Hi! I'm Stacy and I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm hoping it will help me to be more serious about my logging than I have been lately.
My heaviest weight was 262 back in 2010
My starting weight this year was 254
My starting weight on MFP was 235 on 6/30
Current weight: 215.8
Goal weight: 150
I'm 5'2" and am going to be 40 on 1/10 and I feel better than I have in a long time. I started losing weight in March because I was getting near the end of nursing school and wanted to be able to start my career in a healthy place. I want to be able to work on my feet all day and not hurt from head to toe. I also don't want to tell a patient they should eat healthy and exercise if I'm not willing to do it myself. I got married in November and my husband has now started to work out and watch his portions too, boy does that make things easier.0 -

Hi I'm 5'7 with three beautiful kids. Just recently married the most awesome man ever 5 months ago tomorrow. I have not always been heavy but due to me not being as active as before the weight started sticking around. I find myself out of breath trying to run and play with the kids. I know I need to do something, so since October I have started working out to Shawn T Hip-hop Abs. I love it I can see the weight coming off and it's fun dancing. So joining this challenge is great motivation to keep me going. Good Luck Everyone.0 -

I'm 5'8" and turned 40 last March. I have a husband and a 10 year old daughter. After a healthy childhood, fell into awful food habits as an adult, along with a stop to pretty much any exercise. My heaviest was in the 230s. My knees are shot, I have high BP, and am seeing my daughter adopt poor eating habits. Started losing seriously in September, thanks to my primary doc referring me to a weight management specialist and a great nutritionist. I struggle with accountability and can't resist food if I'm near it. Not doing any fad diets, just long term shift of mindset re: food and working to set a better example for my daughter. Haven't been exercising but am working on strengthening my knees to do more. Looking forward to this group (the first I've ever joined) and checking in with others who are also working toward the same goals!

Heaviest weight: 255
Starting & current weight: 246
Goal weight: 199 (One-der-land!)
Height: 6'1
I'm 43 years old and live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm a married Mom of three kids (1 adult and 2 teens) and although my husband, friends and kids are very supportive I'm an emotional eater. I'm working on my own personal wellness on many levels and recovering from a recent depression (in which I packed on some additional poundage) but have had success with MFP in the past. I love the structure, the simplicity and the "If you ate this every day you'd weight 037.5 pounds in 5-weeks" feature.
I've never joined a group on MFP before and I may just sit back quietly but I'll still participate and I'm happy to be here.0 -
I'm Tammy and I just turned 54. I'm from Upstate New York. I have a desk job. I'm 5'6" and my weight is currently around 223. I was down to 180 at one point and then gained back up to 198 and maintained there for years. Over the last three years, I've managed to gain all of my weight back so I'm basically starting over. Again. My goal is to reach 170, and although that's still above all of the charts, I think I will look and feel just fine there. I have a Fitbit and I just bought a treadmill and a mini stepper and I'm determined to make this happen. Thank you for the challenge. The support is sure to help.0

I'm 4'10 don't know my weight currently but I'm was around 220lb a couple of months ago!
I work 2 jobs, a full time day job and 3 nights in a pub, which makes it easy to come up with excuses not to exercise.
I eat when bored.
I hope this group will keep me on track and give me an end goal.
I know I'll have bad days.0 -

Hi,
I am 5'4". I have been married 25 years. I have three great kids. I have a desk job and work very long hours. I want to make exercise and healthy eating a normal part of my life. Most of my life I had a reasonably normal weight, but the pounds inched up over the years. I also gained about 20 pounds after my mom died and never permanently dropped those pounds. I want to get healthy, look nice during vacations (in shorts and a swimsuit!), and look good for my oldest daughter's wedding. Thanks for the support and encouragement!

Hi everyone,
I'm 24 years old 5'7. I'm from London. I have office job and have become so sedentary in the last 2 years.
I've lost about 26lbs from February to Summer....I recently gained back 11lbs. Really unhappy about and I exercise a lot but I'm struggling to shift the weight. My biggest obstacle is diet, especially sugary treats. I'd like to lose 14lbs- anyone think this is possible to do in 8 weeks?
Lightest : 127 lbs
Heaviest : 156 lbs
Current: 141 lbs
Ideally I'd like to back to 127
We usually weight in kgs or stone in the UK lbs make me feel heavier....
I think this group will be great for me and good to meet others working hard too. Please feel free to add me...I need the collective accountability.0
