    Hi!
    I have 10-15 lbs that I would like to lose. I've lost and gained the last 7 lbs about a million times it feels like. Basically, I suck at consistancy.
    Hopefully, I will be logging my calories and trying to follow IIFYM consistently. I will also try to workout 4-6 days/week. Either running, yoga, and/or lifting weights.
    I wishes everyone the best of luck! Here's to a healthy summer 2016!!

    I'd like to join! I'm on Day 2 of MFP. I weighed myself a couple of weeks ago and am at the heaviest I have ever been... Time to make some changes!

    I have lost 4 lbs in two weeks and started seeing a nutritionist. I am gluten and dairy free (mostly). And I would like to lose 32 lbs more.

    My calorie goal is 1500 a day, my exercise goal is 3x per week and to walk on my work breaks.

    Looking forward to this!

    Thanks,
    Ann

    I need the accountability too!
    I've been on Mfp for a while on and off, but I am currently at my heaviest. Need to lose 15 lbs. I'm watching my diet, but it's not the best. I'm doing about 1500 cal per day. Trying to get to the gym at least 3 times per week.
    Feel free to add!

    I hope it's not to late! I'd like to join. I want to lose 12lbs - 15lbs mostly my stomach fat and then tone up. I don't really care about how much I weigh because I know I'm probably am gaining a lot of muscle. I try to eat 1300 cal a day and workout 6 days a week. I need to start incorporating more cardio and yoga to my workout regime.

    I would like to join the challenge.

    I am looking to loose about 10 lbs. I try to stick around 1400 calories a day and go to the gym 3-4 times a week doing between 30-60 minutes of cardio.

    I try to stay away from lifting because I have been known to put muscle on very quickly.

    Hi! I'd love to join this challenge to help kick start my weightloss :)

    I want to lose around 75lbs, and in the past week already lost 4lbs, which isnt much but it's a start!

    I'm aiming at 1,200-1,400 calories a day and I'm planning to work out 3 times a week (cardio) with in between days for toning/strength :)

    I have a BED and have put on tonnes of weight because of it, and now I think it's time to do something right for my body!

    Good morning!
    I'd love to join the group - looking for a lasting means of motivation.

    For the introductory information: I would like to lose 10-15 lbs - currently 150 at 5'3". When I initially started the weight loss process, I was 185 lbs at my highest. SO, I've lost 35 lbs since then, but more recently about 3 lbs.

    My exercise plan consists of running 3-4 times a week, and now slowly adding in a strength training regimen. For nutrition, I try to keep my calories under 1500, but there is a nightly binge that begins around 7pm that blows that out of the water each night. Further, I am a pescatarian and try to have my protein intake around 70g a day - to satiate and fuel! I do not subscribe to any restrictive dieting, though I generally try to stay away from processed/fast/high sugar foods. Alas, sugar is a weakness (darn you, primative brain!).

    I'm looking forward to the accountability this group can provide - many thanks for opening the challenge! Now, to switch my food diary to "open"...

    Hey all!
    I need the motivation to keep pushing strong, so I'm totally down for this! You all seem to have joined several days ago, but it's not yet May so I have that going for me :)

    I have lost 65 pounds in the last 4 months, but I can see the weight-loss stall. I want to lose another 35 pounds, 8-10 of those in the month of May.

    To accomplish that, I'm eating at around 1500 calories a day and lifting several times a week.

    Looking forward to a strong month of weightloss (and gym gains)!

    I'd like to join your challenge! I have 40 lbs to lose. I've gained 30 lbs of stress(work) over the last 2 years. I'm on a Fitbit group with my family and we do the daily and weekend challenges to keep each other motivated. I have a gym membership to planet fitness and I have always loved lifting weights so I want to get back into lifting and more structured cardio along with cleaner eating and reduce my sugar intake. I'm going to be 45 in June. Would love to lose 10 lbs by then!! Im looking for motivation and accountability from others too
