Hi my name is Arianna. Right now I'm about 20lb overweight and 40lb from my goal weight. I'm here because I'm making a healthy life style change. Recovering from Binge eating disorder, vegetarian, and working to heal myself from the inside out (:0

Hi I'm Fergy (nickname). Too embarrassed to post a real photo. Joined MyFitnessPal today.
My current weight as of this morning is 220 1/2 pounds. This is the most I have ever weighed, in my entire life. My height is 5' 5". Basically I look like a beachball.
It's embarrassing and ridiculous and unhealthy. I hardly go out of the house anymore.
I am an over-50s grandmother and would like to find diet buddies who are also over-50s grandmothers. It's been impossible to find a diet buddy who I have anything in common with.
My desperate longing is to get fit and healthy, to be able to run and play with my grandchildren ages 10 years old and 5 years old.
I am discouraged and depressed about this situation. Thanks for listening.0 -
Hi! My name is Tara and I need to lose about 80 lbs. I believe I am an emotional eater that loves sweets, breads and sodas! I've hit at this weight loss journey a dozen or more times and hope this will be the time that I succeed. I just want to be a healthy weight, to look good and feel good about myself w/o feeling self-conscious about certain clothes that I would like to wear.0

I'm Sonya. Since my mom got sick in 2010, my weight has gone up from stress and worry for my mom. Two Christmases ago I started this app and by September last year, I lost 50 pounds. However, the day after Thanksgiving, my mom went to the hospital and was on life support. December 15th, she passed away. Since her passing I have gained back 30 pounds in two months. My mom would not want me this unhealthy!!! I am doing it for me and my mom.0

Hi, I'm Kara. I started this venture when I hit 204. I'm down to 191, and have been stuck there since December. Holidays and all...at least I maintained instead of gaining! Ultimate goal is to be at 155... I really want to get out of the "overweight" bracket of the BMI chart! 20 by June will get me about halfway to my goal. I run consistently a few times a week, but I think I've hit a plateau there and need to push myself harder.0

Hey there! I'm Val. I started this journey about a year ago, I lost about 40 pounds last year and I'm hoping to continue that this year! Although I've gained a lot of knowledge and have completely changed how I eat, I've hit a bit of a plateau. I'm definitely thinking this will get me on the right track again! I'm hoping to wear a swimsuit with confidence this summer as well as enjoying more outdoor activities! Lets do this!

Hi I am Kath. I am going to lose the 20 lbs by June 1 as I have two goals: first, I would like to lose the weight ( I have high BP and my doctor has suggested my weight is a big factor in that), and second, my daughter is getting married at end of June and I would like to wear something nice so that I am more comfortable having my picture taken. I am 200lb exactly today and am definitely highly motivated!0

Hi, I'm Lucy. I look forward to getting my mojo back and to feeling good about leaving the house instead of always wanting to hide! I think 20 by June is a great goal. I have 42 lbs to go to reach my goal of 155 and hope to do so by the end of September.0

Hi! My name is Debbie and my goal is to lose 70 more lbs. I'm currently at 218.6. If I can lose 20 lbs by June I'll be out of the 200's. I'm so tired of always feeling like I'm the heaviest lady every where I go. I want to be able to enjoy the rest of my life and not be soooo self-conscious. Also want to be able to play with my grandchildren.0

Hi I'm meghan. When I started mfp I was the heaviest I've ever been. I had starred last march and dropped about 11lbs then fell off the healthy eatig and exercise train. I srarted back up on january 1st, I am down 12 pounds now and have 16 to go to hit my goal weight and reevaluate. By losing (and by losing I mean never finding it again) I'm hoping to gain back my self confidence that I have lost gaining the almost 30-35lbs I had. Good luck to everyone 0

I'm Sandra. Currently I'm 160 and 5'2". At my highest weight I was somewhere around 220lbs. Been a member of MFP since 2012 and over the years have been up and down but more down--thankfully.
In 2014 I made it to 150 then got away from everything and put on 20lbs in a year and a half. By the December 2015 I was 171 again. Losing 20lbs would be signifigant for several reasons:- It'll be the lowest adult weight since starting college
- It'll put me 3lbs shy of the "healthy BMI" range
- I'll be 10lbs short of my ultimate goal
- My husband and I have vacation planned for June 18
- If I can put it on, I can take it off!

