Hi I am 34 years old have one teenage daughter that is really giving me a run for my money.

I recently gained all the weight I lost on MFP and have really been having a hard time getting back on track. My ultimate goal is go get down to wearing a size 7 pants (ones I purchased when I was at my skinniest and shortly after gained weight and have not been able to put them on since). :s

I want to tone up and gain strength in my arms and in my core. I really need help staying accountable. I am not perfect with my menu choices but I try. I am going to make sure I put down everything I eat the good the bad and the ugly... ready for this weight loss ride!

    I would also like to join. I'm Kent. I started my weight loss journey about 6 years ago at 302 lbs. At my lowest, I was 192. I have since begun competing triathlons and love them! I am 35 years old. Over the years, i have gained a bit back here and there. I completed my first full Ironman race in September at 215 lbs. It was a great day, but I can only imagine what it would have been like at the lower weight. After Ironman, I had a medical procedure done that knocked me down for a few weeks and I lost motivation. I have put on 20lbs and am not happy about it! With race season coming, I have to do something NOW! I have a half Ironman race in April, June and September. I would like to race under 215 in April, under 200 in June and under 190 in September with my ultimate goal of racing Ironman Louisville in 2016 in the 170's, which I have not seen since the 5th grade! I am looking forward to this journey back into shape!

    Hey. I'm Dee. This is just what I'm looking for. Been with MFP since last summer. Was doing great till I broke my legs in Nov. Now I've gained back half the weight I lost. I've just started to exercising seriously again so I'm looking forward to the challenges.
  • Hey I'm Jess,
    This really is exactly what I need. I'm going on my first holiday with my boyfriend in June and I really want to lose around 2 and a half stone for it. But my first goal is to lost 10lbs, and then go on from there.
    Good luck everyone

    Hi, just joined the goup today! My name is Courtney I am 29 (turning 30 in 2 weeks :'( ) and am a shorty at just 5'1. I have been off and on MFP for a few years now and I lost 20lbs while using it regularly, then due to life, work, stress and eating, I gained 10lbs back this winter. I am refocusing on my food and getting back into an exercise routine again so I am hoping to see good results this month. Still have a while to go until I am at my goal of 130, but I know that I can do it.

    Hi, I'm Ashley. I have a 3 yr old and a 9 month old. After baby #2 I have had a terrible timing losing the weight and find myself exausted and unmotivated at the end of the day to use any of the gym equipment or workout videos that I have l. I used to be so disciplined. Really looking for support and like minded people to stay focused. My goal is to be comfortable in my skin AND my jeans. Right now the number seems to be 125, but I haven't been that size since I started college. I am currently 174 and aiming for 164 by the end of this challenge. Good luck to everyone!

    Hi my name is Marsha, just joined I'm 48 with a 13 yo son & a 11 yo daughter. They keep me busy. Actually didn't start gaining weight until I had my son @ 35. Always had to watch what I ate and exercised but never did it get out of hand until after kids. It's just the stress of kids & all that I do. I work 8 hr days then I have to come home cook dinner, clean up kitchen, help with homework it's just over whelming sometimes. I'm currently 193 want to lose 40 lbs. hopefully I could lose 6 lbs this month. That's my goal.
