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)

Hi,
I'm Nell and have over 100 lbs to lose. I'm trying to get healthy after 20 years of having an ED, so not skipping meals, no binging and regular workouts are important and kind of new to me. I'm 35, from Germany and really looking forward to the challenge!

Hi I'm Kalani just here to make friends and finally reach my goal you are welcome to add me as a friend

Hi all. I just got hired by a company who has a health and wellness facility on site and need a challenge to keep me using this benefit. (or I have to start paying for it) I am so ready to start losing this weight, I'm 210 and want to get down to 140. I know I cam do it, just need some help. (and motivation)

Hey everyone. I'm Laura and I've been on mfp for a few years but this is the first challenge I'm participating in. I'm 5'4" and my weight hovers around 175 pounds pretty consistently. I'm trying to transition from a calorie counting way of managing my weight to eating cleanly and in moderation but this is a hard mentality to shake! I eat pretty well but I'm looking forward to the Amazing Race side of the challenge.

Good Afternoon Fellow Challengers! My name is Marlene and I have been renting this body for the past 30 years. I can't say I have been the best tenant, but I am ready for the renovations to take place. Stand 5'0" tall (yes, TALL) and weigh 120.8 lbs/55kg. My goal is to lose 10-15 lbs and or reduce my fat percentage. I look forward to meeting everyone.
