    Hi! My name Akeesha. I am an Elementary School Assistant Principal and mom of a 16 year old daughter. I've decided to make losing weight my top priority (really this time around, lol). My goal is to lose 40 pounds. I'm trying to challenge myself to do things a little different this time, by being consistent in logging in MFP, exercising, working out, and reaching 10k steps per day.

    Good luck to you all!

    I'm Deshaunte.

    I'm 5'10, 23, and from Chicago. Currently I'm working full time & getting ready to start Grad school in the fall.

    Right now I'm around 152 pounds, trying to lose the last little bit of fat & transform my body to a place where I'm completely happy. I'm currently doing an at home workout program where my workouts average about 30 minutes & I do them around 6 times a week.

    Nice to meet you guys!

    Add me as a friend if you'd like, I'm pretty active on here.

    My name is Amma and I am 35 years old from NY. I've really packed on the pounds over the years but at the start of 2016 I decided the extra weight has to go.

    So far I'm down 25lbs with 38-63 more to go ( I have a range goal because I want to see what being down 50lbs looks like before I go the full 75lbs)

    Looking forward to speaking with you all!

    Feel free to add me as a friend
    If you have Fitbit message and I'll add you on there!

    Hello Ashley, welcome. I am new to this site. I don't know what is going on with the other ladies. I really have not seen any new post. I feel and look better in my clothes but is seem like the scale is still staying 12lbs lost. I am not going to give up. I try to work out 4days a week and I started to lift weight. I am looking for the scale to move.

    Hello I'm Lashana. I am 36 and trying to tighten up. I want to get back to the health conscious person I was 5 years ago. I am looking to live a very long and healthy life and I can't make it there without pushing myself. I hope this group can help push me.

    Hello everyone, 1 important thing I have to remind my self is that because of water gain the scale will go up and down and not to get stress over it.

    Hi, I'm 34 years old with 2 young kids. I just started getting serious about losing weight in February of this year. I try to eat a lot of fresh, minimally processed foods (far from perfect and not super strict). I just made 20lb loss this week and want to lose about 20-25 more then work to maintain it. Always open to more friends for motivation! (My dairy is open, so prefer if yours is too so we can share ideas. No pressure though :smile: !
