    I'd love to join, too. I need accountability, but encouragement, too. I'm prone to bingeing/self-sabotaging when I feel deprived, so I'm trying to focus on all the positives instead of the negatives of getting to my goal weight. I'm a 42 yr old busy stay at home mom. I'm 5'5", 160 lbs with a goal of 130.

    Count me in!! I am doing this on my own and need all the friends/motivation I can get! Here is a little about me:
    38 yo
    5'4"
    231 lbs (down from 276 which is where I was 13 months ago!)
    Single, no kids
    Manager of an accounting department (which = sitting on my booty most if the day!). I love the people I work for and am not sure that I'd trade this job for anything
    Aunt to 2 very active boys, 10 & 4. I help my sister and her husband quite a lot with the boys and she and I are trying to help the 10 yo stave off juvenile diabetes
    My signature color is purple
    I love reading, writing, traveling, running (just recently bitten HARD by the running bug!), working in my church (avI'd JESUS LOVER here!) And going on short term mission trips
    I am going on a mission trip in June and have promised myself that I will have a 1 in front of my weight before I go, even if it is 199.99

    Thanks for putting yourself out there and putting this group together!

    My name is Elisabeth, and I am 26 years old, 5'7" and 210.4 lbs as of this morning! I seriously need a goal, and I need others to help me stay accountable! I would love to lose just 2 pounds a week so this is very doable! I will be weighing in on Wednesdays! I know it seems crazy to begin this before Christmas, but I have to start now! I can't go another couple of weeks until January 1st!

    A little about me:
    I am married to an amazing man, and we have an 18 month old daughter!
    Occupation: I am an R.N. per diem in a surgery center, but I mostly am able to stay home with my sweet baby!
    Favorite Color: Green
    Favorite Store to shop in: J Crew, Anthropologie and Target of course! ;)
    Favorite Hobbies: kayaking, cooking, sewing, photography, traveling!
    An interesting fact: My husband and I lived in Africa for 3 months back in 2012!

    Your turn! Ladies, feel free to add me! Let's do this!

    Svelte by Spring is the name of our group! ;)

    Yes! I would love to join you! Will send you a friend request.

    My name is Danielle. I am 46 yrs old, 5'4". Like a lot of folks, I have been battling my weight forever! I was at 145-150lbs and a size 8-10 for about 4 years, but then I slowly crept up to 184 lbs! I weigh 179.8 lbs as of this morning, and if I could lose 20 lbs by the end of March, I would feel that I can accomplish anything!

    More about me:
    I have been married to a wonderful man for 10 years! We chose to be childfree.
    Occupation: I am a substitute teacher and I volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium once a week.
    Favorite Color: Blue
    Favorite Store to shop in: The Goodwill (have a fab one here in Seattle!) and Marshall's
    Favorite Hobbies: Walking, reading, knitting, cooking (danger!)
    An interesting fact: My husband and I took a year off of work and traveled around the world in 2007-2008!
  • Hello! Please count me in as well! I have been on and off MFP for 1 year and have never joined a group. I love your title and energy! Coukd really use the help to stick to it this time. I am an executive in a company on the EC...essentially a desk job. I need to get up and moving - but not too much. I was doing yoga (of all things!) And tweaked my back which meant no working out for a while. I am back at it. I weigh 135 now -started at 142. 5'2. Goal is 115. Game on girls!!!

    I'm 5'8.5 and weigh 193 lbs I believe. I've been this weight since August lol...haven't moved much and I've worked out hard core last month and October. Too many things went on this month that I've slacked a lot. Having this job will help me get my butt in gear lol.

    I get up every day to exercise at 4am (crazy!!) I know exercise is not my problem - it's diet. And not that I eat bad food (don't do fast food, chips, etc) , just not the RIGHT food. And maybe too much wine. ;)

    20 lbs by March would be fantastic!!! Let's do this! Add me in!
    Linda

    This is me ALL the way! I def enjoy the exercise (for the most part) but my goodness the diet is SO hard and I am true lover of red wine. I def need to "report back" daily to keep my butt in line!

    Hi! I'd love to be included. This is my first post and I'm totally new to MFP so I'm not quite sure how to join groups.

    I'm 5'5" and 158 lbs. My doctor wants me to lose 25 lbs and my cholesterol numbers are rising. I can't seem to motivate myself and I tend to cave into my cravings.

    Hi, Stephanie here. I am very interested in joining if it's not too late. I got on the scale this morning and it said 129.8. I have never been that heavy before. I normally weigh between 110-115lbs. I let so much get in the way.
    I'm 47, 5'3" small frame and can't fit in any of my clothes.
    I've been married 16 years, and have 2 beautiful children.
    I've been a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA for 2 years and love it.
    Going to get back to the Burn the Fat program today and my 6 day cardio, 3 day heavy lifting program asap.
