
    Goal weight: 180 lbs

    I'm a law student and most of my days are spent studying or in lecture sitting down. I have let myself go over the past three years, starting with an injury and then just going from there. I'm working on getting myself active again, and 30DS has helped me with that in the past!

    I ordered the 30DS dvd 3 years ago and haven't used it. This time, I'm finally going to do it. My 42nd birthday is in March - that'll motivate me, right?

    Highest weight: 100 kg
    current weight: 75kg
    Goal weight: 60kg

    I work in an office, stuck sitting most the day and escape for a walk on all of my work breaks to get at least 50 mins movement in my day. Mornings is easiest for me to workout, since I just feel like "becoming one with the couch" when I get home from work- have no energy left after 5pm.
    Ive done 30DS before, but long time ago and have lost my fitness levels, so itll be like doing it for the first time.

    I work at a desk all, day with an hour commute each way. I'm waiting 'til the day they notice at work that I never print at the printer nearest me in an effort to log more steps on my FitBit :smile: My weight has been a problem for the past 13 years or so, but I have reached my highest recently. Due to some really bad family things I hit a depression and didn't really care, and I managed to tack on an unspeakable amount of weight in the past 6 months. I was planning on starting a round of my 21 day FIX program (I've yet to complete an entire round), but saw this group and thought I'd give 'ol Jillian another shot! I"m looking forward to being part of an encouraging group!

    I did this for the first time 6 months after having my youngest child. Kinda wish I had kept up with it because my stomach was looking and feeling awesome! I can't wait to start!
