Hi my name is Maggie and I live in Somerset in the UK. I am 61 have a bad knee and hip and need to lose about 10 lbs ( have lost around 20 lbs ) to help my mobility and pain. Looking forward to motivating and being motivated. Good luck everyone.

Hey everyone! I'm Zahyrah from Virginia, and I'm 19. I'm 5'2" with a SW of 137-138-ish. (I do not own a scale.) My GW is 125-130 pounds. I have been on MFP for about 40 something days now (my streak says 35 ) and I haven't been super serious about weight loss. I have been lazy, and have been inaccurately logging. This challenge is the motivation and accountability that I need. Let's do this!

Hi, my name is Tara, I'm 40, and I am from AZ. I have been on the heavier side since I was a teenager. I met my husband at the weight of 165 and felt I could be down around 150. Then the stress of marriage, kids, mortgage and so on happened and my weight just went up.
It's time to get this crap off for good. I have started a product called plexus to become healthier and get the toxins out oft body. My husband has done very well on it but me being and teacher and having the summer off well, you know.
I can't wait to get started!

Hi I'm Marie. I'm from Michigan. I'm trying to change my eating habits to be healthy overall, but need to lose about 20lbs. I want to build up more muscle as well!

HI, I'm from Long Island, NY. I am 41 years old and currently weigh about 170 LBS and I am 5'2". I just started taking Hot Yoga classes and running/walking 5Ks.

Hi, I'm Amber from Colorado! I have been battling weight issues since I was 7 years old. I have lost weight a few times before and have always gone very up and down. After recently hitting my highest weight ever of 271 lbs / 5'2" tall and being diagnosed with high blood pressure I lost 7 lbs and then gained back 3 of them. That's where I started using mfp and starting logging food and moderately exercising about a month ago. So I started mfp at 266 lbs and have lost 21.5 lbs in the last 31 days. The nutrition part of being healthy comes easier to me than the fitness part and I need the motivation to get more workouts in for the month of August! Good luck everyone!!!

Hi I'm Muffin. 5ft tall and 144 lbs at last weigh in. Need a little support to get pst the plateau I've hit.

Hey, my time is Amber aka Timelordlady85, mom to 3 boys, stay busy at home with my kids and work part time. I have lost 46.6 pounds and have another 40 ish to lose to reach my weight goal. I use my fitbit and polar ft4 to track my exercises and eat pretty healthy but still allow calories for ice cream and special nights out for dinner. I'm 5'3'' and weigh 185.4 would like to be at and maintain at 135 to 140 pounds with lean muscle mass and toned body. I use 8&10 pound weights during my aerobics and get at least 18k steps daily.

I'm Jamie.
My current weight is 261
Goal 175
August goal 253

This past month I've focused on changing my eating habit of eating for boredom and stress. I've about mastered that.
August goal is to implement in daily exercise and fun movement.
I bought a groupon for a boxing gym and their schedule should allow for two classes a week. The other days I'll do yoga walks or something else.
Healthy living for my son and sanity is the goal.
I can't wait. Add me if you want to share motivation or ideas.

sorry double post.
