Hi! I'm Tina and I'm 59 years old. I have been on MFP for years. I lose weight and then I gain it back. I really want to lose it for good this year. I have been logging in every day and walking 5 miles a day. This challenge will be fun. Thanks Sean and Lisa for setting this up.

My name is Amy and I am 29. I have 2 kids, a 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. It seems my problem isn't gaining weight during the pregnancy (it came off like water weight when my kids were born), but for both kids I gradually gained 20-30 pounds within the first year after each of them were born! I lost the weight successfully after my daughter. Went from 210 to 155, which was lower than my starting weight of around 180 before she was born. After my son was born I was around 165, and a year later I am at 190. Hoping to get back to a healthy LIFELONG lifestyle this time (unless we decide to have another kid and mix things up again haha).

Hi everyone! My name is Lynn. I will be turning 50 in July. I have been on this site for a few years and have known Sean and Lisa for a while. This challenge sounds like exactly what I need. I had lost about 30 pounds a few years ago and stalled. I haven't been trying as hard as I need to. I want to lose at least 20 more pounds. I lost the weight when I was logging daily. That is what I need to start doing and eating healthier. I am good at exercise. I walk 6 miles per day almost every day. I had a health scare back in November. For the most part everything turned out alright. But, when I was in the hospital they checked a lot of things. My heart is good and so is my kidneys and liver. I need to lower my blood pressure a little bit. It isn't super high, but needs to be lower about 10-20 points. If I lose the weight and get in better shape I know that will happen.
I want to be in great shape when I hit the big 50!!!! I already have the day before and the day of my birthday planned by going to 2 concerts. I will need lots of energy. Then the next day is my best friend's son's birthday. We always celebrate our birthdays (and her daughter's is the day before mine).

Hello! I'm Jessica! I'm 25, my CW is 252 and my final goal weight is 165. I am hoping to keep up motivation with joining this challenge. I usually do great early in the day but afternoon kicks my butt.

Hi everyone I'm Anita 56 years old. I'm also from Iowa but a Cyclones fan, Sorry JJ! I've been on MF for awhile. I just need some motivation to get started again.

Hi all,
I'm Sarah and I live in Gateshead in the UK. I'm 35 and married with 2 stepchildren.
I've been on MFP for 4 years, but only had success relatively recently with a personal trainer and a clean/paleo type diet. I'm now at the point of getting rid of the last 15lb (lost 30 so far), but I have been gaining and losing the same 5lb for over 6 months so I need to kick things up a gear!
Look forward to the challenge starting!