We are very similar in height and weight goals. When I started last year I was 160 and 5,1. I lost 11 then I stopped doing everyhing I was and gained back majority and when I started on Jan 1st I was 156. Today I am 144 and my goal is 130 before I reevaluate. If youd like to add me as a friend feel free. Good luck to you 0 -
Hey! I'm Sarah. I am currently 85 lbs overweight, so losing 20 will keep me going in the right direction and will put me at losing over 10% of my starting weight. It will also let me fit into my summer clothes from 2014 and I can get rid of last years. Good luck everyone! Feel free to add me!

Hi. I'm Adele (not the singer!!!). I'd like to lose about 40-50 lbs by the end of this year. I need the challenge to jump start this weight loss and keep my motivation going. I had lost quite a bit of that in 2011, but got off track and been having a hard time getting back on track. I will do it this time and keep it off.
I'm tired of the way I look, tired of the lectures from my doctor, I refuse to go buy any more "fat clothes", and promised myself I'd never go over 200~~time to get my life back!!!. I just started counting calories on Monday and drinking more water. My biggest problem is the liquid calories ==soda pop.

Hi, I am Becky! Loosing 20 pounds by June would mean that I've got my body and my mind back to a healthy place. Making consistently great choices that give me a total mindshift.

Hi, I'm Kathrine, This challenge is perfect timing for me. I live in a multi-family home and I am the grandma. We all decided to get back on track after the winter holiday frenzy. Eating healthy meals together and supporting each others exercise efforts. I need this Challenge to be accountable.

Hi - I'm Pat and on a mission to lose 20#s before my milestone birthday the end of April. If not, I for sure want it gone by June! I started Herbalife on recommendation from my doctor and so far - I love it. I've lost #3s but pretty sure it's all water weight with the amount of water I consume now:) Hoping warmer weather comes soon as I LOVE to walk outside versus the treadmill:)

Hello! I'm mid 40's and playing yo-yo with the same 20-25 lbs over the past couple years. I've got way more than that to lose for my final goal but so very upset with myself as this time last year, I was 25 lighter than now.
I'm a mom to three - one college, one high school and one middle schooler. All very active and on the run. I'm the one to be behind the scenes making all their stuff possible but that means that I have been putting their stuff before me. I need to take me back and then do them. Hard to do as a mom - see my stuff can wait, right? well waiting got me back on the top of a weight column I want to be at the bottom of!

Hi everyone! I'm Kathy. I've been on MFP for a very long time. I'll lose a few pounds, but they always seem to keep finding me again! I was "lurking" on the message boards today, trying to kick start my motivation (again) and saw this group. I've booked a scuba diving trip for August - really don't want to look like a beached killer whale in my wetsuit! I lose weight slowly, so 20 pounds by June 1 will be difficult - but ANY pound lost is better than pound gained. Overall goal is to lose 40 pounds in 2016.

Hi everyone - my name is Rose and it would be wonderful to drop 20 lbs by June. I look forward to that journey with everyone here. I need to drop the pounds to get my A1C under control. My biggest block is that I am very limited to the exercise that I can do. I broke my back about 5 years ago and if I do to much then I have problems moving or walking. So hopefully with help I can get my eating under control and drop 20 by june - look forward to working with everyone.0

Hello everyone! I'm Mallory. I had some health problems pop up around Christmas and subsequently gained back weight I lost about this time last year. I am ready to change my lifestyle and get control of my health. I want to feel light and vibrant, and like I have power over food rather than the other way around. I would love to be able to go on some long backpacking hikes this summer, and hopefully feel confident and sexxxay at the beach. lol.
Workouts help me stay sane and energized, so I don't have much issue with motivation there, but I struggle hard with diet and could really use some support and accountability with that lifestyle change. I'm glad to be here and looking forward to meeting you all.

Hey I'm Nikki, I'm hoping to drop 20-25 pounds to get back to where I was 2 years ago before I got an office job. It's so much harder to work out now! I had more confidence, energy and was in shape! so that's where I want to be again.0

Hello everyone, my name is DJ. My goal is to lose 20lbs by June 15th. I work out three times per week but I'd like to increase it to 5 days for the challenge and consistently tracking and eating according to MFP recommendations is my nutrition goal.
