    Hey gang! I'm Tara (not so)Tall and I am hoping for 8-10 lbs as I push through insanity work out.
    I'm also from Canada and reallly excited to have some checks for self love. It's too easy to get focused on negatives during a wellness challenge.

    Great idea @BanannaNut !

    Hi again! So glad to see everybody checking in here and hearing their goals! I'm really excited for this challenge. I'm going to aim for 5 lbs, my name is Anna btw! Love to see what everyone's workout plan is too. I just started running and I'm definitely one of those people who just isn't meant to run, it's pretty much physically impossible for some reason and my face turns like purple, BUT I'm doing it and it's working SO TAKE THAT RUNNING!

    Challenge starts tomorrow! Don't forget to check in with a positive comment and log your breakfast while you're at it!

    Hi, I'm Elizabeth.
    I'm 50 and I live in Colorado.

    I am coming up on my 1-year MFP anniversary in the next week. I have lost 57.5 pounds, so far. I'm think I'm aiming for right around 100, but I'll see once I get closer.
    As of this past Monday, I weigh 197, clothed - which put me in the 'Overweight' category. Yay!

    I travel a lot, and log every day (though I lost my streak over New Year's, when I was without internet for a week).
    For exercise, I walk my dog between 2 and 4 miles most days, and I bellydance. I'm starting up, now, with some bodyweight exercises, so we'll see where that takes me...

    I love a good upbeat and positive challenge!

  • Hi everyone! I'm Julie, 42 years old and live in Chicago. I am shooting to lose 5 lbs by Valentine's Day. Looking forward to this challenge!

    I'm Andrea from NJ (right outside of NYC) and am 37 yrs old. I was in a relationship which ended over the holidays so this challenge comes at a good time. I'm hoping to lose 3 lbs by Valentines Day. I lose weight really slowly. I am pretty good about working out but tend to overeat. Thanks for setting this up.

    Hi, I'm Alice and I'm in MI. I'm looking to lose the last 6 lbs of baby weight from my second pregnancy. I'll have to tackle the rest of the baby weight from pregnancy 1 after this challenge. I actually decided to focus more heavily on diet than exercise right now because exercise was making me super hungry! I do exercise moderately tho when I can. Best of luck everyone!

    I live in Wales and am definitely up for the challenge of dropping 10lbs by Valentine's Day. It's a realistic target and I'm sure if we support each other we can do it! Thanks for setting it up BanannaNut xx
