    Woohoo so excited! I'm Lissy and this is my second round here. I'm a desk jockey in NY and have two of the laziest cats out there. I'm recovering from an injury but I'm hoping to be back in full force by the time this group starts! I have about another 60lbs to go before I reassess and I've realized I'm only going to lose that weight when I'm surrounded by awesome, supportive people!

    Hi, I was in the Spring amazing race. Who knew exercising and losing weight could be so much fun!

    I'm married with two daughters who are back from college. One graduated this month. I'm 59 and was ahead of my time with childhood obesity. I've fought my weight all my life, sometimes more successful than other times! I have a desk job so I could be very sedentary if I didn't make an effort. Fortunately I enjoy cycling, hiking, gardening, downhill and cross country skiing.

    With the help of the Spring challenge I am at my goal weight. I am looking forward to the support from the challenge as I improve my fitness.

    Hi my name is Kim, I live in Leesburg, Fl. I'm 40 yrs old and I have 2 kids ages 16 and 5. I work as a CNA at a long term care facility. I was in the spring challenge and really enjoyed it. I have made some changes in my life recently that have left me a little less motivated on my weight loss journey. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things with this new challenge. I am looking forward to the up coming weeks ahead. Good luck to everybody and thank you Mel for all that you have done to make this all possible. If it weren't for these challenges I'm sure I would have fell off the wagon long ago and probably would have been back at the weight I started at. Best wishes to everyone!!

    Hi, my name is Kim. I am 41 years old, live in northern Massachusetts (originally from Boston), and teach elementary special education. I have lost and kept off about 60lbs, but there is an additional 10 that has been off again and on again over the last couple of years. Running is my primary form of exercise, though I also enjoy lifting, and this time of year I train for triathlon so I do some swimming and biking as well.
