Hi everyone, starting fresh AGAIN

Hi everyone! I'm Laura. This will be my first mfp challenge!
I'm 31yo, 5'4" 150lbs. My goal is to lose 15 lbs in the 10 weeks (maybe 20 if I'm lucky!)

Hello everyone.
I'm 29 from Houston.
My goal is to lose 20 lbs by June 1. Current weight is 163. Hoping to get down to 140 by summer. I've tried every diet under the sun; carb cycling, IIFYM, weight watchers, but this time I'm more comfortable with calorie counting and a balance diet that I can maintain long term.

I'm a busy 8-5 professional and I deserve a gold medal for snacking, junk food and sleep

Can't wait for March 1.

Good morning! My name is Sally and at 68 might be one of the oldest to join the challenge. My starting weight in August was 207 and have been at a 181 plateau for about a month. I have logged into MFP for 156 days and it has kept me following my plan. Life is busy and happy with running a business and playing often with my 13-month-old grandson. Looking forward to the challenge!

I just realized my birthday is 3 days after this challenge ends. I would like to fit in some blue jeans by then!

Hi, I'm Peggy. 62 yrs. old need to lose about 25 more pounds. Recently lost 31 pounds by hitting the gym every morning and watching my intake. Looking forward to the challenge.

I'm Kate, 27 years old and the mother of a 2 year old. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 190lbs. My goal weight is 140. I haven't set myself on a time line for it. When I reach it I'll be happy with it! I finally joined a gym this week. It's 24 hours AND is women only!! That's really convenient for someone like myself who is easily intimidated by lunks at the gym. I am trying to force myself to get in the habit of getting up early and going before work because evenings are just too hectic! On the first day I was there at 6:15AM; I was pretty proud of myself!! lol I'm excited for this challenge! I think this will be a good boost for me.

Hi everyone, STARTING OVER AGAIN! My name is Sharon. I live in rural Alaska. I’m 63 years old, have high cholesterol and blood pressure. I am hoping to improve my health by dieting and exercising. This group sounds like it will be fun and motivating and it’s exactly what I need! Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hey everyone!

My name is Ruffa, 28 from NC. my SW was 150, CW is between 131-133 and GW is 125. My goal is to get my body fat 25% or lower. I love running and going to zumba class, definitely a cardio person but i'd love to start lifting since i only have 5lbs to lose to achieve my GW.

I'd love to motivate everyone and to be motivated as well. so excited for this challenge!

Hey there! I am Lori. Starting over again...took a break for the last couple months and realized that I need accountability! I'm 47 and need to lose a good 50lbs. I love working out, once I get back into the habit. Haven't been consistent since the new year...time to get up and get moving again!!

Hi everyone! I recently joined MFP to help me lose about 9 pounds. I am a nurse and I work nightshift which unfortunately has caused me to gain weight due to my odd hours and making poor food choices due to being tired.

In addition to losing weight, my goal is to cut out sugary treats and focusing on choosing foods that nourish and support my body. I find I have a hard time limiting myself to "just one or two" when it comes to treats, so my goal is to cut them out in order to get on track.

I am really looking forward to this challenge and getting to know everyone better! We can do this

Hi all, I'm Dale, 65 and retired. I gained a lot of weight after I retired and finally got tired of lugging around all this extra fat. I came back to MFP around the first of the year. I've lost 11 lbs. so far and my first goal is to lose 36 more to get to 133#. After that, who knows?? I am an Intermittent Faster on a 18:6 and 24 hr. routine. I walk outside, use the treadmill on incline( no hills in Florida), ride a stationary bike, and have recently started lifting weights. I'm in good health except for some arthritis in my hips, knees, and shoulders. I take care of a husband, a horse, and a Great Dane who thinks he's human. I think this challenge will be loads of fun, even though, as a general rule, I'm not usually a joiner.

Hi!
I'm Katryn. I'm a 34 year old therapist and proud mommy of a brand new puppy who is definitely motivating me with all of his energy! My goal is to get into better shape so I can really take care of his needs, and look better doing it, not gonna lie . Also, I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is planning some kind of beach/water adventure for this summer, so bathing suits will be involved. My ultimate goal is to lose about 45-50 lbs, but probably about half of that during this challenge. Looking forward to it!!

Hello everyone! Jessica here from NY. I've been doing pretty good with my weight loss journey as long as I can keep being held accountable. I hope this group will keep me motivated to get to the finish line (27 lbs to go)
