    Hello everyone! I'm looking forward to this challenge. I just finished up a Valentines day challenge and found it very motivational, so I'm ready to jump into another one. I'm 27 and have lost 37 lbs, only 11 pounds to goal.

    Hello everyone. I'm new to MFP and I want to loose 15 kg (not all in this challenge of course :) ). I'm 33. Once I've lost 8 kg in 3 months just by moving more and tracking my food, but then I changed my job, stayed late and lost my momentum. I want to learn eating in my nutrition range and working out every day again.

    Hi! I'm kind of new to MFP. I want to lose 80 lbs, have 50 to go. Just need to do it with other people. Doing it by myself is getting old. Looking forward to the challenge!

    Let me introduce myself. I am your group leader Melodie . I am a trauma icu nurse and in August when I started my first group I saw a need for a group challenge that was fun, motivating and supportive. We tried a 16 week challenge which was a little long and we tried a few different things but all in all we had fun, made a few friends and most of us lost weight . The big thing is being accountable. Don't give up on your self. The second group is the winter blast challenge and we tried an amazing race contest. Our challenge was only 8 weeks. We truely have had a lot of fun and many members will be returning for another round. Since August I lost 55 lbs and I am over half way to goal. So yes we will have fun while staying on track and striving to meet our goals.

    I'm Chris. I lost 60 pounds 10 years ago and have kept it off for the most part. The older I get the easier it is to put it back on. I'm having a real battle with salt lately, and I am a salt-snack person. I've been struggling with 10 pounds for the past three months... down 2...up 2...down 3...up 4! I will just keep working on it every day. I need to stay focused on what I know works.

    My husband and I retired last April. We walk everyday except some Fridays. I spend time on the recumbent then workout at the gym or to a DVD most days. My daughter teaches 1st grade and I help her out in the classroom every afternoon. First graders are a trip, for sure!! Looking forward to this challenge.

    Thank you, Melodie, for setting this up!

    Chris

    Hello to everyone! My name is Mandy, I'm 34 and have two wonderful boys. After my birthday I noticed that I started gaining weight until I reached a weight that I hadn't seen since after I had my youngest who is now 11. I went through denial, anger, and now I'm ready to kick my butt back into shape and make lifestyle changes I can continue for the rest of my life. I'm in it to lose a lot and gain everything!

    Hi my name's Isabel. I'm a mother of two and have found events like 10k/5k have been very motivational for me but am looking for more day to day motivation. Can't wait to start this challenge with you all and see how far we can go!

    Hi I'm Jen. 30yrs old 5'2" 140ish. Hit my first goal on VDay of 140. Now on to the next 10! Started at 156 end of November. I'm thinking I need to do a sprint triathlon to really kick my butt into high gear. If anyone has a similar goal message me. I like accountability.

    Hi. I'm Lucinda and I'm a 37 year old wife and mother of three girls ages 13,10, and 5. I also work as a part time children's minister. I started this weight loss journey one month ago today and I'm excited to say I've lost ten pounds. I hope to lose 100 in the long run. I'm excited to be a part of this challenge. I'm hoping there's a chance I can be in onederland by June just in time for Vbs, taking kids to camp and family reunion. Hoping this challenge can help keep me on track.
