    My name is Ashley, im 22 and currently weight 231.. ive gained all my weight after I graduated high-school. I started working out and watching my food habits 2 weeks ago and I've lost 4lbs already, so im definitely up for it! Plus my anniversary is next month, so perfect timing!(:

    I'm in. I don't know about 10 pounds because I'm on the 1.5 pounds per week option, but I'll try. I'm 27, 5'6" and at an all-time high of 194.6. I lost 20 pounds 2 years ago on Weight Watchers, but it has all creeped back (and then some). My goal is 150. My boyfriend and I have been talking about marriage, and I would really like to look and feel great for the big day (whenever that might be. Hopefully next year).

    The weight gain culprit has been a new sedentary job, and moving in with my boyfriend, who is 5'9" 145 and can eat any amount of unhealthy foods and not gain weight.

    I was running half marathons, but an injury halted my progress, and the extra weight is making it even harder to get back into it. I'd like to get lighter and possibly run a half this October.

    Good luck to all.

    This is such a great idea, I'm in!

    Nikita, 21, 5ft 4 and I weigh 172.4 lbs as of yesterday. At my heaviest I was 224 lbs and my ultimate goal is between 120 and 128 lbs.

    Let's get started. We can do this!!

    Okay, I'm in. I'm hoping this forum will help to keep me accountable. I am 5'3" and weighed in at 136.5 this morning. I have been feeling uncomfortable for quite some time, but just can't stay motivated to lose. I think I get mixed up with all the different diets out there. I am going on a cruise with my family in mid-march, and I don't want to be embarrassed or judged for my recent weight gain. /..|

    Sounds good. I'll give it a go. Any competitive runners on here?

    I run and have done many 5ks, 10ks, a half and a full marathon, but am definitely not what you might consider competitive-- I run slowly and I know it! But if you were wanting to tie some kind of running challenge in, I'd be down for it!

    Thanks for the reply Kiwi, I won't complicate things by adding more challenges on top! But I admire your enthusiasm. Basically, Im just wondering how other runners are approaching their nutrition (nearly every runner is looking for the magic equation to balance energy and weight loss, while combating cravings). On the whole I look at the type of food I eat and importantly the times I eat, rather than any "low calorie" approach. My nutrition has to support a 60-80km a week training structure. I'm keen to shed some weight, post injury. Always happy to learn from others :)

    Malenthia here. 5'1, 150 lbs. I have a two year old. I lost all the baby weight and felt too small. Unfortunately, I gained it all back plus some. I would like to get back down to 130 lbs.

    I'm in! My name is Amanda. I'm 5'4 and as of this morning I weigh 269.0, however just a couple of days ago I was 267.2. Welcome to "that T.O.M". My goal by March 1 is to be 257.2. I think I'm done with my water weight loss for the most part (17 pounds since Jan 3. Yay!) so we shall see if these 10 come off. Good luck everyone!

    Well, I guess I'll be the old lady in the group then! 44yrs, 176 lbs and 5'3". Goal is 140. I'm in! Lost 12 lbs since November...stopped the program I was on at the end of Nov and started back up Jan 1st.

My ultimate goal is to reach 150lbs, but I would be just as happy reaching 170 by June 1st! We are going to Europe for a family functions, then in July it's my High School Reunion so I have lots of Motivation! I am also 5'7.5".

    I'm in. I'm 5'6", weight as of today 150lbs. I'm really struggling to drop the 14lbs to get me to my goal. I'm 50 years old, quite active, (gym 3 times a week, long walks at the weekend and additional cardio at home when I can fit it in) just can't get my nutrition right!!!! I still want to enjoy life and enjoy a glass of wine at the weekend and feel good in my clothes.....

    Hi, I am late to the party but I'll join. My name is Patricia and I am 46 years old. I have been doing MFP for about 3 months steadily and have lost 20 lbs. I have slipped the last few weeks due to vacation, travel and a dinner, I weighed it at 138 this AM. I am 5'4. I was an avid runner and triathlete but have lost a lot of motivation over the last year and would love to get some motivation going again. I also ride (and have) 3 horses. I would also like to stop drinking for a while, i was looking for a no alcohol group, but so far only see one that was for Jan, so will try and combine the two. When I don't drink I definately see a better result than when i do give in and drink! I am also doing this with a friend, and he has also lost 20 lbs but both of us have been a bit stuck the last few weeks. Hopefully these will help motivate me!

    I bought a Vegetti and tried zucchini noodles (zoodles) for the first time today. Took away almost 200 calories and added a serving of veggies to my veggie noodles. It satisfied the pasta craving nicely.

    I'd like to join. I'm 43 and 160 pounds, hoping to reach 140 again. 138 was my low grown up weight, so that would be a little woo-hoo bonus, but ... Headed to Vegas at the end of March and *really* want to look the part! ;) I run and lift weights and am terrible with my food choices. So ... I'll give it a shot.

    And Gigi - a special shout out to you - you can do it! Good job for checking in with this group! xo

    Hi. I'd love to join! I weigh in on Mondays anyway, so this works out well for me. I am 41 years old, 217.9 pounds as of this morning, 5'2". My top weight was 252. My goal weight is 140. I don't know if I can do 10 pounds by March 1, but I sure want to try!
