    I would like to join the challenge for motivation! I want to lose 30 lbs, currently lost 7, but that's where it's been for the past 3 days! :| Currently eating 1200-1400 calories a day; drinking 12 glasses of water. I have 3 granddaughters and want them to know that Nana's gonna be around awhile!

    I'd like to join in!

    I had lost 37 lbs, but with an injury last summer, have gained 17 back.

    SW = 177.5
    GW = 125

    Trying to stick to fresh foods, good carbs, 1200 cal/day. And starting exercise program tomorrow (walking, weight training, etc). Hoping that joining this group will help to keep me motivated ...

    Thanks!!

    Hello! Thanks for doing this! I have 10 pounds to lose and do best when I am accountable to a group. My plan is to lift weights and do cardio for 45 mins,5 days per week, and walk 20 minutes at lunch, 5 days per week. I am also using MFP to track my intake to less than 1500 calories/day.
    Thank-you for starting this challenge, its a great May challenge!

    BTW-- I lost 5 of the 10, then gained it back within 2 months. So this time around I am working on changing my eating habits long-term, not just to lose weight.

    I would like to join! I am finishing my semester this week and have done some major stress eating. I am hoping to lose about 10 pounds this summer. Not quite sure yet about diet and exercise.

    Hi. Thanks for starting this challenge. I need a complete lifestyle change. I've been inconsistent with the diet, exercise and sleep. I plan to lose a minimum of 25 pounds and if not by weight then by pants size. I hope to fit into my old size 4/6's.

    I plan on using Fitness Pal to log my foods, 21 Day Fix workout DVDS, eating real, whole foods. Cutting processed sugar, processed foods, etc. And I would like to incorporate jogging/running into my plan.

    Currently, I am completey inactive (due to pure laziness). That's about to change and I look forward to the challenge and motivation it provides.

    I'd like to join.
    I struggle with it all. Lack of motivation & bad eating habits.
    However there are times when I'm really good about both and get on track.

    I'd like to lose total of 36lbs. Being realistic for May I'd like to lose 16.

    I'm in!
    Lost 10 lbs so far.
    Want to lose 15 lbs more.
    I've been eating better lately and have been doing the "21 Day Fix" workout videos. Going on vacation next week so I need to really be careful of what I eat.

    I'd love to join. I'm already do it but I'm hoping to loose more now as I've worked out how many calories I should be eating and I set up an account on here a week ago. And I'm being more organised with my exercise, knowing what I'm donig and when (kinda)
    Hoping to lose a few pounds, get fitter and more toned. Hoping to lose a bit by June so this is perfect.

    Exercise is brilliant for stress! Go on youtube, I love fitness blender but it can be tough. Try some low impact beginner workouts.
    Yoga is great for stress, it's not really for losing weight but it will help your state of mind and flexibility, I think it's a grest start. All the best.

    I would love to join. I need to lose over 50 pounds more, Ive lost about 13 so far and want to lose another 13 by July because Im going on an Appalachian trail backpacking trip with my boyfriend for a week. I mostly eat protein bars or hard boiled eggs for breakfast, a sandwich with veggie chips for lunch, chicken and broccoli for dinner and carrots, peanuts and cottage cheese for snacks. Im in the 1600 calorie range. I hike 3 miles with a 20 pound backpack on the weekends and try to get 3 miles of walking in everyday during the week wearing a 20 pound weighted vest.

    Hello. I'd like to join the challenge too. I am back after a long time away from MFP & starting fresh. I've only lost 2.5 pounds so far but have been logging all my meals, even the bad ones. I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds. I generally eat healthy although I have a sweet tooth that gets me. I'm gluten free and dairy free. I typically work out 4 to 5 times a week but have been getting sick a lot so I need motivation to keep up with it. I like Zumba, kickboxing, circuit training & running.

    I'm in :)

    - how much weight you have to lose - roughly about 20lbs
    - how much weight you've already lost and how much - aprox 8lbs (I keep losing and gaining the same 2lbs
    - Little bit about your diet and exercise plan - I follow CICO with between 1,200 - 1,500 cals depending on activity level/hunger and for fitness I like to jog, Crossfit/HIIT and Pole Dance at least three times a week.

    If you open up for more I'd love to join.

    After getting divorced I gained 40 pounds on top of my already overweight body. I need to drop the weight not only for my physical health but also for my mental health. I need to lose at least 60 pounds.

    I lost 70 pounds a couple years ago and have gained 40 of that back. I know I can do this.. because I lost it before. I just need to find my motivation.

    I started a couple weeks tracking everything I eat. I am attempting to reduce my carbs and fats but really no special diet. Just healthy cleaner eating. I walk when the weather is nice outside and do videos inside when it's not.
