Hi everyone- looking forward to round 2! Am hoping to set more realistic goals this time. Am feeling good about my weight loss so far want to stay on track losing slow and steady.

Right now my weight is 212.5. By the end of the challenge I would like to weigh 200, with a goal of a pound weight loss per week.

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm 30 and have over 100 lbs to lose. I just started using MFP again and I tend to do well for awhile, then lose my motivation. I'm hoping this challenge will help keep me on track.

Congratulations runningsahm!

Geez, high humidity and risk of storms... That certainly won't be a problem for me! I'll be lucky if the temperature is more than a few degrees above freezing.

What part of the world are you in?

I'm in the Scandinavian Arctic. North. WAY north. Think Point Barrow, Alaska and then some. I grew up in the Midwest, though, so I know what you're up against.

I'm not exactly excited, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm pretty confident I can pull it off, and I hope maybe somebody will cheer for me. The race is a really small one, just a couple hundred runners doing full or half-marathons or 10 km races along the same roads. Some of my friends think I'm crazy, but that's okay.

Hi My Name is Clare,
My first time to this challenge, I have done a few others in the past. I have been doing MFP for a couple of years and at one point had lost 125 pounds, but have been struggling the past year and regained 25, I do great during the week and totally fail on weekends. My goal is to lose 1-1.5 pounds a week, which is what I was doing up to May of last year. But reality I just want to get my snacking back under control and get back to the good habits I thought I had nailed. I have 55 pounds to lose.

Aw, Jay... Those last weeks are really tough, especially for the mum-to-be, who's carrying all that extra weight. You're both going to drop some soon!

Back for round 2. My name is Steven and I lost 12 lbs during round 1. I'm 53 living in the North Texas area. I'd like to lose another 15. Currently I'm 300.3 lbs.

Hi it's Wednesday. Yay. I weighed in this morning at 214.8. So this is my starting weight. I'm aiming to lose 15lbs this challenge (5 every 4 weeks)

The start day is here!
Good Luck!
A journey begins when you take the first step, so let's step out!

The Good Loser's Prayer

Hey Jamie, where do we post? I wanna get started! Revved up and raring to go!

Hi, I'm Debbie. This is a first time I have ever joined a challenge. My total goal is to lose 90 lbs, but for the challenge I would like to lose at least 15 lbs.

Hello All, I'm so glad I found this challenge today. It's exactly what I need. My name is Rachel, I'm 43 years old, I have been married for almost 23 years. We have three boys, my oldest is almost 19, in the Coast Guard, my middle is 17, a senior in the fall and my youngest is 10 and is homeschooled. So my life is all over the place. I started getting healthy in Feb 15 and have lost 19lbs but I feel like I hit a wall and just can't get my motivation back on track. Hoping this challenge will motivate me, I have a long ways to go still. Looking forward to getting to know you all, If anyone is intrested I would love to have "Friends" along this journey!

Hiya all! I'm Janice , 44, from UK, working mum of 5 (aged 11 to 25). I found myself at 13 stones about 6 years ago and juiced my way to 10 stones in only a few months. I have always worked out (and worked hard at this), run and cycled so it was easy to maintain my new weight.....until recently when I needed surgery on my shoulder (I am now 3 weeks post-op) which meant my exercise regime came to a grinding halt, apart from walking. My weight is now 11st 7lb and I can't fit into anything! So here I am, very determined, to get back into my jeans. I'm looking forward to doing this with you all by my side. Good luck to you all and thank you, Jamie, for all you are doing x
