    Hello, my name is Sean, and I live in Bergen County. My goal is to lose another 127 lbs. I've already lost 73 lbs, so I'm almost half way to my goal from when I first started.

    Hi! I'm Barbara also from Hudson County.
    I am a mom of a beautiful 3year old and I haven't been this weight/ size since high school. When my daughter was one I lost 50 lbs but then gained 10 back. Last winter I lost those 10 and now I am 3 lbs away from my original goal. Now that I am there I would like to lose an extra 10.

    I've been there too. Having support and connections and making it fun I think is important. :wink:

    I'm from Atlantic County and my goal is to loose 40-50 lbs. I'm down 14 so far. But 15 is usually where I plateau.. Looking to stay active as I approach that hurdle.

    Hi, from Morris County! I am hoping to fit back into my jeans that I have refused to give away for the past 15 years or so. I don't care if they are no longer in style, I just want to get back into them!

    Hello from Sussex County. I'm trying to lose 100+ lbs. I started (again) on Monday and I'm feeling more motivated then ever (so much so that I'm putting it down in writing).
    My goals are:
    to loss 150 lbs
    Go to the gym 6 times a week
    Record my food everyday
    Stick to a healthy eating plan (I don't like the word diet)
    And to eventually be happy with my body.

    Hi everyone, I'm from Monmouth County. Gained about 40 pounds in 4 years. Stress, medication and just plain eating and drinking too much. Today is day one of logging here. Happy to see some NJ folks around.

    Hi! I am from Monmouth County, I am trying to lose about 80lbs (seems so daunting..) and just be healthy overall. Ideally I would love to be able to run a 5k, right now I can't even run a half of a mile. My daughter does cross country so I would like to be able to go on runs with her for practice.
