    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!

    Hey everyone! I'm Alyson. I'm 28, 29 this year and am trying to lose about 24 lbs from my current weight.
    I got down to roughly 130 last year before my wedding, and felt pretty good even though it wasn't quite my goal weight.
    Between getting married, mocing, finishing up my associates degree, and having my first kid, I Shot up almost 50 lbs.
    I am back down to 144, and am ready to work hard to finally get to my goal. :)

    My name is Lindsey, and I am very excited about the group. I do not have any weight loss goals at this time, because I am currently pregnant. The last group really helped me to stay on track and keep myself active! I look forward to getting to know you guys!

    Hi, I'm Cheryl. I'm 36, living in NYC, and I've lost about 90 lbs from my highest weight (most--70 lbs--since committing to mfp in July 2014). I'm kinda-sorta in maintenance now, but still learning how that should work for me, and ideally I'd love to lose another 10 lbs and/or keep at it in the gym so my body continues to change. I'm looking for added motivation and support and hoping this challenge gives me new focus. This will be my first challenge. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

    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.

    Greetings! I'm Sharon... 52... Married... Grandmother, and the Crazy Aunt everybody warned you about.

    Since last March I've lost 40 pounds, I have a long way to go, but I'm officially medically no longer "morbidly obese" so that's a good thing! I'm pretty much tackling this ten pounds at a time.

    Looking forward to the challenge to keep me motivated. It turns out I'm much more competitive than I ever thought I was, so I hope to be a good team mate!

    Hey ... good to see you on this challenge. Niki

    Hello all.

    I'm Lucy 23 years old junior in undergrad. Took a year off of school due to depression and gained so much weight.

    I've been struggling to lose weight this year since I'm so fixated on the pounds. I'm aiming to lose 40lbs and this will motivate me since I'll have buddies and challenges.


    I look forward to this and meeting you all through this group chats.

    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. :smiley: so excited for this challenge!
